After boxing the political compass THE NEW
NORTHWEST Of Deer Lodge has returned to the
republican fold. During the past few years, since
Captain Mills retired from the paper, 1t has been
a populist ogran and lately booster for the DEM

Hersey will assume editorial control of THE NEW
NORTHWEST. We shall expect to see Deer Lodge
county make a republican record next fall. 1t
should with two good republican papers. The
Anaconda Recorder has always been true blue and
succeeded in dividing the offices with the demo-
Gratis last fall. The Recorder would have proba-

single-handed and with good assistance from the
Deer Lodge side Of the county is sure to do so-
