SEN. WALSH GRATEFUL
TO PEOPLE OF MONTANA

Characterizing his reelection as a
rebuke to that evanescent uprising.
%proclaiming its exclusive and super
Tor Americanism, Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, democrat, expressed his appre-
citation to Montana voters in a state
ment issued at Helena.
The statement follows.
at is needless to say that I am
highly gratified at the decisive vote
of Tuesday on the senatorship and
profoundly grateful to the people Of
Montana for the expression Of their
confidence implied in it.
whether deserved or u~ndeserved,
it would have been singularly unfort-
innate, considering the work with
which I have been in a special tanner
identified during the past year, if the
result had been otherwise. It would
have emboldened every prospective
raider of the public treasury and
every adventurer setting greedy eyes
upon the public domain. 1t would
have disheartened every public ser
want who might be moved to raise his
voice to arrest the plundering of the
people.
ut was equally a rebuke to that
e%vanescent uprising proclaiming its
exclusive and superior A~mericanism,
while processing sentiments and adj
vocating policies VIGOROUSLY repung-
lant to the fundamental principles
IF American liberty"
