Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1912-10-31
GOVERNOR HAWLEY
Speaks to Large and Appreciative
Audience at Jerome

at Grand View and jerome, but on ac-
count of the terrible condition OF the
roads, made almost impossible by the
rain and SNOW, and after several attempts
TO reach Grand View, il was found inn
possible for him to do so. The ordinary
run of one hour from ShOshOne TO jerome
was extended to period OF three and
one-hali hours time, and after many
troubles and trials the Governor was
finally safely landed at Jerone's lavorite
place for public gatherings, the Amuse-
nent Hall. The very appearance OF
Andy Newmans' powerful auto told the
story OF the trip. Besmeared with mud
from the radiator to the tail lights, top,
seats and cushions. Covered with mud
and water only went to show the much |
appreciated effort OF Mr.. Newman to
assist the Governor to fill his appoint |
nent at Jerome The committee on
arrangement tried, in fact insisted that
the Governor cancel his dates at Grand
View and jerome, but to this the Gov
ernor refused, stating that he had been
billed to make the people an address,
and if possible vas going to keep his
promise. Several hundred people had
gathered at tine hall, and although the
condition Of roads CAUSED "a two hour
delay from schedule time, all waited
patiently knowing that AN extra effort
WAS being made by the Governor and
his party to reach Jerome. And well
could they afford to wait. Immediately
after his arrival the distinguished Coy
crnor was introduced 10y r. ,. Frazer
Probably no speech eyer delivered III
Jerome, or ever will he that was marked
with more close attention 10y his hearers
than the heart to heart talk delivered by
the Governor. Carey Act troubles were
, thoroughly gone into, and the frank,
honest and fearless manner in which they
e were dealt with, only again convinced
his hearers OF his personal interest III
them, connected with matters OF 50
r much importance to every settler OF the
\ tract.
: The question OF final disposal OF the
/ North Side matter which was To have
come up on Oct 3, and again on the
e 10th before the State Land Board was
i thoroughly and satisfactorily explained,
{ showing that al all times the Governor
O was ready and anxious Tor the matter tn
e come up ior final disposition. In tact
Il extraordinary efforts had been made on
the part oi the Governor to bring thest
matters To- a focus; however on account
ol tine disposition OF other members o
IA the Land Board his plans We're blocked
Right here il becomes necessary To- stat,
that the other members OF the Boar,
are oi different political faith, and how
very necessary it becomes To his Homo
ii to elect at the coming election member

81 that no political scheme can he even
suggested to stop the wheels ni Justice
The Governor up to this time had con
fined his remarks exclusively to the sub
iect most dear To- the heart OF every set
tier on the tract. and the truth OF hi

to close hi, address when it WAS an
nounced that his train was late, where

ers long enough to say few words O
