tie further. He organized an an
ti-Brady caucus from the south
or anyway one was organized,
and the southerners and the
northerners "agin" Brady got
together. Hart proposed tina
Ailshie and Brady, both be drop
ped and that there be a general
caucus of the republican members
and the choice of the caucus be
the senator. 1t never got that
far. To break Brady IS back Hart
played another card. He went to
the Brady forces and proposed
that if Brady could secure enough
votes without his six for this six
to elect Brady, they would be
Forthcoming. If Brady could not
make the grade that meant a gen
eral caucus and the dropping of
Brady. Brady had told some of
his friends that the scheme was
to beat Ailshie and then to beat
Brady and elect a southern sena-
tor. And Ed. Dewey of Nampa
opened headquarters and his light
ming rod could be seen sticking
out the roof of the Owyhee from
all the hills around. The double
barrelled anti-Brady caucus was
voting for a long list of favorite
sons headed by Babb, but leaning
some said, toward the dope which
meant Dewey or perhaps Hart.
Then too in the confusion some
wanted to elect Haines and make
Hermie Taylor governor. There
was lightning rod every few
steps and the embyro statesmen
who would go to Washington
for two years as United States
senator, could be found by con-
sulting the hotel registers. Gov
ernor Haines put a stop to the
Haines dope speedily by a state
ment that he was elected governor
and not senator and he intended
to stick with the job the people
had chosen him for.
Senator Hunt sat back and re-
ceived the final proposal of Sena-
tor Hart with grim satisfaction.
He was as agreeable as a spider
for fly. He would show Senator
Hart that the man from Fremont
had overplayed his hand when he
offered to come to Brady when
he thought Brady could not make
it and thus would have the Brady
forces at his mercy. On Thursday
Brady had dropped to Al votes
and the wise ones said he was
"all in" 1t was an all night pull
but in the morning it was an
nounced that Brady had "come
back" and that he had SO votes
signed and ready for use that day
Hart was as good as his word
and when the joint session met
at noon he gracefully delivered
his six votes and put Brady over
the line with one to spare. Defen-
bach was one of the earliest to sigI
up for Brady. Hanson of Sho-
shone and Representative Sargent
of Kootenai of the north also vot.
ed for him. Without these three
northern votes Brady would have
lacked one that Friday noon and
his day would have arrived and
passed and there would have beer
darkhorse" senator.
1t was noticeable that the Who'll,
fifteen Mormons in house and sen
ate had voted for Brady. Wher
Hart came in he came in right anG
with Hunts vote it meant the
whole Mormon vote. Hart anC
Hunt had met at the end of thu
: lane and when they met it meant
just what the vote showed. Har
did not gig" or sidestep. Th'
Mormons play the game fair.
You can't tell Charley Beal,
