The Whitefish pilot., 1912-10-31
DEMOCRATS
FINAL BLOW
THEY HELD VERY SUCCESSFUL
MEETING IN SPITE OF AID.
VERSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

The whole force of democratic
county candidates swarmed into the
city Monday umheraldcd and unsung
The press manager got his dates
mixed some way, or else forgot that
Whitefish was on the map, for no
notice of the meeting had been CIV
EN- out here, consequently they were
Handicapped in getting out a crowd.
As soon as this was known the Pilot
force was Immediately engaged to
get out q let of posters and soon the
town was covered with them, but
1t was late in the afternoon and the
weather was bad, so that was a
good excuse for the small crowd.
They are an optimistic bunch tho,
and their ardOur was not in the
least dampened by the damp wealth
Ter.
Tenn Long was one of the main
speakers of the evening. He came
up in the snow and sleet from Kali
ispell in an automobile and had
such narrowing experiences that he
forgot his speech and therefore re-
quested that he be put last on the
program in order that he might have
lime to regain his composure. After
listening to F. B. Reinking and x.
X. Stout run off a couple reels OF
the finest mixed dope one ever lis
tened to, he gained an inspiration
knd wound up by giving talk hhat
stirred up all the applause that was
possible by the hand full Of people
present
City Attorney Merle G. Greene
presided over the meeting and in
troduced the speakers F. B. Reink-
Ing, the candidate for public ad-
administrator, was the first ON the
program and starting at the head
OF the list revied the whole ticket,
speaking for those that were un-
fortunate enough to be absent and
for those who we're not born with
the gift OF cratory as he was. Accord
ing to his story there is not a man
on the democratic ticket that is not
perfectly fitted for the position for
which he Is aspiring and will be
able to serve the people of this
county for their best interests. Mr..
.Reinking Is one of the youngest men
at the bar in Kalispell and is really
a Whitefis'h man as this is practi-
caky his home. He has been serv-
ing as public administrator since the
death of Mr.. Swaney and the voters
of Whitefdsh will no doubt be glad
TO return him to that office.
John Densmore, of Poison, made
q Short speech i'm his own behalf He
wants to go to the legislature. So
does Dusty" Roades and Mcdonald
They all made short remarks.
After these gentlemen were thru,
X. K. Stout, the present county at
torney was introduced. Upon the
mention of hds name there was
loud applause from the audience
which showed that "X" evidently
has a pretty good standing in this
city. He made a few brief remarks
in his own behalf and then drifted
into a line of flowery oratory en- the
national issues that are at stake.
When he got through it sounded as
If every one in the house was a
democrat.
Tom Long followed and made his
maiden speech CT the campaign. Tom
has been laying low this year and
attending strictly to business. In
fact he has been confined so closely
that he almost forget that there
was such a thing as a political cam
paign going on until he was induced
to come to Whitefish 1t was like
the smell of fresh blood, and the cid
war horse was soon wading Through
fire and birthstone in expounding the
doctrine of democracy, and ended by
leaving the question up to the peo-
PIE themselves to decide at the bal
lot box next Tuesday who should be
the savior of the country.
