The republican campaign in Bur-
leigh county closed Saturday night
with rousing rally at the Atheneum
with Governor E. Y sarles, Senator
II. G. Hansbrough and Judge George
D: Emery of Minneapolis as the speak
ers. The speaking at the Atheneum
was preceded with a torch light
: parade, fireworks, red fire and the
usual accompaniments OF a political
demonstration To take the word of
the speakers who. Witnessed it, it was
one OF the. most enthusiastic and sue
cessful demonstrations they have
seen in the course of the campaign.
The managing committee had every
detail carefully looked after, and the
parade was witnessed by large crowd
from Bismarck and the adjoining coun-
try who came from. near and far to
participate in the last rally. -
Republication was the keynote of
the demonstration and of the speakers.
AT the Atheneum AFTER the parade,
the crowd filled the building to it's
capacity. It was an orderly crowd,
full Of enthusiasm, and the air was
frequently rent with cheering and ap-
plause. Only one interruption Of the
general harmony was noted and that
was when Senator Hansbrough stated,
that in the course Of his travels
through the state he had not seen or
heard a democratic orator. A demo-
crat in the audience, thinking the
speaker had said he had not seen a
democratic; voter, declared Here's
one" Immediately there were cries
Of "Put him OUT from others in the
audience. Senator Hansbrough quick
ly replied "The gentleman is mistaken.
I said had not seen a democratic
orator. If the gentleman pleads guilty
to being a democratic orator. will re-
tract the statement" At this there
was laughter, and no further inter
ruptions followed. =. - .#r
