ALL FOR BRYAN
Big Ratification Meeting Held
Here Saturday Night
ALL PRAISE THE NOMINEE
Past Forgotten = D 9 m OCraCy
Will be United

II any one entertains the idea
for one minute that the democratic
party of this county is hopelessly
divided let him discourage the
thought at once. Saturday night
at the meeting called for the
purpose of ratifying the nomi-
nation of Bryan and Kern, held
by the democrats of Grangeville
and vicinity, was conclusive proof
of a united democracy. Although
the meeting was gotten up on
short notice and advertised but a
few hours before, the court room
was we'll filed with enthusiastic
believers in the principles of the
great party Of Jefferson and Jack
son. Noticeable in the audience
were many who have followed the
banners of the opposite party in
times past but men who today
have grown to learn the great
truth of the principles Of govern
ment as taught by Bryan.
They are not alone in this belief as
one of the greatest men their
party has ever known, Theodore
Roosevelt, has found by practice
the soundness Of Mr.. Bryan's
teachings
But getting back to the meet
ing-as stated before it was for the
purpose of ratification of the
party's choice for first and second
place on the national ticket.
The meeting was called to order
by M. Reese Hattabaugh, who
after stating its object asked that a
chairman be selected to preside.
l. G. Hattabaugh, man who has
fought the battles Of his party for
years, was UNANIMOUSLY elected.
In few we'll chosen words the
chairman thanked the people fol
the honor shown and called tn,
first speaker, Judge Vineyard.
In fifteen minute speech the
Judge spoke of our nominee in !
most convincing manner. Short
speeches were also delivered b,
A. F. Parker, Judge Scales, M
Reese Hattabaugh, Atty. Casady
Judge Fulton, w. w. Brown ant
others. Every speech smacke'
with genuine democracy and tn
enthusiasm knew no bounds. l
was such democratic meeting al
our forefathers would have enjoy
ed. The party is going to presen
solid front to the enemy thi
year and put Idaho county bac
in the democratic ranks where
rightfully belongs. BY the tim
the state convention is over W
will have settled our little diffel
ences and will turn our attentio
and direct our efforts in the char
nels where they properly belong.
The program was intersperse
} with several patriotic song by
quartette. The last number,
campaign song entitled "Let u
all lineup for Bryan" was greete
with cheer after cheer.
) just before adjournment
, committee was appointed to pre-
pare and forward q set of resoll
! tions pledging Idaho county
Bryan. Another big count
rally will be held at later da
! and preparations are being mac
now for the same. 1t will b
.. duly advertised when the exa
date is determined on, which wi
be after the county convention.

Many Telephones

Over seventy miles of telephone
wire was taken out from the Big
Buffalo this week to be used in the
construction of country lines. 1,
is surprising the number of farm
ers who have phones that are trib'
utary to 'Grangeville. We find
upon investigation there are be-
tween four and five hundred ranch
ers who can be reached from this
city by telephone. 1t is now pos
sible to talk from this city to the
cattlemen on Joseph Plains ant
vicinity.

LOVE OF OMNlPOTENT
EvANGEL!S1'S THEME
C. c. Smith Addresses Interested
Congregation at First Meth
odjst Church.

An interested audience gathered last
evening at the First Methodist church
to listen to an able address by c. c.
Smith on the Love of Almighty God.
He said the love of God is beyond the
conception of man, greater than any
earthly love, for God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
Son that whosoefer believeth on Him
should have eternal life. So, then,
Gods love is worldwide. Then, too,
Gods love is personal in its applica-
ton. Gods love is everlasting, the
same from the creation even to the
present time. His love is unchanging,
absolutely inseparable from its object.
Gods love is constraining in its influ-
ence; that is, it puts us under obliga-
ton to Him. The eliminating thought
was that God commendeth His love
towards us.

WANT TIME LIMIT EXTENDED
Railway Delegation Urges Postpone
ment in Nine Hour Act.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The operating
vice presidents of IL or Is great lines
of American railways conferred yes
terday with President Roosevelt and
the interstate commerce commission
as to securing an amendment to the
act limiting the hours of service of
employees. The act referred to is
known as the nine hour law, which is
to become effective March 4. 1t is ex-
pected the commission will extend the
time limit or recommend to congress
action TO this effect. The delegation
presented to President Roosevelt ar
guments in support of an extension of
the time when the law should go into
effect. After discussion the president
referred the committee to the inter
state commerce commission, that body
under the law, apparently having the
necessary authority to accede to the
wishes of the committee if the request
were deemed proper.
