RELATIVE TO LAND OFFICE,

The charge made by Mr.. Hawley
the Democratic nominee for Governor
in Boise, September cath, that the
administration Of the State Land
Board had been such that capital
could not be secured to carry on irri-
cation projects. and that immigration
was at standstill as a consequence,
is entirely at variance with facts, and
is greatly deplored in business circles.
Capitalists interested in Idaho irri-
cation bonds to the extent of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, ridicule Mr..
HaWley's assertion; but deprecate the
rank demagoguery that prompt
ed him to resort to such contemplate
politics. No little surprise is expressed
that Mr. Hawley, who was expected to
make a dignified and in every way a
respectable campaign, would have re-
sorted to such means. BY a distor-
ton of facts, he has placed the state
in an attitude to be unjustly censured
has probably arrested for a time i'm
migration to this state, and has in
PRODUCED such an element of doubt
into the situation that capitalists will
hesitate to invest their money In Ida
no for time. There was no cause
for Mr.. Hawley's charge, 1t was evil
IDENTIFY inspired by the rankest of
demagoguery. BY it, he has struck the
fair name Of the state a foul blow,
a blow which was entirely unjustifia-
BILE, and as a result, he Is receiving
no little condemnation, but the gen.
eral belief is that it is entirely mer-
tied.

WOULD BE THE WHOLE CHEESE

Charges have been made against
certain elective state officials, assum-
ing that these charges are also true
as a matter Of argument, does it logi-
cally follow that Governor Brady was
responsible? Mr.. Church was charged
with certain Irregularities and his dis
missal was brought about by Governor
Brady. Did Mr.. Hawley's leaders and
official organs come out in indorse-
ment Of the governors laudable
course? Nay verify. Then they, in line
with their general course of incon-
sistency, termed Mr.. Church "a scape
goat" Why? It suited their purpose
to do so. Now Mr.. Hawley says, II
elected governor, he will take no re-
port from subordinates but will give
all things his personal attention. In
brief, he will be the whole cheese"
Still the question suggests itself, If his
party is in sympathy with his posi-
ton, why did 1t go through the farce
of nominating men for the remaining
state offices on his ticket. Mr.. Haw-
ley's generosity is without parallel in

OF the whole bunch, he cannot be ad-
verse to saving the state the amount
OF their salary, and possibly he would
include the janitor's jon. The gener-
Jsity Of Mr.. Hawley would be almost
beyond comprehension IL a doubt did
not suggest itself. Why this doubt I?
Well, Mr.. Hawley's ground Is not evil
denced by record of having always
been terra flrma. He will flop. At the
time of its enactment, he regarded
the present local option law as "the
most pernicious legislation that had
ever been enacted" but now he poses
as one of its staunchest supporters.
Mr.. Hawley seems to be a kind of
Mr.. Hyde and DR.. Jekyl character.

be. what he will say or what he will
do. Insert an element of doubt whel.

EXTRACTS FROM SPEECHES OF
GOVERNOR JAMES III. BRADY
IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN.

Now 1 will show you the position I
take in this campaign, and the po-
sition l took the day I went into Of
flee was the position the Democratic
side should have taken. Now, with
the understanding that public Of
flee is public trust, and that man
assuming the same, be he either
Democrat or Republican, must come
before the people with record and
with the record that he has made
now let us compare these records.
You remember that Governor Nc
Connell was the first elective officer
in this state and that he served four
years until '96 and then comes Steun-

IN GOOD CONDITION.

Careful investigation will reveal the
fact that every department Of the
states business shows healthful
condition. 1t will prove, conclusively,
that the state is being successfully
financed. Mr.. Hawley assumes that
he could manage the affairs of the
cially. Now, not calling into question
his remarkable modesty, we desire to
suggest that his party made the same
assumption just before it elected its
last governor of this state. The we'll

and in addition to that your executive
has to sign personally every claim
that is allowed-26, 900 of them. Your
executive has something to do, hasn't
he?
Let me call your attention to the
fact that when I went on those
boards, as soon as I was elected, l
made up my mind that this board
didn't have the time to attend to the
Carey act proposition Here was a
new proposition that was brought
onto our state within the last 10
years, and for the benefit of only
three-fifths of the whole state; that's
what it did. And let me tell you
something about what we have done
on that board; we have had III
meetings of the land board in that
time and 103 of them were for the
purpose of transacting Carey act bus
mess. Now, don't you think that is
doing some work; and that Is work
that should not be done by your
executive at all. Let me tell you
why. When this land was segregated
1t was given to the state for the pur-
pose of being handled by the state for
the benefit of the settler, and so cents
an acre was to be allowed on that
land for us to handle in trust; after
the expense of handling these was
paid. Now, remember he said we
owned the land and got out his statute
book. to prove it; but we have that
simply in trust, this so cents an
acre; and we have no more to do with
that land than one of your trust COM
panies here. We accepted this job
and they said you can use this so
cents an acre to pay the expenses in
this work, but If you don't use up
this so cents an acre it must be turned
back to the government. That is on

Allan B. Philputt, chairman of the

the floor of the convention late this

that several sections of the report will

President Ainslee has definitely an
nounced that the convention this year
is to be a strictly delegate gathering.
In other words, any delegate who votes
on the propositions before the conven-
ton this year, must produce credentials
or keep quiet.
"I do not believe Mr.. Ainslee will
change his ruling said a delegate who
keeps informed on the important situa-
tions. when Ainslee once says some
thing must go, it generally goes; and
think that means that delegate must
produce credentials if he wants to get
in the limelight this afternoon

BALLINGER HURT. JUST z QUESTIONS
Secretary of the Interior Is
Caught in a Wreck.

Fellow Sufferer.

Cincinnati. o.. Oct. 14.-Richard A.
BaHinger, secretary of the interior, was
one of IL passengers who were more or
less seriously injured in the wreck Of
two passenger trains which met in a
head-on collision in the outskirts of
this city early last night. Secretary
Ballinger's injuries consisted of only a
severe shaking up and a slightly
bruised left arm.
The two trains in collision were No.
2, from ST. Louis, and No. IS, for Louis
vile, on the Baltimore & Ohio South
western railroad. Both were proceed
ing at the moderate rate of speed which
governs the operation of trains inside
the city limits and to this fact is due
the escape of the passengers from pos
sibly more serious consequences. OF
the injured, none will die and several
were able to be taken to their homes.
Secretary Ballinger, who was return
ing to Washington from Oklahoma,
went to a hotel where he rested for
some time. He left later for Washing
ton.
Secretary Ballinger was riding on the
sleeper and was thrown heavily against
the end of the car by the impact of the
collision. The other passengers injur-
ed were mainly in the forward coaches
of the two trains. Only three of the in
jured were taken to hospitals.
Peter OBrien, ST. Marys, KAN, knee
cut and bruised, was the only passen-
ger seriously injured. He was taken to
a hospital.

Hundreds of delegates have thus far
failed to register, but today the so
clerks at the state house booth are
buster than ever listing the names of
the visitors, due to the fact that the
newspapers have urged immediate reg
istration and that those who have not
attended to this requisite will not be
permitted to vote at the business meet
ing which takes place late today.

hunt the extreme high places of the

commodations, and there it was inn
possible to hear some of the speakers.

what was being said.

direction of Mr.. Hackleman was effec-
tive in the extreme.
Tonight a huge chorus of 500 women
will be seated in the gallery, while on
