Stand Up, Jim Brady

ism you impugn.
Your campaign manager and close
confidential adviser is the same viii
ii. Gibson, who as secretary of state,
got in on the Emmett bench land grab
through dummy. He gave up an
honorable position with salary at
tached to become your political man.
ager, for which service you made oath
you paid him nothing. Is he slated to
be chairman Of your Cary Act com
mission? Speak up loud.
1t was published in one of your
Boise organs that Max TAYLOR had
quit the employment of the Statesman
to act as press agent for you during
the primary campaign and yet you
make oath that you did not pay him
one cent. Speak up real loud in ex-
PLANTATION of these facts, Governor.
With your attorney-general, who
has been as serviceable to you as a
lamp post to a dog for the last two
years, it is charged you ordered Regist-
rar Jenness, of the state land board,
to destroy the minutes he had iotted
down of the last meeting Of that board.
What right have you to change or al
ter the record? Speak up real loud
on this subject, Governor!
Your land commissioner, Geo. a.
Day, is openly accused Of obtaining
Cary Act lands and of appraising
lands, which he sells to the Austin
Sheep Co., and paws for the same by
drawing their check himself. Is he a
member Of the Austin Sheep Company,
or is he at once their agent and the
agent of the state? Speak up real loud,
once more, Governor.
The Anti-Saloon leaders were brush
ed to one side on primary election day
in Ada county, and Col. Sam f.
Myer, one of the most notorious ''wets"
in Idaho was put in charge of your
campaign and in charge of the cam
paign Of the wet legislative candi-
dates. Speak up real loud, Governor,
and explain the nature of this deal by
which you and wet legislative
ticket were selected in Ada county.
The people want you to answer.
In 1904 you are accused, under
oath of the present proprietor of the
Capital News, Of having debauched
that paper by the paying of one thou
sand dollars to its then editor to sup
port Frank r. Gooding; and now the
sheet is supporting you again and
villifying everyone who stands in
your path and protesting its course is
virtuous with as much vehemence as
it did when it is acknowledged to have
been your hireling. Speak up, Gov
ernor, no one is holding you.
You say it should be criminal
ofiense for a state official or for sub
ordinate to speculate in Carey Act
lands, and yet with your full know
ledge and official approval, Joe Peter
son, an attache in the Office of Attor-
ney-General McDougall, organized "A
Carey Act company and is part owner
of the same. If Peterson act should
be crime against the state, what
about tie governor Of the state and
chairman of its land board, who gave
it official sanction? Speak up Cover
nor; the people demand to know
Why is the states land business
conducted behind locked doors and
when did you ever come from behind
those locked doors to protest against
the acts OF your associates whom you
now blame? Speak up, Jim; let the
people know.
When you accuse Lansdon, why dc
you remain silent about Lamp Posi-
McDougall and Belle Chamberlain
and Will Gibson and George A. Day,
who are all tarred with the same
stick as Bob. Step to the center Of
the stage, Governor, and let the PEG
pie know.
Why has your committee chased it,
legs off running after Barney O'Nei
to preside over one Of your meetings
Surely, Governor, you would no
speak from the same platform al
O'Neil, whom your hirelings hav,
denounced as the agent for Spokane
brewery and who attended the Rem,
prize fight. Speak up, James, thu
people desire to know just how thick
is the coat Of hypocrisy that you wear
Why does the Bradyized Weise
Signal suggest that this same O'Nei
whom it villified all through the pri
mary campaign is the proper man TO
governor two years hence, and WIN
did you in north Idaho in public ad
dresses assert that Barney should hav
waited two years and he could hay
had the governorship. Surely, Cover
nor You do not cnntemnlate turnin,
