Senator Brady will begin an active campaign within a
few days, in northern Idaho. He will be the strongest
factor within the party in promoting Republican success.
The record he has made during his short service in the
senate is an enviable one, and has made him friends in all
parties. He is the business man of Idaho's delegation and
is able to grasp the business matters that come before
the senate with a clearness of vision that makes him a
valuable member. There is no doubt of his election.

Papers of the state are calling the attention OF their
readers to the desirability of citing the non-partiSar jul
dicial ticket before they start in to mark the rest Of their
ballot, fearing that it may be overlooked on account of
the size of the ballot. The non-partsan judicial ticket will
be found on the extreme right of the ballet. The recent
death of Justice Stewart may mean that two members Of
the court will have to be elected.

With a tax levy lower than three-fourths of the coun-

happy. Except for the things which new counties must
provide our tax rate would be as low as any of the old

The state pure food department has been purified by
having its head removed for gross irregularities, it is said.
The worst criticism that can be leveled at the administra-

taken was so long delayed.
