Burlington roads, all carrying lanterns
of different colors while in front OF
them was am Impoverished engine with
q headlight and whistle. The showing
'nade by the whols procession was one
never to be forgotten in Billings. As
it moved down Montana avenue, the
whole street for four blocks was one
mass of solid fire from the fireworks,
torches and red lights.
The whole procession was marshaled
by Capt. J. G. Bond, with his lieuten-
ants, J. 3. Kurtx and Henry White.
The court house was crowded and
jammed. many people standing mp in
the rear. Owing to the vast number
which were DESTROYS of hearing Chap
lain Stull, an overflow meeting had
been arranged to take place in the old
bowling alley room, which the chap
lain addressed first. Here over 400
people had assembled and for half an
hour he spoke to them in his calm and
deliberate way, disabusing the minds
of those who had thought. all along
that a preacher had no business in pol
itics. After q short talk on local
affairs. Chaplain Stull then touched
upon the national issues of expansion
and imperialism and his treatment OF
the same was convincing. All through
his speech he was heartily applauded,
the audie G being composed mainly
of voters. The SOKM quartette was
present and sang a couple of selections
local hits and it is needless
to say they took with the audience.
Chaplain Stull then went to the
court house, where Judge Goss was
just concluding a speech, while Mr..
Goddard and G. l.. Harris spoke at the
bowling alley. The appearance of
Mr.. Stull i'm the court house was a
for tremendous applause, which
also greeted him when he arose to
speak a few minutes later. He spoke
about half an hour, when he took his
seat, the SOKM quartette again sing
The people then called for Chap
Lain Stull and be made a few closing
remarks.
And thus closed the campaign in
Billings, the republicans enthusiastic
and the democrats feeling sick and
sore.

ing to be acting as agent for Thorn. The
testimony further went ON to show that
Thorn was IN the act of presenting good
S bill when he was intercepted by Groves

We hold with the United States Supreme
Court that the Declaration of Independence
Is the spir, Of our government of which the
Constitution IS the form aud letter We de
clare again that all governments instituted
among men derive their Just powers from
the consent of the governed. that any
government not based upon the consent of
the governed is tyranny and that TO inn
pose upon any people a government of
force IS to substitute the methods of i'm.
perialism for those of republic We hold
that the Constitution follows the flag and
denounce the doctrine that an executive or
congress deriving their existence and their
powers from The Constitution can exercise
lawful authority beyond IL, or in violation of
II. We assert that no nation can long en-.
dure half republic and half empire, aud we
warn the American psople that imperialism
abroad will lead inevitably to despo,ism at
home.
Believing in these fundamental principles,
we denounce the Porto Rican law enacted
by Republican Congress against the pro-
