. Represented by a republican last session. :
As will be seen by the above. five of
the eight counties electing senators
were represented by republicans in the
last session. II therefore is necessary
for the republicans to elect six Of the
eight to gain q majority in the upper
house. In Cascade Will Hanks, the
republican nominee, is opposed by
Paris Gibson, ''the father of Great
Falls"anda an exceedingly popular man.
His presence on the ticket Is an evil
dence that the democrats don't pro-
rose to take any chances on Cascade
county. He il weak, however. in the
fact of his connection with the town
site company and other close corpora
tions that have ruled Great Falls with
an iron hand and made fortunes out
OF its people. NJ. Hanks is a brilliant
and energetic young republican who
on the score of popularity will suffer
none In comps' ison with Mr.. Gibson.
He was the founder of the Great Falls
Tribune. served n term a. county
commissions and is president of one
of the bank Of Great Falls. In the
election of October last, the vote IN
clerk of the supreme court, which un.
doubleday ,howed the party strength,
gave 959 republican majority, which
Mr.. Hanks will undoubtedly hold.
making Cascade safe.
Choteau county had last fall on the
same basis a republican majority Of
10 but the great strength Of John Pow.
er in this county will undoubtedly in
crease this. His opponent Mr.. Duer,
lie the cashier Of one of the Power
banks and Is undoubtedly considered
q strong candidate, hut from the tone
of the press We judge that the outlook
Is very favorable for the republicans
in Choteau, which II won is a gain of
one.
Fergus county was represented last
year by a democrat. c. ]. Mcnamara,
post trader at Fort Maginnis and
q partner of Broadwater's. He IN.
doubtedly owed his election n the in
fiuence gained by this position and
the business connection with the Big
Four. The democrats now seek to
perpetuate their hold on Fergus by
nominating "Bud" Meadow, who has
effected a re.se'tlement Of depopulated
Maiden by starting up the Spotted
Horse mine, but the squirt Is only
sspurt, and moreover 1t is stated on
good authority that Mr.. Meadow has
relinquished his residence in Monta-
ma and Is now a citizen Of Michigan.
AbS touhiN gave lou lrpubil'hu MA
jo,ity last tall, which makes 1t safe for
Mr.. Bayliss, the republican candidate,
this yesr. Fergus won will give Us a
gain Of two.
Jefferson county has again nomin-
ated that stalwart # stalwarts Bob
Fisher, WIN won gsllently last fall
against u democratic majority of : aud
who L. sure TO repeat his success this
election. His splendid work in the
senate lat winter entities him to a
triumphant endorsement and he will
get it.
Madison, county though giving a
democratic majority of ia for clerk of
the court last year went republican
for all other candidates by about the
same majority electing, Senator Olds.
We know nothing of Mr.. Burns, the re-
publican nominee, but presume be will
be able to hold Madison county where
IL stood last fail. Senator Odds posi-
lively declined the nomination, hence
the substitution Of q new name. Mis-.
souls county with a safe republican
majority of over 200, is considered safe
for d. Parsons, though II il known
that q desperate effort IL to be made
to capture 1t by Mr.. DAILY. It was
republican last year and will stay 30.
Silver Bow county will be the scene
Of battle royal. Hennessy. the pres
sent democratic nominee, represented
Il last year. To oppose him the repub.
licans have nominated Pat Boland, 0
mining boss and .esident Of the min
err union, the largest local organizs.
tion o. working men in the country. As
ninety per cent Of the vote 10 cast by
the working men, the result Of course
rests with them. Last year the re-
publican state ticket had q majority OF
from 100 to $50, and IL is believed that
MI. Bolsnd's popularity with the
masses will add considerably TO this.
He himself feels confident OF the re-
suit, and he ought TO know. Silver
Bow Won is q gain Of three. Yellow.
