BUTTE, Aprll b.-Ine cftizens' ucket.
headed by that sterling citizen. E. b.
Howell, Is gaining in strength and popu-
larity every hour. The issue has become
so plain that every voter is beginning to
recognize it. The populists are solid
for Howell and he has the enthusi-
astic support OF 95 per cent. OF the demo-
Gratis, and the names of scores of promi-
nent republicans could be given who will
vote for him.
The Thompson republicans are trying
hard to find something derogatory to say of
Mr.. Howell, but the worst thing they have
yet sprung on him is that he is an edu-
Gated man and an ex-teacher-an accusa-
ton that certainly could not be made
against Mr.. Thompson. They are also
industriously circulating the story that he
had pledged himself to appoint certain
men to office. Mr.. Howell stated to the
STANDARD this evening that the report
was an entire falsehood and that he. bas
not promised anything to anybody.
~ am absolutely unpledged," said he,
"and would not make the race on any
other condition"
Those who know Mr.. Howell will re-
quire no other assurance than his denial
that the reports are false. Mr.. Howell
will make one of the best mayors Butte
has ever had.
The Bystander, the populist paper, says
of him: Edward b. Howell was born in
| the state of Iowa in 1857. He graduated
at Iowa college in 1879, and Immediately
| came to Montana as principal of the
schools at Virginia City. He came to
Butte in 1880, as the teacher of the High
school in this city. In 1881 he returned to
Iowa and took a course in law at the state
university. He graduated from the law
| school in 1882, and in the same year re-
ceved the degree of A. NJ. from his alma
mater. He then returned TO Butte as the
city superintendent of schools. His sub
sequent life is well known to the people
| of this city. His writings on the silver
question have placed him in the first rank
| of silver advocates. He was among the
first of western writers to be recognized
| by eastern papers, and through thls
| agency he has performed meritorious
services TO the cause OF silver and the IN
| terest of the people of this state. His
l.work should be endorsed by the people OF
Butte. He is not an A. p. A"

!. The fact that the names of the cand
dates on the citizens ticket will appea
on the ballot as both democrats and pop'
2 lists may possibly lead to some confusion
!. Voters should remember that in order I
make their ballots perfectly legal the
must only vote for the cand
k dates as either democrats or pop
q lists. One cross after one nan
8 of each candidate is all thu
is required. While the voters intentio

!. whether or not the courts would hold tn;
the ballots were legal. In order to be c
