Boise, October 10, 1910.
An optimistic air prevades Republi-
can State Headquarters today. Re-
lentless activity seems to prevail in
all departments and it is learned that
it Is to be inferred from reports COM
ing in from all parts of the state that
the outlook is decidedly favorable for
Governor Brady and the entire state
ticket. The ablest Republican orators
in the state are in the field. Harmon
ious conditions exist throughout the
state among Republicans. The temper
ance question and the Republican
partys unquestionable attitude
towards it is causing a great exodus
from the Democratic ranks and all
signs when considered. collectively,
point to a great Republican victory.
The concerted action upon the part
of Mr.. Hawley and his advisers to con-
centrate their attacks upon the admin
istration of the State Land office s
availing nothing, since all charges up
on this line are being so effectively re-
futed that no credence is to be attach
ed to them. A full realization exists
that they are given publicity for the
specific purpose Of excluding issues,
not to the advantage of Mr.. Hawley

II general comment by the business
men of Boise, regardless of their po-
litical afflliation, can be relied upon,
Governor Brady will receive the almost
unanimous support of the business in
terests of the state, because OF the rea-
son that careful investigation reveals
that every department of the state gov
eminent is in healthy condition in
dicating that Governor Brady's admin
istration has been, in the best sense Of
the term, a thorough business admin
istration, and that, as a consequence,
it would be illogical to swap Hoses

result, arrest the progress Of the
state.
That there is absolutely nothing in
the charges made by Mr.. Hawley upon
the administration of the State Land
Board calculated to reflect upon Gov.
Brady or the Republican party Is evil
denced by Governor Brady's position
and the records of the state govern
ment which are to be regarded as an
open book subject to the inspection OF
all. There is no effort on the part OF
Governor, Brady to meet charges
against his administration with any
measure of reservation, concealment
or evasion. To the contrary, as might
have been expected of an official, he
has ever been guided by the recogni-
ton of the principle that "a public Of

prominent was observed to have spent
its force when due attention was call
ed to the fact that Governor Brady in
the very inception of his administra-
ton had recommended the creation of
a Carey Act commission to lessen the
already over-burdened work of the
State Land Board and expedite the bus
mess of the state; and that through
fear of giving the Republican party
increased power by the patronage thus
created, the Democratic leaders of the
state, through the Democrats In the
senate, defeated the governors recon-

follow, and the responsibility shift it.

source.
Another matter upon which the DEM
ocrats base great hope, and which they
evidently early in the campaign
thought sufficiently potent to absorb
public attention. and thereby serve
their purpose, suddenly to their dis
comfort lost it's purported significance.
This was the charge relative to the
