A GRAND DEMOCRATIC
RALLY AT THE AUDITORIUM
The Hall Crowded to the Doors-Governor Smith Opens
the State Campaign in Butte With One of
His Ablest Addresses.

| whose business and exceeds
that of all the rest OF the world. with
more miles of railroad han all the rest
OF the world. with SO. 000, 900 more tons
of freight carried h a in all the rest
Of the world. with an army and navy
which never knew defeat: can such a
| nation be so weak that IL cannot main
tain by Itself the free and unlimited
] coinage of silver? The man who tells
you that this country cannot maintain
free coinage of silver alone and unaided
Is trying to hoodwink you.
Don't Divide Your Votes.
Don't be led on into dividing your
votes" said the governor. Another
ticket may be for silver. but when yo'
vote for that you are casting half a
vote for the gold republican ticket.
Vote the democratic ticket straight
from top to bottom. Don't put in peril
the election Of a silver United States
senator by voting for any but demo-
cratic candidates. Stand for the people
OF silver and vote the ticket of the
party which stands for silver. You
know most of the candidates. Mr..
Campbell Is your own townsman. He
had no idea of taking the nomination
for congress. but was prevailed on TO
take the nomination as apparently be-
ing the man to ft the hour. Tom
Marshall was for years a democrat. but
he left the party a few years ago be-
cause he said he could not stand
Cleveland n ~goldbugism.' He has
gone from the frying pan n the fire.
To vote for Mr.. Hogan is merely to
cast a vote for Mr.. Marshall. Judge
w. Y. Pemberton Is also a citizen of
Silver Bow county. He has served the
people well and deserves a reelection.
I know that Judge Pemberton Is a sill
YER man. l don't know where Judge
Brantly stands, for he has more plat
forms tina he has feet. On the west
side he is running as a silver man and
and on the east side he is running as
a gold Hon. VIM. r. Pigott. can
didate for associate Justice. is a man
of the highest ability and the most
sterling ability. Henry @. Rickerts of
. Boulder Is the candidate for clerk of
the supreme court n well deserves
your support. The election of any re-
publican candidates in this state will
be heralded abroad as the defeat of the
democratic party and of the cause of
free silver. Why vote against any
democratic candidate?
They say that Campbell is an enemy
of labor l most emphatically deny II.
He is not an enemy of labor, but a
friend Of labor. His record Is one to be
proud Of. 1t Is true he voted in the
state Legislature against the Typo
graphical union label bill and the eight
hour bill and the free text book bill.
What does the union label bill amount
to? The label bill was to have a union
label put on the letter heads and the
envelopes used by the state Yet all
the newspaper plants of the state. I
Ithink. employ union labor. and nothing
could be gained for labor by the pas
sage of the bill. The eight-hour propo-
sition l know is one which agitates the
laboring men, but many Of them are

advantageous. While everything else
has been going down I'm this state. the
wage scale has been maintained practi-
cally as IL has always been here. Do
you think you can cut on two hours
of labor and the same wages he main
tanned? The result Of the passage of
hat bill would be either n reduction i'm
wages or big strikes. disastrous alike to
employe and employer. While doing
well, let well enough alone. The pas
sage of that bill would mean the clos
ing down of many Institutions and en-
terprises which are now paying splen-
did wages. Mr.. Campbell was not OPP
posed to the principle of the free text
book bill. but to some OF the provisions
which he could not get amended to suit
his ideas The statement that he OPP
posed all the bills in the interest OF
labor is false. The statement hat he
favored all bills in the interest Of cor
porations and the rich is equally
false.
He introduced and supported a bill
fixing a high license rate on insurance
companies. which has brought the state
an income of $50. 900 without any ex-
pense. thus relieving the poor of so
much taxation. He also introduced and
supported the tax OF inheritance and a
bill requiring railroad corporations TO
settle promptly all claims for damages.
