| Butte. Mont, Sept. 27-With a speech at Anaconda made late today and two | in this city tonight, Senator Fairbanks | concluded his second day in Montana i The itinerary for the day covered the | line of the Northern Pacific railroad ] from Billings to this point. and the party passed from the upper Yellow stone country into Gallatin valley, crossing the continental divide and ar irving at Butte very little after sched- ule time.
 Tn addition to Anaconda and Butte, stops for speeches were made at Big Timber, Livingston. Bozeman and White Hall. At all of these places, ex- cept Bozeman, practically the entire q population turned out to welcome the vice presidential candidate and his as | sociates, and the exception at Bozeman was caused by a misunderstanding of
 the time of arrival. At Livingstone and
 Big Timber the school children formed
 a noticeable feature of the meeting.
 Addresses were made at all stoppi2g
 points by Senator Fairbanks and Sem
 ator Deliver and ex-Senator Carter
 and in each instance their remarks . were frequently punctuated by ap- plause.
 In the main. the speeches were along
 general lines and consisted largely of
 appeals to sustain existing conditions
 by voting the republican ticket. At
 White Hall the train backed slightly
 while Senator Fairbanks was speak
 ing and he made an instantaneous hit
 by remarking, This must be a demo- , cratic train as it shows a disposition to 9 move backwards
 The reception accorded the party at
 Anaconda was extremely cordial and Q
 meeting at that point was held. was
 filled to repletion. The streets between 7 the railway station and the theater l were lined with people, and much en- . thusiasm was displayed. Employes r from the immense smeIters and the
 Amalgamated Copper company were . present at the meeting in large num- 2 bers.
 The Panama canal question was o afnong the issues discussed at the An |. aeonda meeting by Senator Fairbanks e iand on that point he-salid:- .:,Ehe- eF,- t position condemns the methods by q which the president secured the -zeces- r sary rights and franchises to conrstuct f and maintain the Panama canal. but 2. they cheerfuIly accept the fruit of his e efforts and promise to carry on tn, 1t work. The president acknowledged n the independence of the people of Pan S anna in the proper exercise Of his con. e stitutional powers. He acted within 70 our treaty rights when he protected tn, d lives and property of American citi n zens upon the isthmus His promp 10 action has made possible the eariy
 completion of the canal. He has no
 acted in contravention of his execu
 tive duty in our national interest. H. T has earned praise, not censure. b. V nnlE md

 At Butte the party was also cordialI Ie greeted and the entire population ap
 peared to be on the streets or at tn
 theaters in which the two meeting
 of the night were held. At the Gran
 theater, Butte. where Senator Fair 1f banks spoke, he dwelt upon the tarif lS question, referring especially to tn e. tariff on lead ore. On the tariff po.n eI he said in part: "One of the wise pro
 visions of our protective law is tha
 which imposes a duty on lead ore Tn
 miners of the great Rocky Mountai T. region and elsewhere said to us, If yo g>NwiH place an adequate protective tar Id if on lead ore, you will stimulate tn 2, mining industry in the United State Y. You will open the old mines closed b 5. the democratic policy and start ne' C. ones, thereby giving remunerative em s. ployment to the vast army of wag q, earners' We believe the claims to
 well founded. We acted upon the as
 sumption that an adequate duty O
 lead ore would stimulate the minin {: industry and we therefore imposed s. sufficient duty to protect the industr S. against foreign competitors who weT
 able to hire their labor at less wage
 than we would either ask or desire ou
 miners to accept.
