ORGANIZE!

There is no need of Disgusting the fact
that the campaign we are about to enter
will be no snowy parade or skirmish line
contest, but regular pitched battle OF
trained fighters, each confident OF success
and ready to do yeoman service for his
cause. As in actual warfare the general
who has thoroughly disciplined and or
ganized forces, marshaled by strong and
determined lieutenants, has greatly the
advantage of an enemy not SO fortunate,
even of a superior number, so in politi-
cal battle the organized hosts, under cap
able and Jealous leaders, can successfully
contend with superior forces and put
them to complete route. Campaign his
tory in this country the past 20 years
prove this to be true time and time again.
The secret of political success lies more
in a thorough organization and the effec-
tive work that results therefrom than in
brass bands, torch-'ight professions and
all the other snowy elements Of the aver
age campaign.
1t behooves the democracy of Montana
to take this important fact into consider
alton and act speedily on it. The work
should begin in the state committee and
it should begin without delay. In six
weeks the election will be at hand and
time lost now can not easily be retrieved
later. But the complete organization
must go beyond the central body. We
should organize as we'll in each county
in each precinct and in each neighbor
hood 1t should be no half way or half
hearted undertaking, but work of thor
oughness and system. With such an
organization, backed by just cause and
as pure and bright a record of territorial
administration, covering period Of -2s
years, as any state or territory in the
union can boast, the triumph of the dem
ocratic party on October 1st., IS an assur
ance.
We need not doubt that the enemy will

OUR esteemed republican contempor
aries, the Butte Inter Mountain and Hell
ena journal, have made the mistake of
ascribing to the TRIBUNE some utterances
of crazy sheet published here, generally
known as the Rolfe. Suffice it to say
that the TRIBUNE never said that "Dele.
gates Gibson and Collins gave earnest
assurance to the people that they would
under no circumstances support the prop
osition to have general election" because
no such assurances were asked or given.
This proposition cut no figure in the
campaign. Messrs. Gibson and Collins
were elected on their merits and that
they have been faithful to their trust nc
one can successfully deny. The article
quoted by our ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and commented upon with apparent de-
light, is not ours. 1t is q production Of
the Rolfe and we must strenuously object
to being held responsible for anything
that may appear in that cranky sheet.

IDAHO has a number of special agents
of the land office department looking into
the fraudulent land entries of land and
water rights. A very important discov.
cry has been made on the Blackfoot river,
where 1000 acres of natural meadow
land have been filed on with desert en-
tries. 1t is pretty good desert land that
gives employment to ten moving ma
chimes, cutting thousands of tons of good
hay, and where irrigation bitches are I'M
known. But this land is held by the
elect of Utah, there being among the
owners some of the most prominent
names known in church circles. There
are prospects of rich developments when
suits are commenced restoring those
lands to the public domain. The church
scheme to gain control and steal the lands
of Idaho promises not to succeed.

LET it be remembered that section 8 of
the registry law provides that natural

come such, should produce their papers,
which are to be stamped by the registry
agent. If the certificate is lost or is not
on hand for the time being the applicant
may be registered on making oath to
that effect and answering certain speci-
fed questions relative thereto. Testi-
mony as to his credibility may be called

AS TO REGISTRATION.

The registration law is not as clear IN
some particulars as it might be and to the
average voter its VARIOUS provisions are
not easy Of comprehension. The follow
ing pointers may help to make some
things clear.
Registration is free. Because the COM
pensation of registry agents may be fixed
bv the commissioners at 25 cents for each
person registered some voters have come
to the conclusion that the registering
party must pay this fee. The county
bears this expense, SD that registering is
Just as free as voting.
Registration closes on September 18th
and those who do not get their names on
the roll before that date will lose their
votes.
Registry agents must be at their offices
on all days except legal holidays from
2 o'clock p. m., until 8 p. m, until Sep
TENDER 5th from this date to Sep
TENDER 18th, the office lours are from 10
a. m., until 10p p. m.
"The registry book shall be open at all
time for inspection by any qualified
elector." See sec. 6.
Naturalized citizens or those who have
declared their intentions who have lost
their papers, or if the same are beyond
their reach for the time being, may be
registered by making oath to these facts.
An elector who has registered but may
be about to move to another district can
have his name erased and receive from
the agent certificate that will enable
him to register elsewhere in the territory,
or to vote without further registration at
any precinct in the county by presenting
said certificate to the judges Of election

In some states the voter drops the bal
lot into the box himself. while in others
he hands 1t 10 an Inspector, who drops it
in for him. 1t remains in the box until
the polls are closed, when the inspectors
begin to count the votes. BY this means
complete secrecy is obtained; but efforts
have often been made by party managers
to discover how certain persons have
voted by resorting 10 tickets of a peculiar
color or marked tickets, but the law in
most states forbids the use of any except
plain white paper.
The ballot-in its secret form-has
been in use for years IN France, Swltzer-
land, Italy and Greece. The systems in
these countries differ. In some the voter
is given ticket with the names of all
the candidates upon it. from which he
strikes all except those for whom he
wishes to vote. and then deposits it in q
box: in others he makes n mark oppO-
site the names of those candidates who
are his choice. In Germany they vote
by written or printed ticket delivered
openly 10 the officer of the polls, who
reads of and records the vote immedi-
ately in a voice that all may bear. In

A RIPE OLD AGE.
James funny. OF Boston. Has Passed the 1
Century Mark.

James funny. OF Boston. Has Passed the
Century Mark.
Probably Boston's oldest citizen at the
present time is James funny, Of No. "
Linden Park street. who was 10l years
old a few months ago. and if he lives
few months longer VIII be lee years old.
He has been a resident of Boston for
over forty years, and a citizen Of the
United States Cor sixty years. and says
ne came To this country when he was "a
young man about 10 years of age"
Mr. funny was born in Ballyshannon,
Ireland. III 1871. His parents were peas
ants; LIS father died young and his mo-
tner died before she was OLD enough 10
get any fame for longevity.
His aunt. however, was very old-how
old ZEE didn't know; but be we'll remem-
bers that when she was over 100 years
old she walked three miles with lighted
candle over a rough country road TO at
tend midnight mass in the parish chapel.
Mr. funny left Ireland III 1881 for the
United States. To quote his own Ian
guage, he recently said: Il was niver
scholard an me mem'ry fails me o the
ould times, bat | moind well tn day /
kim to Ameriky. If had only known. >
he went on with quaint pathcs, that I'd
live to this age, Id ha' had larnin' to-
day. Nawthin' kin be done widort ed
dication, an | niver had no eddicatiOn. "
Mr. Tunny is very proud of his Old age,
but is modest as 20 his scholastic attain
ments. He could read and write very
well once, but he has forgotten now, he
saws, how to do either; bu. Margaret. his
wife. SAYS that down to only few
months ago he read his Bible every day.
The district around Mr.. Tunny's house
is not at all thickly populated. The cen
tenarian's house, an old wooden struc-
ture in which the couple have lived for
