The Record raised the same cry
against Mr.. Rowe two years ago-that
he would turn over the Office to his
brother. Mr.. Charles Rowe was evident
ly not as sure of this then as the Record
for he did notmakeany unusual exertion
to secure Billy's election. That paper
gave as its only treason for making this
claim that Mr.. Rowe had his own hands
full with his stage line. That reason Of
it was any reason) cannot be given now,
and SO the Record has to hunt up an
other, and unfortunately for its party fell
on one which, silly as it is, will operate
more against the democratic candidate
for treasurer than it will against MI.
Rowe. You will have to do better, old
man, or the party managers will extin-
guish you-something we wonder they
have not done long ago.

The lawyers say that each contest will
cost the contestant about ten dollars,
and SO, if there should be ten fling on o
lot the Judge will get about one hundred
dollars out of that lot, and that's where
the most OF his "swag'' comes in. Do
you see it? Each man that has paid in
twenty-eight dollars on two lots will get
eighteen of it back. Furthermore, the
probate Judge told a gentleman who
filed on two lots, that the more filings
on each lot the better he liked it. That
he 'shad put two thousand dollars into
this thing, and he wanted to getit back"
Where did he put in two thousand dol
lars? Wa 1t across the river, with
Murphy and McDevitt, or was it with
Paddy Murphy?

1T has been said that Mr. McIntire,
one of the candidates on the republican
legislative ticket, is a newcomer in our
midst, but the same argument will APP
ply with equal propriety to MI. Settle,
who is on the opposition ticket, and in
point Of ability there is no comparison
between the two men. MI. Settle is a
jolly comrade and will perhaps make
friends quicker than Mr.. McIntire, for
the latter car generally be found in his
Office, giving close application to his
business but this fact should make him
stand higher with the people Of the
county, as it is the best assurance that
he will give as close attention to the
business of his constituents as he does to
his own. The people of Choteau will be
doing themselves a positive injury If
they do not send Mr.. McIntire to look
after their interests this winter.

SUPPOSE Tattan should die, and we
are all mortal, before the time for max
ing proof and giving deeds for town lots
in the g addition rolls around, would
not the applicants have to pay their fees
over again, in the aggregate nearly $1O,-
600? As the law says plainly that the
fee Of four dollars per lot is not to be
paid until the proof is heard and the
deed made, has he not extorted this
amount Of money from the people OF
Benton from two to six months before II
Is due?

WHAT better men can the people Of
Choteau county desire to represent them
in the next legislative assembly than
Jere Sullivan and Henry G.. McIntire?
Mr.. Sullivan is an old resident of the
county, is conversant with the needs of
every section, and is a fair minded, hon.
orable man, ofgood judgement, against
whom not a single word can be said.
Mr.. Sullivan's qualifications for the
position are well known, and we have
little doubt that his election is sure. MI.
McIntire is not SO well known through
out some sections of the county as his
colleague on the ticket, bat his eminent
fitness is conceded in Benton by demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. Indeed, we
heard it remarked the other day by q
leading democrat, that he wished Mr..
McIntire was on the other ticket as he
thought he was just the man to send to
the legislature. He has already made q
reputation for himself in his profession
SINE coming among us which might
well be envied by old practitioners, in
deed, prominent members of the Helena
bar who have come in contact with him
professionally say that he is the most
promising young lawyer in the Territory
OF Montana, and is toby the best law
yer in Benton. And this is just the kind

f. G. ROOSEVELT, the republican
nominee for treasurer, is in fitness for
the position for which he is named no
way behind the rest of u county
ticket. Mr.. Roosevelt has been a resi-
dent of Benton for years, is a practical
aud thorough accountant, is a first-class
business man, and a man of unimpeach-
able honesty and integrity. No better
man could be found to take charge of the
county funds.

OUR probate Judge acknowledges that
he is DESTROYS of having as many filings
on each lot as can be made. He says
sthat's where the most of his 'swag'
comes in.n Section 1914 of the land re-
lating to townsite reads:
The fees of the probate judge or cor
porate authorities shall be, in case such
claim or claims is not contested, four
dollars for hearing the proof and making
the deed; and in contested eases, in adj
dition to the four dollars, the same fees
as allowed by law in civil cases in JUS
ficeS courts.

MI CLINGAN, our candidate for pro-
bate Judge, has not been able to inter
view the outside precincts on account of
his imperative duties at home, which he
cannot leave in charge Of a deputy like
his opponent. But this fact should not
prevent his friends from voting for him,
and thus assist in breaking up the crowd
who have so long had control Of the po-
htics of the county, and who are nearly
all seeking some of the spoils this year.

BUCK says that if his own opinion
had been asked, before the receipt of
Tattan's card, he should have said that
Mr.. Todd did not write our townsite

s"Todd" he Immediately repeated
''Todd." Really, until now, we had
given Tattan's echo the credit of having
some opinion OF his own.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The Tolleston
club of this city, composed of many
influential and wealthy men. owns
several thousand acres of marsh land
in Lake county, Indiana. They pro-
cured the passage of stringent game
laws, and SO incurred the enmity Of
pot hunters" in that section that in
retaliation the latter secured the
passage of law making it a INSIDE
meanor to carry out of the
state any game shot within
its boundaries. A few DAYS
ago a couple of poachers were ar
rested and fined, and now the poach-
ers have retaliaJed by causing the
arrest of Judge Knickerbocker, of
the probate court of this city, and +.
A. How, president of the club. and
they have been bound over for q
hearing on the charge of illegally
exporting game from the state. A
general war between sportsmen and
market hunters is looked forward
