Editor Hill of the Times is p
Democrat, and consequently not en-
titled to be quoted among Republic
can newspaper men, but Hill and his
wife made such favorable impress
sion among the people here on the
occasion of the meeting of the Press
Club, and rank so high in citizen
ship, that comment from Hill even
though Democrat might be worth
considering so we quote:
"The deposing of the present state
officers and placing of others of the
same stripe in their stead is not what
the people want. Brady admins
tration is not any more acceptable
without many promised reforms,
than is the present gangs ideas of
business government. The chance of
lulling the people to sleep with soft
words is past. 1t will be either clean,
honest, intelligent Republicans for
the state, or else Democratic vic
tory. The latter will be bitter medi-
cine for the old line Republicans, and
they should see to it, that no man OF
the old crowd which has controlled
affairs in this state should hold Of
fee"
The Pocatello Advance.
Truxton Talbot, editor of the ADJ
vance at Pocatello, gives evidence
that Brady is a good neighbor, and
that to live near him is to be more
loyal to him. The same thing may
also be said of the Mormons.
During the last campaign Mr.. Tai
bot was foreman in The Republican
office, and was emphatic and untir-
ing in his denunciations of the Good
ing administration and@the Mormons
in politics. AS the day of election
approached he was betting two to
one against Gooding, and frequently
had hot words with a Mormon who
worked in the printing office, as to
| whether or not the Mormon church
as an institution is traitor, and
through tithe-paying, every Mormon
deserving to be disfranchised.
Now he is 26 miles nearer Mr..
Brady and Mormondom, and in his
issue of February END, having laud-
ed Mr. Brady for as much as he could
reasonably think of in several edi-
lions and printing the names Of
Roosevelt and Brady at the head Of
his paper for chief executives. he
takes up the Mormon question and
Fred T. Dubois. He says he is in the
same position that Prof. Johnson was
| two years ago when he was editino
The Southern Idaho Mail at Bla "
foot, and Dubois called him Jack
Mormon" Johnson at that time was
defending Gooding, and the Mormons
and bidding them Guard we'll you1
constitutional rights Brady at the
same time was buying carloads of
the Mail to send out among the mi
ners of North Idaho, where il an
peared to have been written especial
| ly for them, and to refer directly to
the federation men held for the trial
of Steunenberg, and Brady and John
son were pulling the same string to
get the support of both Mormons and
miners. Mr.. Talbot serves notice
on Dubois that he has things to say
to him concerning Dubois past rec
ord, and that if he. Talbot, is to be
classed as Jack Mormon because
he is opposed to Dubois and defend
| ing the people from attack on their
religious belief, then he will answer
to the name of Jack Mormon Mr.
Talbot says he is not Mormon, bit
that he has respect for any man who
lives up to his religious beliefs, what
ever they may be.
Gnoding and Brady Inconsistent.
Two years ago all kinds of de-
mards were being made upon Good
ING to liberate Mover. HAYWOOD and

Colorado, back to that state 70 mar

state in general insisted that thew be
made to stand trial so that the courts
MIGHT determine their fitress to have
liberty and political rights, and he
