Although Il date VI onr LAST issue the count
Of the Deer Lodge connty returns had been
completed, ths Board Of Canvsscrs had not
formally approved the vote and directed the
Issuance Of certificates TO winning candi-
dates. This, however, was done the next
day and the table pqblished last week stands
~ register Of the om|eiai vcte Of Deer Lodge
county.
The result u bseter than 1t might have
been, but not % good - We had hoped It
would ts for the Republicans. III We recsl-
lsct Alright We conceded In the outset Of the
campaiga that tbs Democrats had nominAted
good ticket; 20 had the Republicans. OF
thoss noninssed there were majorities cast
for eleven Democrats and four Republicans,
the latter slecting Assessor, Probate Judge,
Superintendent Of 6chsok, and giving ms
jority for Botkin. while still conceding
good officers have been selected, we regret so
many good men have gone down in the fray.
Jud Kennedy II too good . man to be
beaten for Sheriff. Howard Zenor In the
best Commissioner ever Deer Lodge county
had. because he is not only honest and
thoroughly good kicker, but he possesses the
best business qualifications Of any man who
has filled that position. Lew. Coleman has
| never had . superior In Montana as account
| ant and Treasurer. But these, with Others,
had to 70 down under the stress Of party pol
itics-a stress and pressure and blin fold In
selection u strictly local officers that we are
pleased to SEQ less respected ut the polls.
However, the people have spoken, and de-
spite blunder,ng irregu laritics In number
| Of the returns the Canvassers were satisfied
they were thu fair expression Of those who
vsted and the abr tracts were certified ac-
cerdingly.
