SPEECH OF ". ]. PENROSE.


Mr.. W. J. Penrose, OF the Centrevilie Min
ing Journal, made a rattling speech at
Marysville last Saturday night. After Del
egate Tools had addressed the vast assem-
blage gathered to bear him, Per" mounted
the stand and proceeded to barbecue San
ders a la Race Track. He did it in mag
nifccnt style and drought down the
house"-which, by the way, was a ten acre
lot filed with eager listeners. In the course
OF his remarks Mr.. Penrose referred to the
Timberline rules and regulations and after
| reading them added:

We say that our grievance will never be
settled until this giant acknowleds es that
we, as poor Woodworking men. have rights
that even it must respect, ana to do our
share toward that end we will defeat Col.
Sanders and elect oseph K. Toole. (Cheers.)
In speaking Of the silly attempts of GER
tain Republican journals to make political
capital for their candidates out of the sup
port Mr.. Toole is receiving, Mr.. Penrose
said:
The daily Republican paper at Butte OBJ
jerts to TooIe because Governor Hauser.
w. A. Clark, T. Cruise, Col. Broadwater, A.
j. Davis and other rich men are support
ing him. Suppose if they are. Let us COM
pare those men to the rich corporation
that is supporting Col. Sanders-the North
ern Pacific Coal Company. Whoever heard
OF w. A. Clark asking either one of the $50
men he has directly in his employ in Silver
Bow County to go to a store owned by
Tim to a their goods and pay 20 per
cent. more for Their! han they would have
TO pay anywhere else. Nobody ever did,
but Colonel Sanders company does it.
Does Gov.H auser build q saloon at his
mines. make his men patropize it and then
fine them IS if they drink a little too much?
Voices, no, no No, OF course he Doesn't;
but Col. Sanders company does. Does Uncle
Tommy Cruise make his men DAY $3.50 q
month to a quack doctor for medical at
tendance, and when a little baby stranger
appears in the house of one of the miners
fees the man SIS? [Chorus of voices, no,
Uncle Tommy wouldn't do it'll No, but
Col. Sanders Coal Company does. Does A.
j. Davis make his men wait invent v-fve
days after they have earned their months
wages and then charge them 5 per cent. for
cashing their checks? Voices of, we never
heard Of it'll No, but Col. Sanders Coal
Company does. Does Col. Broadwater or
Marcus DAILY compel their meu to 20 to a

skunk. Laughter and %applause.l
Now, what are we going to do about it?
1t has been said that Sanders is going to |
resign his position as attorney and agent
Of the Northern Pacific Coal Company. Do
you believe it? Voice, no, MOL Why
he do it now? Voice, because he |
intend to.J Why ia it that all

where there were formerly but two men at
work. now there are eight or ten? Because
they are put to work to assist in the cleo
ton OF the coinpany's agent and attorney.
Why. is it that Col. Sanders is carried

Northern Pacific Company has no interest

friends, in spite of the fact that this
great corporation has donated $50, 900 to
secure the election OF their man; in spite of
The fact that they have got the shrewdest
