elsewhere declining the nomination 10
coroner on the Independent ticket
The doctor is a steadfast Republican
and says he has no fault to find wit
the ticket nominated by the Republi
cans.
Now Mr.. Deaton is termed a banl
candidate-three bank candidates for
sheriff, did you ever hear OF the like
If they could all be elected there would
be no danger from sudden raids OF
that institution by wild and woody
robbers.
Thee. Reynolds of the Montana
Stage Co., was in town Sunday last
He reports that the surplus stock or
the north end of the line will shortly
be brought to Lewistown and a daily
four horse line established between
this town and Gilt Eige.
River Press: "The River Press is in
receipt OF a pile OF tariff literature, fol
which it is indebted to Senator Dan
Voorhees,, OF Indiana. The stuff is just
about as interesting as last years
almanac, and anyone whose taste
runs to that kind of readi lg is invited
to call and pack it away" Here, too
While J.. NJ. Parent is personally
an excellent gentleman, it does not
follow that he is the only man in the
county fitted for the office OF superin-
tendent OF schools. In Mr.. Moulton
the Republicans have presented IA man
who is in every way qualified for the
position and is deserving OF the peo-
pies support at the polls.
Il. II. DAILY returned from Madison
county Saturday last accompanied by
Mrs. II. X. Daily, nee Miss Mary
O'Heron OF Appleton, Wis. Miss
O'Heron was visiting with relatives in
Madison county and vas joined in
wedlock with Mr.. DAILY at L.aurin City
on the 18th ult., Father Pauline per-
forming the ceremony. The couple
will make their home in Lewistown.
The stockmen, woolgrowers and
ranchmen of Fergus county should
not further increase their burdens of
taxation by voting to locate the CAPT
tai Mt Anaconda. Thecopper corpor-
alton does not pay its full share OF
taxes on its visible wealth and moth
ing on its valuable mines. There is
no doubt that the corporation will at
tempt to control legislation for its
own benefit.
Montgomery Ward d Co. of Chica-
go have been flooding the country re-
Gently with lists OF remittances re-
manning uncalled for in their hands.
Among a list of those who sent money
to the firm without signing their names
We note the following from Fergus
county: Ubet, 81, 45 c., 81, rs c.;
Lewistown 1925, so; Cottonwood,
81; Maginnis, PC C. Is any OF this
money yours?
Maurice Sullivan and the editor OF
the Mud Geyser returned from Helena
Saturday, both wearing Days capital
badge-the copper collar. They are
the first seen in Lewistown and are
truly mathematical, the capitol build
ings being represented in the center of
a copper ring. The people of Mon
tana do not want their laws enacted
and enforced within the grasp of a
foreign corporation and will see that
no copper ring surrounds the capitol.
Assessor Gilkerson states that the
amount which the examiner finds is
due Fergus county from his Office will
shortly be paid over. The assessors
are allowed twenty cents each for
statistics from each taxpayer and the
state is still owing Mr., Gilkerson a
considerable sum on this account.
Whether this is Forthcoming or not
Mr.. Gilkerson will shortly settle with
Fergus county in full. Clerk Kelly
states that he will pay into thecounty
treasury by the 18th inst. all tees due
from his office.
At n caucus OF the Independent dele
gates held the evening previous to the
convention, the name OF Chas. M.
Clary WAS used in connection with the
nomination for sheriff. Mr.. Kane Wis.,
tied Mr.. Cleary early Saturday morn
ing and the gentleman sen word back
that no one vas authorized to use his
name and that he would under nc cir
cumstances accept the nomination.
Mr.. Clary made n good fight but recog.
nizing that he was fairly beaten he
supports the nominee. Such action
makes friends among your enemies.
j. |. Corbly called at the ARGrs
Office Saturday and desired that our
statement OF his political record be
corrected insofar as we said that he
was once a Republican. We are more
than pleased to make this correction
ss it was with n sense OF grief that we
saw "A man whom we thought had
once stood on the same platform with
Americas enlightened statesmen, fall
into the political oblivion that Mr..
Corbiy now occupies. His errors are
due to the lack OF early training. The
Republican party is to be congratu-
lated.
In H.. A. Moulton candidate for SUI
perintendent of schools, the Republi-
cans have named candidate in every
way worthy of support, not only OF
his party but every voter interested
in the welfare OF our schools. Mr..
Moulton was fitted for Bowdoin col
lege in Maine at 10 years of age and
