STRONG MEN IN THE FIELD.
Mr.. John W. Stanton, who was candl.
date for county attorney, but was nomin-
ated for representative, made a forcible
speech, in which he said:
hardly know why you called me be-
Tore you unless it is because you want to
see how candidate feels after he is de-
feated for nomination [laughterl Cen
tlemen, can assure you that when nv
name was placed before this convention
for county attorney | thought it would
WIN, but am now convinced that YOU
thought different. 1t is for you, not me,
to say where shall be placed the men who
can make the strongest race; you are
mere to work for the party interest and
not the interest Of the individual. have
supported and worked hard for MIR, Tay-
lor in the past and can now give him the
same hearty support am not a person
to sour when unsuccessful, to be over
elated IN victory, nor can be discouraged
by defeat. Allow me this opportunity to
express my warm thanks to those Of Won
who lent me your support in this contest,
heartily appreciate your services. To
those who gave me not their support al
low me to say, gentlemen, that believe
you acted with the purest motives, that
you came here to perform duty and that
you supported man who will win in the
hight; that have only the kindest feel
1ngs toward you and hope soon to know
each Of you better personally and meet
you on common level in the fight for
victory that our party is now waging
against the enemy. Applause.]
The democracy is placing strong men
on the ticket from the head to the last on
the ticket. Maginnis and Toole are sure
to win. It seems to me that our candi-
dates cannot be defeated, for YOU are put
ting in nomination today men who stand
strong in this county as does Toole and
Mlaginnis in the territory. 1t seems inev-
table that we must win; we cannot af-
ford to lose this fight. You may be as
sured, gentlemen, that before the first of
next month my voice will be heard in
the interest Of democracy in every nook
and corner Of Montana where can pre-
serve democratic vote or honestly win a
republican vote for the party. Fellow
democrats, the fight is now on, the en-
gagement will be short, sharp, decisive;
we must win victory as we did in May
last. Let us buckle on the armor of true
democracy and march into the conflict |
with solid, unbroken front, prepared to
win what last year we failed in. Let us
prove to the masses Of the people, the in
telligent voters, that our party is the party
Of principle, the party of the people.
Write it upon their hearts and engrave it
upon their bones that the people have
rights which must and shall be respected
and protected.
THE INyINCIBLE DEMoCRAT.
Mr.. W. M. Cockrill made terse, tell
ing speech, in which he said: "I am
proud to see the party so full of energy
md vlgor. The democracy is invinclble.
1t has met with defeats in defending pop.
liar rights, but it has risen proudly there
rom. Last year it met with disaster, but
ix months later it has risen victorious I
ind regained every position which owing
o party discords it had lost. [Applause. /.
In the present contest intend to put
ny shoulder to the wheel and work for
he success of the entire ticket, as |
would have done whether had been
or not. Our party leaders !,
ire standing shoulder to shoulder with
he fullest confidence of victory. Let us
10 our part by attending to registation,
or snch is the primary condition of sue

oremacy, not for personal gain. Wehave

ority. [Applause.

Hon. T. E. Collins who was received
With hearty applause, made sound,
practical speech, which was well receiv-
ID and carefully noted He spoke, in
'art, to the following effect:

county ticket in the field, we must organ
