&c GUT CLEAN POLITICS.

ANY ,here was published stimuli
hee IN the papers throughout the
tane0's hitch have been opposing the
ss,aacy Of Judge Aiishie Tor I. ;.
s,or statement under Lewiston
,,rnorting TO be an interview with
o. Ailshie, at the close of the su-
suue court session at Lewiston in
is ,e in which it was stated that the
hnND' 5onounced Senator Borah as a
'uus amer, and declared that he had
little for his state, and also rip
"a into Brady and French.
pm. act accredited to Judge Ailshie
unlike him, and the statements
"'s .anseless and impolitic that his
,s,ends here at once branded 1t as a
- interview" manufactured by "a
..s,a,n well known political montebank
! Iawiston for the purpose of injuring
Judge or else was manufactured
"a nublished by the newspapers using
!. with malicious intent, and with the
ali formed purpose of manufacturing
..,erial with which to besmirch the
-,on against whom they could legiti-
..ts,v find nothing of questionable
character to charge.
I, has since proven that this conciu-
.,on was well founded. In telephone
-.assare last week Judge Ailshie de-
ro,nced the purported interview as
any fake. Manufactured from the whole
.lotb by some malicious person or per-
sons II is presumed that the Judge
.,,, make answer to this libellous ar
t,cle In his own way.
However this shows something of the
MAN mapped out by the papers and men
rho are opposing Judge Ailshie in the
interest of another candidate. This Is
certainly what might be denominated
.dirty politics. To take reputable
citizen and public officer like Senator
through gross Misrepresentation and
then Law the act onto another honorable
and innocent citizen and send such
false and libellous charge broadcast
oyer the land, is certainly going to
some length to gain a political advant-
axe and to secure an office the quail
fcatons for which are supposed to
rest upon the honor, manhood and cap
ability of the aspirant
As two of the papers which have
pedded this malicious and libellous ar
tce. the Boise Capital News and the
Pocatello Tribune, are strong supporters
Of Senator Brady, and have been in
dulging all along in covert insinuations
and slurring remarks directed toward
Judge Ailshie, it is but natural that the
Judges friends should credit this up to
Mr. Brady Yet no retort of like char
acter has been made. Whether Mr..
Brady has directly inspired such action
or not, it doesn't look good. and the
Globe would have judged him to be too
wise politician to permit this kind of
campaigning to be carried too far, I'M
der existing circumstances. But as Mr. |
Brady is the beneficiary of the efforts
Of those papers, II there can be any |
benefits coming from such action. he
will also have to accept the adverse re-
suits II this desperate and disreputable |
course is continued; and 1t is believed |
that Mr.. Brady Is not placed in the most
desirable position for doing this. Such |
reprehensibe action cannot be too
strongly rebuked by all those who are
looking for and expecting decent pro- |
cedure even in a political campaign and
believe in fair and open contest The |
Globe In the past has always been kind
y disposed toward Mr.. Brady, but it
Is quite certain that he is not an in
vulnerable candidate, and this persistent
bidding on the part of his press for
dirty campaign should be looked into
by him before it is too late to draw
back
