xran attnnloI ftar tha h.1r
of bonfres and shooting of anvils large
crowd gathered and for about an hour
listened attentively to an eloquent -ad-
dress by Burton L. French, republican
candidate for congress. Mr.. French's
address is conceded by all hearers to
have been equal, if not superior, to any
delivered here on either side during the
entire campaign. He is y most pleasing
speaker and rivets the attention of his
listeners, no matter what their political
creed may be. B. F. Tweedy, OF Lewis
ton, and A. S. Hardy, of Grangeville,
also spoke at some length. After the
speaking free dance was given and
everyone who attended was loud in the
praise of the good time they had. Ex-
cellent music was furnished by Eric
Jensen and Albert Bracket.
The democrats held great rally here
Tuesday evening. The members of the
ladies' democratic club, of Grangeville,
were present and also large number of
other visitors. Bon fires were built in
the evening, anvils were fired, drums
were beaten and the small boy nearly
wore out his talking machine producing
yells. Orations were delivered in Odd
Fellows hall by Senator Heitfeld, Reese
Hattabaugh, W. H. Casady and A. F.
Parker. Standing room was at pre-
MUM, between 250 and 800 people be-
ing present. The town has not been so
lively since the fourth of July. Candi-
dates were thicker than flies around a
honey pot. Booze and cigars circulated
with rapidity that would be startling
to one unused to campaigns, but this
can be explained by the fact that the
town was full Of, candidates, both demo-
cratic and republican, and each was
trying to outdo the other. There was
something doing every minute.
