An impression seems to prevail
that voters do not have TO register
this fall, but can vote on their regis
tratiOn of two years ago. This Is
wholly all error. Everyone must
register within the time allowed or
they cannot vote. The registration
books will be open only six days
from October 24th to 30th, inclusive.
The sterling Republicanism and
devotion to party of Commissioner
Slayton was exemplified last week,
when that gentleman, after serving
in Lewisrown for Il week, drove
home and finding his credentials AS
delegate from Lavina had been sent
to Lewistown, turned back at nee
and reached here just in time for the
caucus. The drive from Lewistown
To Lavina is about 40 miles, by the
route through the mountains. 1t

organization effective.
Gus. Schiller. one of the six mem-
beers Of Troop NJ, Grigsby's cavalry.
which went from Lewistown, return
ed home Monday. He says Almon
fever, when he left Chattanooga, and
that Fred Hortop lis going to remain
with his brother, who is receiving
the best of treatment in the Letter
hospital. Trooper Schiller feels the
disappointment, as Others of b
regiment. i'm not having had an OPP
%portunity to GO into action, and says
camp life was m~onotonous and the
food furnished was not what the
boys had reason to- expect. The
men, everyone. and there is little
doubt but they would have made
equally at fine a reputation as
Roosevelt's rough riders had they
been given the opportunity.
From all sections come reports of
former Democrats, and those who
years ago affiliated with the
Bryan element, having seen the error
of their ways and expressed their
intention Of joining the grand old
party of protection, sound money
and prosperity. Two such gentle
men were elected as delegates to h
Republican convention Saturday
last, II. y. Wareham, who ran for
commissioner two years ago on the
Democratic ticket, and VIM. Ander-
son of Gilt Edge. who was a Bryan
worker i'm 1896. Several Others might
be mentioned but without permits
sion, we will not take the liberty of
doing SO. Probably the greatest
surprise will he tn learn that John
keenan,. formerly of Lewistown, and
at all times a bitter partisan of the
Democratic stripe, has Joined the
Republican party. Mr.. keenan,
writes from Hamilton, Ravalli
county, where he is now located: Il
an a full fiedged Republican this
year. have found out there are no
good times under q Democratic ad-
ministration." Sometimes expert
ence will convince when nothing else
will and for this reason possibly it
were well for the country that
Grover Cleveland was elected in 1892.
