hartman of the republican state cen
al committee and candidate for gov
tnor on the republican ticket, ar
we'd in the city yesterday afternoon
ON Wallace. Mr.. Brady is on a
sit to political friends through the
'brthern part of the state, and is ac-
bmpanied by Charles Shoemaker,
hartman of the central committee
If Kootenai county.
A Mr.. Brady spent the afternoon in
Ae city visiting places of interest,
aders of the party organization of
1 e county and business men. The
kening was spent in consultation
18th friends and political leaders at
e Hotel Idaho and the Commercial
ub. He departed on this morning 8
ain for Standpoint.
Mr.. Brady was seen during the
gening by a representative of the
ress and Intercepted as to different
bases of the political situation as it
bnfronts the voters and citizens of
he state. The question was submit
ID to him as to who were the favor
es-the choice of the people as can
hates for president in the two rec
nized parties. The reply came un-
esitatingly and direct: Among the
publicans Taft, among the demo-
8ats Bryan"
What effect is the Mormon ques-
bn going to have in the campaign;
it still to be called and regarded
a dead issue? was the next Ques-
pm asked. THAT is hard to tell, "
replied. Then, continuing, he
i'd: 1T is hard to tell whether it
going to be an issue or not. There
more opposition to Senator Du-
pis' position on this question at
resent than there has been in any
her campaign at this length of
me before the nominating conven-
on. But Senator Dubois is a man
no has more personal friends and
ore close political friends than any
her man in the democratic party
the state, and the opposition will
how that they have been through
contest before they wrest his power
ON him." His attention at this
lneture was called to the fact that
purported meeting of democratic
aders at Lewiston resolutions had
pen passed derogatory to Debois
hd in opposition to the Mormon
pestion, and a vote taken to elimin-
e 1t from the coming campaign
'he same condition of affairs pre-
Ail in Ada and Canyon counties, and
putheast Idaho" he said. THE APP
prtionment as to delegates for the
putheast is light and it will not have
luch of an effect in the convention,
yen though the delegates, as they
ill be, from this portion of the state
against and in favor of the Nor.
Jon question evenly divided" He
as asked If he believed that with
e Mormon question eliminated from
democratic platform the results
build be changed at the election
Duld such step make the party
ronger? mo, l do not" was this
ply. IF it is not dropped the stall,
lrts will be passive, and If it /.
opped the followers of Dubois viii
passive. and l can not see where
y gain would be made by such {
icy. That is my honest belief
candid opinion"
To what extent. If at all. are this
ais of the officers of the Western
Iteration of Miners going to be in
we'd in the campaign? he wal
Eed. II do not think they will b.
Tolved to any extent at all" he re
ed. Il do not think they will have
effect at all on the political sit
ion in the state or their cause b
de an issue by either Of the two
ognized political parties.
With that statement he left tbs
1ject and talked at length on the
siness depression that the land hai
n experiencing and the wonderful
ources Of the northern part of tn,
te as he had found them and seel
