The constitution of Montana wisely
prohibited the reelection OF state treas
urers. 1t was an oversight that tho
provision was not applied to county
%treasurers. The defect can be easily
cured by making a change in that office
right now. With a view to meeting
Just such a demand the democratic
county convention nominated for tho
office an honest, capable and faithful
Young man, Alderman @. b. Garrett.
He is a man who commands the respect
Of u business community and who
will acquit himself with credit in the re-
sponsible office to which he will be-
elected.
County Attorney Nolan's record IN Of
fee was such as to cause a demand from
good citizens Of all parties for his reten-
ton. 1t Is hardly necessary TO COM
mend him again to the voters of this
county. They all know him, respect
him and like him. He is one Of the easy
n
For assessor every taxpayer wants a
man who knows how to assess. There
is but one candidate who meets the re-
quirement and his name is William j.
Beckett. He is experienced in the work
and has proved his business capacity
and integrity in every place he has held.
This office has nothing to do with poll
tics and Mr. Beckett will get not only
the support of his party, but the votes
of hundreds of republicans as we'll.
We want q good bookkeeper and ao-
countant for auditor, and Sol Poznanski
is n of the best in the city Of Helena.
His equipment for the office is far be-
yond that Of his competitors.
Miss G. l.. Turnkey has performed the
duties of superintendent of schools most
admirably and has won the praise of all
who know the thoroughness and efici-
ENJOY of her work. She should and will
be reelected.
One of our most worthy citizens, a
man of ability and integrity, Is John w.
Wade. He did not seek the Office of
county surveyor, but was nomin ated for
it because the people wanted him and
propose to elect him.
1t is rare that so busy and able a ply
stefan as DR.. I. H. Peasants will accept
the office of coroner. 1t is a time for a
change in this office and DR.. Peasants
is the coming man.
The office of public administrator re.
quires a man Of honesty and business
capacity. Mindful of that fact the dem
ocrats have nominated to fill it our pop
ular young German townsman, f. M.
Straub. Mr.. Straub has been making a
rafting canvass, and his election is one
of the assured things of the contest.
The party has been peculiarly FORUM
ate in the kind Of men it has presented
for county commissioners for several
years past. How carefully the interests
of the county were protected under the
ol,oio trofiDr ~ pnooh orl H,,rtir ool
by their successors, Knight and Edger-
ton, every taxpayer in the county knows.
The record made by these gentlemen
was something to be proud of. This
year MI. Beach has been again induced
to accept the nomination. Two men
who command the confidence and re-
spect of the entire community, Will
lam Muth and Sam L%anghorne are on
the ticket with him. No stronger
board, one better calculated to COM
mand the confidence and votes of the
people, was over presented by any party.
They are all three superior men and as
they have purely business functions to
perform, it is safe to predict that all of
them will be elected by large majorities
IN a sensible business community.
Now, democrats, to your posts of duty.
You haven't missed an opportunity thus
far. Don't lose the fight by negligence
or over-confdence.
THINGS TO BEAR IN BIND.
