are chagrined enough over the pos.

The writer Is free 10 admit that he
knows nothing about the personal
character OF Mr.. Brady only In
general way, but that there are rea.
sons for the objections among some
OF the leading republicans there Is no
foundation for reasonable doubt,
Generally speaking the major portion
OF the republican papers OF the state
accept his announcement with mucD
pleasure, but there are some papers
within the party which are bitterly
opposing his nomination. Among
the opposition IL to be found the
Troy News and the Blackfoot Re.
publican, t.o OF the strongest rural
papers In the state.
Those who oppose him do not aues-
tion his republIcanism, but do aues
ton his integrity II IL claimed by
some of these papers that he was

volt In the Legislature the last session
was due to the fact that some OF the
republican legislators imagined the
pledges ere put In the platform To
be carried out. Some of the machine
leaders and the members from the
Mormon counties evidently thought /
otherwise. When the revolt came Il

other state leaders, were called TO
Boise To whip the inserectos into line

pledges be carried out, IL Is charged I

took, which Is undoubtedly true.
IL Is equally true that some repub.
