ASKS CHANDLER TO
EXPLAIN

OoAdtor leluS OF Latah county,
who is also editor of the Moscow
Post, has made statement that
James H. Brady secured his cleo
ton to the U. S. senate through
the lavish expenditure of money.
And this open charge has been
given little or no attention by
the Brady supporters, Mr.. Brady
alone entering a feeble denial.
Representative Chandler of Orc
fino, editor of the Clearwater Re-
publican, was the first northern
man to enter the Brady camp
during the senatorial battle. Mr..
Chandler ought to be in a position
to know whether or not Brady
money was freely used in that
memorable contest. Not a single
Brady supporter has even at
tempted to refute the charge
made by the Moscow man. WhyY
Did Fields call the turn, or is his
statement untrue? If the latter,
he should be placed on the carpet
and made to explain. If we were
in Chambers place, and knew,
or even thought, that Brady did
not secure his election through a
lavish use of the "long green"
the Moscow editor would have
had row on his hands immediate
~ after he made that charge
against the new senator. We have
waited in vain for someone who
worked and voted for Brandy to
take this matter up, and fully. ex-
pected to hear from Mr.. Chandler.
Wesafe surprised beyond measure
at this silence on the part of those
whosvoted for the man who stands
accasSd Of attaining high honor
through the unlawful use Of
monsy. -Kooskias Nfountaineer.
Yes, Chandler, after the first
preliminary vote or two for Beale,
voted for Brady in season and out,
but Brady could have been cleo
ted finally without Chandler's
vote, but Fields openly admits
that Brady could not have been
elected without the support he
received from him and the rest
of the Latah county delegation.
Fields and the Latah county
bunch did not vote directly for
Brady, but they boast of the fact
that they prevented northern
man from being elected over him.
It doesn't necessarily follow that
you always help man most by
supporting him openly; it will
not always do, you know, and
when it will not, any old excuse,
even the absurd, proposition of ad-
vancing congressman just cleo
ted by the generous vote of the
people, to the position of U. S.
senator at an unnecessary cost
of over 100000 to those same
people, (if congressman is sell
fish enough, and ambitious enough
and ungrateful enough to allow
his name to be used to assist III
defeating a man who befrlended
him, when he needed friends bad
ly) will answer well enough. Any
old pretext will do when a mar
is looking for an excuse for do
ing a questionable act. Now il
Fields and his bunch elected
Brady (and it is charged by
others, and admitted by then
that they did) they must hay'
expected reward of some kint
for so doing, and they ar
entitled to it for they earned II
Where would such reward ma
turally be expected to come from
Fields made the public charg
that Brady was elected by tn
free use of money; but he stop
ped right there without producin
any evidence, and has closed u
like a clam on all that pertain
to the senatorial election or an,
other, legislative acts, although h
boosted for weeks what he II
tended doing in the way OF expos
ing things corrupt. Had Field
been bought outright, would h
pursued any other course tina
the one he has--make a grand
stand play and then subsideY o
