RIDDLES Mr..
HAWLEY'S CHARGES
GOVERNOR BRADY SHOWS UP
BASELESSNESS OF DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTIONS
Hall Crowded to the Doors and Es-
ecutive Compelled to Address Ov-
erhOw Meetng.-Much Gratified
With Reception in North.

Occur d'Alene, Oct 12.-Govern-
or Brady arrived from Standpoint az
O'Clock this morning and spent the
day consulting with political lead
ers. He expressed himself as very /
much gratified with his reception in /
the north and said his meetings at /
Bonners Ferry and Standpoint were
more than twice as well attended /
this year as they were two years ago |
The same can certainly be said of
Occur d'--ene, as he received the
best reception on tins trip that any
governor has ever received IN lnis
state. over 1000 people attended the
meeting and many more were turned
away. He held the absolute a,,ention
of the audience for over an hour and
delivered the best vote-getung spec
that has ever been delivered in this
city.
After the regular address of Gov
ernor Brady there was such a de-
mand to have him speak to those
unable to gain standing room in the
hag, that he consented to address an
overflow meeting at the moving pic
ture theatre and fully 500 people lis
tened with earnest attention to his
remarks.
A special train was run from Post
Falls, bringing large delegation and
the Post Falls band and the Occur
d'Alene band also joined in the mer-
rymaking
In part Governor Brady said:
"The state land board seemst 0 be
the special grievance of Mr.. Hawley
and he generally devotes a greet
amount of his valuable time to tell
ing the people of the terrible things
that we have been doing on our land
board He absolves me from any
intention of wrong doing, but at the
same time seems to feel that ! should
be held personally responsible for The
acts of each and every member of Che
board. This is specially denied. Every
one knows that under our constitu-
tion practically every department Of
state is composed of board consist
ing of four members elected by the
people. My statement that l am not
responsible for the action of every
member of the board is amply borne
out by the fact that by closing his
address at Lewiston Mr. Hawley sal /:
The states affairs are governed ~
boards and these boards are compos-
ed of states officers. If am to car
ry out reforms will need the assis-
tance and advice Of those who are IN
sympathy with me.
PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS
This is very plain and frank
statement by Mr.. Hawley of the ac-
tual conditions, and yet with all the
genius and cunning of trained Grim
inal lawyer he tries to indict me for
wrongdoing under conditions whicn
he says himself place the control De-
yond me- In other words his years
OF criminal practice have so warped
his line of thought that it would
appear that he was trying your ex-
ecutive for a crime. If such is the
case he seems to have always picked
a democratic audience for his jury
and / want to say to you that while
i am willing to be tried l am going
to take change of venue and place
my cause before the entire inteingent
citizenship of this state and l will
BE- perfect satisfied with their ver-
dict.
CONTROL OF LAND BOARD
Talk about me controlling the
land board. Bob Lansdon has at all
times tried since have been govern
or to thwart and injure my admins
tration He fought me yiciously,
which. of course, he had a perfect
right to do in the primaries, and ther
1 carried 19 of the % counties by an
overwhelming majority. He was moi
satisfied to stop there as good Re
publicans should do, but he refused
to certify my nomination until tn,
highest tribunal of the state com
PEELED him to do so. In addition e
that he also refused to certify tbs
Socialist ticket, doubtless believing
that if there. was no Socialist ticke
in the field that the voters of theh
party would go to Mr.. hawley Whil'
