Brady's Position on All State Issues
Known to the People Alos His Of
ficiai Record As Chief Executive.

The political game in all sections of
in the last three months but while
the fight for gubernatorial honors still
goes merrily on,and excitement is
still kept up, there Is a conviction in
the minds Of the people that no matter
how long the henchmen of the oppos-
ing factions keep things lively, the
nomination of Governor Brady Is
foregOne conclusion.
The O'Neil faction In the fight
has from the start made ridiculous at
tempts to blind the people by claim
ing that their candidate was the In
stigator OF all the legislation. in
Gliding the local option law passed by
the Tenth legislature and signed by
Governor Brady.
So evident Is the weakness of Mr..
O'Nedl's position and so ridiculous the
claims made by his supporters, that
even the most sanguine of his friends
realize that his case Is hopeless.
Mr.. ONeil may be strongly In favor
OF local option for every county in
the state except Shoshone but that
IT. not the only factor in the present
political contest The local option
measure was placed on the statute
books by Governor Brady and 1t will
remain there while he Is governor of
Idaho. Local option Is a dead issue,
or would be were 1t not for the liquor
| element who are spending thousands
of dollars In the vain attempt to
elect a governor and legislature In
favor of repeating the law Deny ii
how they may, this Is the aim and
object of the O'Neil faction in the
state.
The people of Idaho want to nom
mate and elect Governor Brady for a
second term not because he was in
strumental in putting the local option
law on the statute books but because
he stands for square deal for the
| people in all matters pertaining to
their financial, social and moral wei
fare. He Is in favor of framing laws
that will place the burden of taxation
where it belongs and the appointment
of commission to handle the Carey
act lads and irrigation projects.
Then again the Republicans of Ida
no are not unmindful Of the fact that
every party pledge has been re-
deemed with the sanction and approval
Of Governor Brady. No man with
the intense love OF state manifested
by Governor Brady, could be careless
or indifferent to the interests and
welfare of it's people and his every
act show. that wi4at he has done has
been do lor the material and go.
cal a ndisement of the people of
Idaho.
Governor Brady has been true TO
party and people and this reason alone
should be enough to entitle him to
second term and were 1t not for a
few special interests and a number Of
disgruntled politicians he would have
had no opposition.
The Brady opposition has had los
eyes open to the true situation Vi
the candidates since the petlt'o .
were circulated, and the rosu!t t. ut

Brady will lead By hand cine ...-
jority. OF course Mir. O'NGl will 3,
the required per cntaee OF petit

There is no means OF telling to GER
tainty just how many signatu
have been obtained for Mr.. Brad. n
Kootenai county, but II Is not now
far short of 5000 and the lists ae
still incomplete.
THE ONeil boosters know .the sit.
uation and they are resolting to al
manner of dirty and interruptions tac-
ties i'm an effort to mislead the public
as TO the true situation. Mr.. O'Neii's
