Yeomans this afternoon. Mr. Morris did not go to the convention and so his &C., ceptance speech was held in abey- ance until the state committee could be called together to meet the nominee for the, head of the state ticket and his running mates on the party ticket.

Morris was on hand early at party headquarters which are at the hotel. As the committee men and committee women appeared they were formally introduced to MT. Morris, and then to the other nom- inees as fast as they appeared.
 At p. m. the gathering was of considerable numbers as quite few of the party leaders had also called to greet the nominees.
 Mr. Yeomans made the notifca- ton speech which was of few words, but in them was an assurance that the democratic party stood behind the ticket and that the party looked to MT. Morris and his associates to carry the ticket through to victory.
 MT. Morris made reply which was as follows:
 Honesty An Issue.
 MT. Morris said in part:
 ITO my mind honesty in govern ment is one of the major issues of this campaign. It has been brought to the fore conspicuously in the na- tional campaign by Fall, Forbes and Daugherty.

MORE BEET LABORERS
ARRIVE FROM TEXAS
Special Train Brings 800 Mexicans TO
Yellowstone Valley Irrigation
Project

A second six-car special train, direct
from FL Paso, Texas, arrived in Sid
ney with 300 Mexicans TO go into the
beet fields of the lower Yellowstone
valley irrigation project. This brings
the total up to 900 and it is expected
to be sufficient to do the hand labor
for the $500 acres of beets to be
grown locally this year.
This fall, when the migration will
start back for the south, it is estimated
that the Mexican colony will carry
with them the sum of S165,000, earned
by hand labor in the beet fields of this
valley.
Due to the foresight of Mr.. Hogarty.
manager of the Billings factory and
who was on the project in February,
the housing conditions for this immi-
grafton were all prepared and waiting.
One of the features of the coming of
the Mexicans is the detailed system in
which the matter is handled. With no
congestion and without the slightest
delay in time, the newcomers are re-
ceived and their intended, destination
found
It is a cosmopolitan community, this
lower Yellowstone valley. with It's
English. Danish, German. Spanish and
Scandinavian folk; each speaking his
own language and all able to use the
prevailing English when it better
serves the purpose.
