p. MONROE SMOCK SPEAKS

p. Monroe Smock, Progressive
candidate for congress spoke at the
Star Theater Monday night to small
audience. The speaker is the same
that delivered the address at the
Fairgrounds on the 4th of July, and
those who heard him know that he is
good speaker, but his lack of logic
to present at the meeting Monday
night left him under the criticism of
being bag of wind. He fused with
the old parties and made fun of presi-
dent Taft, extolled the virtues Of
Roosevelt, represented that he was
the only good executive the nation
has had for a generation, was unfair
in his criticism and unreliable in his
statements. He forgot to admit some
of the monumental plumbers that
Roosevelt made in tying up Idaho in
forest reserves that Taft has been
working to undo, and had the assur-
ance to say that 1t was under the
Roosevelt administration that the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
established. 1t had been in operat-
ion twenty years before Roosevelt be-
came vice-president, but Smock pro-
badly doesn't know the difference;
he just sailed along wholesaling
statements and criticisms.
Mr.. Smock seems to have been a
Bryan Democrat; he stated that his
first vote was for Byran, his second
vote was for Bryan and his fourth
vote was for Bryan. He said in his
conversation before the meeting open
ed that he well remembered the dis
tress of the last Democratic admins
tration. He lived in Iowa, and his
people had to sell oats at nine cents
bushel, and used corn for fuel be-
cause of the low price and impossi-
bility of getting hold of money to
buy coal.
One thing that aroused resentment
in many persons in the audience was
his statement by inference that a Re-
publican or a representative of the
Republicans as party had fired the
shot that wounded Col Roosevelt. He
was berating the two old parties, and
was scoring the Republicans for
stealing the nomination" from Roose
welt, then he followed with the state
ment, "Then they tried to kill him by
firing bullet into his breast"
Men of various political views who
listened to him expressed disgust for
his generalities and unfairness, and
said he is not the type of man that
Idaho needs to represent the state in
Washington. "
