been doing since Mr.. Bryan's trium-
phant speaking tour of the east. They
are thoroughly alarmed, he said, as
they have reason to be.
Compares Norris and Donlan.
Mr.. Hall, after touching briefly on
national issues, referred in compli-
mentary terms to each of the state cam
didates present. Governor Norris he
characterized as ''sclolar, polished
gentleman and statesman" and
said the state of Montana had reason
to feel proud that it was represented
by so able man at the recent confer
ance of governors that convened at
the White House by invitation of
President Roosevelt. He referred to
his townsman, Mr.. Donlan, the repub-
lican nominee for governor, as a
neighbor and a friend. "He can run
a sawmill, measure lumber and man
age drive, and Governor Norris can
not do these things" the speaker de-
clared, but Donlan is as untitled to be
governor as Norris is eminently quail
flied.
Compliments State Candidates.
Speaking of Miles Romney, demo
cratic nominee for secretary of state,
Mr.. Hall said: "As many friends as
Miles Romney has in Ravalli cou nty,
he has an equal number in Missoula
county, in Silver Bow county and in

BRYANS MAGIC NAME IS REPEATEDLY APPLAUDED|
In Mastery Address, the Governor Elucidates the Re-
forms With Which His Name Is Linked
Receives Open Pledges of Republican
Support While in the City.

Speaking before a crowd that taxed
the ca apacity of the opera house and
cheered wildly at every mention of
Bryan's name, Governor Edwin L.
Norris, John H. Tolan, Chas. H.
Hall and Fl. G. Stiff opened the DEM
ocratic campaign in Hamilton Mon
day night. The enthusiasm knew
no bounds, and it was the ominous
enthusiasm that port ends a sweeping
democratic victory in November.
The splendid audience was made up
of residents from every corner of
.Ravalli county; democrats and repuf-
1icans alike came from Darby and
:Stevensville; and the aggressive,
vigorous way in which the rally was
conducted, in contrast with the poorly
attended Donlan-Pray meeting, made
an impression that will not be forgot
ten during the campaign.
Wagner as Chairman.
Attorney c. S. Wagner acted as
chairman of the meeting and spoke
felicitously in introducing the speak
ers. 'Charley'' Hall of Missoula
spoke first. He did not know he was
billed to talk. but he is veteran cam
paisner and with his usual ginger,
delivered snappy, catchy address.
1t is an unusual thing, he said, for
the republicans TO be constantly
claiming that "Ohio is safe in the
republican column" as they have

elected and supported by a democratic
legislature. HIS name is already
linked with three popular reforms,
and he elucidated them. He advocate S
the administration of forest reserve S
and grazing privileges by the state of
Montana and not by the national gov =
ernment, and he wants legislation to
this end. In Ravalli county this re-
form certainly should prove popular. =.
Guarantee of Bank Deposits.
He advocates also law guaran-
teeing deposits in state banks,
similar to the law in opera
tion in Oklahoma. The republica n
party in Kansas and Nebraska is
clamoring for such a law. 1t is the
most popular reform now before the
country. Under its operation panics
will be prevented, as depositors will
have confidence in the banks and no
runs will occur. But even if a panic
should come, in general crash, the
money belonging to the depositors in
failed bank would be paid in full.
A tax is levied on the banks by which
guarantee fund is raised to pay the
depositors in failed banks.
The governor is also identified with
a policy for the conservation and care
full administration of state lands. The
coal lands belonging to the state, he
said, are of immense value, and the
sale of these will ultimately almost
wipe out the general school tax.
Governor Norris address was mas
terly and persuasive. He is a reform
er, and his proposed reforms appeal
ed to the people who heard him. His
eloq 1ence and sound arguments won
him many votes, and from the nunb Der
of republicans who openly pledged
their support to him during his short
stay, it is absolutely certain he will
not only be overwhelmingly elected,
but that he will carry Ravalii county
as we'll.
Bryan's Magic Name.
An impressive feature of the rally
was the great enthusiasm that Bryan's
name evoked. The spell of the magic
name is evidently still the same.
Scores of republicans in Ravalli coun-
ty who followed Bryan with devotion
in 1896 and 1900 are again openly and
actively committed to his cause, and
they were present to join in the APP
plause OF the democrats, who always
idolized Bryan.
Governor Norris and party left yes
terday morning for a campaign trip
through Granite county.
The Hamilton Cornet band provided
music for the rally, playing "Dixie"
and other of the democratic selections
that never fail to enthuse.

every county in Montana" He refer
red to Mr.. Romney's qualifications,
and plimented him in f1attering
terms, as did MIR. Tolan and Mr..
Norris who followed.
Mr.. Hall paid a pretty tribute to
Mr.. Tolan, democratic nominee for at
torney general. "He came to Missou-
la and won one of the prettiest red
apple girls we had" declared the
speaker amid applause.
A. ]. Violette, democr attic candidate
for railroad commissio ner, Mr.. Hall
said, is graduate of Ann Arbor, and
a young man splendidly qualified for
the Office he is seeking.
Henry c. Stiff, associate candidate
for district judge with Henry L.
Myers, was complimented by Mr.. Hall
as lone of the best lawyers 1 ever
knew"
Mr.. Stiff was introduced and in a
short talk said he believed the judic-
iary should be considered apart from
party lines and promised if elected
Judge to devote all his ability and
time to the duties of his Office.
Tolan Scores Big Hit.
John H. Tolan, in short, brilliant
talk made a decided hit. A young
man, Mr.. Tolan has achieved great
distinction. His humorous stories
kept the audience in an uproar, but he
also showed himself able to handle
the deeper questions of national poll
tics. His earnest manner was strik-
ing, and he convinced his hearers that
he is sincere young man who wants
to see justice done and the laws of
Montana impartially enforced.
Governor Norris Refers to Toole.
The crowd grew impatient to hear
Governor Norris, and there was pro-
longed applause when he stepped to
the front of the stage. His election
as lieutenant governor four years ago
resulted in his succession to the gov
ernOr'S Ohce when GOV. 1Oole resign
ed last spring. With feeling and
great Difference Mr.. Norris referred to
this, and there was applause at the
mention of the name of the most pop.
ular public man in the history of Mon
tana. The applause broke out anew
when the governor mentioned the
magic name of William Jennings
Bryan and told of the great fight he
had made in behalf of the plain people
of this country.
