Prospects Are Bright for silver In the
County.
Missoula. Oct. 2e.-The friends AMI
supporters of the silver cause.-the onss
who have been called by Tom Carter
dirty auacks" and lying d~emagogues'
are r~allying around the banner of the
white metal in Missoula county. Move
and more hey are realizing that in the
Loo al contest especially. here Is no tick
Ct except the democratic that repre-
sents the right side of the silver dues-
tlon. In Missoula county no man who
is in favor of the reconciliation OF the
White metal can conscientiously vote
for any ticket but the democratic.
The legislative ticket on the republican
and silver" repucan lists, Is one
thai is made up OF goldbugs. These
men have been open I'm their declara-
ton OF allegiance to the single gold
standard and to Tom Carter. They are
not deceitful I'm this respect, but are
making an honorable campaign. The
one exception to this Is +. j. Powers,
whose name II on he ticket to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation OF
Colonel MCGOWAN. Mr.. Powers has been
a silver man and his name has been
placed on the ticket in the attempt to
deceive the voters of the county into
believing that there Is some silver SEN
! timent in the makeup of the ticket.
But. as a matter of fact, Mr.. Powers
has removed from Montana to Zen
lucky and has written that he intends
TO remain there.
To vote for this republican-silver-re-
publican ticket Is to vote for a gold
man to succeed Lee Mantle ne United
States senator. for these members of
the legislature elected this fall viii
choose a federal senator mex January.
Missoula county certainly does not
wish TO send to the legislature men who
will vote for a gold man. The sure way
to prevent this is TO vote the democrat
ic ticket.
The republicans, especially the ad-
ministration men. are centering their
efforts in theis county upon the vote for
Tom Marshall and Tyler Worden. their
candidate for state senator. This Is. OF
course, Tom Carter's campaign. He
Toes not seem to care for any other part
OF the ticket. The state senator elected
in Missoula county this fall will, I'm two
years. cast a vote for Tom Carriers sue
cessor. IL is for this reason that suca
strenuous efforts are being made Tor
the election OF worden. Carter knows
that II will mean one more vote In hun
In two years.
The republicans have organized in
his county for the purpose Of swelling
the Marshall vote and Of electing Tyler
Warden. They have raised a substan-
t!al fund and are using IL, but they re-
fuse TO dig up for any other purpose
than the two mentioned above. They
are anxious for these only and will con-
tribute for no other purpose. Some OF
the candidates on the republican ticket
are sore about this and are ~denouncinl
the Tom-Tom boosters as not fair.
Reports from all over the county in.
dicate hat the people Of this section
are awakening TO n realization OF thu
situation. This county Is loyal to tn
silver cause and the voters will not per
NIT Missoula to be misrepresentcd II
this manner. A vote for the demo rat
&c ticket Is a vote for silver and fOr IN
best interests OF Montana. A vote T.
any other ticket is a vote for interest
that are directly opposed to tae ad
vancement OF this county and thi
state. IL Is easy for Missoula count q
decide between these two sides Of tn
question. and the present indicst,ca
are thai the choice will be the RICH
one.
