The Teton peak. [volume] (St. Anthony, Idaho) 1899-1904, 1904-10-20
Rally at Teton.

yet. ~. The Republicans open-
ed the campaign in Teton last night
with rally i'll the Opera House.
There were quite number in at
tendance, but not as many as could
have been accommodated. Ben F.
Gillett, Republican Committee
man, presided over the assembly,
and in his Introductory remarks,
stated that i'll his estimation, more
people would take an interest in
political gatherings were it not for
the fact that everyone is SO busy
and SO satisfied with present con-
ditions that they have no time to
spare in listening to the spellbind-
ers. Showed difference in condi-
tions which exist now and those
that prevailed eight years ago,
when citizens had nothing to do
but listen to speechmaking, and
mourn over bad administration of
"Cleveland Democracy" The
principal speaker of the evening
was J. B. Jennings of St. Anthony.
Mr.. Jennings talk was largely ed
ucational in its nature He spoke
of the difference Of opinion that
exists between the Democratic and
Republican parties, as regards the
construction to be placed upon the
constitution of the United States.
Showed clearly and logically, that
if the constitution had been con-
strued according to the letter in
stead of the spirit as contended for
by the Democrats during the past
| Is years Of our history, how inn
possible it would have been for this
government to have made the pro-
gress that it has achieved and at
tanned to that proud position it
now occupies among the nations Of
the world. He spoke of the rebel
lion, told what were its primary
causes and gave those who were
responsible for it's inception that
credit that will always prove a
heritage of shame. He dealt with
state conditions and demonstrated
to the people that Republican skirts
| are clear of injecting any local con-
; tentions into what would otherwise
have been an honorable campaign.
Mentioned our senior senator long
enough to show that he, instead Of
representing the people of the State
is making war upon large portion
of our population and demonstrated
that Erred s. ability as politica
acrobat and lightning change
| artist is only limited by the mum
! Der of political organizations with
| in the state, but conceded if Mr.
Dubois remained much longer a
2 large that there would be enough
. factions within the Democratic
party to furnish sufficient scope fo
! all the political transformation
e necessary to develope an art i'll The
, exercise of which Mr.. Dubois seem
t ed to be postmaster. A glowing
tribute was paid to c. c. Moore TO
t the loyal work done during the las
, session OF the legislature, ant
y closed by exhorting voters to max,
e no mistake, but to support thos'
e who had been their friends in th'
y past and who would no doubt b.
. interested in their welfare in th
future.
c. c. Moore, of St. Anthon,
j, next addressed the meeting, ant
mad the audience with him unit
: the close of his remarks.
Everyone III Teton talk
> Charley because they know tha
I when he makes promise he in
e tends to keep it.
J. l. N. Corey, of independence
g assured the people that if he wa
elected, he would administer tn
affairs of the sheriff office to tn
e best of his ability.
l. There is no question as regard
e the position of the people of thi
"a precinct on the various subject
that will be discussed during til
: next few weeks. The majorit
/ are satisfied with present condi
tions, and to use the words of tn
:. late lamented Hanna, are going t
;, "stand pat.
