"BRAFRALGO" SAYS
AILSHIE HAS TO
STICK Ii OUT
Editor Caldwell Tribune :

winch Will DC ATTENDED by the leading
Republicans of Idaho is looked for
ward to by all the politicians. The
indications are that this banquet will
be a record breaker in point of at
tendance. President f. G. Davis and
Secretary ]. r. Stotts have received
word from Republicans in all parts of
the state, all of them indicating inter-
est and enthusiasm On this date all
uncertainty as to the candidacy of
Judge James F. Ailshie for the. I'm
tied States senate will be set at rest.
A number of politicians have tried to
create the impression that Judge ALL
SHE will never announce his candi-
dacy. AS matter OF fact it is known
to Judge Ailshie and his warmest
friends that he cannot now withdraw
unless he has made up his mind to
lay aside all senatorial ambitions for
all time to come. In case he should
lay down at this time he will never
be able to again enlist a corporaPs
gard in a campaign for the senate

alienated thousands of Republicans
throughout the state. The recent
mortgages filed which eliminate the
Capital News securities from the list
in no wise satisfy the people. They
are convinced that Senator Brady con-
trolls the paper as effectually as he
= &c
that at the time of the original loan
when Senator Brady first advanced
mpney-that Mr. c. o. Broxon, at that
time the publisher of newspaper at
Pocatello, was sent to Boise to look
after the interests OF Mr.. Brady. Mr..
Broxon was at that time a Democrat
but he was also submissive to reason.
Mr.. Broxon is still the managing edi-
tor of the News, although at this time
Progressive. With the loss that nat
urally followed the Brady-Capital
News disclosures Brady's chances of
reelection to the senate were greatly
reduced. The real fight is between
former Governor Gooding and Judge
Ailshie and it will be but few months
until this will be evident to all. Judge
Ailshie will have the prestige of years
of faithful service on the bench and a
reputation for splendid ability. So
will Goodihg. In fact, in the point of
public service, ability and honesty of
purpose the two men are on an equal
ity in the opinion of people general
ly. Ailshie will have the advantage
that he comes from north Idaho
Gooding that he apparently has great
er force and courage This reminds
me of statement made months ago
in the editorial columns of The Trib-
une to the effect that this is a good
year for lame ducks and weak sisters
to remain at home.
Disloyalty to Haines.
Thus far no candidate has offered
himself in opposition to Governor
Hanies for denomination. Governor
Haines must have made good to an ex-
tent greater than is generally ac-
knowledged because with disloyalty
and ingratitude on the part of at least
two members of his official family OPP

was some time ago summary remov-
ed for pernicious political activity.
Many have wondered why the same
thing has not happened to State Came
to be either a member of the public
commissioner. He was disappointed
and while holding the office of game
warden has indirectly attempted to dis.
credit the administration. Probably
Governor Haines feels that the efforts
OF Warden Barber are doing him nc
injury.
The action taken by Governor
Haines in the jolly case met with pub
lie approval. The people general,
have little sympathy with disloyalty
and ingratitude, however personihed
While opposition to Governor
HaineS has not succeeded to a point
where any person has felt justified il
announcing his candidacy, there is
feeling that il Haines is to have op,
