his denomination for senator on
he republican ticket by the use
of money is a fact that is being
openly charged and is admitted
by many republicans and has not
been denied by Brady himself.
Ex-Governor Gooding, in an in
terview at HALEY a few days ago,
charged that Brady spent one
hundred thousand dollars in his
preliminary campaign and it is
a we'll known fact that he owns
or controls a majority of the re
publican newspapers in the state
and it is upon their ability to
mold public sentiment i'm his ia
vor and the personal efforts of
hired workers that he depends to
secure his election.
That he is entirely without
ability or influence at Washing
ton is a we'll known fact and is
admitted by practically everyone,
including himself. He is salts
fer to remain an insignificant
figure as he has announced that
he intended to follow Borah i'm
all his votes. He is satisfl9l to-
remain, what he is, an insigniii-
cant factor, a mere tail to BOr-
abs kite and o give him two votes
instead of one.
Prominent men from thtis state
who have visited Washington say
that he is laughing stock in the
senate and has absolutely no in
fuence among his colleagues, as
he certainly has none with the
administration or in the depart
nents.
His claim that he secured their
lands to the Marble Greek sett-
lers is pure rot and Of the simpl-
est kind. This was entirely the
act of Secretary Lane and Brady
has absolutely no influence with
him whatever.
Ex-Governor Hawley, who is a
personal friend of Secretary Lane
succeeded in interesting him in
the matter. He went into tn,
cases thoroughly, became con
WINGED of the justice of the settl-
er's claims and the result wa
that in one year under a demo.
cratic administration and with ;
democrats secretary of the IN.
terror, the Marble Greek settlers
secured rights that they had beer
unsuccessfully cOntending fo
during eight long years of repub
lican rule.
When this was accomplished
Brady, who is not troubled wis
false modesty, put himself i
communication with the news
papers which he controls and tn
settlers saying, See the grea
things that I have done. l go
your land for you. Give IN
your votes" A great many of tn
settlers and their friends believe
these statements although if the
had stopped to think for a mo
T1ent they would have known tina
even if Brady had the ability
which he has not, he could hav
very little influence with a demo
cratic administration and a dem
ocratic secretary of the interior.
The fact is that the action i
the Marble Greek cases is Onl
