United States Senator w. b.
Hepburn opened the campaign in
Bear Lake county by a stirring ad-
dress at Montpelier last Saturday
evening. The Senator spoke well,
and his remarks were we'll received.
After the usual preliminary re-
marks he spoke in part as follows;
"In this country the government
is the people, and the people are the
government. Now, does it not
follow that it Is very essential thai
the relation that the people bear 70
the government is a matter of the
very FIRST Importance to be consider
ed. Could we have more valuable
purpose than that of considering
this question? | cannot conceive
of purpose more important.
Therefore, I visit you every tw 0
years for the purpose of inquiring
with you, of sitting in council with
you, of advising with you, as 10
whether or not the conditions that
surround us are satisfactory condi
tions. As to whether or not they
can be improved, and if so, hoW
we can improve them. You can
not determine these questions. You
cannot determine these question:
scattered as you are IN the every
day walks Of our life. You must
come together and compare ideas,
and refresh your recollection as t.
their relative Importance.
/ Thus we have met tonight for th
purpose of considering the questi on
of government; considering in th
school of politics. Every American
citizen, man or woman, must be
politician in order to insure snc
cessful government. POLITICIANS j
the true sense of the word. Politic
is the science of government.
Reference was here made to tn
nature of foreign governments.
Continuing the Senator said:

made In the quarters OF B Company
