Il it not time for the people Montana
70 pause aud re6ecti Is it not time foE
them to act9 The same classes Of peo.
ple in the States AZ are here in Mon.
tana are Up and acting. Yes. they are
making . herculian effort to throw Oh
the chains Of party, and have legisla.
ton in the interests Of tho country,
aud not those q swollen corporations.
We urge our people 70 act now-"sc'e
i tie day and Aowr- if they want RE-
PORN. We must act ut this election
or continue to bear the burdens Of the
prc,emt with the prospect Of an accu.
mutation OF moro evils. Voters Of
Montana! now is your opportunity to
free yourselves from tho domination Of
party. Will yos seize Il! Never was
there an era in Montana politics 20
important rs the present wherein tho
people can bring about needed reforms
il they will only ACT. So far - Gal.
latin comfy is concerned, she acted
last summer and docs not mean to let
mp this summer. The same spirit per
vades the minds Of our people for re-
form AZ last year. Party conventions
may he called, hut their nominees will
meet the same fate as they did at the
last election. The people will assemble
~ before in mass convention and
choose for themselves the men they
want to serve them. Very few men in
tho county favor party conventions,
and calls for them may he issued, but
the people of Gallatin will neither at-
tend or he governed by their action.
Tho only parties who will attend will
BE- defeated candidates whom the poo
pie would not trust. They are thirsty
for Office and will not heed rebukes
however scver. But they win gain
nothing by their motion. Calls for
are being made all over
the Territory. We can we'll under
stand the hot haste displayed in this
matter. 1t is an effort to choke of the
growing feeling in favor Of "Peo-
PIES Movement which tho signs Of
the times indicated to party leaders.
Aside from the rapid increase Of the
Patrons Of Husbandry, (Which has
given alarm to politicia:,s) there is .
powerful sentiment pervading al
classes that party conventions are
held in tho interest Of office-scekers,
and that the true men Of the country
arc ignored, rs we'll. as the material
welfare Of tho Territory. All that il
needed to develop that sentiment and
make it all-controlling in the coming
canvass in for the people to come TO-
gcthcr in the various districts and
ORGANIZE. Let true men all oRer
Montana come out and act. Let them
carry o.: their convictions b action.
We have l,een 50 far fighting this
great peoples battle unai.led. We
have seriously felt tho necessity for .
y peoples movement" and in our in.
>ercourse with voters both here and
our views are strongly ap-
proved. But We cannot accomplish
oil the labor that il required to make
the movement . SUCCESS. Competent
men in all parts Of Montana, II they
agree with us. SHOULD 0emb promptly
