language ~ to assist his candidacy
for denomination. but In It's enthus-

this In an editorial which will be
found reprinted In this issue OF the
Press as showing the weakness OF
Governor Brady. When reading
these ngures the fact must be kept in
mind that they are from Governor
Brady's strongest Newspaper.
After referring TO the situation in
the state OF Alabama regarding the
prohibition question. and pointing out
the possibility OF a repetition OF the
conditions In this state. which would
follow state wide prohibition. the
Capital News says that "A repetition
OF this result is what IL feared by
real temperance advocates In this
state" II that were true and Gov
ernor Brady has declared himself for
state Wide prohibition. why does the
Capital News attempt 10 brighten the
people by holding up claSatone AZ
bugaboo and asking O'Nell to with
draw for the purpose OF preventing
state wide prohibition by the election
Of GLADSTONE through second choice
votes7 The argument ia Illogical or
Brady IL still INDUCING in his char
aeteristle policy OF trying to deceive
the people BY fayoring local option
Ut one time and state wide prohibit
tlon at another. His antics and dou-
BILE dealing are causing a rapid tall

p0rters.
The Capital News asserts that
o'Neil cannot be nominated and then
proceeds 70 show that no viii. ac-
cording 70 ita figures. receive 1880
votes At the direct primary. while
Governor Brady will receive 1919
or but 72s votes more than o'Neil.
For candidate who claims that he
Il the only one In the race these ig-
ures do not look very good and II the
Capital News cannot make q better

say nothing. II comedies o'Nell an
even break with Brady in Ada county
and lta ngurea from other counties
ah0w a weakness which has never
before been admitted by the COVER

o'Neil 1900 votes IN Ko0tenai TO
760 for Brady and the same for Clag-
stone shows the weakness OF the gov
ernoF In the northern counties, be-
cause the vote IN this county Is
fair estimate OF the vote In all the
northern counties.
After publishing this array OF "a
nres showing the weakness OF It's
favorlte candidate II proceeda to fE-
uFe up the second choice votes show
lug that neither Brady or o'Nell can
win the nomination. but that II
o'Neil does not withdraw from the
race Clagntohe will Do the choice for
the nomination from tho fact that
the sNcond choice votes which he re-
eelyes will give him q majority when
added 10 his irst choice votes. Hut
why o'Nell should be sacrificed on
tbs altar OF Withdrawal any more
than the governor. who u conceded
20 be the weaker candidate when Il
comes TO the general election. the
CAPITAL News does not inform the
