The periods of combativeness of the

Hunt and Sovereign.

Governor Hunt and J. R. Sover-
eign spoke to very small audience
at the pavilion Tuesday evening,
most Of who were republicans who
went out mostly through curiosity
to hear the much talked of Sover-
eign, the professed leader of the
laboring men. The governor said
he had done some wonderful things
during his administration, and said
the republican administration of
six years ago was corrupt, immoral
and extravagant and that if the
democrats had not taken hold of
the reins of government at that
time the state would have been
hopelessly lost, going on to tell
of the wonderful things he had ac-
complished during his administra-
ton, failing of course, to say
anything about the penitentiary
steal; or that of the Albion normal |
school, and said he did not see how |
the people could hold him respon-
sible for the actions of the corrupt
men he had appointed to office,
further saying that such things
must be expected, and simply con-
'essed that he was not qualified to

Teachers Meeting.

| The first teachers meeting of the
year was held last Saturday at
Bliss, in the Burkhard school house.
and proved to be both profitable
and enjoyable to all.
One of the very pleasant features
of the occasion was the presence of
the trustees and patrons of the
surrounding school districts, thus
showing that they, too, realize and
appreciate the value of teachers
meetings to the educational work
of the county. The attendance of
teachers was not as good as ex-
pected, but the lateness of the
trains made it impossible for some
of them to be present.
An excellent program was
rendered, every number showing
clreful preparation. Informal dis
cussions followed each subject
which brought to light the fact
that the teachers are more ehthus-
iastic over their work than ever,
and that, educationally, Lincoln
county is making more than the
average progress.
The program was as follows:

French and Hamer.

The republican campaign in
Lincoln county was opened last
Thursday night in the Shoshone
pavilion by Burton French, nomi-
nee for congress and Col. Hamer
late of the First Idaho regiment,
who spoke to large and attentive
audience.
Mr.. French sustained his reputa-
ton for talking clearly, eloquently
and to the point. He dwelt largely
on the trust question and national
issues showing up the hypocrisy Of
the democratic party in dealing
with those subjects.
In introducing Col. Hamer J. S.
Donaldson chairman of the meet
ing spoke of what he himself had
seen of the colonels bravery in the
Philippines. In Col. Hamer's re-
ference to the "late unpleasantness"
at Poeatello seemed to strike tho
funny spot of his democratic audi
tors who smiled broadly.
Altogether the "opening gun" of
the campaign was success and
the people felt that they had heard
the issues of the day truthfully
discussed by men who knew what
they were talking about and who
ire honest in their opinions.

Republican County Ticket
Named at Hagerman
ROUSING CONVENTION
Adopt Patriotic Resolutions--Every
Precinct Represented and have
Encouraging Reports.

The republican county conven-
ton held in the city hall at Hager-
man last Friday afternoon was the
largest and most enthusiastic ever
held in Lincoln county. 1t was
very harmonious there being but
few little political contests and
they were for the offices of county
coroner and commissioner in the
first district, but it was of a friendly
nature and without any hard feel
ing. The interest shown in the
body's deliberation this year was a
sufficient guarantee that the party
must win. The feeling was unani-
nous that this above other years
was one when the party would win
as there has never been better OPP
portunities offered. The convention
was addressed in the evening by
Col Hamer, who spoke on the nat
ional issues and Ex-Governor Nc
Connell, who spoke on the state
issues. The hall was crowded and
both addresses were we'll received,
and both speakers created consider
able enthusiasm. We think the
delegates used good judgement in
its selection of candidates as all
are good clean men and each well
qualified to fill the Office for which
he is chosen and who need no in
