Iowstone's Representative.

"Can it really be that Heinze wants
to go to the United States -senate"
This is the question that is being
heard on about all sides today as one,
and the principal result OF last nights
meeting. Advertised as democratic
meeting at which national and state
fair turned out to be an occasion for
self laudation and abuse of the repub-
lican candidate for the legislature.
Mr.. Heinze told the audience what a
heluv fellow he was and proved it
by J. M. Kennedy. That was all there
was to it.
(, Heinze Paid the Bill.
| The advent of the distinguished
gentleman wnom a former democratic
admirer designated by the appelation
borne by the hero of Thermopalyae
was signaled by the discharge OF ex-
plosives and the consumption OF large
piles of wood at different corners OF
the downtown streets. The man in
charge of the artillery evidently was
not in sympathy with the cause for
which he was making noise. He fired
funeral guns. The band made tour
of a number of streets and footed the
announcement of the arrival OF the
saviour of the common people. The
festoons of incandescent lights used
for Illuminating Montana avenue
when the knights OF Pythias assem-
blies here were connected and sup
posedly flashed their brilliancy on the
crisp October air as manifestation
of the populace's delight at the honor
shown it by Mr.. Heinze's condescen-
sion to tarry while in his private
car. But the bill was footed by
Mr.. Heinze, for he himself has an
nounced that he is campaigning at his
own expense and does not want to
be beholden to any political organiza-
| tion.
A Drawing Card.
ALI this was unnecessary, save to
tickle the mans vanity, even it at
his own COST for the mere mention
that Heinze was to speak was all that
was needed to assure large attend
ance. iThe public is always willing
to be amused, especially when the
amusement is not productive of drains
on it's pocketbook, and Mr.. Heinze's
"show" was free one. 4 man charge
/ able with the paternity OF as many
alleged political parties as Mr.. Heinze
| may always feel assured that crowd
will gather to see him, the same as
any other we'll advertised freak. par.
ticularly in the height OF an exciting
political campaign. For this reason
the opera hause was almost full when
he finally appeared on the stage and
bowed his thanks to the feeble ap-
nlause that arose when Nat Carwile
walked in from the wings and pointed
him to seat.
Following these two were J. M.
Kennedy, Mr.. Heinze's lieutenant
general, w. B. George, jeff Brewer,
Judge Mann, J. D. LOsekamp and
few other of the men who have
aligned themselves with the litigious
wing of democracy.
Mr.. George Presides.
| Mr.. Carwile called the meeting to
order and expressed the pleasure it
gave him to introduce William B,
George as the chairman of the meet
ing. With this introduction the for.
mer mayor advanced to the edge OF
the stage and after taking drink OF
water opened his remarks by telling
the audience how muc hhe loved the
people OF Billings and that he was
prepared to do almost anything fol-
them. This overwhelming affection
caused him to wish to see them free
of domination by any corporation.
After few similar expressions he
began to laud F. Aug. Heinze, against
whom a cabal ofsinful New Workers
were conspiring for the purpose of de
priving the people Of Montana of his
protection and robbing them of the
shield he has been to them in the
ruthless warfare waged by a sOulles!
