The meeting furnished the hveiiest
evening in the history of Smelter
md was distinctly triumph Tor the
panuhlicans. The Newlands meet

tsndant of both declared the preced-

number of Smelter Republicans
met the special train run down from
Ely and East Ely. arriving at Smeit =
at s O'Clock. and headed by the Fly
brass band escorted the visitors with
a torehlight procession 20 the main
street. where | ! minute band con-
cert was held. Following this the
crowd surged 20 the American Trad
ing hall. whore excellent prepare
tions had been made for the gather
ing by the boarding house manager
and the young ladies of the place.
whose courtesy during the evening
placed everybody under Obligations.
FIANIGANS GOOD SPEECH.
John Bouse called the meeting 20
order in a speech which received
hearty applause. He concluded by
calling Senator Comins TO the chair,
that gentleman accepting the honor
in a few we'll put words and intro
ducing Hon. =. l.. Flanagan. The lat
ter warmed TO his audience and made
an excellent speech. He declared
conviction from what he had seen in
the state aud from reports that he
had that 1t was assuredly Republican
this year and expressed confidence
that two years from ncw every DEM
ocrat in state Office will be put out
of commission. Touching upon ma
tional issues he pointed out that con-
fidenoe is necessary TO the acquire
ment of money for the building up Of
reduction works and the operation
of mines and demonstrated that such
confidence will not prevail If the
Democracy is put in power. Refer
ring TO Mr.. Newlands he showed that
while the senator claims the father
ship and the responsibility for en-
actment of the irrigation laws, as
matter of fact he played but small
part in their creation, which was
made by a Republican administra-
ton. Touching upon corporations.
he declared that he had long put
aside the notion that the entry of
capital for the DEVELOPMENT of the
resources of the state should be
fought or obstructed He believed
in a just deal for both capital and la :.
Dor and held that only in such way
could progress be made. His own
record as worker and his friend
liness to labor he conyincingly set
forth. His speech was frequently
and vigorously applauded.
FOR THE MAN OF DEEDS.
The speech of Judge Hugh Brown
was short but to the point, ani made
the usual splendid impression. He
declared that In Taft and Bryan,
each with their millions of stalwart
followers, Americans had occasion for
.seg1 No
looking upon the present campaign
from a strictly business standpoint
and doing SO could not accept the
orist In preference to the practical
man of action that Taft Is.
ASTONISHING GROWTH.
Col. Maxson placed the audience
in excellent humor In the course OF
brief but witty address, in which
he stated that he was most certainly
not In the campaign for the fun of
il, as had been intimated in some
parts of the state, and would be
much disappointed If he happened to
fall behind in the running, of which
there is no present prospect Refer
ring to his trip through the district
during the day, Col Maxson declared
that If Roosevelt had traversed the
section some years back, as he had,
and then had been over IL with him
on yesterday, the president would
have had nothing to say about race
suicide in White Pine county. The
growth made in all ways appeared
astonishing to the visitor and he urg-
ed that his hearers unite in voting
the Republican ticket this fall that
the great work under way here might
proceed without interruption
FITCH CLOSES MEETING.
Col. Tom Fitch made the closing
speech. As with all of the efforts
of this eloquent campaigner. 1t was
a masterpiece and wcn round after
round OF hearty applause. His ar
roionment of the Democratic party
