"A Correspondent Shows Why He Should
BE Nominated for Governor.
1t is quite important to every one who
has the welfare of the state at heart to have
each of the leading parties place suitable
and proper men on their tickets as candi-
dates for all of the responsible offices, to
tho end that whoeve. may be elected we
will be honored and pleased with our state
officials. The day for the trickster and
acheming politician has passed: there il
now a feeling among our people that they
will not be led altogether by party nomlna-
tons. Unless the individuals nominated
srs men of character they will in no CASE
command the entire. strength of either
party.
We do not wish at this time (or in fact
any tIme) to speak isparaeinply Of anv of
tho talented and worthy men who may az
pre- to the nomination upon the democratic
ticket. We wish to call attention in an
humble and respectful way to the name
and ability of one who in our judgement
IL worthy and we'll qualified, duly and truly
prepared, to fill the exalted p@ositlon Of gov
ernor of the great state of Montana. He ia
q man of unquestioned integrity, u man
whose moral characte. would be acceptable

lived many long years in Montana and il
we'll and favorabiy known all over it; be
has twice been honored by his own
country with an = election to the
legislature and state senate which
latter position he now holds;
no is recognized by oil who know
