Judge Moody for the Other Side.
FIX Senator Moody followed j
Palmer for and in behalf Of the first

ver-voiced citizen of the Black Hills

element. Is Judge Palmer, heinqu
a good Republican, willing to leave
differences Of the party to the mao

Judge Palmer desired to
"stinger" in the transportatlon J
that the party might be placed =
with the proposition to give the pO'
railroad commissioners greater

endorsed and ratified by the conss
without opposition, and the trans
ton portion of the platform Is !
cally his own creation. The iuh !
tons were then overwhelmingly ~.
only a few feeble nays being ne'
opposition.
