Magnificent Speech and Big
Turn Out.

The largest audience that has gathered
in Kittson Hall tor many years was as
sembled OH Monday evening to hear
! Gatl. L. ). .,.,t- .as.-, i.> AL w4.s
crowded to the doors, and seventy-hve
or hundred people stood up for two
hours and a half for want of seats. A
large proportion Of the audience were
ladies and the democrats turned out in
full proportion. The Pembina Cornet
Band kindly called the people together
with some excellent music. About 80
Rough Riders from Neche braved the
slippery, muddy roads and rainy night to
help do honor to the occasion. They
occupied reserved seats at the front and
in their soldier uniforms were splendid
specimens of stalwart North Dakota
republicanism. While notice of Mr.. Nc
Cumber's coming had only been received
on Friday morning, yet in the meantime
about twenty-five young ladies and gen.
tlemen, mostly under voting age, had
organized an impromptu Glee Club and
gave very acceptable program Of cam
paign songs at the beginning which did
much to enthuse the audience, who all
joined with the greatest heartiness in
"America" at the close of the musical
numbers. Mr.. Aug. Short introduced
the speaker OF the evening, Hon. P. ].
McCumber, who for the next two hours
held the close attention of the audience
with one of the most eloquent, mastery
and argumentative addresses that has
been heard in this locality. Appreciat.
ing the fact that many of his auditors had
that day taken out their final citizen
papers Mr.. McCumber drew a beautiful
parallel between their former allegiance
and flag to that which they had this day
assumed. We only wish that it was pos.
sible for us to reproduce Mr.. McCumber's
address for we would be glad to see it in
the hands of every voter i'll the county
We can only give the following extract
as a sample of his 'eloquence:
Ao YOU lSleA W luc Will vi lHe
wheels of industry, the ring Of the ham
mer and the anvil, the song of shuttle
and loom, the roar OF the mighty furnaces
and the heart throbs of the great engines
of industry; as you look into the home:
OF millions OF our laborers radiant with
peace and Joy and hope; as you look
from ocean to ocean, from gulf to boun
Diary line over one of the most prosper
Gus countries on the face of the earth
without single idle mill or the neces
sity of an idle man; the smoke Of thous
ands OF furnaces curling to the clouds, ar
incense Of thankfulness by day and thu
fires of thousands OF furnaces illuminat
ing the black arch of heaven by night

in the name Of God and patriotism, in
the name Of home and humanity, what
complaint have you to make against the
grand old republican party?'
In argument the orator covered the
whole field OF political issues in man.
ner hardly possible in the time to any
ordinary speaker.
The comment OF many of most intelli-
gent democrats was that Mr.. McCumber
is splendid sp .aker and that North
Dakota has reason to be proud of him as
a senator. The republican comment
was that it was by far the best political
speech ever given in this city.
We want everybody to get ready to
help us-to help everybody-to get the
county election news at the very earliest
possible minute. Last year with the
help of many good friends we sent out
complete correct returns in the PIONEER
EXPRESS on Friday morning in time for
the regular mails. On the other hand
we will give to all applying-in anyway
all we know as fast as we get it. Send
in the returns.

Well Substantiated

Within the last week of the campaign
stories have been circulated which reflect
on the character Of Prof. George Martin.
republican nominee for county superin-
tendent. These reports were circulated
too late for Mr.. Martin to write to Cando
his former home and secure written re-
ply in time to use before the campaign
closed, and in order to put himself right
before the public he sent message to
Cando on Tuesday, the 30th of, October
and the following message was returned:
1910 P. NJ, Cando, N. D.,
October 80, 1900.
George Martin. St. Thomas, N. D:
From personal acquaintance with Geo.
Martin we can testify as to his good
character while principal of the Cando
high school.
F. L. Thompson, president of school
board.
CT. Lord, president of Cando State
Bank and republican nominee for rail-
road commissioner.
c. E. Blackberry, superintendent of
schools for Towner county.
James Forgarty, (democrat) editor of
Cando Herald.
w. H. MCGEE, clerk of district court,
Towner county.
c. H. Olson, general merchant.
merchant.
t. w. Conyers, {democrat) lumber
dealer and delegate to national DEM
ocratic convention at Kansas City, July
4, 1900.
F. v. Hunter, hardware merchant.
N. O. Johnson, druggist
This gives the lie to any statements
derogatory to Prof. Martin while resi-
dent Of Cando, Towner county. During
his residence in St. Thomas he has a.
ways been looked upo:. us moral, up
right, Christian gentleman, which facts
can be attested to by any citizen of ST.
Thomas without regard to party. And
Mr.. Martin courts investigation of these
points either in Cando, his former resi-
dence, or St. Thomas his present home.

Andrew Nelson has more cows thar

A. D. Cavileer returned from the
Roseau river country Monday where he
went in company with others to put up
hay over six weeks ago. The heavy
rains came on soon after they got located
and the party have been cut off from the
outside world ever since. lift had not
been for the game killed many of the
people around there would have suffered
for want of food. The river at the marsh
is ten to fifteen miles wide and all the
hay put up before the harvest is practi-
callY a total loss. Mir. Cavileer saw sew
eral moose and deer while cruising
around i'll boat. and ducks and geese
are plentiful all over.
A man somewhat under the influence
of liquor made some little disturbance at
the political meeting on Monday and
was conducted outside by the city mar
shall. AS he, was disturbing some four
hundred citizens, including ladies as we'll
as many democrats, this seemed very
proper, but yet the city marshal was in
formed by democratic attorney and
politician "that the man had as much
right in the hall and to speak there as
Mr.. McCumber.'' The constitution of
the United States guarantees the right of
peaceful assemblage for the discussion of
public questions and that implies, and
the statutes of North Dakota specify, that
no person has a right to disturb any
public meeting.
TuesCiay night partisan. politics will
close with the polls. Then the PIONEER
EMPRESS is for everybody that's elected.
AS usual this Office will be open to all
for the purpose Of getting results as soon
as possible after election. We will keep
public bulletin board for the use of all
interested and all we ask in return, is
that everybody helps to get in the figures.
We want every messenger who brings in
returns to cali at the Office; we want
everybody who gets chance to copy his
precinct returns to send us copy by
mail or otherwise. We hope the candi-
dates and Others will use the telegraph
and telephone. We will be glad to reclp.
rocate to other towns, candidates and
persons interested. As soon as Pembina
city vote is counted we will send the
totals by telephone to all towns in the
county. Will try and ring them all up al
once. Do that with your own town.

While at the University he took great
interest in debates, being on several
