TIME BIGGEST and best annua
picnic by the miners and smell
termen of Kellogg was held las
Saturday and Sunday Angus
IL and y. 1t was the biggest from
the standpoint of extent and diver
sity of program and the number who
came from all parts of the district to
see it carried out 1t was the hest
from the standpoint of excellence or
the program and the complete orgam
cation to handle the crowd and dis
pose of each feature on time and in
every detail. Every visitor to Kellogg
on this occasion gave unstinted praise
to the Industrial union for the man
ner in which the big event was han
died and to the people of the smeter
city in general for the hospitality OK
tended to all visitors. This was the
twentieth annual celebration and its
success gives assurance of many more
equally successful.
Borah Was the Big Feature.
Unquestionably the outstanding fea
ture of the celebration was the ad
dress by Senator W. f. Borah. Hun
dreds were undoubtedly attracted by
that alone and they were amply re-
paid for their effort Senator Borah
was introduced to an audience that
filled the large auditorium to over
flowing by Robert L. Brainard, who
referred to the interesting fact that it
was Senator Borah and Ex-Governor
Hawley who drafted the charter of
the Industrial union under which it
has grown to be a power for good in
the social life of Kellogg, in promot-
ing cordial relations between en-
ployes and employers of the mines and
smelter, and in providing benefits for
sick and disabled members. With
few preliminary remarks in which he
expressed his great pleasure at again
meeting his friends in the Occur
dAlenes Senator BOrah took up the
discussion of disarmament. the prob
lens confronting the farmer, and the
recognition of Russia. His views on
those great questions were known in
advance to most of his listeners, but

duence and array of argument they
received an impression which. if not
always convincing, carried conviction
of earnest sincerity. Senator Borah
was followed with close and even
eager attention, and from time to
time as he reached the climax of his
argument the audience burst into ap
xunpdnr.fr1I rn1pCpnfq-
ton of his views on some of the great
questions now confronting the coun-
try and which are pressing for solu-
ton. and those who heard it were.
proud to have listened to one a sena-
tor from their own state, whose com
handing ability is exercising far
reaching influence in solving them,
this regardless of whether they agree
with his attitude toward all national
and international questions or not
Meets Local Men.
While in Kellogg Senator Borah
was a guest at the home of Stanly a.
Easton, general manager of the Bum
ker Hill & Sullivan company. Soon
after his address a luncheon was
served at the home of Mr.. Easton. at
which the following were present in
addition to the host and Senator
Borah: William McDougall Howard
Mcbride, r. L. Brainard, w. l.. Pen
ney. all of Kellogg; Fred Herrick, of
st Maries d. A. Callahan, Major f.
L. Quigley H. J. Rossi and A. j.
Dunn, all of Wallace. In the course |
of discussing many subjects to draw
out the views of Senator Borah. he /
gave an interesting closeup view of
Calvin Coolidge. in whom he express
ed great confidence, although admit |
ting that his quiet and reserved dis |
position rendered his attitude at times /
an enigma. He expressed the opin- /
ion. however, that Mr. Coolidge would /
meet the great responsibility which |
he had suddenly been called upon to 1
assume with the same ability and de-
termination that has ever character
lied his career, and that in doing so
he would logically become the repub-
lican nominee for president. Follow
ing the luncheon Senator Borah left
