The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1914-10-16

ming Tuesday evening, Senator
Brady being the particular bright
and shining star.
The meeting was held at the
high school auditorium and was
we'll attended a large number of
ladies being in the audience.
The senator was accompanied
by Captain Davis, the godfather
and sponsor of the present state
administration, and a number of
the candidates on the republican
county ticket.
Mr. Brady has improved as a
speaker since his last campaign
and has developed an artistic
peddler of hot air. He dovOtedso
much time in telling what beau
tiful city we have, how much it
has improved, how intelligent the
people were and the pleasure that
it gave him to address them that
the audience began TO grow inn
patient and wonder if he was not
going to have anything to say.
The people of this city should
and without doubt do feel highly
fattered at being told by him that
hey and their affairs are of so
much Importance and their mat
ters at Washington are so large
and the letters which he receives
in regard to them are so numer-
ols that he has to keep a special
file for them marked "St. Maries'
and has to employ an extra clerk
besides the one furnished by the
government (and pay him out of
his own pocket) to look after
them and to take dictation in re-
gard to them.
When he informs us that he
gets up at half past six in the
morning and labors from that
time until six o'clock in the even
ing and sometimes until way long
into the night for the people of
st. Maries and incidentally,
suppose, the people of the bal
ance of the state takes some OF
his time, although he did not say
so, and when we remember his
generosity in going down into
his own pocket to pay a clerk
TO assist him in working for US,
our hearts go out to him in
gratitude and devotion
When he informs us that he
he has but one ambition in life
and that is to do great things for
my people," and when we un-
derstand that we of st. Maries are
the my people," that it is the
people of st. Maries that he has
taken especially under the pro-
lection of his wing, our admira-
ton for his generosity and our
love for him passes all bounds.
When he pictured to us in such
pathetic terms, himself as a poor
barefootc6 boy back on the old
farm in the east, plodding along
in the hot sun behind the plow,
it almost brought tears to our
eyes, and when he told how, up
OF being given a short respite by
his father, he sought the shade
of a tree to dream of the time
and plan how he would do great
things for his people as COVER
nor and senator, the old saying
the boy is father to the man.
was brought to our mind.
Mr.. Brady, as a further illus
lration Of his love for the people
and his desire TO do great things
for them, modestly told how
when he had failed TO secure
more than a paltry twelve hun
dred from the United States gov
ernment for agricultural ex-
tension in this state, he gener-
ously donated three Thousand
dollars from his own pocket fol
the purpose.
This trait in Mr.. Brady can no
help but cndear him to the peo-
pie who cannot help but admire
rot only his generosity, but hi.
modest way Of telling about it.
The political part of Mr.
Brady's speech was somewha
disappointing, coming from
