The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-21

~
~ meetings are being held al
various points throughout the
county, at which the voters
have an opportunity to hear an in
telhgent discussion of state and ma
tional issues by a speaker who knows
how, and the candidates for county
offices have a chance to meet and
mingle with the voters in a spirit
which it is hoped will be productive
of results to their mutual advantage.
The first of these meetings was held
at Interstate last Tuesday evening
and proved a big success in every re-
spect. over a hundred people were
present, made up almost wholly of
employees of the Callahan mine and
mill The chief address of the even
ing was by d. A. Callahan, of Wal
lace who received the closest and
even eager attention of his audience
and was greeted with frequent bursts
of applause He was followed by
John Borg. president of the Interstate
Callahan company, who made a brief
and effective speech in support of the
principles, policies and business ca
pacity of the republican party.
Tonight the republicans will hold
similar meeting in the Liberty thea
ter at Mullan, at which Mr.. Callahan
will again speak and the county can
didates will generally be on hand to
renew old acquaintance and make
new ones. The Mullan meeting will
be preceded by a free picture show, to
which the public is invited. The pub
lie is also urgently invited to attend
the political meeting that will follow
the movie show.
The next meeting at which will ap-
pear this combination of republican
vote getters will be at Avery next
Saturday evening, October %. Next
week. on a date to be announced, a
meeting will be held in Burke. Then
the North Side will be invaded, when
a meeting will be held at Murray.
Meetings at Kingston Pine creek and
Enaville are also being considered and
if possible will be held
The reception given Ex-Governor
Frank r. Gooding at Kellogg last Sat
urday evening was most gratifying to
the republican candidate for senator,
as it was to the republicans of this
county generally, indicating the strong
support that Mr.. Gooding has in this
county. r. L. Brainard, of Wardner /
acted as chairman of the meeting. D. /
A. Callahan preceded Mr.. Gooding, |
combining his discussion almost Who'll
~ to the league of nations incidental !
ly exposing some of the sophistries in
dulged in by Senator Nugent in his
recent Wallace speech. Mr.. Callahan
closed his speech by introducing eX-
Governor Gooding Mr.. Gooding
makes no pretention to being an ora
tor, and yet he has the faculty of get
ting a punch into what he says that
makes it quite as effective as would
be an outburst of real oratory. He
confined his remarks almost wholly to
the tariff and used the deplorable
condition that now prevails in this
state due to the Underwood free trade
law, as a plain and forcible argument
in support of the republican policy of
tariff protection. The extravaganza ,
and incompetency of the Wilson ad-
also came in for atten-
ton Taking his figures from the re- I
port of a congressional committee
which investigated war expenditures, Z
Governor Gooding said that for 391,
600 horses the administration bought r
945, 900 saddles, or more than two sad
dies for every horse and mule in the !
2,S5O,S53 halters, or seven for =
each animal; 2,O33,2O4 nose bags, or
five for each animal; $4,000 branding =
irons, or one for every two animals. I
These branding irons were made of +
copper, for which the government paid i
20 cents per pound. After the war the f
sold them back for IL ,
cents a pound. Governor Gooding, Z
whose life has been spent on the :
range, said that he had branded +
everything that wore hair. and some a
that did not. and that this was the +
first time he had ever heard of a +
branding iron being made of copper. o
A merchant in eastern Oregon or
