Senator Lee Mantle was escorted

man Meyer as one who did not need
an introduction, as he was known 10
all.
Mr. Mantle was in an exceptionally
happy vein, and soon had his auditors
loudly applauding the good republic
can sentiments he uttered. He paid
his respects to the hospitality of the
people of Billings and then remarked
that he had been told that the hall
used by the convention was a wool
warehouse. 1t was particularly ap-
propriate that such selection Of a
hall had been made, for wool was one
of the many articles that was bene.

A shout of ayes" arose. When
the contrary minded were asked tc
express themselves the Noes" seem
ingly were equally numerous.
Mr.. Irwin said that he was unable t,
decide and requested those voting in
the affirmative to arise.
The men from Silver Bow showed
themselves to be possessed of strong
lungs and vigorous vocal organs, as
II. was found that they had been the
only ones who had voted Tor the
adoption of the amendment. All the
other delegations voted solidly in the
negative.
The committee was given the right
to elect it's chairman independent OF
the convention.
Messrs. Carter of Lewis and
Clarke, White Of Beaverhead, Bour-
quin of Silver Bow, were named by
Mr.. Irwin as committee to escort his
successor to the chair. He then
briefly introduced Mr.. Meyer, who
made an earnest speech in which he
spoke of the friendship for the west
entertained by Roosevelt as in con.
trast to the attitude of Cleveland,
whose enmity toward the undesirable
was still we'll remem.
bered. The democrats of the state
had learned what to expect from an
administration of their own party. and
for that reason many OF them would
vote the republican ticket this fall.
Next Mr.. Meyer spoke of the DIFF
ference in results that had accrued To
Montana by reason of having a re-
publican in the house of representa-

/ fitted by the republican policy of a
protective tariff.
| Mr.. Mantle next dwelt upon the
bright prospects for republican sue
cess and congratulated the convention
i upon the restoration of complete har.
mony within the party. Contending
! factions, he said, had come together
and reunited party was once more
battling common foe. Respects was
paid to the democratic party and it's
time-worn hypocracies shown up. Re-
view was made of the party's history
during recent years. After having
grasped at various issues upon which
to go before the people, it had once
more swung back to the tariff and
was seeking to deceive them again
into an acceptance of the theories that
were put into practice under Cleve-
land. That they would succeed seem
ed hard to conceive, for the protec-
tive tariff had been tried thoroughly
and the good it did to all firmly es-
tablished. Better as source of high
wages to the laborer than the strong
est union ever organized was the pro-
tective tariff, and the speaker did not
want to be understood as saying aught
against such organizations. Demo-
Gratis maintained that the republican
tariff was productive of high prices
for all the commodities and necessar-
les. While it was true that many ar
ticles were higher than under demo.
cratic free trade, it was also true that
the money was to be had for their
purchase. The cheap things boasted
of by the democrats under the Wilson
bill remained unbought, because of
the inability of any except the rich
to buy them.
Mr.. Mantle closed with q compare

In explanation of it's size he said il

weight of the republican majority IL
Yellowstone county this fall.
Mr.. Meyer accepted the gift in d
few happy remarks.
Another Recess Taken.
The chairman's call for the report
of the committee on platform and
resolutions brought out the fact that
the committee was still engaged in
its preparation.
A motion was made that the con.
ventlon take a recess until o'clock.
Probably because of the good time
he was having, the late temporary
chairman offered as a substitute that
it adjourn until 10 o'clock Thursday.
He was declared out of order and an
amendment extending the recess un-
til o'clock was adopted.
