BIG REPUBLICAN RALLY
TorchIi0ht Procession, 6onfires, Band
Music and Oratorical Program.

Music and oratoricaI Program.
The republican rally held in this
city Saturday evening was apparent.
ly planned with view to eclipsing
that of the political opposition on Fri.
day highland it was clearly sue.
cess in this direction. For spectacu-
lar effect and novelty of arrangement,
it was the biggest demonstration or.
ganized in this part of Montana for
many years.
The out door exercises consisted of
a torchlight procession of about eighty
young men, headed by the Fort Benton
band, a long string of automobiles
making up the rear part of the parade.
Large bonfires were burning at sever
al points along the line of march, and
rockets, red fire, bombs and other ac-
cessories contributed to the noise and
variety of Illuminating effects.
There was standing room only at
the opera house when the oratorical
program began. Captain Geo. H.
Stevens, republican candidate for state
senator, presided at the meeting, and
in few appropriate opening remarks
made effective comment upon the re-
cord of the republican party.
The principal speech of the evening
was made by Hon. j. w. Speer, Of
Great Falls, who undertook to expose
the extravaganza of the party in pow
er and compared it's record with what
was promised in it's party platform.
The speaker quoted a bewildering ar
ray of figures, in which billions be-
came badly mixed up with millions Of
dollars. Mr.. Speer was followed by
Hon. H. B. Duff, of Dillon, in whirl-
wind speech that occupied very little
time but which bristled with good
points and humorous illustrations that
won applause from the crowd.
The feature of the evening was the
ovation extended to Hon. Charles N.
Pray, who happened to be in town
Saturday evening, and who reluctant
llv yielded to the solicitations of his
friends to make few impromptu re-
marks at the meeting. Mr.. Pray re.
ceived most enthusiastic greeting
from his old-time Fort Benton friends.
In few eloquent remarks, the form
er congressman discussed some of the
more important aspects of the politi-
cal situation, the closing portion Of his
speech consisting of kindly mention
of the various local candidates on the
republican ticket.
The rally, in all it's features, was a
brilliant finish to one of the liveliest
campaigns in local history.

WELCOMED TOM STOUT
Montana Congressman Receives Warm
Greeting In Fort Benton.


The cordial reception extended to
Congressman Tom Stout by his Fort
Benton friends Friday evening was
very much appreciated by the guest
of honor. Mr.. Stout expressed himself
to that effect before leaving here Sat
urday morning, stating that his Fort
Benton visit will be remembered as
one of the most pleasant incidents of
the campaign.
The warmth of the greeting was
manifested by bonfires, fireworks,
booming of cannon, band music and an
automobile parade in which large
number of Mr.. Stout's political sup
porters and personal friends took part.
Following the parade, there was big
rally at the opera house, in which was
assembled an audience that exceeded
the seating capacity of the building.
Hon F.. E. Stranahan, who presided
at the meeting, confined his remarks
principally to eulogistic reference to
the record of President Wilson, who
was described as a patriotic American
citizen of high purpose and ideals, and
who deserves the gratitude and en-
dorsement of the country at large. The
chairman then introduced Congress
man Stout as the principal speaker Of
the evening.
, In beginning his address, Mr.. Stout
disclaimed any intention to misrepre-
sent his political opponents or to treat
them unfairly. He would not claim
a monopoly of wisdom, patriotism or
honesty for the democratic party, but
was free to acknowledge that repub-
licans and members of other political
parties were equally patriotic and hon
est in their belief. All of us desire
the best interests of the American peO.
pie, and the difference between the
opposing political parties is simply a
question as to the methods by which
the best results can be accomplished
Mr.. Stout made speech that ap
peared to please his audience. He
avoided dry statistics and extended
argument, contenting himself with g
homely talk upon some of the ques
tions that, in his opinion, affect the
welfare of the nation. The closing
portion of his remarks consisted o.
a word picture of his trip from Wash
ington to Montana a few days ago, ir
which he passed through 1000 miles
of country dotted with comfortable
American homes occupied by familie:
of American citizens engaged in peace
full pursuits. Contrasting these happ!
conditions with the distress and suff
ering that afflict the citizens of man!
other countries, the speaker declared
that American citizens have abundan
cause for gratitude and should appre
ciate the efforts of the administration
in international affairs. The .peake
was literally applauded during mis- re
!, marks.

In the matter of initiative measures
and proposed constitutional amend

deficient, but from the figures at hand
it appears that a majority of the
ChOuteau county voters were against
the various propositions.

DIDN'T OBSERVE NEW YEARS
Puritans Regarded the Celebration as Heathenish and un-Christian
 Rite.

The sole record of the observance of the New Year by the Pilgrims in the new world, named New England, was most prosaic, most brief: We went to work betimes." Many of the good Puritan ministers thought the celebration or even notice of the day in any way sayored of improper and un-Christian reverence for the heath en god, Janus. Yet these English set tiers came from land where New Years eve and New Years day were second in importance and domestic observance only to Christmas Throughout every English county New Years eve was always celebrat- ed; in many 1t was called by the pretty name of Singing Fen. from the custom which obtained of singing the last of the Christmas carols at that time.
