was a sincere desire to oust the

courthouse to robbing a bank" The
general made this expression Of party
fealty after telling Of the disgraceful
activities Of the democrats for the
past twenty years in stealing Butte
elections, with particular reference
to their achievement in the city pri-
mary election last spring. Tn this
connection he took occasion to con-
gratulate the republicans upon the
fact that the republicans, throughout
1920, would be in control Of the city

his intention OF standing firmly for
100 per cont loyalty.
Mr.. Charles II. Leonard, claimed
to be just as loyal as anyone pres
ent, but he called attention, in his
speech, to the probable difficulty
that the voters would have in dis
tinguishing Il republican from a DEM
ocrat next fall, ii the G. O. p. went
into the scrap with nothing more in
scribed on it's banners than ''loyalty"
"You can rest assured" warned
Mr.. Leonard THAT the democrats
will be 'loyal" next fall, too. They
are not going to overlook anything
like that He urged the considera-
ton of other issues as we'll. MI.
Leonard condemned the "watchful
waiting policy of President Wilson
with reference to Mexico. Mr.. Leon
ard stated his displcasure over the
fact that the Mcxicans had never
been forced to salute the American
flag He resented kecnly, he said,
what he stated was the average Mexi-
cans attitude toward Americans;
namely, an attitude of dislike. Iic
knew, he claimed Of his own llnowl-
edge; for he had many times visited
McXico-in fact, he had interests in
southern Mexico.
Mr.. Leonard, in common with d.
j. Charles and Mr.. Morley Of the
board Of school trustees, announced
Il marked preference, FOR the old
convention system Of nominating
candidates for office, "With the
primary systcm,' argued Mr.. Nor
ley, "thcrc is little chance Of keep
ing the radical candidate out of Of
flee 1t is a wcll-knoWn fact that
may be three or four good men and
one bolsheyik candidate running. BY
reason Of the division OF the loyal
vote among the good men, the boil
shevik will slip in"
Not one of the above mentioned
Americans so much as whispered tho
words free speech, free press and
free assemblagc. Not one of them
mentioned the phrase Representative
government
When Joe Griffin got up to
talk, he shouted those phrases
straight at his audience. "What
profits America" he cried, "if
she gain the wealth OF the
world and lose her soul? Free
speech, free press, freedom of
asscmblagr, and representative
govcrnmcnt--thosc four things
arc the very soul OF American
ism; and we have lost them all.
