by holding their convention first the

are pronounced and beyond dispute is
of little moment compared to his abil-
ity to competently perform the duties
of the office to which the convention
may see lit to nominate him.
II is well known that the Republican
party enjoys a safe majority in this
county on the head Of the ticket-del.

because the candidate for given office
is a Republican nominee his election

Il Fergus county to he represented
in the Fifteenth Legislative Assembly +?
II So, the question is how? The fail
ure Of the "late lamcnted" to pass q
re-apportiOnment bill lebars us from
electing a representative and claiming
vote and voice in the framing Of laws
which will govern ms. Meagher county
citizens in their party conventions,
could. through courtesy, nominate one
Of their candidates from this portion Of
Meagher county, but we do not believe
they would do it, even il solicited. As
regards precedent our only course is to
follow Custer county's example, name
~, to agree, as citizens in mass meet
ing, upon man and request the
legislature to give him seat and voice
in their body. Hon. Paul Mccormick
represented Custer county in this way
until All apportionment was made and
he was granted seat and voice in both
houses, but no vote or pay.
II both parties can agree upon n ci.i-
zen Of Fergus county, We believe this
the better method. The Republicans,
after com plotting their convention Ia.
bors, should give this thought, and by
suggesting two or three names, enable
the Democrats to endorse one Of them
and let that one be declared the choice
of the citizens of the county. Wha
we need, under the circumstances i
not a political Representatives, but 4
man thoroughly identified with ou
county and who will devote his tim'
and ability to seeing that our interest
and rights are protected.

1t has been suggested by some who
would prefer to see matters pertaining
to our public schools as far removed
from the political arena a. possible,
that both parties unite ON some conf
potent person for the office and place
his or her name on both tickets. If
there is anything in which all citizens
should take pride, and watch with a
jealous eye, it is our schools. The
Judith Basin has made rapid strides in
educational matters in the past three
years and can now boast of Us good
yc,,uui. ~ cssn-te-fsund in tho Terri
tory. The office Of Superintendent Of
Schools is a responsible and important
one, and several persons have been
suggested who would ill the position
creditably. Miss Shipman and Thomas
Leard are candidates before the Rcpub-
lican convention. The experience Of
this end Of Meagher has been such as
to create a prejudice against lady
superintendent. buC pASSS"s 'AS"''
bent as well as her predecessor,
never visited this section except on u
electioncering tour, and then when their
escorts were most agreeable company.
Drawing the salary seems to have been
the chief occupation Of the Superin-
tendent 50 far as this end Of Meaghcr is
cognixant. This no doubt was owing to
the great extent Of territory to be
traverscd, largely. Schools should he
visited frequently, and the manner in
which they are conducted closely scru-
tinized. Some claim u lady cannot or
will not perform this duty as satisfac-
torily as man, especially in the winter
season. This may depend very much
upon the lady. However, all are desir-
ous for All able, enegetic and progress
i've man or woman for the place, and
the political complexion Of the sue
cessful aspirants is Of but little or no
Importance. We have no republican
or democratic bibles or text books in
our schools.
