Boise, Oct 1O.-An optimistic air
prevails the republican state head
quarters today. kelenuess activity
seems to prevail in all departments
and it is learned that it is to be in
ferred from reports coming in from
ali parts Of the state tnat the outlook
is decidedly favorable for Governor
Brady and the entire state ticket.
The ablest republican orators in the
state are in the field Harmonious con-
ditions prevail throughout the state
among the republicans. State issues
under discussion and the republican
party's unquestionable attitude to-
wards them are causing great ex-
odus from the democratic ranks and

of Mr., Hawley and his advisers to
concentrate their attacks upon the
administration of the state land Of

a consequence, it would be illogi-
cal to Swap Hoses in crossing a

arrest the progress Of tne state.
That there is absolutely nothing
in the charges made by Mr.. Hawley
upon Governor Brady or the republi-
can party is evidenced by Governor
Brady's petition and the records Of
