ABANDONS PARTY
ON QUESTION
Not Certain About Regulative
Railway Legislation

LEWISTON. Idaho, March "a
ION the temperance question stand
today as l have always stood. l am
in favor of closing the doors Of every
saloon within the borders OF the fair
state of ours, and the sooner it is
done the better"
In these words Governor James II.
Brady last night for the first time
since the beginning Of the primary
campaign made authoritative an
nouncement Of his attitude on the IL
quor problem.
On Inspection Tour.
Governor Brady arrived in Lewis
ton yesterday afternoon and last
night delivered an address in the
Presbyterian church under the aus
pices of the Idaho Children's Home
finding and Aid society, of which he
is president. The governor is osten-
sibly on an official tour of inspection
of the various north Idaho state in
stitutions, and it is claimed that his
visit is without political significance.
Regardless of this he was a very busy
man during his stay here, confering
with prominent local republican lead
ers. He is the guest Of the city while
here, and today was taken on an auto
ride to the various points of interest
in the vicinity, and was entertained
at luncheon at Lewis hall by the
Lewiston state normal school faculty
and students.
interviewed, Governor Brady ad-
mitted that he was a candidate for
the nomination to succeed himself,
but stated that he did not care to
make a long primary campaign, and
would not formally announce himself
until time for the filing of deelara-
tions of candidates in June.
When asked If he intended to de-
clare himself in favor of regulative
railway legislation, as reported. he
stated that he was not prepared to
answer, as he had not given the sub
ject sufficient consideration, but that
he would favor revision of existing
revenue laws, and that the principal
plank in his platform would be state
wide prohibition.
Not Announcing Candidacy.
There are many things that re
quire legislative action at the next
session of the legislature" he said
but in my Judgment the most i'm
portant is the tax question. The tax
laws need revising badly. and l be-
Iieve that all parties will cooperate
in securing the passage of more
equitable and efficient tax provisions
"As regards my candidacy for the
nomination l will say that / hope and
expect that my administration viii
receive the Endorsement of the people
OF the state, but / do not propose tC
conduct a campaign for eight months
out of the year, and for that reason
| will not make a formal announce
ment until June. / have performed
the duties of governor to the best o
my ability and have given the people
the best effort there is in me, and
| they will be able under the direc
primary law. where each voter goei
into the booth alone to make his o.
i her choice, TO say whether or no
they approve of my official acts. l an
frank to say, however, that will b
satisfied with their decision whateye
1t may be-"
