Hon. James H. Brady,
of POCateIIO, PrOba-
bly, the Man
Already Has Enough Votes to As
sure His Nomination on
Republican Ticket.

Without attempting to dictate or to
unduly influence the course of the COM
ing republican county convention,
which meets at Rupert, August 22nd,
the Journal believes it duty to say
something regarding the gubernatorial
candidacy of Hon. James H. Brady.
Mr.. Brady, like all successful men,
has his business enemies. As the man
ager of the two last republican state
campaigns wonderfully successful
campaigns they were, too-he has
made active political enemies. All Of
these are to his credit. But his friends
are even more to his credit. He has
been at the head of some great enter
prises for the improvement of south
eastern Idaho; he has carried these
works forward in the pioneer days,
when arid Idaho was a very doubtful
proposition. 1t took courage, and in
dustry, and brains; and man without
the best elements of friendship added,
could never have done the work. Mr..
Brady, like most men with hair the
color of his, is aggressive, ardent,
strong in his likes and dislikes. He
will tell you what he thinks and believes.
If he says he is your friend, he is; if
he does not like you or your actions, he
will tell you so; but all this as gentle
man. Mr. Brady has carried on his
political campaigns, not for the fun of
fighting, but with the idea of winning
for the good of his party and of the
state. If he is partisan, so, too, are
you; if it is admirable for you to be so,
it is for him-and he has been success
full along clean, right lines. That he
has been conspicuously and optimistic
ally successful in business, social and
political lines, must make him better
governor than the unsuccessful man.
Mr.. Brady does not need the pledge
of Lincoln county, for he already has
the pledges of more than enough con-
vention votes to nominate him. But he
is man from our own section; ne has
helped build up this part of Idaho; he
is eminently capable and clean, and the
state would be honored by his election.
Lincoln county should give him hearty
endorsement for the unanimous repub-
lican choice for governor.
The place to start this endorsement
is at Mondays primaries.
To boost James H. Brady for govern /
or and to show the people of Idaho that
he stands ace-high in the southeastern /
part of the state, where he is loved /
most because he is known the best,.will /
be the object of special train of Pull
man cars which will leave Pocatello on
the evening of August 81 for Boise,
carrying hundreds of republicans from
the southeastern counties to the repub-
lican state nominating convention in the
capital city on September l. Three
bands win accompany the trains, and
every man and woman will wear a
Brady badge. Banners will adorn the
Pullmans, and when the train pulls into
the Boise depot the delegates from
other parts of the state will be made to
sit up and take notice of the fact that
Mr.. Brady will be the next governor of
Idaho. His nomination is now assured.
Enough counties have held conventions
and named enough pledged delegates
to the state convention to assure the
Pocatello mans nomination on the first
ballot.
A special rate viii be made by the ;
company for those who desire
to accompany the train and help to
boost for Mr.. Brady. 1t is believed
that at least 200 will go from Pocatello r
alone. Others will come down from
Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Montpelier, and
towns on the Park branch, and Mackay, a
and the train viii pick up other boosters t
at points along the line to the west. Il
