This done, Judge Madison was
called forward and he responded
very pleasantly. He paid a very
high compliment to Medicine
Lodge and Barber county people,
told a few good stories and then
got down to business His speech
dealt almost entirely with the
trust and transportation problems
and it was one that men of all
parties can endorse. The Judge
tried to make it plain that he
wasn't talking in a demo-pop trend
but those of us who remember the
speeches made on these questions,
in days gone by, by our late and
beloved Jerry Simpson, ex-senator
w. y. Harris, John w. Leedy,
Harry Lands and scores of others
who might be named, saw strik-
ing similarity between their logic
and that of Judge Madison. 1t af-
forded US a great deal of pleasure to
see some fifty republicans gathered
around the speaker wearing broad
smiles, drinking in apnrovingly
all Inc Judge had to say and seas
oning the populistic utterances of
the speaker with liberal applause.
But while we were thus gra tilted
our mind wandered back stimuli
taneously to the campaign of 1902
when Senator Harris was here and
spoke to some Of these same men.
How they sneered at it and called
it calamity. Then it was to them
unthinkable that a few men were
50 intrenched in government af-
fairs as to control prices and prac-
tlcally control the business of the
country. But now comes an idol
of their party with the same mes
sage and they are not only ready
but eager to accept it as the truth.
Surely men are easily swayed
by political leaders. But for all
that, ii. was good speech and we
are quite sure that the Judge has
been a student of VIM. ]. Bryan's
able governmental teachings. And
yet, If the ideas which Judge Madi-
son advocates are republican ideas,
if the republican party has really
deserted the trust influence in spite

paign contributions, and come over
to the side Of the people, will he
explain for what party the rulers
Of the United States senate are
speaking-such men as Foraker
and Aldrich, for instance, who run
the "Millionaires' Club" If it is
the purpose of the republican party
to take up democratic demands at
this time, and if they are sincerely
striving to carry these plans into
effect, broad minded democrats
will extend glad hand and bid
them god-speed, but it is a little
ungrateful of our republican friends
to not give the democrats credit
for the education received.
Following Judge Madison's ad-
dress, Judge P. B. Gillett, who
will again receive the nomination
for judge of this judicial district at
the hands of his party, in April,
was called forward and his sp eech
was also favorably received. He
said his record in the past would
be his record in the future, if re-
elected, and concluded by compli-
menting Ed Madison and thanking
the convention.
Thus ended the love feast and a
