| = address. The senator came up to
he prairie country from Lewiston,
naking Winchester and Reubens en-
mute to Vollmer. Wednesday morn
| X he went to Nez Perce In an auto
where he spoke briefly and at Kam-
hh he was met by such a crowd and
nthusiastic reception that he was
compelled to deliver a set speech at
TIE city haM and was delayed there
70 long that he had to take the
' train to reach Sites where he was
billed for the night, and could not
stop at Kooslkia as had been original
/ " Intended.
At Sites the senator was met by
large audience and a cordial greet
Ing, the band being out to meet him,
but other more elaborate details were
dispensed with ON account OF the
delay. Thursday the party took din
ner at Winona where the people to
the number of one hundred listened
to an address which was heartily ap-
plauded, the people showing their
friendliness to Mr.. Borah in a most
marked degree.
The night address at Cottonwood
was Interrupted after Mr.. Borah had
spoken but a short time by the re-
ceipt of a message announcing the
death of Senator Hepburn, the sena-
tor declining to continue his speech
further, and drawing his remarks to
close with strong tribute to the
recognized ability and standing of his
senior colleague and his worth and
service to his state and nation.
Friday the senator and party drove
to White Bird and at night he deliv-
cred an address in the public hall
at that place to probably the largest
political gathering ever before assem-
bled in that bustling little stock cen
ter. The crowd, which numbered be-
tween 300 and 400, some of whom
had come fifteen miles from the sur
rounding stock ranches, listened in
wrapt attention to a speech of an
hour and forty minutes and at the
close gathered about the orator and
greeted him with hearty hand clasps
and words of praise.
The senator publicly stated that In
all his travels he had never witness
lea such scenic beauty as that dis
closed to his view from the summit
|d the White Bird mountains, nor
mad he ever been extended a more
cordial and hospitable reception at
he hands of any people than had
|oeen accorded him at the Salmon
river metropolis.
Saturday might at Grangeville, Mr..
|borah was greeted with a crowded
opera house. The local band deliv-
|ered concert ON the street and when
he speaker was introduced from the
|stage by Chairman Evans he faced
4 splendid audience OF between 500
|and 600 of our best citizens eager
10 hear the gifted orator.
The senator announced that as he
would close his tour of the north por
uon of the state with that speech,
mere were a number of matters, per
|sonal and otherwise which he felt
compelled to deal with before TAX
ing his departure for the south, and
ne would therefore digress from his
iormer plan of operation and treat
'opics which he had heretofore ignor-
"a. The speech, which was a mag
nificent effort, appears elsewhere in
'nls issue as reported by steno-
srapher secured for the purpose. but
