MONTANA entered upon Statehood
under difficulties. The Republicans
are attempting to set up a rump Legis-
latHre. They refuse to meet at the
designated place, because they know
that certain of their associates are not
entitled to sit in the Assembly, and they
desire their presence In order TO organ
lie the lower House. The political
complexion OF the upper House Is even-
ly divided, but The Democrats o! this
senate refuse to meet with the Republi-
can members. Thus confusion is worse
eonfoundsd. How long this play will
continue no one can tell, but every day
OF 1t works to the disadvantage of the
new State. There is no great tempta.
tion to eIn;grste to other than an ORDER
ly, lsw-abiding community.

The two conspicuous merits OF the
Australian ballot system consist In
printing and distributing uniform cleo
tion tickets at public expense. and in
providing voters with place IN which
to prepare their tickets free from obser,
yation. BY these provisions opportuni-
ties for bribery and corruption are re-
duced to minimum, voters are pro-
tectsd from intimidation and episonage.
and spurious election tickets can no
longer be put in circulation. All these
reforms powerfully aid IN securing tho
one great object Of a free and uncor-
rupted ballot.
