Montana Transcript. New timber
for the governorship is coming up
every day, and there Is chance for o.
mighty lively fight for the first place
on the ticket in both parties. over iu
MissOula they are talking about Frank
Higgins now, and in Butte some names
have recently been mentioned in a
stage whisper. For treasurer there is
quite as much talk, and 70 looks now
as If more than half the counties
throughout the entire state are going
to make a demand for this place from
both parties. 1t is funny whB, a lot of
wire pulling is already going on for tho
state offices and how some in iiViduals
are already quite ostensibly trimming
their sails for the still distant uominat-
ing conventions. The early beginning
of the game shows how hard the uunL
is going TO be FOR the plums. In the
municipality contest the bright partic-
ular part which has leaked out is that
Dick Jockey is going to try The lists
again for the mayOralty. This is not
affirmed upon Mr.. Jockeys own au-
thority, but comes off the boursc i'm a
mass of gossip without special refer
ence 30 authenticity.
