q Splendid Republican Victory In Sight--Th
State Will Be Redeemed From
Democracy.

While the hired paraders were march
ing up and down the streets last Satur-
day evening and 'whooping it up" for
f%usionists; while their apology for a
flanbeau club was flamming it to the
best of their tactical knowledge, and
while Chevy Chase was echoiag from
the buildings in response to the severe
strains of the fusion band, the repub-
leans were holding a meeting in the
Auditorium and convincing voters that
their best interests lay in voting for the
representatives Of prosperity at the pol S
On Tuesday next. The house was crowd
ed, despite the many funny things to be
seen on the streets-strong and indis-
putable evidence that as the crisis in the
campaign draws near the people are
thinking more of their own future than
Of the success or defeat of the barrel
in politics.
The Alice Rough Rider band was pre-
sent, as was the Meadervi!le republican
Quartette, and both Of these musical or
CARNATIONS afforded all the amusement
desired by those sober-minded electors
Who We're thinking more about the full
dinner pail thar about banners and
transparencies

The meeting was called to order by
Alex. Laist, who introduced Hon. Abram
N. Yoder, the republican candidate for
secretary of state, as the chairman of
the evening. In a few brief but felicit-
Gus remarks the chairman stated the OBJ
iects of the meeting and was roundly
cheered at the close.
q am proud to have the honor of pre-
siding at this meeting" said Mr. Yoder.
Il am always glad to meet with repub-
licans and I am particularly glad to meet
with you here at my old home. l have
inst returned to Butte from a trip
around the state in company with a few
of the other candidates, and everywhere
we went we were greeted by large and
enthusiastic audiences.
Il believe that the outlook for a grand
republican victory in the state or Mon
tana was never SO bright. The party is
we'll organized all over the sta e; Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt clubs are TO DC
found in every town. l do net beieVe
the saving that as goes SILVER 80" SO
roes the state will hold good ny any
means this fall, for the republicans out
side this city will roll up such a rouslnS
~republican majority that no matter how
-, 49,. -c D,,tta ?, W vote tHpra Will
still be a big republican victory in the
state. However, l have faith in the
citizens of Silver Bow county. ! believe
that they have heard the speakers or al
The different parties and that they nave
intelligent,y made up their minds now
thew will cast their ballots: If l am not
mistaken they have arrived at the con-
clusion that the only way in WIN en- theJ
can redeem the good name of the state
is by voting the republican ticket.
eft seems that the opposition is put
ting forth nearly all its strength on the
legislative ticket. Now. the way Things
look in other parts of the state, l am
satisfied that the next legislature Will De
republican. and, furthermore, we Will
send two republican senators to the
United States senate. App.auseo
81 still have an abiding faith in the
grand old republican party, viii en- forty
years ago tool the guardianship OF THIS
nation, when the sword of dissolution
and discomfort was hanging over TINS
country, and by it's patriotism and Its
craftsmanship and its progressive policy
placed us where we are today-rhe most
powerful, the most wealthy. the most
honored, and, above all, the most pros
porous nation on the face Of Gods green
earth.
"The republican party has made few,
if any, mistakes. Its principles have al
ways kept pace with the growth of the
needs of our country, and we ire proud
today of the record of the grand
Old party, and especially proud of the
record of the last four years under the
guiding hand of that great statesman
William Mckinley. (App!ause.)
The republican party has always
been the party OF progress, of education
and civilization, and as by the fortunes
of war we have taken unto our keeping
the islands across the sea. we will neyei
abandon them until the last yestige OF
the rule of Spain and Aguinalio has
been wiped off the face OF those Stands
and a government established for the
best interests of those people. CHEERS.
W are more than proud of those
brave Montana boys who Joined the
Rough Riders, and We're willing, if neet
be, to offer UP their young lives or
Cuban soil. We are more than proud o.
the First Montana regiment, the mem,
bers of which at their country's call
sailed away across the sea and there a
Luzon carried the Stars and Stripes o
their country to victory in many a hard
fought battle. And I must not neglec
to say that words fail to express tn,
pride we feel. in spite of the sorrow, OF
account of those brave boys who lai,
down their lives in defense of the homo
of their flag"
