immaculate gall of the two recognized
schemers on the "Sligh" ticket; but
not 50, my friends. Let me give you
little modern history In Silver
Bow county the republican county con-
vention split One portion of it met
and was known as the "Mantle'' or
Caplice Hall convention, the other
was known as the Auditorium or
"A. P. A." convention. The Caplice
Hall convention met first III Silver

placed under the state head of 'silver

or ga. P. A. - republicans having been
thus anticipated by the Caplice Hall
republicans. circulated a petition all
over the state of Montana and petit
toned in Bryan electors and Chas.

state ticket headed ''citizens silver

ticket for Silver Bow county will ap-
pear under this state head on their
county ballot NowHas soon as Messrs.
Pardee, Sigh and other candidates
on their ticket heard of this they i'm

head Of the citizens silver ticket.
Not satisfied with stealing the name
of the regular silver republicans of
this county they also steal the name of
| the A. P AS. of Silver Bow county.
Their only cry for recognition in
Granite county is that the Dingwall
ticket is an A. P A. ticke t. and if
this is so, they go to tho polls under
their stolen banner Ye Gods! who
ever heard of such "pie bald ANIMAL
as this. Democrats with a republican
head populsts with do,@ocrat TAIL
silver republicans with golllhg nomi
nee for treasurer, and all marching
under an A. p. A. banner! 1t may be
asked why the DingwaIl ticket was not
placed under the head Of the state citi-
zens' silver ticket. The answer is
simple: They are not candidates of
an A. P. A. organization and conse-
uuently bad no right to the use Of
their recognized flag. They prefer
ru ming on merit, and merit alone;
they are all srauIch free silver men
honest citizens-and if elected would
not be second addition Of the Morse
Cain -Freyschlag gang of two wears age.
Now these "Sligh' people believe in
building their political foundation on
the cry of A. P. Aism that it is not
sufficiently strong and potent enough
to bear the disgrace Of their election
they therefore resort to the last ditch
of hungry, unprincipled politician,
and Judging the voters of this county
by temselves, think they are too 1gnor
ant to vote as they prefer. The
"Sligh' people evidently think that
after the ordinary voter gets one
nauseating glance of the head Of their
ticket that they will be too indisposed

where for mud hole. They think
that by playing on prejudice and trust
ing to ignorance they will secure their
support from the taxpayers Of Granite
county for several years. Now the
Bryan Silver Republican nominees and
the nominees of the Independent Silver
Party give the good people of Granite
county ample credit of being able to
vote intelligently, Messrs. Sigh and
Pardee's opinion to the contrary not
withstanding they do not believe any
great number of her voters are ignOr-
} ant enough to be unable to put cross
\ mark after the name Of their choice
they prefer to run on their merit,
and as the regular nominees OF two pO-
litical organizations. The Independ-
ent Silver Party, being local Organi-
zatiOn created for county purposes,
having no state organization, cannot
appear under the head of any national
or state ticket. do not believe that
the people of Granite county can be
tricked into voting for Messrs Sigh
: and others. I believe by this transpar-
ent fraud itself they will lose many
votes from the indignant voters who
can plainly see through such duplicity
I do not believe the voters of this
county intend anyone shall be bene-
fitted who juggles with law so bene
fetal to the public when properly used
as the Australian system of voting
II these people are really A. +. AS.
why do not they place their ticket
under the "citizens' silver ticket alone ?
and if they are anita. P. AS why
have they not the courage Of their con-
victions and vote ballot so desig-
mated? The truth is, they have found
there is no merit in their cry of A. P.
A. and that it has no vote-catching
value and are now making desperate
efforts to get elected through techni-
cality and fraud. -Non-Sectarian.
You say you will not support Sigh
Then why should you support any por-

has dictated?

but he is one of the people, and will
be elected.
