1900 voters. Jud r. Rush ana Juose "
McNutt were the speakers OF the e'enins s'
and the former gave the local hepuolic"h
bosses a roasting" by name unat tnoee
who heard him will remember. Judge NC
Mutt confined himself almost encrey 10
national issues, probably because ne was
not so familiar with the state issues as IN
..old-timer," but Rush went after rhe
Southern Pacific in politics without gloves
and in giving his reasons Tor saying 'he
railroad was in politics this year named
the men who were working for the inter-
est of Gage and told why they were IN the
fight. Successfully he took up the nomina-

appointment Of Osborne and Parker and
their railroad connection in detail; Mccall
ferry and his henchnen came next
The crowd cheered again and again as
Rush quoted facts from documents and
within the knowledge OF the people that
could not be disputed.
Then the speaker compared Barlow ana
Waters and was fair to BOTH but scored
the latter candidate. Alger got his dress
ing down and the Republicans cheered
Rush for his honest and fair presentation
of the case.

Van Dyke, Frank Cooper, Jim Hanley and
other candidates and closed a speech OF
an hour, during which not person left
the tent, with brilliant peroration tina.
gave him a round of cheers.

some forty minutes, being followed by
Messrs Wood and Cooper, the latter being
the recipient of a large bouquet of roses
from a feminine adm.rer. Congressman
