A Great Day for Brady.

Saturday Brady day in the Businesses of the
saints, He endorsed by republican conventions
in Bannock, Bingham and Twin Falls counties. He
delivered exciting address at the Bannock county
convention and in the course of his remarks he
alleged that he had always been in favor of prim
airy election law and of the same opinion still
No in the audience fell dead, but it was
close call. This immunity from fatal consequences
encouraged Governor Brady to proceed and he
assured his audience that he would recommend
primary law in his first message even if there should
be primary election plank in the platform of the
republican convention
When the audience remembered that the Brady
Gooding machine made nearly identical compact
two years ago, and put it in the platform and paid
no further attention to it, the convention realized
that it was backing one of the most promising
in the republican party and gave voice to burst
of enthusiasm that lasted ten minutes.
The Bannock county convention then adopted
resolution in which it solicited the nomination of
Mr.. Brady by the republican state convention as the
gubernatorial candidate of that party
Through the action of these three counties tits made
certain that Mr. Brady will to the Gentle line
of the state with the undivided support of the hier
arcl1y strength that cannot be overcome by those
republican citizens of Idaho who able to quail

patton of the poygamous in these conventions that
the hierarchal machine does not intend to pay any
attention to the supreme court decision that recently
gave vitality to the constitutional test oath. Only
voters participate in conventions, legally and
member of the Mormon church is a voter.
Mr.. Brady may be nominated by the aliens of the
Mormon church. but his election will be quite another

TEXAS SCHOOL LANDS
BRING GOOD PRICES.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 17,-State Land
Commissioner Terrill in his biennial
report to the governor makes the as
tonishing statement that during the
past two years 6,3S3,0O0 acres of
school lands have been sold to settlers,
immigrants and spectators.
Most OF the lands sold are situat-
ed in the panhandle and near the New
Mexico line. The lease system had to
be discontinued on account OF the
great demand from the people who de-
sire to buy the state lands outright.
One million three hundred and fif-
ty thousand acres of land sold revert
ed to the state because the purchasers
failed to comply with the provisions of
the statutes and their contracts. There
are yet seven millions of acres of sec
tionalized land in the state which
can be purchased by those who desire
them Some of the land that five
years ago sold for two dollars per
acre cannot now be bought at TWEEN,
ty-two dollars per acre.

SECRETARY METCALF
DOWN AND OUT
His Resignation as Head of the Navy
Department Probably Caused by
Differences With President.

Washington, Nov. lin the Ma
tional Capital there is a great deal of
difference in opinion whether Secre-
tary of the Navy Metcalf resigned on
account of ill health or on account of
the differences in opinion between his
superior, the President, in certain
matters affecting the management Of
the Navy Department.
When the Reuterdahl charges were
published in a New York magazine
the Secretary was inclined to the be-
lief that they had no foundation in
fact, and he sided with the officers
of the navy who took that view. The
President himself resented the charg-
es, but it is pretty well known that,
in part, he thought there was truth
in some of them.
There was no open breach. The
administration recently has been seek
ing first hand information from one
prominent subordinate, rather than
from the navy chief.
The President and the Secretary
disagreed utterly about the advisa-
bility of publishing the proceedings
of the Newport conference, but there
was no public difficulty between them,
and it is certainty that Mr.. Roose-
welt wanted Mr.. Metcalf to stay in
the cabinet until March. The Secre-
tary has not been well, and he con-
cluded he would make way for Assist
ant Secretary Newberry who has been
active in departmental work along
lines wholly approved by the admin
istration.
