DON'T BE 4 CHUMp.

Two years sgo every democratic
paper and every democratic orator,
and a whole lot of democrats who
would never be mistaken for orators.
told the people Of this state that the
election of Mckinley would be the
greatest calamity that could happen
to Montana; that our mines would
all smut down: that money would be
scarce and hard to get; that there
would be no work for the labOrino'
man, and no market for the products
Of the farm. Well, Mckinley was
elected, and there are today more
mines working and more men being
employed iu them than ever before
in the history Of the state-witness
the Increase Of over 1000 in Silver
bow county's registrations; money is
more plentiful and easier to get;
there are no men idle who are willing
to work, and wages have gone up
because the employment of SO many
men in the east through the revival
in business enterprises has turned
back the flow Of the unemployed to
the west and left fewer men out here
looking for jobs: there is a better
market for produce, while new enter
prises such as the Manhattan paper
mill in Gallatin county are being
started. All this in the face of dem.
ocracy's prophcsy Of evil. This year
they are telling the same old story
Of what dire results will happen if
every democratic candidate in the
state, from congressman down to
constable, is not elected. DO you
believe them? If, in the light of
the nOnfultillment of their other
calamity propheses, you still believe
ana take stock in democratic fore
casts, you are bigger chump this
year than you were two wears ago.
And you were IL pretty big chump
then.

a MATTER OF FIGURES.

The debt Of Rayalli county on the
1st Of December, 1896, as the repub
licans left it, was $74, ,3l7.25, anC
they were cutting it down at tho
rate Of s., G9O.53 a year. \ republi
can legislature, in 1895, had reduced
salaries for the next term $2,420 pei
year ia this county, and whcn.a dem.
ocratic county administration came
in, January, 1897, this reduction
went into effect, 50 that, if the re-
publicans had staid in power, the
reduction would have been S7,11O.53
a year and the total debt Of Ravali
county would have been wiped out in
ten and a half years. 1t would have
been wiped out even sooner than
that, for at I per cent. interest there
would be saving Of $49773 year
in that item, and the debt would be
wiped out in less than ten years.
Now, the democrats have been run
n!ng the county affairs for nearly two
years, and the only record we have Of
| how they have run them is contained
in the annual statement OF 1897. Tn
that year they had, with reduction
in fixed expenses Of $2,420, increased
the Indebtedness So ,S20.96. At this
rate of increase, in the ten years in
which, under republican administra-
tion, the debt would be entirely paid
and wiped out, under democratic ad-
ministration the total ndebtcdness
would mount up to $l12. 526.S5, in
common addition alone, but, when to
this would be added the big increase
in interest every year, the debt in
that time would be at least 1925, 900.
And the taxpayers would be paying
SIS, $50 every year for interest, with
the debt continually climbing
This is amatter Of simple figuring,
and it is something which every tax
payer in the county should consider
when he goes to the polls on Tuesday
to cast his vote for the republican or
the democratic candidates. Do the
people Of Ravalli county want their
county debt wiped out and eventual
ly a surplus in the treasury for i'm
provcmcnts and also reduction in
their taxes, or do they want to see
the debt constantly climbing up I'M
til the burden Of taxation is too great
to be borne. Let them answer this
qucstionat the polls.

Two years ago most of oar demo-
cratic farmers voted to retire an
economical set Of republican county
officers and put democratic officers in
their place, just to be able to say
that democracy had won a victory.
Well, they succeeded in their aim
and they have saddled difference
IN financial cost on themselves and
the other taxpayers OF over $4,000
IN the two years. 1t was Il pretty
still price to pay for one victorious
'tholler," and we do not think they
will feel like repeating it this year.
Vote for the republican county can
didates and get back to economical
principles again. 1t will be the best
paying days work you ever did.

TO MONTANA VOTERS.
Chairman Wool1nan Secs a Republican,
Victory Along the Whole Line
Helena; Montana, Nov. 1. is!


Helena; Montana, Nov. l, 1898
10 the Republicans Of Montana:
In the last week Of the campaign
on the eve OF one Of the most i'm
portant and far reaching political
elections Montana has had we have
the pleasure Of announcing to YOU
that, despite the almost superhuman
efforts OF the enemy, our adyices from
all portions of the state bring the
most encouraging news Of the po1iti-
cal situation. The prosperity and
confidence that have resulted from
the election OF President Mckinley
and the establishment Of republic
can policies, and the wise and careful
administration after the disastrous
experience Of democratic misrue,
have convinced all fair and thought
ful men who look to the material in.
tercsts Of themselves and their fell
lows, that it would be suicidal folly
to overthrow them and invoke again
another era Of disaster and distress.
The democratic party, that never did
ANYTHING for Montana or her interests
when it had an opportunity, and by
parity OF reasoning never would if it
had an opportunity again, is franti-
ca!]y endeavoring to elect directly d
congressman, and Indirectly two
United States senators, who would
necessarily be hostile to the national
administration and policies that have
brought us prosperity, and their pres
ence in congress would be useless to
the state, il not a positive injury.
Let US send republicans.
Some Of our people were tempo
rarily led astray two years ago by the
hollow and delusve sophistrics Of the
enemy, but now see their error, and
the grand old republican column is
again swinging into line with every
prospect OF a magnificent victory.
Our candidates are clean, capable
and honest men, representing prin-
ciples that have made the United
States honored, prosperous and peer
less among the nations Of the earth.
Work for the election Of all.
Registration is closed. The duty
remains to labor zealously with those
who are yet erring, and to see that
every republican vote is polled On
election day. Congratulating you on
the noble cause in which we are all
engaged, and assured we will have
glad hearts when the results Of this
campaign are made known, | am,
very respectfully,
J. P. WooLMAN,
Chairman Republican State Central
Committee.

Have you noticed that every story
calculated to prejudice voters has
been manufactured and aimed at the
republican candidates? John b Cat.
In las been the principal target of
democratic and populist lies, and for
what reason it is easy to sec. But
who has heard of any malicious and
unfounded attack being made on op-
position candidates by republicans?
That party and it's candidates are
making Il clean campaign on the
merits Of the party and its represent
ltatlycS in this election.

The gambling fraternity are 16 tc
in favor Of County Attorney Myers
going to the state senate to make the
laws of the state. Why? The an
sWer is plain if you were in Hamilton
fair week, and before, when, with
the county attorney walking in and
out of the places, in at least foul
saloons faro, craps, poker and other
gambling games were running full
blast, despite the fact that there is a
law on the statute books against
gambling. The desire for office makes
some men very blind to their plain
duty sometimes.

Tom Marshall is a Western Mon
tana man, and is as much a Ravalli
county man as a Missoulan. Living
where he does, he will naturally, if
in congress, work for cavalry garri-
son at Fort Missoula of 4Oy or 500
men and horses. This will help out
the farmers of the Bitter Root valley
by increasing their market for grain,
hay and breadstutfs. a vote for Tom
Marshall is vote for your home mar
ket and your pocket book.

Republican county officials reduced
the Indebtedness of Rayalli county
81 $50. 50 in 1896. Democratic coun-
ty officials, with s., 1920 less to pay in
fixed salaries, increased the indebted.
ness Of the county $3,S20.96 in 1897.
Would 1T not be wise for the tax
payers to vote republican officials
into control again?

DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY.

How desperate indeed must be the
outlook for democratic success in this
state when even tho Anaconda Stan.
dard, q pa per easily conceded to b,
the best news gatherer in Montana
has to resort to deception and unfair
statements, in order to temporarily
uphold the failing courage Of dcmo
Gratis.
Under all the circumstances, how
ever, it is hardly to be wondered at,
as no person or party likes to be the
subject Of ridiculc, and, If democratic
papers told the whole truth, the
showing of their party would not only
be ridiculous but ptiful rM
If we take into consideration the
record OF the democratic party on the
''paramount issue" as printed on our
first page, and read in connection
Herewith the declaration in their
state platform, it will at once be seen
that no true friend Of silver can cast
a vote for the nominees Of the demo-
cratic party Of this state.
The record Of the democratic party
taken in connection with the record
Of their candidate for congress shows
how utterly the voters Of Montana
were deceived two years ago and how
deep is the scheme to get their votes
by false pretcnses this time.
Let us look for one moment at
their declaration injthcir state plat
form on the ''paramount issue"
"Wc declare that the free coinage
Of silver at the ratio of 1G TO l is the
paramount issue OF American politics
today" That is their declaration
and on that have they placed their
standard bearer and on that have
they gone before the voters Of Mon
tana claiming to he the only friends
Of silver and therefore entitled to the
support Of all believers in free silver
irrespective Of party. They do this.
knowing such a declaration leaves
them free two years from now to de-
clare for the gold standard and hop
ing 4 cursory reading such as the
average voter usually gives to cam
paign platforms will not disclose their
duplicity.
We defy any man to tell on which
side Of the ''paramount issue" the
democratic party Of Montana is today
from their platform utterance.
Out upon such hypocrisy! The
paramount issue with democracy is
how to get office. They believe the
end justiics the means and u few
broken promises more or less dn not
count.
They will tind however, that while
a great majority Of the people Of
Montana believe in the free coinage
Of silver, and are willing to work in
season and out Of season for that
bcncfcent result, they desire better
bond than an ambiguous declaration
in a party platform and Il record of
broken promises such us is given else
where in this issue. They will find
that this year the people have made
a paramount issue Of their own, and
that is to give office to the candidates
of that party under which prosperity
has come to them and which bv it's
bencIicent policy Of protection guar
antccS Il continuance of the same.
The electors OF Montana will not
be again deceived by the spcciuus
promises OF Il discredtcd democracy,
but will this year give their allie
glance to the republican party and
Montana will again take her proud
place with the cohorts OF protection,
prosperity and progress.
