The following excellent address was
delivered by Senator Thomas H. Car

the occasion of his recent visit there
with Governor Theodore Roosevelt.
The Salt Lake Tribune published the
speech in full, accompanied by high
praise. Senator Carter said:

a form of civilization, the beneficial eff
fects of which have not been recognized
by older communities of less courage thar
this; a form of civilization and advanced
thought so ably considered in the COVER
nors message of the state of New York,
and for the first time IN the history of
any of the thirteen colonies, when our
candidate for the Vice-presidency, recog-
nizinS the justice and the wisdom of the
policy, recommended to the legislature of
New York the granting female suffrage
in that state. l think 1t was a wise thing
to do, because l think the women of New
York would come nearer controlling the
Tammany elements and the thugs around
the FIVE Points than the politicians of
new YORK nave succeeded IN DONG IN the
last generation. (Applause.)
Advance of the Race.
This advancement toward the West
reminds me of a thought worthy of ex-
preston here This race to which we
belong has been moving westward for
nearly two thousand years. About two
thousand years ago the humble Naza-
rene told the fishermen of Judea to go
forth and preach the gospel to all men.
everywhere In obedience to thai COM
mand, these humble fishermen swiftly
turned toward the West. Under the
doctrines taught by them, a civilization
was built up such as the world had never
before known. This race conquered the
wflos of Europe. 1t conquered the isles
adjoining, and finally the Pilgrim Faith
ers In the North and the cavaliers in the
South landed respectively at Plymouth
Rock and upon the palm covered bea thes
of Florida During the last four nun
drsd years this race has been engaged in
~conquering this continent; the savage.
the forest, the wild beast, tho sterile
plain, the rocky mountain, zach and all
the obstacles have been broken down
and conquered by the steady march of
this masterful race.
we are now upon The shores of the
mighty Pacific with our civilization. At
ter twenty centuries of march from Asia
around the globe, vs. find ourselves
back again at the rear door Of Asia.

Few men have played a more CON
spicuous part in the upbuilding of Mon
tana than Hon. David E. Folsom, the
Republican candidate for governor of
the state. Mr.. Folsom was born al Ep-

he emigrated to Minnesota and in

In a single term he has advanced to the foremost rank of
senators in ability and influence, and has contributed in
abundant measure to the wholesome and benefcent legislt-
ton that Republican congresses have enrolled upon our
statutes.
That the Republican party of Montana invites and well
comes the investments of capital that are conducive to the
labor, and assures them of the protection of equal and just
laws. At the same time it insists that injurious combina-
lions shall be forbidden; that corporations shall be limited
to their legitimate functions, and that so-called trusts shall
be regulated by the enforcement of the existing law or addi-
tional legislation If necessary, so that they shall not restrict
competition, unduly increase the prices Of commodities or
stife Independent agencies of production.

that was cast upon our state by the corrupt methods that
were employed in the election of a Democratic candidate for
the senate of the United States, and express our unqualified
condemnation of the Republican members of the sixth legis-
We condemn all bribery and pledge the Republican party
to pursue those who practice it with our laws and our courts.
That we offer a welcoming hand to all voters, without
regard to their past ties of party, who recognize the fact
that the policies of Republican legislation and administra-
ton embody the only assurance that the great republic shall
for all succeeding years enjoy prosperity at home and
honor abroad.

White Sulphur Springs, which has
since been his home.
With two COMPANIONS, Mr.. Folsom
made the first exploration of the gey-
ser region Of the upper Yellowstone, in
the fall Of 1869. He and his companions
were the first white men to view the
wonders of the National park. His
description of them, the first authentic
account ever written of Wonderland,
is one of the historic papers of the early
days.
Mr.. Folsom has always taken an
active part in Republican politics. He
has been a lifelong Republican and his
services to his party have peer con-
s%picuous for the ability he has dis
played. He served two terms as sur
veyor of Meagher county and was
treasurer of his county from 1886 to
1880. Later he was elected to the leg
islature, serving through the sessions
Of 1899 and 1896 with marked ability.
He Is at present a member Of the cap

That we extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers Of
Montana, who so nobly bore their part in uplifting the flag
of their country upon the field Of battle. To the memories
of our fallen heroes we offer g tribute of gratitude and ven

that are subject to the sovereignty Of the United States.
That we are in favor Of the election of United States
senators by the direct vote of the people.
That the Republican party has no part to perform in the
rivalries and contentious of Democratic leaders or factions;

the present campaign true to the declarations of the Repub-
lican platform and to the everlasting principles Of truth
and honesty.
That in pursuance of the traditional and unfailing policy
of the Republican party to seek by all practical and lawful
means the advancement of the interests and welfare of the
working classes, we recommend that the hours of labor be

That we heartily approve the action of Hon. Thomas H.
Carter in the senate of the United States, and commend his

borious and efficient devotion to the interests of Montana,
and his loyalty to the principles of the Republican party.

upon the results which followed the success Of the Repub-

in the rescue of our state from a slough of stagnation and

laborers at liberal wages, and a return Of prosperity that
extends to all sections of the state and to all classes of citi-
zens engaged in productive pursuits.
That we recognize in the Democratic party the historical
and persistent enemy of the policy Of protection to American
