LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE ASSEMBLE TO HEAR
HIS ADDRESS. NElGHBORING TOWNS WELL REPRESENTED

turned out Tuesday evening to hear
Hon. Thomss II. Carter present his
views on the issues Of the present
political campaign. The leading
republican politicians from the !,
nejghboring towns were present in
large numbers. The Malta Cornet
Band played popular strains while
the people assembled at the Garland
Opera House and when the Senator
was introduced by Mayor John A.
Tressler, very large and enthusiasts
tic audience greeted him.
This was the first Republican rally
of the campaign and no other speak
er in the state could have been more
of an attraction than was this orator
of national reputation.
Senator Carter's presentation of
facts and figures in the past and
present history of Republicanism
were clearly, forciblyand interesting
ly set forth, and accentuated by some
witticism or an occasional bit of
sarcasm hurled at the other fellow.
The tariff question from the repub-
lican viewpoint was lucidly present.
ed-no one could have told you more
clearly of the mission of the postal
savings bank law. Those gigantic oc-
topuses-the trusts, the industries of
the state, the irrigation projects, all
were discussed in such manner
that something new was learned of
each.
In closing his address the Senator
said he could not authoritatively say,
but was in a position to state that the
Milk River project would receive
approximately $4,000, 900 of the $20,-
O00, 900 allotment.
