desire to have the people Of Idaho
relieved? 1t is perfectly proper, Of
course, for him to take friendly

Of other states, but why does ne take

Reports are being received from
the irrigated districts in the Differ
ent parts of the state to the effect
that there is general indignation ov-
er the charge that Mr.. Hawley, the
democratic nominee for governor. is
making that the administration of
the State Land Board in connection
with these projects, has been such
as to make it impossible to secure
capital to carry on these projects
and has stopped all immigration to
this state. The most substantial CT
tizens at these several points brand
the statement as being absolutely
| false and characterize the effort Of
Mr.. Hawley toride into Office by resort
ing to such practice as contemplate
and beneath the dignity Of a gentle
man. In view Of the fact that 1t is
known that there Is nothing to the
charge and that II is calculated not
only to injure their sections and
them from financial standpoint but
the state as well where the real facts
are not known. Not few of the
leading citizens from these sections.
who are attending the State Fair this
week have been interviewed relative
to the matter and express themselves
SO forcibly as to evidence that MI.
Hawley has perhaps started more
than he thought, and that the reac-
ton will be anything but favorable
to him. Republican leaders at the
capitol are amused at this effort Of
the democrats to divert attention
from real issues and say that it will
prove failure. They point to the
fact that 1t is not an issue except as
the republicans have made it one.
They emphasize the fact that it was
a republican governor who through
his knowledge of irrigating matters
saw the need of Carey act commits
sion and recommended it to the leg
islature, that it was not the republic
cans who defeated this recommended
ton, but the democrats of the SEN
ate, by direction of the members OF
the democratic state central commit
tee for political purpose, and it
was not democrat who brought to
light these irregularities of the re-
gister, but Governor Brady himself.
Boise, Oct. II, 1910.
The disposition of Mr. Hawley TO
criticise the republicans for extra
vagance in the present state admin
istration is creating much comment
adverse to Mr.. Hawleys 1nfounded
criticism, and republican leaders
suggest that a comparison be made
between it and Governor Hunts adj
ministration, that Mr.. Hawley eX
plain why it was necessary for the
last democratic warden of the state
penitentiary to be removed, why It'll
was that the last. democratic State
Land Board sold over 100000 acres
of the finest timber in Idaho for
S4.85 per acre when Governor Brady
can get $500 per acre for less val
able timber; why it was that the re-
publican administration has had to
pay off bonded deficiency in cur
rent expenses inherited from the
last democratic administration of
nearly 100000 and why Governor
Brady has earned for the state of
Idaho 100000 from the land de-
partment alone as against $4,000
under the last democratic admins
tration?
