Beyond question the fair established
the farming possibilities of Chouteau

The horse exhibit was most complete

cattle show was not as complete as one

7. ]. WALSH MAKES HIT
Democratic Candidate for Congress
Opens the Campaign in Havre with
q Rousng Speech.

Indian reservation controversies he
pertaining to the aborigines of the Fort
Bclknap reservation and of the Black
foot reservation He declared himself
strongly in favor of law that woul
establish an effective railroad law. Mr..
Walsh insisted upon the value of the
primary law, but declared that it should
extend all along the line of officers of
the state from United States senator to
constable Mr.. Walsh endorsed. also,
the 'recali." Mr., Walsh insisted that
! laws that would lessen the loss of life
and limb by railroads could be made
effective if Democracy were given the
helm of the Ship of State, and he
pledged that it would be under such a
circumstance. Mr.. Walsh declared that
the hours of duty under which an en-
ployee should be kept on duty should be
strictly limited by national law under Sc
we're penalties, laying stress on thewords
strictly" national laws" ana severe
penalties"
Mr. Walsh spoke at length of the duty
of railroads to employees, insisting that
| the block system of switching should
be compelled in Montana that the state
should see to it that air-brakes and
automatic couplers should be provided
on trains as the state and national laws
already provide; that both state and
national laws should provide for tho
rough inspcction of locomotive boilers
in the making and in their use, as the
laws now distinctly fail to do and he
showed himself enough of a Bryanite
to subscribe to the proposition that all
railroad accidents should be invesu
gated by an inspector Of the national
government.
''It is the duty of society," declares
Mr.. Walsh through legislation, to pro-
tect the members of society from cor
poration carelessness."
Mr. Walsh explained and expounded
regarding many other plans and polio
les that he thought it best for the vot-
ing citizenship to adopt, but those stated
give a fair report in the main of the
legislative work he would like to sec
done and assist in doing.
