SPEAKING TONIGHT BY CRUMPACKER AND MOUNT.

Congressman Will Answer Questions Propounded by Jasper County • Democrat—AU Should Hear. What will probably be the best and biggest meeting of the campaign will be held at the opera house in Rensselaer tonight. , Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker and Hon. Finley P. Mount will be the speakers. The former arrived in Rensselaer this morning, coming from Battle Ground where he spoke last night. Mr. Mount arrived on the 10:55 train from the north, having been holding meetings, in the northern part of the state. He has spoken already in 56 counties of the state and wants to gpt in as many more as he can before the campaign closes. He is a candidate for attorney-general and has made a study of state issues and will have something to say about the economy so profusely talked by Governor Marshal during the time he was a candidate. He wishes to show that the democrats have not only failed absolutely to adopt any measures of economy but that they have spent more money in almost every department of the state and have failed to pay a single cent on the state debt, while Governor Hanly reduced it $407,000; Governor Durbin cut it down $3,491,000, and Governor M6unt reduced it $1,733,000. Mr. Mount has some other figures to show that democratic management of the state has not fulfilled the platform and the speech-making of the 1908 campaign and he wishes to prove that democracy comes very expensive to the state. Judge Crumpacker will speak with his characteristic frankness on all issues and it will be found by his auditors that he is thoroughly acquainted with all affairs concerning national legislation and also allied with those measures that will assure the uninterrupted progress of the republican party in carrying out the will of the people. He will show what congress has done for the people of America, will give his opinion of the tariff measure adopted by the Special session of the legislature and will show why it is calculated to assure continued prosperity. He will also show Mr. Peterson’s connection with many of the great trusts and answer fully and frankly all the questions asked of him by the local democratic newspaper. It is hoped that Editor Babcock, who wants these questions answered, will come out and hear the reply and that his democratic supporters will also be a part of the audience. Let there be a big crowd. Bring the women, that they may also hear these speakers.
