| TIC lcdulHS men from all sections o.
Idaho, a review of the political stu
alton as it looks OF this time viii
probably be of interest. While the
primary election is still some months
distant, candidates are already com.
ing out into the open FOR the more
important offices, and sentiment has
already crystalized to large extent
around some Of the candidates.
Brady for Congress
While as yet former Governor Bra
| dy of Pocatello, has made no an
nouncement on the subject, there is
undoubtedly very strong sentiment
Tor him as the second representative
OF Idaho in the national legislature.
Mr.. Brady has proven himself to be
big man in every Respect. EIe wor- ,
increasingly for the welfare of Idaho,
whether IN or out of office, and the
people have come to recognize in him
man OF great purpose, and that pur-
pose is to upbuild Idaho and make of
her the most prosperous and the best
OF the sisterhood of states.
Mr.. Brady has gained, through the
various large enterprises with which
he has been associated and through
his public life here in Idaho, an ex-
tensiVe acquaintance with all the big
men of the country, and he is in a
position to accomplish more good for
Idaho in the national congress than
any other one man. He has a habit
OF getting things for Idaho when he
starts out to get them, and this will
prove true in his congressional career
as we'll as it has in the past. Prom
1nent men from all parts of the state
have expressed hope that Mr.. Brady
will be candidate, and he will be
nominated and elected.
Our present member of congress.
Burton L. French will undoubtedly
be the other nominee on the Republi-
can ticket.
Haines for Governor
The chief interest of the campaign, /
however, centers around the candi- |
date for the gubernatorial chair. On |
the Republican side of the fence there
have been many candidates for this
high honor, but already the expressed
sentiment of the leaders has eliminat-
ed many budding candidates, and
sentiment is crystalzing around three
Or four, whose names will probably
appear on the primary ballot. The
strongest of these, as near as we can
'scertain, is former Mayor John M.
1aines of Boise.
Both Democrats and Republicans
It Boise are banked solidly behind
Ar. Haines, and are urging him to
inter- the race for the governship.
