The communication from young
Democrat" did not bear the signature Of
the writer and for that reason cannot be
published. We never publish anonymous
communications. The name of the writer
is required, not for publication, unless he
wishes it, but as an evidence of good
faith.
The half column of hogwash pub
llshed this morning about the shipment
Of some ore from Neihart is an indication
Of the mischief that can be accomplished
BY the fussy, froathy old chap who aids
Rolfe in making the organ ridiculous.
When the fool-killer makes his next
round in this section there will be some
vacancies on the staff of the morning
sheet.
The Rolfe organ calls J. G. Hunt
"would-be republican," and the several
citizens interested in the forthcoming
citizens convention are designated as
"ward heelers," all because they are in
terfeering with a little scheme on the
part Of that great political leader to inject
partisan into the city election. 1t is
needless to say this scheme will not
work. Ninety-nine hundred Of the peo~
pie Of Great Falls are in favor of select
ing good men for the several offices, with
out regard for politics, and such will un-
questionably be the result.
George Raban, the accountant for the
Sand Coulee Coal company, was in the
city today and called at the TRIBUNE Of
flee. He informs us that the daily OUT
put of coal is now $50 tons and that the
figures will increase week after week as
the work of development proceeds. 1t
will be necessary within a few days to
put a second train ON the Sand Coulee
branch, as one train day will not be
able to do the work. One engine has
now great difficulty IN hauling to the
works the large number of empties daily
required.
estimable friend Rolfe, the great
leader Z Of the republican party of Great
Falls and Cascade county, is on the ram
page. He is filled with disgust and NOR
tification by reason Of all this talk about
a "non-partisan" city election and in an
indignant letter in his organ cries out for
a republican convention and a straight
republican ticket! What a pity that Rolfe
lives outside the city limits, or otherwise
he might be the candidate for mayor him
self and lead the straightout republican
phalanX to--irretrievable defeat and dis
aster. 'Rah for Rolfe and the straight
outs!
