Alexander May be Appoint- ed U. §. Senator. In That Event Lieut.-Gov. Parker Will be Governor. Senator James H. Brady, of Idaho, died at his home in Wash- ington Sunday night from heart disease. He suffered an acute at- tack a week before while on his way to Washington from Idaho, and had been ina critical state since, The Senator’s wife and several relatives were at his bedside. His two sons, S. E. Brady, of Chand- ler, Okla., and J. Robb Brady, of Kansas, were on a train from the west trying to reach Washington in time to see their father alive, but failed. Senator Brady was born in In- diana county, Pennsylvania 56 years ago, but moved to Kansas when a boy and was educated in the Leavenworth Normal College. He taught school for three years and later engaged in newspaper work, He moved to Pocatello, Idaho, in 1894 and soon became promi- nent in Republican politics and was elected Governor in 1908. After his term expired he was elected to the Senate by the state Legislature and re-elected by the people in 1914 for seven years. The Idaho Legislature last Jan- uary, knowing of Senator Brady’s precarious health, passed an emer- gency law empowering the Gov- ernor to fill by appointment any vacancy in the office of Senator. The appointee will hold office un- til the regular election next No- vember. Governor Alexander is a Demo- crat, and is himself an aspirant for Senatorial honors, At this time there seems to be no doubt that he will resign his position at once, which will allow the govern- orship to automatically fall on the shoulders of Lieutenant Governor E. L. Parker of Cottonwood. Mr. Parker is at Boise this week attending a meeting of the State Council of Defense, and also con- sidering with Governor Alexander and other state officials the advis- ability of calling an extra session of the legislature to meet next month. This is made necessary by the war situation, which re- quires legislative action. COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, Aa ak Mei."

EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATUR Likely to be Called Soon by the Goveror. It is probable that the Four- teenth Idaho legislature will be called into session extraordinary to deal largely with war measures. “Tecan say nothing definite at this time with regard to an extra session of the legislature,” said Governor Alexander. “It is true that requests have been received by me from all parts of the state to calla session extraordinary to deal with important war emergen- cy issues that have come up since the legislature held its regular ses- sion,” At the present time Idaho is without financial arrangements to carry on the necessary prepara- tions for war that it would desire. In order to meet the expense of these war aims it is necessary to float certificates of indebtedness which the banks have consented to take up and hold until the leg- islature can redeem them. While this is allowed,by law in an emergency it is not considered to be the proper arrangement or good business, Many believe that a special legislative appro- deeply appreciative of the patron-| age received during the past year and take this opportunity of as- suring their customers and friends that it will be the aim of the management at all times to ren- der such service as to merit the business entrusted to it. ee cane The card party given Tuesday night in the I. O. O. F. hall was well attended and a very pleasant evening was spent in playing games and partaking of refresh- ments.
