Crowd at Deary
When they reached Deary they
found the streets lined with automO-
biles and rigs, word of the coming Of
the governor and his staff having pre-
ceded them A crowd of about 200
persons were assembled on the main
street of the village. The governor
was introduced to the people assembl-
ed by ]. A. Harsh. The governor call
ed upon Rev. Munson, who was pres
ent, for an invocation.
In addressing the people the gov
ernor urged the need of patriotic sac
rife, to forget small individual and
community troubles as seemed to ex-
ist at this time, as they were small
and could wait until the future to be
settled; that the one big thing before
all the people was the war in which
the nation was engaged; that grain,
lumber and other resources were need
ed by the federal government and it
was up to all to see that it obtained
the same. that no one had the right to
slow up or the right to cause others
to diminish their output against their
will: that any individual, or organiza-
ton, that attempted to do so was inSS
terfering with the civil rights of otherSS
and the civil law of Idaho; that this71
civil law must and would be maintain
ed. He urged upon the people to or
ganize and to assist the sheriff in
peace and quiet; that if
he, the Sheriff, could not do this, then
he should call upon the governor Of
the state ,and if the state authorities
we're not able to cope with the situa-
ton, that he would call upon the ma
tional government and law and order |
would prevail.
The remarks of the governor were !
we'll received and he was assured that
Sheriff Campbell would receive hearty |
from the people of the |
Deary section. There was little evil
lence of the presence of the |. w. W.'s |
among the people assembled in the
