Hepburn, republican United States
Senator, in Troy, the banner republican
precinct of Latah county, was met at
noon Friday by just two republicans OF
Troy, who went as matter of duty
Somebody had to. And he spoke TO an
audience of just 10, and scolded and
inmed because even the mention OF
Taft brought nothing but little ripple
of applause from five. Hepburn opened
his flood of oratory on the great repub-
lican leader. He finished and waited
for the applause. Axel Ramstedt, re-
publican county chairman, Chris Hagen,
republican candidate for county com
missioner, and three local republicans
capped their hands. The audience,
much Of it republican, was cold and 81
lent. Hepburn looked worried. lie
didn't like it and said so. He said:
Evidently, YOU people don't know Mr.
Taft" And then Hepburn went on
But not even the five staunch followers
J of Heyburn, during the entire meeting,
broke silence at the mention OF Taft or
ANYTHING else. Hepburn abused the
Troy News. Said it was an indecens.
S sheet, and had no right going through
e the United States mail. He spent abort
e half an hour OF his senatorial time onf
: this subject although he said the Troy
:, paper didn't amount to anything. Hey
Q burn said in the beginning OF his re-
II marks that he had come to Troy, not to
n make flowery speech, but to put the
u republican voters into line. He said the
&c people had been reading the Troy News,
and had gone sstray. He came to Troy
m to subdue the upruly, and to straightens
ry things out. He intimated that the local.
We republicans, just as he said in his Boise
OF address, didn't know very much, we're
-, =, % incapable of voting intelligently, and he
ob the big republican 1T, was here for the
nd sole purpose OF telling the faithful how
We to ballot. Then Hepburn told the re-
'ct publicans how to vote. He told the
~. audience to vote the ticket straight
tv Even though tho party had nominated a
ng candidate as disreputable as w. f. Still
of linger, or as incompetent as Charley
OF Peterson, he said to vote straight
ess Even il the republican party was in the
NV power of the Potlatch Lumber Company
up John Naylor and that gang, and hao
ep- nominated for the legislature tool o
his the Potlatch Lumber Company, he said
ur- "Vote it straight" Under all condition
and regardless OF what the party did or stoo'
YOU for, or whether the party stood Tor any
thing, Heyburn said it was the duty
AL republicans to vote the ticket suraigh
the from the top clear down to the bottom
VIZ VIZ Heyburn said this, no doubt, because
inc. realizes that the present repuDnca
. in county and state ticket is an avn
tied dirty mess, and hard to swallow. Bs
this Heyburn wants the republicans to swa
lers low it. He advocated yellow dog votir
ond and insisted that it was the duty OF
ter2 nublicans to vote for yellow dogs. /
cog made the most remarkable polihc
able speech ever delivered in Latah count
ency and dspusted every decent republics
ne ',e in his meeting. He sent the people wi
,,ece heard him home completely disgnste
and ashamed of him. He made mo
than score of republicans turn ON
and declare that they would this ye
vote the democratic county and stf
ratio tickets. After his speech an invitati
