rcallv % very costly Judge. Judge
Brantly tried 30 criminal cases in
Deer Lodge county at a cost of ST.
1870; Fudge Woody tried IL Grim
inal cases in Missoula county at a
cost of G,l75. 90. In Ravalli county
Judge Woody tried II cases at cost
of 81, 905.50, while Judge Brantly in
Granite county tried 13 cases at a
cost of SO ,236. 40. So it will be seen
that on the score of economy Judge
Woody should not be retained. There
are numerous other charges made
against Judge Woody which will
have to be explained before he can
succeed himself, and we fear that he
will be unable to give. satisfactory
explanations.-The Plainsman, Horse

-Four years ago the republican vote

-Four years ago the republican vote
in Montana was 1921, the demo-
cratic II ,5Sl, and the populist 1884,
the majority Of the two combined
over the republican vote being G,064.
Two years ago the republican vote
was % ,l40, the democratic l0,369,
and the populist 1920, the majority
Of the two combined over the re-
publican vote being 2,469, Il loss Of
ma ority to the combined forces Of
1856. If al the parties have gained
in the last two years the same rs
they did in those two years between
1892 and 1904, the republicans will
this year have majority over the
fusion Of ,l2G. The indica lions are
that the gain has been equal to the
former one, and the republicans have
no need to fear for the success OF
their state ticket. -

1t is said that Mr.. Faulds was
quite willing to accept the nomina-
tOn from his central committee to
the place on the legislative ticket
made vacant by the dcclination Of
Mr.. Smalley, but the committee,
mindful Of tile last election, couldn't
see it in that way. We are glad they
did not place hfm on the ticket for
two reasons. The first is that his
readers would undoubtedly lave had
to endure the at1liction OF seeing
both the single and double col
ulnn cuts Of himself printed in
his paper over the title of "Thc
Inyinciblc,' and the second is that
he is such an easy mark there would
be no credit to Kennedy and Roberts
to defeat him. Perhaps Mr.. Woods
will not take it as a compliment, but
he is certainly better candidate
than Faulds.

ICDGESlIIp CANDIDATES.

The real contest in Missoula and
Ravalli] county is to be between
Judge Woody and Judge Reeves,
democratic and fusion candidates,
respectively, for the Office of Judge of
the fourth judicial district Of Mon
tana. Each of the gentlemen has a
strong following, and the fight prom
ises to: be very bitter before ended.
1T is pity that there is not some
other plan for elccting judges, for it
matters not how fair man may be
on the bench, if elevated to the posi-
tion through political election he can
not but remember his friends pleas
antly and use his great power, if the
opportunity presents itself, to get
even with his enemies. Judge Woody
is an old resident Of Missoula county
and has many warm friends who will
give him their loyal support, but it
is acknowledged that since his elcya-
tion to the bench he has made few
friends and lost many. lie is utterly
destitute Of that quality which for

remarked that he invariably sides

about 25 per cent of the guilty par
ties are apprehcndcd, and for trivial
crimes, especially in large cities, not
more than 10 per cent Of those ar

PURCHASING THE TRIBUNE EDITOR.

II Baggs thinks the sold man. Of

For the life of us we cannot see
what the sold man. is after Baggs
for now Daggs isn't running for
office, neither do we presume that
Bagggs is worrying himself over the
sold man's' financial deals. In re-
gard to the sentence about "purchas-
ing the Tribune editor" we have
this, however, to say: Two years ago,
after the republicans Of Rayalli
county were unable to come to terms
with Mr.. Ruff, Of the Hamilton
Times, who profcsscd to be rcpub-
lican, Mr.. Baggs, on behalf of the
republicans, asked the cold man
for his terms for space in the Tribune
in which to advocate republican sue
cess in the county election. Tho
sold man. refused to make deal
and then the RAvALLI REPUBLICAH
was started. During the following
campaign the "old man" loudly an(
frequently cxtollcd his own unpur
chasablc virtue. Mark the sequel
This year the ''old man" has made
with the populists the same dea
which Baggs wanted hirn to maxi
with the republicans two years ago
and for refusing which he praiset
himself for three months. The s'olt

relapse this year, for the populist
have "purchascd the Tribune edi

There is much to be said in favor
Of continuing in office those whose
duties are clerical, requiring famil-
iaritv with the archives. The
county clerk, for instance, requires
the better portion Of term, and his
deputies, too, to lamlarizc them
selves with the intricacics Of the Of
ticc. A new man is at Il loss to do
his duty in not knowing the ropes.
Especially is this SO as clerk Of the
board Of county commissioners, whose
duty it is to advise and assist in all
the county government. Many Il
board Of county commissioners has
been saved from costly error by the
interpOstion and directions Of the
clerk. This is one Of many reasons
why one good term in county office
deserves anothcr.-McsScngcr (dcm).
The above exactly fits the situa-
tion in Ravalli county. Mr.. Will
lams, the present clerk and rccOr-
der, has become thoroughly familiar
with every duty of his office, is post
cd on the needs OF every section OF
the county, and is a valued adviser
Of the board. Every interest Of the
taxpayers requires his retention in
their service.
