in the party. he opposes the party tick
ct. then that man Is guilty of political
treason. IL this mOngrel ticket has
sprung into existence under these con-
ditions. trust you will place the
seal of your condemnation on the par
ty next Tuesday.
BE Loyal To Democracy.
The democratic nominees are the
nominees of a regular organize ton.
regularly held. and have not heard II
charged that the nominees are unwor-
thy of support. There Is too much in
volved I'm this campaign for you to sup
port this mongrel ticket and I believe
that the support IL will receive from
democrats will be very light Be loyal
to yourself. stand by the regular DEM
ocratic nominees. There Is no pretense
that the men on the regular ticket are
not capable and competent. There Is no
question that IL elected they will faith
fully discharge the duties of the Offices
for which they are running They are
all democrats and silver men. and there
is no excuse for democrats TO go after
strange gods.
I'VE are told that in this campaign
the silver question is not involved. We
are told by Senator Carter that there
are other issues Of more importance
and that the agitation Of the question Is
detrimental to this state. l care not
what the other issue may be, whether
national. state or local. l am ready to
maintain that the democratic party Is
entitled to the suffrages of this state"
Colonel Nolan declared that there
was mismanagement of the war. and
there Is no doubt that someone has
been criminally negligent. But all
other questions dwindle into insignifi-
canoe when compared with the money
question. 1t In the paramount issue,
and the prosperity of the people de-
pends upon its correct settlement. The
republicans admit that bimetallism Is
essential to the prosperity of the coun-
trv. but claim IL can only be brought
about by international agreement. The
speaker maintained that bimetallism
can he maintained alone. He refuted
the idea that " this were done. the
country would be deiured with silver.
whv was not the country deluged with
silver prior to 1873? The country's
greatest growth in prosperity was un-
der bimetallism. He showed the neces-
sity of the next representative being
democratic, and he believed he would.
II is false to make the statement in
this state that the silver question is
waning In the Fast for silver is made
the issue in congressional elections all
over the Fast. 1t is OF the utmost i'm
portance that the democrats of Mon
tana send a congressman who will join
with the democrats of the East and
South in the aid of silver.
In ending his speech. the colonel
said:
Stand by the Ticket.
ct ask you i'm conclusion to study
your own interests. The election this
fall Is just as important as the one
two years ago and as the one will be
two years hence. The democratic party
Is the only party that advocates silver.
II is the only party through which sill
yer can be accomplished. Stand by
your interests. Vote for the democratic
ticket from top to bottom. Disregard
the sophistries Of those who are urging
you to support the mongrel ticket.
When Tuesday night comes. let not
Tom Carter send word to the East that
Montana is wavering in its loyalty to
silver and that silver Is on the wane
in Montana. BY rolling up a decisive
majority encourage those in other
states to continue the fight for silver un-
til in the end the American people will
/ recognize the fact that the permanent
prosperity OF the country can only be
secured by the establishment of a bi-
metallic standard. The democrats In
| congress will inauRurate legislation tc
bring about that result. and this coun-
| try will have such prosperity as II
never had before"
Thunders of applause marked the ap.
proval Of the audience during Colnne
| Nolan's speech. II was acknowledge
/ by all to be one Of the most telling ad
dresses delivered in the campaign. Al
the conclusion the meeting adjourned.
