WALSH TALKS
The Democratic Orator Tells How
Many Good Republicans there
are in the United States.

/. Walsh OF Helena and Dan
Mckay OF Malta At the Opera Hall
on Monday night. Those who at.
tended, however, gave close at
tsntion to the speakers, but the
applause was infrequent and feeble.
Mayor Mathews acted as chaia-
man OF the meeting and introduced
Dan Mckay, who frankly stated;
"Gentlemen, you all know why
am here; ! want your votes, and
! am pleading mostly for Repubh-
can votes. Then he went On to
tell how much good many Repuh
lidan senators and representatives
had done. He wound up by say
ing IN effect Iii you are good"
Republican, vote Tor me. for | am
a good" Democrat.
Hon. / Walsh Of iielena was
then introduced by Mayor Mathews
as candidate tor United States
Senator from Montana. Now Mr..
Walsh may be a candidate but he
could not be elected Senator at
Helena this winter, even II the
Democrats are in majority in lhe
state legislature. Why noi1 Be-
ceuse W. a. Clark. Con. Kelley,
Harry Galway and the Amalgam-
ated Copper Company do not want
Mr. Walsh for Senator. They nave
other views and another candidate.
SO vote Tor Dan Mckay is a vote
tor the Amalgamatdd, because ii
elected he will have TO ABIDE by
the Democratic caucus or vote with
the Republicans.
Mr.. Walsh, While claiming to be
Democrat, made a red hot Re-
publican speech. He had nothing
TO say about what the Democrats
had done in Congress or what they
had attempted TO do. His whole
talk was about what the good"
Republicans had done and what
the bad Republicans had done and
had not done. Senator Dixon he
designated as good" Republican
but Senator Carter was very
ba-a-a-d Republican.
IL is easy to be seen why Senat-
or Carter is a "bad" Republican
in the eyes OF Mr.. walsh, because
our senior senator is up for re-
election and Mr.. Walsh would like
TO wear the Senatorial toga him.
self. III he cannot wear il him.
self he would like to throw il upon
the shoulders OF some other good
Democrat, presumably Con. Kelley
or w. A. Clark.
The Searchlight ventures to say
that II Senator Dixon was up Tor
reelection at this time, he would
be the "bad" republican instead
OF Senator Carter. Ii makes .
difference whose JOB you are after.
The Democratic leaders are all
envions OF the great popularity OF
our great Senior Senator, Thomas
IL. Carter MIR. Walsh named a
nail dozen oil the most influential
members OF the United States
Senate, and included Tom Carter
as one OF them. But, according to
MIR. Walsh. these six senators were
all ..bad" Republicans.
Then Mr.. Walsh went on to tell
the citizens of eastern Montana
that they must not look at the re-
suits obtained ior Montana by
Senator Carter, OF course an in.
tiuential senator could obtain re-
sults-and Montana was entitled to
results-but they must vote for
.'reformera regardless OF results.
The Searchlisht has been per.
fec,lv fair in giving a brief outline
OF Mr., Walsh's speech.
We will leave 1t to any Demo-
cTst IN the audience OF IL was not
a red hot progressive Republican
speech with the exception OF his
roast u Tom Carter, whose robes
he thinks he is big enough to wear.
We will leave il TO any Democrat
present II he said anything in favor
OF any Democrat except himself
and Dan Mckay. Verv briefly he
also mentioned X o. Slet,e,
Democratic candidate for Repre-
sentative. Here Mr.. Walch had
a chance to make hit with Cul.
bertson Democrats, BY praising
their local candidate. bur he was
too much engrossed IN himself to
embrace the opportunity.
The Democratic candidates seem
to be all alike in this one regard.
Hartman, Dan Mckay. Walsh AMI
the rest OF them all make the same
plea, please, Mr. Republican,
vote for me, for am a good"
