Conclusion. = The State
FOR Parker.
The democrat campaign of Rose
bud county was opened Wednesday
night by the political speeches at
Alexander Hall by Edwin c.. Norris,
candidate for lieutenant governor on
the democratic ticket, and C. b. Nolan.
of Lewis and Clarke county. The
audience, while not large, was appre-
ciative and gave their closest atten-
Birney introduced the speakers of the
evening. Mr.. Norris, the first speaker.
outlined in brief manner the issues
of the present state campaign and ex-
planned IN clear and forcible manner
what Governor Toole and the democ-
racy of Montana stands for. Mr..
Norris, in comparing the outlook of the
present campaign with that Of two
years ago, said that the present pros
poets were by far more favorable now
than then for ''In union there is
strength. F" 1.-TWO years ago the dem
ocrats were divided and were fighting
each other, now they are fighting their
common enemy, the republicans. y
Mr.. Norris then discussed the re-
publican issue that '.William Lind
say is an honest man" 1t required
no torceful logic to elucidate the fact
that one honest man is as good as an
other, and the fact conceded that Will
Liam Lindsay IS an honest man pro-
vldes no issue whatever, for no one can
gainsay the honesty Of Governor Toole.
Mr., Norris also spoke OF the fact
that Governor Toole was charged with
being a friend Of the corporations. The
tact has been demonstrated again and
again blythe governors acts that he is
not subservient to the money power
and does not seek to ingratiate him
self with that class. Does the fact
that he has more than doubled the
taxes on corporations show that he is
corporation man? Governor Toole
has also been active in securing the
being the prime promoter of the move
ment for a more efficient ''fellow-serv
ant law" all of which speaks for
Governor Toole as a man who voices
the sentiments of the people rather
than the will of the corporation.
MIR. Norris said ''Never until Heaven
goes republican and hell goes Christian
will Joe Toole so back on the people of
this state. "
G. b. Nolan then spoke on the ma
tional issues.
Mr.. Nolan dwelt on the fact that the
average American considers TOO lightly
his right OF casting ballot and un-
derestimates the Importance of this
most sacred duty. Among other things
Mr.. Nolan spoke of Judge Parker be-
ing a friend 10 the laborlng man being,
a loregone conclusion owing to the
faet that the Judge had made numer-
Gus decisions for labor while Judge in
the state of New York.
Mr. Nolen spoke at some length on
the tariff question, making a forcible
argument tor the present policy pur-
sued by the democratic party on that
question.
while not an orator of the ''spell-
binder" type, Mr.. Nolan is logical
thinker and makes a speech full of
deep thought and good logic.
On next Wednesday night A. c.
Gormlev of Cascade, and Hon. Charles
III. Hall of Missoula, will speak in the
Alexander hall. Come out and listen
to good speech and learn something
of the doctrine of sound democracy.
