and large number Of ladies' were In

companied to Wallace by George A.

central committee, and state Senator
d. w. Davis of American Falls. Both

State School Funds.
State Chairman Day chances TO De
the state land commissioner also and
his remarks were devoted mainly to a
review of the work of the state land
board, with every detail Of which he Is
familiar. Instead of the interests OF
the people being jeopardized and the
public funds being loaned to offcers
and employees Of the state without in
terest or security, as has been charged
by democratic and progressive speak
ers. Mr.. Day gave the figures from the
record to show that the interests OF the
people were being protected, that the
state school funds were being loaned
to the best possible advantage, ano
that not one dollar had ever been lost
through bad loans or failure to col
lect interest,
Business Of the State.
Mr.. Day was followed by State Sen
ator Davis, a trained business man
who has given much attention to the
business affairs of the state. he re-
viewed briefly all the departments OF
the state government, quoting ngures
from the records which can be easily
verified, and showed that every branch
of the system was not only being con-
Quoted in a thoroughly business-like
manner but that actual economies
had been practiced which established
a new record in the state house ant
which made it possible to greatly re-
duce the tax levy for the support o.
the state. Mr. Davis, as did also MI
nav referred to the claim mace p9
Moses Alexander, the democratic can
didate for governor, that If elected NJ
would make a complete cleanup OF
the state house. beginning in tnf
basement and that when ne go
through he would effect saving or
million dollars year to the people
AS the estimated cost of running the
state government next year IS Only
5000. 900, the absurdity Of Mr.. Alexan'
,der's assertion is apparent
Brady Gets Ovation.
The brief Introductory from Cha'r'
man Rossi brought an ovation 10 sen
ator Brady. He bowed his apprecia'
t,on Of the enthusiastic reception, ant
at once proceeded to the discussion o.
those matters in which the people O.
the state of Idaho are most deepi!
concerned. Senator Brady makes NJ
nretentions in the matter OF oratory
but when II comes to grasping the sa
lent points Of legislative PROPOSE
ton and giving it business applica
.tion. and explaining in clear and force
f,1 language where 1t touches the peo
ple and how, he Is there with the bes
Iof them. His discussion of the tarif
was given a local application, showini
how the carrying to its ultimate EN-
the democratic theory Of free trad
would result in closing every Leaf
mine In Idaho.
His discussion of the new currenc
law placed it In a new light to mos
of his hearers. He said there was n

and careful investigation Of the bill
