attraction for that class of insects.
But we have them all in the bag now,

tor to be? Courtney" and the answer
was unanimous in the affirmative. The
speaker appealed to the voters TO send
TO the legislature men who VIII vote
for a silver senator. The senator who
goes to Washington must be a silver
man." said the major, not only while
he Is taking the path of office. but all
during the years of his service-silver
when he's mustered in, and silver when
he's mustered out. -.
Twill YOU vote for Thompson? Will
you vote for the head of a society
whose oath Is a reasonable one In the
limited States? No man ever took that
oath and the oath to support M con-
~stitution of the United States who was
not a p~erjurer. We used to shoot men
i'm war times who took such oaths. 1t
would be shameful to let the news go
abroad that a goldbug had been elected
i'm Montana. We have never had a
senator In Washington whose record on
silver at some time or other was not
open to question. BY this ] do not mean
to impugn Senator Mantle
The major went into a discussion OF
the money question and concluded:
The eternal God put the metals to-
