The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1910-11-24


Globe has added three other com
ments, one of which is from the
Statesman itself. All are taken
from the republican papers under the
unwritten law which comedies the
right of telling "how it was done"
to the fellow who gets slicked. The
Statesman says:
Explanations OF the vote on gov
snor In this state continue to occupy
the editorial columns. 1t is of more
than passing interest to continue
them. A great variety of reasons
is presented, but these four in the
order named seem to be given pref
eIence.
Railroad commission.
Bad weather.
"Wet" or dry"
National landslide.
The govenor lost heavily on ac-
count of his party's platform declara-
ton for a railway commission, with
out any fight being made for it in the
field to possibly offset the known OPP
position. The weather cost the gov
enor any number of votes. The
"wets" went against him almost
unitedly while the 'drys" did not
stand pat as had been expected.
The Idaho Falls Register records
its views on the situation in the fol-
lowing manner:
Governor Brady occupied try
ing position, the burden of all
the errors of all the state boards
of which he is a member being
heaped on his shoulders. making
weight too heavy for any one
man to carry. Other elements
entered into his defeat The rail
roads are opposed to the railway
commission, as are the majority
of the people. This fact assisted
materially in carrying Pocatello.
Brady's home town, against him.
The wet element almost to a
voter were against him VIII CHI is
another considerable element.
These facts coupled with what
ever disgruntled elements there
may have been proved too
much
One of the greatest surprises
Was the heavy vote cast for
Hawley in the southeast, which
was conceded to Brady, all of
which goes to prove that pred
lotions and forecasts are not In
fallible.
From the Lewiston Teller comes
new reason-B. F. O'Neil. That pape
charges a lot of it up to Barney i
this way:
/. Every single O'Neil county in
the state of Idaho. IL you please,
: voted against .Jaames H. Brady
and for James H. Hawley and
!, O'Neils home county gave Haw-
ley majority OF 800 votes.
: O'Neil ostensibly on some busi-
! ness pretext left the state, turn
ing the reins of his organization
: over to Bob Landson who openly
supported the Democratic nomir
nee. At the same time he wrote
.. letter urging mildly that the
= Republicans support the ticket.
! Mr.. O'Neil's action In
|. the present campaign we believe
a. plainly eliminates him from the
n gubernatorial nomination two
e years hence. He has not, we
\. think, played square with his
4. party, and any man who has done
q as he has done Is not entitled to
a. the consideration of the people
70 of this state.
The Nampa Leader-Herald Civ
the liquor issue as the one havh
lie most bearing Analysing the case
re this manner
The wet" and dry" issue had
ke considerable bearing ON the cleo
IN ton. There were many wet"
Ia Republicans who voted for Haw-
la ley, while there we're few II any
81 dry" Democrats who voted for
re Brady. 1t seemed that the liquor
IL plank In the democratic platform
a was perfectly satisfactory to the
dry element of the democratic
party, and at the same time was
u attractive to the "wets" of that
re party and the Republican party
OF too
o. It is said that Brady lost the
re railroad vote at Pocatello and
es other points in the state. This Il
in alleged to be due to objection to
Id the railroad commission plank Of
re- the Republican platform.
Sc Then there we're charges OF ex
travagance against the Brady ad
ministration, although the effect
US of these was slight. because the
on state records showed conclusivel,
ie, the administration to be one Of
ny the most business-like and pros
