SPEECHES
BY CANDIDATES
GOV. s. v. STEWART AND HAR.
RY 3. MITCHELL ADDRESS
A BIG AUDIENCE.
CROWD IS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC

| Gov. Sam v Stewart and Harry B
| Mitchell were given such a reception
last night as indicated clearly the very
high regard in which the democratic
candidates for governor and congress
man. respectively. are held by the
people of Lewistown. The meeting
held at Armory hall. was one of the
most notable held here by either party
during the present campaign. The
large hall was filled early. every seat
being occupied by the time the meet
ing began, and throughout the even.
ing many stood i'll the rear of the
hall. The women We're largely rep.
resented in the audience and they
showed the same keen interest in the
address as the men.
Mitchell on Issues.
II. l.. DeKalb presided and intro
duced as the first speaker Great Falls
favorite citizen. Harry B. Mitchell.
The candidate was given a most cor
dial greeting. Mr. Mitchell is, OF
course, more widely known as a think.
er than as speaker but he has made
rapid progress in this campaign and
his address was logical. commencing
itself particularly to thinking men and
women. He took occasion to pay a
tine tribute to Governor Stewart in
the course of his remarks and devoted
nearly all his speech to review of
the record made by Woodrow Wilson
and the national administration The
policies OF the president formed, he
said, the one great issue in this cam
pa1Rn and the question involved was
whether the American people desired
IA continuation of those policies or
their abandonment. He began his re.
view with reference to the rural cred.
It's law, which he declared to be the
greatest piece of constructive legis.
ation ever enacted on behalf of the
farmer. The federal reserve law,
which replaced the worst banking
legislation possessed by any civilized
nation. was another great achieve
ment OF the democratic administra.
tlon. and then came the president s
plan tor a tariff commission. The
trust regulation law, known as the
clayton act, was briefly discussed, as
well as the income tax
Reasonable preparedness, such as
would give the citizens of every part
of the country confidence, was advo.
Gated, but he also advocated that sort
OF preparedness that will guarantee
better men through Improvement in
their social environment
MIR. Mitchell referred next to the
success Of the democratic administra
tion in this state in breaking up the
race track gambling evil.
One of the greatest personal
achievements OF Woodrow Wilson. he
considered, was the enactment of tho
child labor law. There had been leg.
islation in the various states dealing
with this evil. but nationally the
United States Jagged and it was not
until the president personally took
the matter up with congress and urged
the passage of the law that action
was finally taken.
Woodrow Wilson had also devoted
his energies to securing Justice for
