"BRAFRALGO" SAYS
BRADY MAY Retire
FROM The RACE
Editor Caldwell Tribune:

Editor Caldwell Tribune:
The wise ones, and we are all wise
here, freely express the opinion that
Senator Brady will not be a candidate
tor the United States Senate at the
primary election. Others not so wise.
but gifted beyond the average. also
say that Burton l.. French will even
tually decide to remain in the House
oil Representatives.. Senator Brady
will not be a candidate owing to f.
nancial reverses during the last couple
OF years and also because of his en-
tanglement with the Capital News.
| MIR. French will not be candidate
because his announcement met with
such frost in all parts OF the state.
am giving these opinions of the sa
gaclous ones simply for what they
are worth. | lay no particular claim
to wisdom myself, but confess that |
would not be disappointed if neither
Brady nor French become candidates
Tor the United States senate.
The little game to which called at
tention two weeks ago which contem-
plated the early retirement of Gov
ernor Haines from politics has arous-
ed the friends of Governor Haines.
Inc Governor processes to believe
that Senator Borah is not member
OF the conspiracy but that local enc
mics are trying to make it appear that
ne Is. lie admits that Senator Borah
is unfriendly but does not expect him
to go to such lengths to accomplish
his downfall politically. The profess
SionS OF the Governor may be taken
win grain OF salt to be relishable.
II is known that John Hart, a warm
iEiend OF Governor Haines, is now at
Washington, ostensibly to appear be.
ore congressional committee on pub
lie lands. in reality TO bring Senator
| borah to his senses. A statement
from the Senator may be expected
within short time in which he will
deny knowledge of or participation in
the nti-Haines conspiracy. There ;s
no one like John Hart to lead the
Senator back to the path OF rectitude
Perkins Stirs Up Our Senator.
The mention Of Senator Borah nat.
urally suggests the Perkins Borah CON
troversy. Throughout Idaho Senator
borah is warmly admired |. myself
look upon him with the greatest re-
spect. ] believe that he IS not only
presidential possibility, but also
presidential probability. Our sympa-
thy is entirely with Senator Borah as
we believe that he is right in this con-
troyersy We know Perkins as the
leading spirit in the organization OF
me Harvester trust; a partner of I
FieTpont Morgan; and later the leader
Q! the Progressive party. In none of
MS associations has he won popular
approval or confidence. No one TO-DAY
.hlnkS that he is whit better than he
was lVe or six years ago. Notwith-
5sahoing our hig hopinion OF Senator
borah and our low estimate of Mr.
FerkinS, some of us relished the reply
81 Mr. Perkins to the Senator's Co
lumbus speech. The reader will re-
nemoer what happened to Artisides
the just. The Athenians became tired
OF nearing him called the Just. that
many OF them wished to Danish him
great many people are commencinp

uoses that our palate is no Longer
tlckied with the morsel. That Mr.
Perkins undoubtedly has the Senator
explaining. apoligizing and excusing
does not detract from the pleasure
:, Opposition to Davis.
Hon. P. M. Davis, postma ster-eIact
IS finding that the political paths NJ
glory may lead to the grave. Siren.
nous opposition has arisen tn NJ
Davis. To their infinite credit # NAV
be said that this opposition does not
come from the Nugent-Elder faction
OF the Democratic party. 1t comes
from the temperance" forces. II Is
aHeged by some of these temperance
people that at some time or other in
ms past career Mr.. Davis was not a
prohibitionist. In fact he favored the
licensed saloon. 1t is not claimed that
ne IS an incorporate man or that he
= drinks, simply that once on a time he
was an advocate of the licensed saloon
!, mere is little likelihood that the onno-
Sltion will be able to in any wav in
Jure Mr.; Davis, but an effort will be
put forth to hold up his appointment
by the president.
