Democrats Hold
Interesting Meeting
Continued from First page)

Howard A. Mcintyre said that when
he first started out with the Demo
cratic troupe" that he was permitted
to make a speech, but that later he
was implored to sing instead. His
rendition of two songs made a hit with
the audience.
Chairman Mushbach then introduce
ed Senator Walsh. The Senator, in
prefacing his remarks referred to the
fact chat he had been campaigning
in Montana for number of years and
always had refrained from making
any reference to himself as a candi-
date, but in view of the fact that he
had taken such a prominent part in
the uncoyering of the Teapot Dome
scandal, that he had incurred the en-
nifty of some very powerful influences
and that he hoped he would be par
doned if on this occasion he made
personal appeal for his reelection.
He said that if he were defeated that
any man who was elevated to high Of
flee would hesitate to do his duty in
fear of mourning these enmities.
Senator Walsh then reviewed the
history Of the unlawful leasing Of the
naval oil reserves. He said that SEN
ator LaFollette had urged the investi-
cation and made personal appeal
to him to become the prosecutor Of
these Investigations. He spoke in
highest terms of Senator LaFollette
and of his colleague Senator B. X.
Wheeler and told of Wheeler's
achievements in the investigation of
the Department of Justice which end
ed in the ousting of Attorney General
Daugherty.
Senator Walsh read to the audience
some of the endorsements he had re-
ceived unsolicited from the various
railroad brotherhoods and unions. for
which he said he was very grateful.
In closing, Senator Walsh said that
he had been accused of being too big
for Montana" and of trying to make
a name and reputation for himself,
and he said if this were true he had
succeeded beyond his widest dreams.
But that his greatest ambition in the
future would be as it had been in the
past, to serve in an able Wy. the
people Of the great state CT Montana.

As far back as the family records
go, ancestors Of Henry Cantwell Wal
lace, secretary of agriculture in the
cabinets of President Harding and
Coolidge, have been identified with
agriculture Several of them attempt
ed new vacations and professions, but
all, for one reason or another, return
ed to WELD continuous chain Of farm
ers.
Mr.. Wallace was born in Rock Island
III, May IL, 1866, the son of Henry
and Mamie Cantwell Wallace. The
elder Wallace was a minister in his
early life, but retired to the farm to
restore his health, moving from Hi
nois to Iowa where the future head of
the department Of agriculture grew to
manhood.
Like many another farmer boy, Mr..
Wallace fought hard for an education.
He worked on the farm in summer and
attended village school in winter url-
TIL he was ready to enter college. 8
Entering Iowa state agricultural
college at 10, Mr.. Wallace completed
two years of work before an emergen-
cy arose which took him back to the
farm. A tenant on his fathers farm
gave up his lease and Mr.. Wallace
The Carbon County chronicle. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1924, 1924-10-29

took up the job for himself. 1t was
five years before he was able again
to go to college but when he did get
back to school, he completed a two
years course in one.
During the years Mr.. Wallace was
out Of college, he took up writing on
farm topics and from that beginning
there grew what now is known as
Wallace's Farmer. This literary work
also weighed strongly in his appoint
ment as assistant professor of dairy
ing in the Iowa state college The
head Of the agricultural college at that
time was James Wilson, afterwards
secretary of agriculture for 16 years.
The Carbon County chronicle. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1924, 1924-10-29

The farm magazine was founded ira
1895 by Mr.. Wallace, his brother, John
p. Wallace, and their father. The
three were associated as publishers
until the fathers death in 1916 since
which the two brothers have continu-
ed the paper. Two sons of the secre-
tary are now following their fathers.
footsteps and have become identified
with the institution.
Mr.. Wallace married in 1857 Nil
May Brodheai, descendant of one
the earlier families of the United
States. He was of Scotch-Irish de-
scent, his grandfather coming to.
America from the north of Ireland.

Mr.. Pattangnll Apologies

w. r. Pattangall, at present cam
didate for Governor, who will speak
before Rotary at an early date. long
years since, was the editor of the
Machias Union. As the story goes,
Lleweilyn Powers, then of Houlton,
and a less known statesman by the
name of Fuller, came to Machias to
participate in a Republican rally.
Mr. Pattangall's paper, already refer
red to, was OF course under the neces-
sity of making some report thereof.
1t should be understood that Mr..
Powers had long straight black hair
and some peculiar features which per-
haps gave rise to the report that he
was of Indian descent. 1t should
further be stated that there was a
colony of Indians at Pleasant Point,
near Machias All or these things
effected somewhat the news item
printed by the Union, which was as
follows.
"The Hon. Llewellyn Powers
and the Hon George Fuller were
in town last evening, discussing
the issues of the day from the Re-
publican standpoint. Mr.. Fuller
is continuing his speaking tour
through Washington county, while
Mr.. Powers has gone to pass the
weekend with relatives at Pleas
ant Point
The local Republican committee
were throughly indignant. They call
ed upon Mr.. Pattangall to register
their protest To him they said they
did not expect the Union to comment
favorably on the meeting but they did
expect the local paper to refrain from
insulting their speakers. They de-
manded that an apology or correction
be printed the following week.
Mr.. Pattangall jollied them into an
approach to good nature and told the
committee that he would see what he
could do toward setting the matter
right. His correctiont0 in the issue
following was as follows:
1.-THE local Republican Commit
tee did not approve of my account
of the Republican Rally, as print
ed in the last issue of the Union.
They especially took exceptions
to my inference that the Hon.
Llewellyn Powers. is of Indian
descent. AS to this l admit | may
have been mistaken. At any rate,
l have consulted the Indians and
they deny it,

The only means of travelling and
transportation for several years after
the first settlement of Norridgewock
and Canaan, was on snowshoes and
handsleds in winter, and with boats
in the summer. The first roads were
mere paths through the woods from
house to house along the banks of
the river. From time to time, as ne
cessity demanded, the roads. increased
in number and excellence. No one
but hunters and explorers went far
north Of Sandy River until 1916 when
man by the name of Pease drove
horses and cattle through to Canada,
and about that time the state laid
out road.
