VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Dillon Examiner: at was Colonel Sar
ders," says Judge Shober, "who at tn
special session of the Legislature of 1875
endeavored to have the rolling stock an,
all the property of the Utah & Norther
exempted from taxation" This does no
compare very favorably with Mr.. Toole'
efforts to have the surveyed lands of tn
Northern Pacific taxed"
"You are authorized to state on my au
thority that any allegations or ihsinua
tions to the effect that you have not beef
faithful to the citizens of Northern Mon
tana and diligent in seeking to promote
their interests are entirely without founda
tion.-T. c. Power. to Delegate Toole."
Bozeman Courier (Rep.): Much as W,
admire the remarkable ability OF Col. San
ders and acknowledge bis peculiar fitness
for the position to which be laudably as
pires, we cannot complacently close ou1
eyes to the formidable opposition he will
have to encounter, and the almost insur.
mountable obstacles he will have to over
come in order to reach 6he goal Of his land
able ambition"
I am happy in being able to run against
candidate who is my personal friend, Of
whom / believe nothing IAN be said to his
harm, who with some alterations
from q straight line OF duty can certainly
have no crime laid to his door, except that
ne Is allied to the Democracy, and who will
1 believe come out OF this campaign a wiser
and better. man.-Col. Sanders"
Billings Gazette: "The total assessment
OF Gallatin County for this year is SIS, 800.
80. There were 1O2, 06O sheep, 1902
horses and 46. 592 cattle. There were 624
mules, when the count was made, and
would have been 625 only Bullitt, manager
OF tie Northern Pacific Coal Company, was
then temporarily absent"
Rising Sun: If we send a Republican del.
egate to Congress this fall, hopes for our
admission as a State would not be realized
for many years to come. Our sister Terri.
tory Dakota would also be refused the
mantle OF statehood, as che is expected to
pair With US in politics. Republicans should
pause a moment and consider the import.
ance of this question. It effects their own
home interest, as well as their Dakota
brethren. Toole will HAYES good majority
without any doubt, but the larger it is the
better it will be for the twin Territories.
Independent: Col. Sanders claims to be
the special friend of the laboring man and
in his long.winded platform there is a great
deal OF gush on the labor question. Still
the Colonel is not only the attorney but !
the agent of the Northern Pacific Coal ,
at Timberline, which has been ;
more oppressive and cruel to labor than
any other individual or corporation ever
before has been in Montana. There is +,
nothing on the records to show that Agent j
Sanders ever protested against the outra- !
geous insults to labor OH the part of bis !
