Ii the interest taken in the school cleo
ton Saturday be any forecast to-dav's
contest will be Il lively one. Probably no
other municipal election in Helena has
aroused so much public spirit as has been
manifested since the campaign was opened
and agitation by the citizens movement.
Even the women have become aroused over
tue outcome. They cannot vote to-day,
but they made matters lively on Saturday
for the various candidates. Mr.. Murphy's
canvass throughout the city has developed
a very encouraging outlook for his success

the fact that he stands for the best interests
of the community at large with which lie
has so long been identified. Campaign lies
have been hawked around the streets about
his supposed reserve of manner. No one
who has had the slightest acquaintance
with Mr.. Murphy takes any stock in any
such silly sidewalk rumor. He is a man of
affairs who goes about attending to his
business. He even has not time to circu-
late rumors about his opponent, and
then he is not the kind
of a man who would stop
to such methods. Mr.. Murphy carries his
business methods into his canvass. He is
honorable aud fair. There are a good many
voters who have become tired of perennial
candidates for Office and think two terms
are enough for Mr.. Kleinschmidt. Most of
them are republicans who love their party
would fix their tickets for them. They have
not forgotten the chairman of the Iepub-
lican county committee of Lewis d Clarke
in the first state campaign.
The democratic city convention when it
nominated the choice of the Citizens con-
look the other officers. 1t did the correct
thing to put Ben Folk on the ticket for the
office which he has so ably aud we'll filled
for the past year. In this action it recog-
nized the young element of the
city. which has become such I powerful
--A-. 49, nf-,nr I'LL
rs in county and state government. Mr.,
Folk has received much favorable common
for the manly and square manner in which
, he is conducting his tight against his oppo-
I nent. Like the candidate on the head Of
I the ticket he has not resorted to any low
and despicable political tricks or cast slurs
npon the character of the man who is op-
posed to him. Mr.. Folks record for the
past year as city treasui er is before the peo-
pie, who are as well posted on the subject
as anyone. They know it to be a good one.
. Tn convention did a happy thing when
s istrate upon Mr.. Terrence O'Donnell. He
@ needs no introduction to the Helena pub
lie. Mr.. O'Donnell has long been a resi-
: dent of Helena and is widely and fayorably
t known. He is not unfamiliar with the du-
: ties of the Office. He is not SO we'll off il
: this worlds goods as ia his opponent ano
could make good use of the salary of tn,
9 Office.
t Everything will be serene for March,.
Lissner in the First ward, The republican
primary knew it's man when it refused /,
put up a candidate against him. As one O
the republicans at the primary said: "He'
a good man there's no use trying to bea
= him."
Charlie Garrett should have a walk-ove1
n to-day in the Second. Parchen's with
q drawal has left Garrett with but one oppo
nent, John II. Watson. Alderman Garret
has made n good representative in til
council from his ward and his constituent
believe in rewarding him for his past goo
services by sending him to the council fo
another term.
The fight in the Third between Dan Ma
: honey and Capt. Fuller will. no doubt, be
hot one, with the chances in favor of MI
. honey who is very popular with member
Of both parties in his ward. Dan will max
x things lively for the ex-mayor to-day.
TIL nomination of Henry M. Brandepe
by the delegates from tho Fourth ward I
the democratic and citizens conventions
