WOMEN VOTE
FOR PRESIDENT

For the first time in the history OF this
country an opportunity for women to pub
licly express their choice for president Is
offered. The method is unique and will re-
suit in showing on Nov. 4th just what effect
the woman's vote will have on national
affairs.
A manufacturer who has business relations
with most of the prominent newspapers in
the United States proposes the plan as
follows:
All women over IS are entitled to one
vote. The votes by states will be shown
In the papers on every Wednesday and Sat
urday until Nov. 4th. Women are requested
to read more than one side of the question
and act upon their own judgment. Write
the name of candidate on a postal card and
write your own name and address clearly
also city and state. On the lower left hand
corner give the name OF banker or grocer
who knows you.
This precauton is to prevent flooding the
mail with fictitious votes. Names unknown
to grocer or banker will be thrown out.
Be very careful to write clearly and an
acknowledgment Oh the receipts OF each
vote will be sent to the fair voter. Send
the postal to Postum Cereal Food Conee

In one OF the many redhot political dis
cussions constantly under way in front OF the
democratic headquarters a well known popu-
list yesterday was compelled to admit that
he had a selfish interest in the election of
Bryan. The man did not become a populist
until several months after the Chicago plat
form was promulgated, but as election day
draws near he has become very enthusl-
astic Bryanite. In the discussion yesterday
the fact was developed that he had con-
verted every available dollar of his money
into gold, had drawn 1t from the banks and
was boarding 1t with the conviction that
each dollar would be worth two If Bryan
was elected.
80 you expect to be well paid for your
vote for Bryan?" said his interlocutor
Yes, SIR" said the populist, "and II
Bryan is elected I will more than double
my money. l recolect when gold went to
$40 in this country and in the present
conditions l believe 1t will do better than
that"

wANToN SLAUGHTER OF DEER.
Game Killed In Montana by Sports

Game Killed In Montana by Sports
men Just for the Fun of the Thing.
W. H. Wright tells in Recreation where
much of Montana's game has gone. He says:
81 have known two self-called sportsmen
to leave Spokane for two days, and on re-
turning tell of having killed sixty-three deer,
a story the ranchman at whose home they
put up corroborated. That was years ago.
1t would take long hunt there now to kill
siXty-three deer. / once knew a man to go
and make a winter camp and kill over 100
deer which he hung up. He tried to sell
them where they hung, but failed. He
went east somewhere, where he lived, and
I've never heard of him since. He claimed
casses in sight near his camp the following
spring.
while going from Palmer's lake, in
Washington, to the Salmon river, / passed
through Toatscoulee, and stopped over night
near small lake on which was camped
party of hunters. 1t would have been
easy to load a four-horse wagon with the
heads OF deer alone that were piled up in
one place. There were deer carcasses all
about the camp.
II could name more than fifty OF such
hunters who have killed thousands Of deer
and left them where they fell. Only last
winter two men left Spokane and killed
thirty-three deer in Idaho, not bringing out
a pound of meat to show for 1t.
'I have seen many Indian hunts, one OF
which resulted in the death of over 400
deer but not one of the deer was wasted.
The Indians hunt and then eat the meat
before they hunt again. They kill to eat
but the whites kill for fun. Last spring
one man in the Bitter Root valley killed
seven elk without stirring from his tracks
Not one was saved"
