ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The Well oiled Machine.

laton to the gubernatorlal boom that Chairman
Brady has launched for himself and newspapers like
the Pocateo Tribune than delighted
The Tribune is the medium through which Mr. Brady
proclaimed to the public that he had selected himself
the next executive of the state and that paper
takes great satisfaction in saying:
Not only were the people of Pocatello nightly
pleased Saturday evening to read in the Tribune the
announcement by J. II. Brady that he had decided
to make the for Governor, but there was pleas
ure all over the state, when the became known.
All of the comments have so far been favorable
to Mr. Bradys candidacy, and the movement in his
behalf has received such impetus that it is almost
certain that the state chairman will receive the CUB
ernatorial nomination by acclamation
One notable exception to the rule throughout
the state was the leading editorial in morning
Statesman, wherein column of type contains re-
markedly few words of definite endorsement of Mr.
Brady's candidacy, although the writer experienced
great trouble IN using up so much space without
saying anything.
With the exception of the Statesman, the Repub-
1can press OF Idaho is practically unit for Mr.
Brady.
In connection with its joyous outburst the Poca-
teo paper its readers that the silence of the
Boise Statesman is desirable than an ovation
from that source because it does not in any degree
represent the Republcanism of the state Upon this
inSinuation, clean party men may pin the hope that
the Boise paper contempates separating itself from
the machine and advocating popular moral principles
By the Nampa LeaderHerald, Mr.. Brady's self
applied boost into the limelight is we'll received
the Nampa paper assuming that he will be elected
beyond peradventure and will reflect credit and
glory upon the commonwealth as the successor to
the shepherd now presiding the Idaho flock In
its own words the Leader-Herald says:
State Chairman Brady has made formal announce
ment of his candidacy for the Republican nomination
for Governor. This will hardly come a surprise.
1T has been understood for time that his
friends urging him to do 1t is quite likely
that he will have no opposition He has given much
OF his valuable time to the Republican party and the
general feeling throughout the state is that he has
well earned this recognition.
The Couer d. Alene Press, though not of the faith
sees connection between the Governorship and the
SenatorShip i'll the casting of the Places saying:
State Chairman Brady announces his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for Governor which
is the first step in the combination between himself
and Senator Hepburn. This move leaves Governor
Gooding to shift for himself, and it is probable
he will retire to private life at the expiration of his
term.
The Twin Falls Times is the most progressively
,utspoken of any of the newspapers that have thus
ar expressed their views. 1t declares:
At last Chairman Brady has come out and an
his candidacy for Governor In rather
modest announcement Mr.. Brady acknowledges that
here may be better in the State fitted for the
osition In this remark The Times heartily agrees
also believes that he more honest than he
eally intended to be in the interview for publica-
on The Times also believes that the Republicans
this State will make fatal mistake if they place
IT. Bradys name at the head of the State ticket
fr. Brady the motive power that placed the
resent State officials in office, the boss of the ma
line, and this fact alone should be sufficient to
fectually prevent the gentleman from getting
rye number of votes from the many Republicans
no opposed to machine rule in State With
