1t is really amusing to read the Gey-
ser's editorials about the building up
that has injured Lewistown more than
any other point in the state. A town
cannot thrive when the industries that
hold it up are crippled. A fool should
know that much.
A message was received here Monday
stating that the Great Northern line
would be tied up at noo its entire
length. About the only things that
are running these days are your totes
and mortgages and the tongues of
Democratic congressman. These will
close down in time.

is "a candidate for county treasurer,
and +. u. Chandler, who would the
ject to the choice of the Republican
county convention.

Big Sandy is one OF the liveliest lit
tie places in Montana at the present

Says the River Press: A consider
Fort Benton these days, but the crop
OF Democrats accompaniment is much
smaller than two years ago. There
never were many Democratic wool
growers in Montana, but what few
there were have disappeared like the
price of wool. The Montana Demo-
cratic wool men have about all joined
the Republicans, where they are ad-
mlrable for mixing purposes.
The ARGUs will give earnest support
to the nominees of the forthcoming
Republican county convention, trust
ing III it's wisdom to make good selec-
tIons. However, we wish to say that
the statement made by the Geyser,
that John ID. Waite made promises to
a local candidate regarding the posi-
ton of TAILOR in cast OF his election, is a
malicious lie. The reference was to
VIM. Medigar, and anyone can learn its
untruthfulness by consulting. him.
