To the Editor Of h Standard.
To-day numerous copies Of the Butte
Miner were distributed gratis
through the mails to many Of
our citizens. I receiving
myself. Many of these papers were
stamped. Compliments of the Repub-
.lican Central Committee Of Deer Lodge
County
This has given the impression to
many persons that this was done by,
and with the consent of. the silver re-
publican central committee of Deer
Lodge county. as they are the only re-
publican party with a county ticket IN
the field. ! wish to state that personally
I know no copy of this democratic
mongrel publication has ever been or
dered by the silver republican central
free distribution.
personally, I feel that democratic
assistance from such a source In local
affairs should be spurned. even IL prof
fered, much less should IL be used in
%corrupting and p~rostituting our ma
tional n state issues.
"As chairman of the silver republi-
can central committee of Deer Lodge
county. l wish to say that body Is in
no wise responsible for these compli-
mentary papers, nor do they approve
of their distribution in this manner
Yours truly, JOHN w. JAMES.
chairman of the Silver Republican
Central Committee of Deer Lodge
County"
william Blow Is a man who has the
courage of his convictions. Mr.. Blow
Is a resident Of Elliston. n he Is a
straight, gold. Mckinley republican. On
Sept. 20 there was a primary at Ellis
ton and IL nominated Frank Wye and
william Blow for justice of the peace
and constable respectively. Mr.. Wye,
who was named as a registry agent by
the county commissioners, Of course
could not be a registry agent and a
candidate at the same time. and he
sent his resignation to County Clerk
Martin, with the information that his
name had been placed in the nomina-
tion without his consent. But MIR.
Blow hasn't resigned, and from the
way IL looks now. II Is probable that
his will be the only name in the "re-
publican" ticket column of the official
ballot. so far as county officers are con-
cerned The certificate of nomination
of Mr.. Blow was accompanied by the
request that the name be placed in the
straight republican column.

busy with the work OF preparing the

four parties represented on the ballot
the democratic, %popuiist. silver repub-
lican n republican. The ballot. or,
more correctly speaking, the nomina-
lions. will he ready I'm a day or two.
when Il will be published. The task of
preparing the ballot In correct order is
a difficult one, and one which requires
nOnGfdaTa hla care and attention IN de-
tails.
The registration in the city Of Ana
conda yesterday, judging from those
who reported. was light. Evidently
voters did not consider the fact that
registration this year runs for but six
days-five days more now. The report
of the registry agent in the First ward,
election district No. l. vas that 81 had
been registered. The registry agent
OF the Second ward made no report.
In the Third ward 122 names had been
enrolled. In the Fourth district. which
includes two precincts. 2l5 names had
been registered. This Is the largest
number OF the day. and IL will probab-
ly be maintained. as the number Of
voters in this precinct is large. Fol
the Fifth and Sixth wards no n re-
ported the number OF names register
ed.
The registry agents are requested &c
convey To this office each evening tht
number of voters registered during
the day and the total number of those
registered.
Registry agents complain that appli
cants for registration do not brini
their naturalization papers. Remember
that your naturalization papers are
necessary to your registration. Thu
agents must see the papers. Don't for
get to bring them.
Tom McTague, who came up from
Deer Lodge last evening. reported tina
the registration there, up 10 the tins
he left, was Deer Lodge north, Al
Deer Lodge south, 90: total, l31.
