' GOVERNOR MAKES DEFENSE Controversy Results in Proposal to Cut Off Revenue of State Guard and Thus Abolish It to Stop Factional Fight. BOISE, Idaho. Dec 59. (Special.) The Brady-Lansdon controversy where in Colonel Robert Lansdon, Secretary of State of Idaho, lost his Colonelcy, Is now said to have placed the National Guard of this state In Jeopardy and a movement Is on foot to abolish It en tirely. The constant charges of Incompe tency, particularly durlna; the encamp ment at American Lake, Wash., last Summer, have resulted In an alleged effort to cut oft the revenue for the guard, thus abolishing it. Although the board of Inquiry de cided Colonel Lansdon was guilty of insubordination, he is a candidate for re-election as Colonel of the Second Infantry and It is predicted he may be elected. "Dreyfus Case," "Tls Called. This "Dreyfus" case of Idaho is a chapter in Idaho politics. For that reason and the claim made by Lansdon that he was attacked for political rea sons, the Governor has postponed the election of a Colonel from December 31 to January H, when Governor-elect .Hawlor will become chief executive. 'I do not wish to control in is mat- for. and I have ordered the Adjutant General to Dostnone the election of Colonel until January 14, 1911, Uov ernor Brady states. This places the matter beyond my control, and If the statements be true that Mr. Lansdon Is playing for time, to have the matter come before Gov- crnur-elect Hawley. this will give him ample opportunity. Partiality Is Denied. 'I have nevor discussed political matters with any member of the Ja tlonal Guard with a view of further ing my own or the Republican party's interest I believe the National Guard should he kept out of politics and that every member of the Guard should be accorded the same treatment. There wore five or sis other members or tne Guard summoned before the board for examination at the same time with Colonel Lansdon. They all appeared except one, and the same action was taken In his case as In Mr. Lansdon's, and I am wondering what the people would think of me and what tne ra fionsi Guard would think of their Commander-in-Chief, If, after the Fed eral statutes required this examina tlnn to he made. I should have dip rhareed the other one member who did not obey the orders and had per mitted Colonel Lansdon to go unmo lested." women raises a question aa to its valid ity. When the recall movement began Gill said he would raise no legal technical!' ties, and that he welcomed his oppon ents to the fray. MT.
