Judge McClernan said that the pro-
prieties would not permit him to make
a political speech but he spoke briefly
of the pleasure which it afforded him
to visit Fergus county and pledged
himself to the best possible conduct of
the office of associate justice in case of
his election.
Like Mr.. Walsh, Judge McClernan
made a splendid impression upon all
who heard him speak.
This concluded the speaking for the
evening and the crowd was dismissed
with band selection.
Below are given excerpts form the
address given by Mr.. Walsh.
After expressing the pleasure it gave
him to visit Fergus county and stating
his belief that there is not more ia
vored region in the entire west. Mr..
Walsh launched into a discussion Of
the republican claim that we should
"let we'll enough alone" and stand pat
on the present administration of pub
lie affairs.
He showed that while the United
States ia enjoying the greatest meas
ure of prosperity at this time, the
! whole world is also sharing in this
great tide of prosperity, drawing the
conclusion that the claims of the re-
publicans that their party control being
; responsible for the existing good times
Is the merest buncombe, advanced SIM
ply to catch votes.
Our wonderful advancement in all
lines Of industry during the last ten
; years, Mr.. Walsh stated, is something
[ which could not have been prevented
! under any circumstances.
Mr.. Walsh next took up the subject
of the vast accumulation of the wealth
in the hands of the few and showed
that the favoritism practiced by the
republican party in the arrangement of
the high protective. tariff schedules Is
chiefly responsible for this growing
evil.
| You owe to Mr.. Carnegie no graft
i tude for. the libraries which he has
built said the speaker" for each and
j every one Of you contributed some of
the money which he has donated for
these new library buildings"

Excellent Impression--County Attorney Race Warm

A CoMPA PARISON

In their desperate efforts to defe at
Roy r. Ayers for county attorney,
Frank Smith and his friends are re-
sorting to all sorts of tactics. They
have attacked Ayers record.
They have also said that he has
been a very expensive man for Fer
gus county.
Furthermore, the argument has
been used with democrats that he
has called In republican attorneys to
assist him in trying his cases.
Now, let us see just what the facts
are.
First as to Ayers record.
The records Of the district court
shows that since Ayers took charge
Of the office of county attorney, "a
defendants appered for trial.
OF this number he has obtained
conviction against 33. there being
BUT ONE acquittal.
torney general of the state Of Mon
tana will show that this is the best
record shown by any county attor-
ney in the state during the past two
years. %
Mr. Charles N. Pray. now the re-
publican candidate for congress, held
the record as the best states prose-
him as the premier states attorney
AS a matter of comparison:
During the last two years in which
Mr.. Smith acted as county attorney
for Fergus county, twenty Defend
ants appeared for trial and Mr..
Smith succeeded in convicting but
l6 of the number, four being acquit-
ted.
1t may thus be seen that Mr.. Ay.
ers' record is much better than Mr..
Smiths record as a public prose-
cutor.
In the administration of both Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Belden the attorney
general found it expedient to come
over to assist in the trial of certain
difficult cases.
The attorney general has never
been inside of Freugs county since
Mr.. Ayers entered the office Of coun.
ty attorney.
Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Huntoon, chairman
of the republican central committee
and other republican supporters OF
Mr.. Smith have said that Mr.. Ayers
administration has been a costly one.
The records show that $3.50 has
been paid to attorneys to assist Mr..
Ayers in the trial Of his cases. Both
Of the cases in which he received as
sistance paid for by Fergus county
were Murder cases. In suchI cases 1t
Is Invariably the rule to have some-
one assist the county attorney.
One of these cases, however, the
Koch case, was properly Mr.. Bel
denis case as 1t was first tried dur
Ing that gentleman's term Of office
and came up during Mr.. Ayers term
for new trial.
Taken in proportion to the percent
age of convictions obtained. Ayers
administration of the Office has been
he most economical in the history Of
Fergus county.
These facts are well known to Mr..
Smith when he states to the con-
trary.
Mr.. Ayers has never applied for
assistance in any case. In the sher.
man case. Mr.. Belden was appoint.
ed to take part in the case without
any request on the part of Mr.. Ay-
ers.
In number of stock cases, Belden
appeared simply as the paid attor-
ney' Of the state stock association.
The record of Roy E. Ayers. is op-
en- to the inspection of all. He is
ready to stand or fall on that record.

buildings Of Hay and Wool.

At the national exposition at Toron.
to, Ontario, was a good sized building
composed entirely of hay. Baled hay
was used, and was cut into blocks and
built up just like stone. Inside was a
great exhibition of wheat, maize and
other grains of the great northwest.
Just as Canada lives by hay and grain,
so the chief source of Australia
wealth is wool. To commemorate this
fact, a magnificent arch Of wool
spanned one of the Melbourne streets
on the occasion of the Inauguration of
the commonwealth. Thirty-f1ve thou
sand dollars worth Of baled wool went
to make this arch, which was deco
rated with rams heads and flags, and
a great inscription: Welcome to the
Land of the Golden Fleece"

Of young Halsey Corwin, who has been
disinterred from obscurity by the re-
cent theft of diamonds valued at $780,

His father was one of the prominent
men of Brooklyn, and when he died
three years ago he left the youngster
more than a million dollars in cash.
He became known as the "angel of
Coney Island" You may imagine
what that means. No one went thirsty
who knew him. He married the young
woman who now bears his name after
a betrothal dinner at which $4,000
worth of wine was opened. He heaped
rare jewels upon her and squandered
his fathers fortune as though it had
no end. His wife no longer recognizes
his existence. He is working for $25

the thousand dollars. If any one re-
