Pat Talent, being present, wa called
upon to discuss the principles Of the gov
erDment while under Republican rule. He
remarked thas in those days the slavery
question was the great issue. There were
no great strikes or anarchists in those
days. Labor troubles and corporations
are the outerowth Of Republican rule. To
monopolize had ever been the business of
Republican administrations. 1t 10 no ex-
aggeration to say that under Republican
administrations literal empires had been
given away to corporations. He com-
pared our free institutions with those OF
Europe, with compliments to the former.
We select our men to make laws fer us. We
are now called upon to select men
to represent and l~egislate for us. Will
you vote for those who 1egislate for mon
Opolists and corporations or for the peo.
pie. The old know-nothings are now q
pant and parcel Of the Republican party
cur judges have heretofore been imported
from the east and We have had to educate
them to enforce our laws. Montana must
be a State and when this glorious day ar
rives Montana should be clean. Therefore
the election OF Joseph K. Toole is especi-
ally DESTROYS at this time.
Charles Booth remarked that If he lived
long enough he would certainly overcome
the chief objection of the Republicans that
he was too young Tor SO responsible a posi-
ton. He said he is growing older every
day. As deputy clerk he felt he had gained
Information and valuable experience and
felt that he vas at least as eligible to the
place OF his principal as q man who might
be inexperienced.
tt. Booher remarked that he was pres.
emit not only to request support of the
county ticket but for the candidate for
Delegate, J. K. Toole. Compare this mans
record with hat of the agent of the
company at Timberline that refused to sell
necessities to bury decently the child of one
OF the locked-out miners. Take your choice
as men, and if you desire 10 remain ip bond
age to such rule, vote for Sanders and put
your neck in the yoke. If You wish t. re-
main free, vote for the peoples can.
didate. J.. K. Toole. My record is open
to your inspection, he remarked, and any
thing said derogatory thereto as to nv
neglecting to fulfill the requirements OF my
position are base fabrications. He closed
with bis usual currying down of Professor
Newill.
Frank Murray spoke in favor of the to be
Assessor, Brann, who was absent, and of
other candidates on the county ticket. He
remarked that while he was a true Demo-
craft, his principles were of such q nature
that he was willing to receive Republican
votes with a good grace.
A. Il. Barret made q brief speech and
read some papers in reference to license
that had been made by his oppo
nent.
A. V. Cory, candidate for Public Admin
remarked that the candidates on
the Democratic ticket we're men who had
faithfully csred for their own business in
the various walks of life and might be
safely trusted to care for the business OF
the people.
Mr.. Edwards being loudly called for
forward and remarked: Il am not
q candidate for any Office. l am the great
Mormon Edwards, and probably
the only one with nineteen wives that goes
scot free" He made a strong appeal tn
voters to select good men. The Republican
parties killed in conflicts with the
party. In 1912 we bucked
them, in 1852 we poked them and in 1856
them. The taxing of miners on
Silver Bow Creek was q sample of Republi-
rule and he CAV records of the trans |
exposing the matter in it's true
light. He spoke in very complimentary
of candidates on the county ticket
with vhom he vas acquainted. and of his
friend Carver he remarked: HE may not
be as brilliant as his predecessor. but he
cannot be bought. He closed with
the remark hat there are no
doubt good Republicans in the
party but he had never known one to run
Tor Office.
The meeting then adjourned to be long
remembered by those present for its many |
interesting and entertaining features. The
Impression left behind by the meeting must
exert a most Statutory effect in increasing
The majority for the Democratic ticket at
Rocker at the ensuing election.
