Montpelier Examiner: Two years ago James H.
Brady, chairman of the Republican State central
committee felt that he would like to represent Idaho
in the United States Senate. He was opposed to
the policy of the State convention indorsng
didate for that high honor and through his friends
made fight in the county conventions against such
policy When the time for the State convention
arrived both Mr.. Brady and Mr.. Borah claimed
that they could control the convention The con-
test had become that on the eve of the
convention it was apparent that the only way to
avoid a factional fight within the party was for
either Mr.. Brady Mr. Borah to cast aside their
personal desires and unite upon plan of action
After a conference of the leaders in the party Mr.
Brady graciousy laid aside his ambition and heartily
Endorsed the nomination of Mr.. Borah. His action
at that time won for him thousands of friends
throughout the State and he stood before the Re-
publicans as being broad minded man-one who
was more anxious for the success of his party than
he was for his own political advancement. He
further acquesed in the desires of the party leaders
at that time by again accepting the Craftsmanship
OF the State central committee. He worked with
untiring efforts during the campaign and led the
party to a glorious vistory.
Today Mr. Brady stands as a candidate for the
nomination for Governor, having so announced him
self through the columns of the Pocatel1o Tribune
and Advance last Saturday His statement to the
honesty.
While aspiring for the gubernatoria honor he frankly
states that If the Republicans of Idaho think it bet
ter to select some elSe he will cheerfu11y accept
the result and will work for the success of the
nominee as vigorously though the honor had
fallen upon my shoulders"
The announcement of his candidacy has met with
unqualified favor from every section of the State and
1t is the prediction of The Examiner that Mr. Brady
will be nominated for Governor at Boise on the first
day OF next September by accamation
Mr.. Brady is in every way qualified to discharge
the duties that devolve upon the Governor of our
State lie is man who possesses more than or
Qlary executive ability; IS of affable disposition vet
rm III all his transactions He is deeply interested
in the upbuding of our State and is heavily in
tereSted IN several industrial enterprises. He is
man who would give the State good, clean. bust
ness administration, and that is the kind of man
the people want.
Blackfoot Republican: All public men expect TO
be subjects of criticism kindly and otherwise accord
ing to their work and the temper and character of the
people with whom they come in contact and Mr.
Brady has always shown himself willing to stand the
tlre and abide by the decision of the people We
are glad that Mr. Brady has announced his position

Tor 1t IS an important campaign that is coming on
ana the demand Tor higher citizenship, cleaner
patriotism, freedom from machine politics and from

IS administered by them through their servants if
IS now time to raise any questions they may wish re-
sardg Mr. Brady and his fitness for the position he
