81. Maries, Ida, Oct. l3.-Govern-

strongest and most forceful political
addresses that has ever been delivered

against his administration. He
stated that the Democrats were max.
ing Charges against the state land
board for the purpose OF binding the
eyes OF the people to the real issues,
which, he stated, were progressive
hepublicaDism and temperance, and
that they are assailing the land board
because they know that the state of
ldano is overwhelmingly in favor Of
the Republican party's position on
the temperance question.
A large audience greeted the GOV

Governor Brady said In part: II
come before you tonight to render an
account of my stewardship, and in
this accounting l have no apologies
to make, nothing to conceal, and no
wrong act to defend. Ny Democratic
friends make no charge against my
administration, of frauds or scandal
in the university, our normal schools,
our academy, our asylums, our reform
school, or our penitentiary, or in fact
10 any department Of state, and it
will therefore only be necessary for
me to answer the charges that they
have made against my administration.
