ELECT CARR EFT.

A vote for Clarence B. Garrett signi-
ties a vote for clean, capable and faith
full charge of the city treasury. 1t will
be a trust faithfully and satisfactorily
performed by a man entitled to the full
support Of t%axpaying citizens.
MI. CARROTS career in this commu-
nifty is an open book. 1t is that of a
young man above reproach. In all his
business relations can be found ample
evidence OF business capability and
honesty. During q term in the council
where he was always recognized as q
good worker, he became thoroughly ia,
miliar with relations between the city
treasurer's office and the city govern
mont. This knowledge will prove valu-
able in his conduct of the office to which
he will be elected. Besides he possesses
all other qualifications and has a wide
acquaintance in the city. All who have
business with the city treasurer will
find prompt, courteous and business
like attention.
He is the right MA for the place and
should be elected.

RICHARD JOCKEY, oBsTRUCTIoNIs1.
Well, you saw something yesterday OF
the ohstructionists. You saw them
crawl out of their holes. gather On the
streets, ,.button-holing voters and rails.
ing the old cry, all for the purpose of
defeating the special school tax. Many
good citizens voted against the tax for
reasons which they believed excellent,
but obstructionists voted against be-
cause it was a tax. The two things
that make the obstructionists' blood
hot are taxes and subscriptions for
public enterprises. They are active
only when asked to give a dollar for the
good of the town. They came out yes
terday in force to fight taxation, but
fortunately we're too small in numbers to
accomplish their ends. As a ons
quence, the schools will run right along
as usual instead of being closed for the
purpose Of saving few dollars to the
enemies of progress.
These are the people who are working
most strenuously for Col. Jockeys cleo
ton. He is one of their kind. They
can depend on his veto on every occa-
sion when public-spirited aldermen de-
eide to appropriate money for better
streets, moro lights, enlarged sewers and
other public improvements involving
expense. They know his record as a
t~ireless fighter Of taxes and they trust
him to protect them from all personal
expenditure for public improvement.
They know he never quits on a prop
osition to get rid of taxes, even when he
is righteously defeated in the courts.
Col. Jockey is the representative
leader of this class and must be beaten
tomorrow if we are to havo a live and
progressive city government at this time
when when we are employing every
means to secure Helena's prestige
among northwestern cities.
He must be beaten in the interest of
ali small property owners, who can only
realize on their holdings as tho growth
of the city makes an increased demand
for property.
If he Is not beaten, there will be more
encouragement for the workers against
public improvement, and this means {
hard set back to the town.
Get together tomorrow, you friend,
Of progress, you taxpayers who do no
kick against honest taxation, you me-
who have homes and investments i
Helena and hope to make it a great city
Get together and accomplish this OF
J structionist's defeat in a way that vi
silence tho voices Of men who are seek
} ing to hold back Helena!

AT NINErY-sEvEN CENTS.

While THE INDEPENDENT docs not
propose to carry the fight beyond hon
est lines, it is proper to note the action
Of an official whose department has
been studiously avoided in the Herald's
fruitless search for "protligaoy and
waste" This is the city treasurer, who
failed to secure a denomination for rea-
sons we'll known in this community. 1t
was perhaps n desire for revenge that
induced him to employ unworthy means
to strengthen the Herald's contempti-
bic method OF injuring tho city's credit
by strings Of falsehoods.
Sales of city warrants have always
occurred ut - o'clock on the day ar-
pointed. This has been the custom for
years and prospective bidders have only
remembered the day named and have
appeared at noon. The city treasurer,
however, in his anxiety to defeat the re-
election of Mayor Curtin, broke all prec-
edents by fixing the hour Of the sale at
10 o'clock. AT that time there was only
one bidder, Il representative OF Col.
Cruise, of the Cruise Savings bank.
When he learned that other bank
ers had been deceived through
the city t%reasurer's smart work,
he courteously withdrew his bid and
the city warrants were afterwards sold
at 81 cents. This figure shows the con-
fidence of Helena bankers in the out
rageous lie that the city government of
Helena is bankrupt. Bankers are not
buying warrants at the high price of 81
cents from bankrupt cities.
This is substantial refutation OF the
Herald's campaign Of falsehood against
the finances and credit Of Helena and
needs no further and no better contra
diction.

THE POLICE MAGISTR ATE.

II Thomas +. Crutcher is elected
police magistrate, and all things point
that way, the city will be fortunate in
having the service of a mnn eminently
qualified for the office. He is superbly
equipped. lie has a fine legal training
which is a most valuable requisite; he
possesses a sound and keen Judgment
and is known to be a broad-minded and
liberal man.
Certainly no better candidate could
be named for the office and it is the
duty Of all good citizens to give a gen,
erous support to his candidacy. The
police magistrate deals with a class o.
cases requiring a good knowledge of hu
man nature. The punishment of petty
| criminals demands this, while important
litigation often started in this court re
quires a Judge possessed of q thorough
understanding of the law.
There is absolutely no criticism OF

Tho Herald Kicks, Too

The ways Of political conventions arc
past finding out. year ago Mr.. Gage was
nominated for police magistrate and in the
election that ensued. though the democrats
carried the city. he was elected by a very
large majority. He has performed his
duties in such a name that no word OF
criticism or complaint has been heard. At
the convention of yesterday he sought a re-
nomination. and according to all custom.
especially in tue case of an officer, it should
have been given to him. But notwithstand-
ing tho evidence of his popularity that was
furnished by his previous election. his ex-
cellent record as an officer and uniform
usage, he was put aside. In protesting
against this action we do not mean to re-
feet upon his successful competitor. Mr..
Fleischer is an excellent man, fully dese.v-
ing Of the confidence Of ths party and the
people, and he will have no more hearty
supporter than his comrade of tho Grand
Army, Judge Gage Fridays Herald.

ANOTHER OF Jockeys BILLS.

Representative Jockeys legislative
record Ia that Of an obstructionist
straight through. He not only fought
appropriations and endeavored to dis
franchise voters who were not taxpay-
ers, but actually e%ndeavored to cut
down tho wages of school teachers who
are poorly paid at the best. This is a
hobby with Mr.. Jockey for he opposed
the appropriations made by the school
trustees to continue the salaries OF
teachers during the Christmas vacation.
Failing in this he carried the matter to
the legislature whore he introduced the
following bill:
An act to amend section 1898 of the fifth
division of the compiled statutes.
BE it enacted by the legislative assembly Of
the state Of Montana:
Section l. That section 1898 Of the fifth
division of tho compiled statutes OF Mon
tana be. and the same is hereby amended
SO rs to read as follows, to-wit:
Section 1893. In every contract whether
written or oral, between any teacher and
any board Of trustees, the school month
shall be construed and taken to be twenty
days, or four weeks of five school daya
each. The following days and no others
shall be regarded as holidays on which nc
teacher shall be required to teach school:
Saturdays, SUNDAYS. the LIST day OF January,
the 22d day of February. the Both day of
May. the 4th day OF July. the 1st Monday
Of September. Thanksgiving day, Christmas
day. and no deduction must be made from
the teachers time or wages by reason of
failurs to teach OH such days.
Section 2. All acts or parts of acts in
conflict with the provisions of this act are
hereby repealed
The bill was killed because our late
legislature with all its faults was not
mean enough to stand that. The pres
emit law provides that each county may
hold q teachers institute once a year
and that teachers shall be paid regular
salaries while in attendance. Gener-
GUS Mr.. Jockey proposed to knock this
out. Under this bill ii a teacher were
injured in saving children from a school
house fire and in consequence kept in
bed for a month or more the trustees
would be obliged to cut off her salary
for that interval.

"While the case was pending the
Herald refrained from commenting
upon it. Now that the court has
spoken, it is e%minently proper to express
an opinion. Mr.. Jockey has no reason
to feel proud OF his break. In view of
the holding Of the court, he stands to-
day before the people in the light of an
obstructionist and n marplot. He
sought to avoid payment of taxes which
many less wealthy citizens would gladly
have settled, and by his actions merits
the contempt of all law-abiding tax
payers. His efforts to subvert local
government and injure the credit OF
Helena has met with a fate it deserves
and he is left in a ridiculous attitude.
But then what can you expect of a man
like Dick Lockey?"-Helena Herald,

GIVE NO CHANCES.

We have heard the sentiment expressed
fifty times in the last fifty hours. Give the
kicker a chance."-Helena Herald, March 81.
What for? Why should the people of
Helena give a chance to a man who
never did q stroke of work to make the
town larger or better? Why give a
chance to a man who has fought most
| persistently all taxation and who never
encouraged new enterprises or indus
tries.
What would he do il had the chance?
AS Patrick Henry once said, the only
guido for the future is the light OF ex-
perience, and Helena's experience with
Mr.. Jockey is that he is an eternal and
never ceasing kicker against the things
which are needed to make this city 20.
No! no! We must not give any
chances in the government of local
affairs to kickers more than to give
them an honest chance to win, if they
can. Tho city government has power to
do a great amount Of good in the way Of
improvements, but if kickers are in
charge, the power will be used to cut
down all improvements and send Hell,
1 ena a long way behind her vigorous
competitors.

The real trouble Is nervous pr ,strstion

have to come back here, and whether he
could not stay day or two, aud then re-

Other evidence that the president is
troubled about himself is that he has
said to friends that IL wasn't pleasant to
think OF leaving all his causes to man
who was Numerically opposed to most
OF them. The Inference in the minds OF
the friends was that the country might
be deprived OF its president and the Dem
ocratic party OF its leader.
