A VETERAN wORKINGMAN'S VIEWS.
He Gives Many Sound Reasons why Paris
Gibson Should be Elected State
Senator.

Gibson Should be Elected State
Senator.
EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:-It is a fact
that Paris Gibson has been, and is now,
one of the best and most liberal employ
ers of labor IN Montana. There are fifty
men in Great Falls and vicinity who have
been employed by Mr.. Gibson for q num-
Der Of years who will testify to this and
who are supporting him on his merit. as
a man, and his efficiency, for state senator.
There is much printers ink wasted in the
"~twaddle" about the workinginan, his
rights, pay and privileges, about election
time and only at election time.
The first and best friend to the work
ingman must be himself. The next is
the labor market where he can get the
highest price for his labor. We're it not
for the Townsite Co. the labor market in
Great Falls city would be poor indeed.
and town lots and acre property would
return to the value they had at the time
Paris Gibson located the townsite.
Every one knows that it is owing to the
efforts and influence OF the Townsite Co.
the present prosperity and the future of
Cascade county will be due.
There is no one-and | make no ex-
~ceptions-no one from the first more in
terested none so able, active or industri

tending to promote the growth and Eos.
perity of this place Mr.. Gibson must of
necessity be prominent. The people
know him and have confidence in him.
Every interest of his is centered tere, of
his children and grandchildren.
Pride in the appearance and prospects
of the city, a close interest in Its business
affairs as we'll as in the whole country
bring Paris Gibson before the people us
a representative man, square, broad
shouldered and level-headed. In what
ever light we look at it Mr.. Gibson is the
best man we have-the very best equip
ped man in Montana for state senator,
by education, training and habits of life.
In public affairs we have to consult tile
public good before that Of any party or
faction. The interests of this commun-
ity, the welfare of our people must be
vastly of more importance to US all than
any other that comes up. 1t is of second
airy interest who fills the offices in city or
county. 1t is worth considering that
other counties in the state will do them
selves honor and much credit in electing
their very best men. We must not lag
behind. Our county is younger than our
city, hence the need of putting forward
to represent our interests and
a representative %eminently qualified, as
Mr.. Gibson is conceded to be. We are
called upon to place the people before
party and the peoples interests before
that of any political ring or clique. Paris
Gibson is the best card we hold, with him
we win the game. Independent republi-
cans support him and will vote for him.
The old veterans say he is the best man
and will fight it out on that line. This
1slthe highest mark of confidence and es,
TEEN where both parties unite in endors-
ing a prominent business man on account
of his abilities and usefulness.
