The people Of Idaho undoubtedl,
will hesitate at the primaries mex
August to sacrifice the splendid posi-
ton which the state has obtained IN
he upper house of congress In Sen
sfor Brady's remarkable advance
ment to high places on good commit
tess.
Senator James II. Brady was elected
20 the United States senate by the
legislature OF Idaho on January "a,
1913, and although this has given him
a service of less than a year and a
half. he occupies a position on com
nittees equally advantageous to that
OF a aenator Of four years service, or
ven better. He took the path OF Of
ice on February 4, 1913, just one
month before the new administration
came into power. He was awarded
important committee assign
nents than ordinarily fall to a new
senator, but when the new
rame In on March 4. 1918. he held the
lnique position. after only one months
l~ervice. of seniority over twenty-five
other senator's.
In assigning Senator Brady to COM
mittee places, his peculiar fitness for
important work was considered in the
light of his success Ia business and
is experience as governor OF Idaho.
ftswas this previous record of expert
nce that brought to him membership
On committees which many another
senAtor would be content to attain af-
sr M years Of service.
sipce he took his seat. 1--WE mem
bers OF the senate have died, thus Civ
ng him rank over a total of twenty
seven senator's. and with the changes
hat VIII take place as the result of

Brady win, II reelected. doubtless rank
more than one-half OF his fellow sena-
'ors IN the next congress. Aside from
he fact that this seniority would then
entitle him to much better committee
places than he already holds, or than

Idaho might send in his place could

hope to attain. he would In the regu-
lar course move higher on his present
good committees.
The advantage that Senator Brady
holds. can be better appreciated when
1t is understood hat practically every
piece OF legislation hat is taken up 10
the senate, is first shaped in com
mitfee where IL is subjected Il the
most careful construction and rigid
analysis.
The people of Idaho, from the first
days Of statehood, have displayed~s.
most wonderful power of d~iscernment
in choosing their senators. Theyshave
always chosen men who stood in the
front rank OF craftsmanship and oc-
cupied top places in la~wmaking. Know
ing In the first instance how to pick
a good senator, 1t goes without saying
that they appreciate fhe wisdom of
keeping him in office after he has
shown the ability to serve we'll and the
sincerity to support right measures.
Senator Brady. by Dis years Of resi-
dence I'm the state and his experience
as governor. thoroughly understands
the wishes Of the people of Idaho and
Is responsive to their needs. He is
seeking a denomination on his record
OF which he has reason to be proud
because It is a record OF earnest
achievement and close application to
the business of the people who elected
him, and is so much more than the
average senator can show for such a
comparatively short term of service.
He knows the work, he has acquainted
himself with the administrative heads
In Washington with which the peo-
pies business is transacted, and, II re-
elected will continue to serve the state
In the same efficient manner, not be-
ing compelled, as would be a new man,
to take months. or perhaps years, to
learn how things are done
Senator Brady can very safely lay
his record before the voters of the
state and remain In Washington at
tending t his business in the senate
until congress adjourns. as he has an
nounced he viii do. The people can
be trusted to indorse his good work oD
