HOW BRADY WAS
PUT OVER

Inc senatorial election was
pretty fight between Senator Hunt
of Bear Lake and Senator Hart
OF Fremont, as near as l could
read the signs. The drama was
either in earnest or was well
staged. There is no doubt in
James III. Brady's mind that it
was no play and that the two
leaders in the southeast are dead
ly In earnest in their fight for
supremacy in their own country.
Senator Hunt won the fight and
does not deny that he put Brady
over partly because he wanted
him to be senator and partly to
reintaste himself as the real lead
er in the Land that lies so near
the Utah line. 1t is said that
Hunt was feeling a little peeved
because when the politicians went
to the southeast for help they
talked with Senator Hart and Pet
er johnson of Bingham county
and thought everything "fixed"
by their dictum. Hunt had been
two times speaker of the house
and it was a little CALLING for
him to hear them say go see
Hart when it had once been
go see Hunt The fox from the
southeasternmost county thought
it good opportunity to show the
wiseacres he was still alive and
was yet to be reckoned with. So
Hunt took Brady, and Hart the
field, and the big men in Mormon
dom went to it. Hart was os-
tensibly for former Congressman
Hamer of st. Anthony, but it
didn't last long.
The north caucused and finally
in the northern caucus Shoshone
gave up Charley Beale and Nez
Perez abandoned it's favOrite son,
Babb. All in the north united
for Ailshie, except Latah county
The delegation which comes from
the seat of state learning stood
aloof. Senator Fields announced
he was neither for Ailshie nor
Brady and that it would have to
be a new man entirely Fields
was labored with in vain. Mos
COW citizens came and he received
a multitude of kilograms from
home ito get in with the north. .
But Fields was obdurate. Cong
ressman French was appealed to
by Ailshies friends but he refused
to interfere with his home dele
CATION and Ailshie will hold
French to account for his loss OF
the Senatorship for he firmly be
lieves it was French's ambition
to be the senator two years hence
that kept him from going to All
she's rescue.
Senator Hart tried hard wher
it was evident that Ailshie coult
get only in striking distance, t.
make medicine through the Brady
forces. He went to Brady ont
day in the voting and made al
impassioned appeal to "breal
the deadlock. - But it was not
icable that his was the only vot'
from the Fremont delegation
for Brady 1t was said by tn
wise ones that the Hart vot'
would come to Brady next day
that they were hitched" but i
would not do for them to go in
bunch for the sake of the look
of things. But they never ar
rived in full force. From day t
day the scattering vote would g
and come to the two leaders, blu
the goal
The northerners continued t
caucus at night and came oui
after discussing the merits o
favorite sons, with Ailshie--all bu
the Latah bunch, which contlr
ued to dampen the ardor of tn
Ailshie camp. And Senator DE-
fenbach also fitted some an
came in for roast from the cat
Gus for not staying put. Gee
Fields appeared occasionally /
caucus and made remarks abou
freedom and self stultificatio
and otherwise cast asparagus an
aspersions over the place, niue
