feet than the personal triumph OF any
one man. IL has been asserted that the
democratic ticket Is a corporation tick
ct. the candidates on which all wear the
collar Of a corporation. You all know
tha' 10 he false. There are men on that
ticket. and you all know IL. who hold
their personal liberties too high to sub
init to the dictates of any corporation.
The democratic ticket is the only n in
the field that was nominated I'm con-

I'm star chamber or. as one member OF
the opposition put IL. executive session.
of a few men for the qualification of
personal ambitions.
A vital Point.
II say again, there is something In
this campaign hat % receive the
careful consideration of every voter.
From this county will go to the legisla-
ture the largest delegation sent by any
other county I'm the election of a Unit
ed States senator. You should devote
yourselves therefore to selecting the
best delegation. There is no one on the
democratic ticket who should he sup
ported upon personal grounds, but upon
principle. ! have many good personal
friends on the other tickets. and IL does
not make SO much difference as regards
persons whether one of my friends or
myself goes as IL does with regard To
the principles we represent. The sena-
tor TO be elected will represent the
greatest mining state in h union.
There should be no question about his
being a strong silver man. This, my
friends. Is the only true issue before
you. / know when i try to talk silver
to you. / must appear like Peter talk
ing religion TO the Apostles. IL seems
unnecessary. but 1 want to IMPRESS y
on you the Importance of the success OF
the democratic ticket, because of the
bearing Il will have upon the election
of "A senator"
Referring to the local ticket. the
speaker said: I'm all the campaign
I have yet to hear from any man, OF
read in any opposition journal. any
thing against the Individual character
of any man on the democratic ticket.
Why is Il? II Is not because OF the
charity or sympathy of our opponents.
but because there IL nothing to say.
The only argument used Is that they
wear a corporation collar. and In this
connection l want to stan aside from
the position of a candidate long enough
to express my admiration for a compa-
ny that has lone more to make Silver
Bow county what II Is than all other
agencies combined. and when l say this
] don't admit that ] wear a collar. but
I merely pay a just tribute to the good
this corporation, that Is so abused, has
done"
Nc Peace la Politics.
Prolonged applause greeted the re-
marks. and speaking or the abuse the
Anaconda company has been treated TO.
the speaker said: Il repeat, such
things have no place in this county's
politics. Tn fact that | earned my iv-
ing working for the Anaconda compa-
ny four years. and when ! resigned my
position. carried away the good will OF
the company's officers. ! do not regard
as anything against me. ] have no mud
to throw. nothing TO say against any
candidate on any other ticket or his
principles. II he H. sincere I'm advocating
them. but l do want to say that as you
are earnestly in fayor of the free coin
age of silver. IL Is your duty To vote the
democratic ticket. for III the all-star
combination is successful at the polls.

Their delegation to h legislature Is
pledged to elect a goldbug senator. In
conclusion, ] want to say that IL the
democratic ticket represents faction. so
does the citizens ticket a great deal
more so; IL the democratic ticket rep
resents a corporation, the citizens tick
ct represents the ambition of one man
who never did anything for
this county-he did not have
to-but who has devoted him
himself to money-getting. and now that
he has grown enormously rich. wants
a term in the United States senate as
a crowning glory to his life"
The speakers emarks were punctu-

he closed indicated the tenor of feeling
with which his views We're received.
After another song by the Glee club.
