LIVINGSTON. Oct. Newer before In
the history Of Park county politics have
the democrats felt more hopeful or bad .
better opportunity of forever depr,ving
the county Of the title of 'the baunes -
publican county of the state" than ~ the
present time. Heretofore IL has been the
custom OF the democracy to assemble in
invention, reafiirm their allegiance to
the principles of the party as enunciated
BY jefferson. select several candidates to
go through the farce Of making n CAM
pairn. and then adjourn to sit quietly by
and let the republicans walk of with tho
Offices. This year. however. the democracy
decided to adopt different course. Tbey
realized that the time was ripe for q vic
tory: that the taxpayers were sorcly dis
tressed by the management of county
affairs; that there was n great and in.
creasing demand for q change in county
management. and that IL only depended
on their wisdom in selecting good, honest,
reliable taxpayers for the different Offices
In order for them to work o wondrous
change in the political complexion of this
county.
With this end In view the delegates
from the several precincts assembled in
Livingston, and the result Of their actions
in that convention proves that they made
none of the errors Of the past but selected
a ticket strong IN every particular ana one
which is. with possibly one or two excep-
tious. invincible.
The legislative ticket, composed OF DIR.
J. NJ. Fox of Red Lodge for senator and
Thomas 5. Ash of Livingston and J. X.
Ha,horn of the upper Yellowstone for rep
resentatives, Is all that the taxpayers
could desire. pr. Fox Is the manager OF
the Rocky Fork Goal company Is gentle
man ana scholar, Is honest and upright,
IL largely Interested IN Park county ana "
In every respect wcii quaiifed TO MI the
position to which he Will be elected. Mr..
Ashs reputation ms o business man 10 not
confined TO Park county, as no II well
known all over the state rs ono OF the
most upright and reliable business men in
Eastern Montana. Livingston feels that
shs - entitled to rsprssentaaAon IN the
state legislature. aud ns the republican
convention saw ut to give the legislative
ticket to the eastern part OF the county, u
may be relied upon that the vote Mr.. Ash
Will receive IN this city VIII 10 sufncisnf,
added to his Immense vote In other pre-
clncts, To give him a handsome majority.
The remaining candidate Is MIR. hathorn,
one of the prosperous ranchors OF the
county ana q man well qualihcd to guard
the interests OF the county In the lower
house.
For the clerkships the convention made
happy selection IN the persons OF James
A. Bailey. for clerk OF the court, and Billy
Field Tor clerk and recorder. Mr.. Bailey
has been engaged in clerical work since
he was large enough to mount Q stool
and has been connected with the district
clerks Office in this and Gallatin counties
FOR several years past. Three years ago
he was defeated Tor this Office by ma
jority OF three, but when the present
clerk. Orlando Emmons. was inducted
into Office he found II impossible TO dis
pcnsc with the services OF so valuable n
man as Mr.. Bailey and the latter was re-
tanned as deputy. The taxpayers have
decided that II republican clerks cannot
dispense with the services OF democratic
deputies that those deputies should be
allowed to reap the full reward Of their
labors. and for this reason, II for none
other, Bailey will bc elected. Mr.. Field
is well qualified for the position to which
he aspires. and as he In power among
the laboring men, and as the laborinG men
are power In this county, he will also b.
called upon To assume official duties.
