GOOD WORK.
The democratic primaries last even
ing we're largely attended and the bust
ness was transacted with harmony n
enthusiasm. The aldermanic candl-
dates we're we'll chosen. Without ex-
ception all are known to be good cltl-
zens who will be honest, intelligent and
fearless in the discharge Of their duties.
There need be no suspicion Of jobbery
when these men are placed in charge.
Jacob Post, a young man VINO mas
had q successful business career, VIII
carry the First ward banner. he Is
capable and popular and will easily win
in this reliable democratic district.
In the Second ward Barnard Brown
and H. @. Burgard we're nominated Tor
the short and long terms. MIR. Brown
is a public-spirited citizen who has given
abundant proof Of his value in the adj
vancement Of the city's interests. Ii
elected to the council he will be on the
side Of progress. Mr.. Burgard, the pro-
prietor Of the Cosmopolitan hotel, is we'll
known to all voters in the ward and lie
very popular. He is a man to be trusted
and will attract the support Of 9 large
majority Of voters.
The nomination Of Captain Fl. S
Howell in the Third ward was exceed
ingly fortunate. His long and honor
able career in this state is without {
stain and he has satisfactorily filed al
offices entrusted to his care. 1t goes
without saying that he will make ar
admirable alderman for the Third.
Colonel W. B. Hundley's abilities
have been tested and he has never beer
found wanting. He was one of the first
mayors of Helena and during his term
gave evidence of possessing all the quail.
tiles needed for the administration o.
municipal affairs. His long residence
in Montana and his successful business
career will likewise appeal for the sup
port of all classes of voters in the
Fourth.
The Fifth ward nominee is P. M. Col
Inns, train dispatcher Of the Montana
Central railway. He came here aheac
of the Great Northern and has long hello
responsible positions with that company
He is we'll fitted for duties which de-
mand a cool brain and sound judgment
The democrats of the Sixth ward have
again shown their confidence in DAME
Hanley by renominating him. He hal
heen a valuable alderman, honest, faith
full and capable, and will assuredly b.
reelected, for his constituents know
him to be all right.
Joseph Evans will make a strong fight
in the Seventh. He is a contractor,
large property owner and a man VIII,
will look we'll after the interests of tax
PAYERS. His nomination was r%eceive'
with great satisfaction and he will hav
the support Of many independent voter
who appreciate the value of a good a
derman.
The work last evening was we'll done
1t is, indeed, difficult to see how j
could have been improved. If the sam
policy of choosing only the best men
carried out in the city convention Thurs
day evening this city will be goyerne
next year as it should be.
sOUELCH THE "SURE THING" GAM
What is the meaning Of all this poll
ical activity in the "sure thing" gan
bling element?
Is there q citizen in Helena WI
thinks for an instant that these wolvt
are after anything but protection +,
the coming year?
1t is time for the people to f
down on these enemies of goo
order in n way that will dispose
them as political %factros. Every vot
in this town who respects himself, wi
has interests in the welfare OF Il
city, who believes that the laws of Mo

prove IA traitor to all that is just a
reasonable if he does not use his pow
to send the "sure thing" crowd to t
rear. Every gambler or proprietor of
gambling house who pays his licer
and is protected by law should see tn
he receives what is due him.
That the gambling laws have be
openly and shamefully violated duri
the administration Of Mayor Kle
schmidt is a notorious fact. Thiev
who are too cowardly to knock q n
down and steal his purse, have been
ported into Helena for the sole purp'
of robbing men by trick faro boz
They have been paid for this work
an element that assisted in electing
present mayor, and naturally expec
favors. The result of all this work
