Never before in Silver Bows history
was there a convention in which more
interest was taken by citizens generally.
From the time first for the
convention to meet the Auditorium was
packed with spectators, who watched
the proceedings with great interest. 1T
was recognized that the convention
would nominate the only silver ticket
that would be placed in the field, and
naturally there was great interest TO
see that good men were placed in nomi-
nation. The spectators generally were
satisfied and pleased with the result.

among the candidates, all quit the con
vention satisfied hat they had had a
fair show and ready to go to work for
the ticket, the losers as well as the
winners.
The delegates were in good humor
when they met in the morning. 1t had
been generally circulated that the Mi
ner had bolted the ticket and .vaneraI
satisfaction was expressed that the Mi
ner had decided to fight in the open in
stead of in the bush, which has hereto
fore been its constant game. No one
had expected the Miners support-in
fact no democratic candidate for office
in Silver Bow county was ever able to
count on the Miners support or the
support of the Clark faction. and every
body felt relieved that the paper had
taken the position Of open revolt rather
than its customary position Of pretend
ed uppor of the ticket with real hy-
pocrisy and treachery.
There was a boom in candidates yes
morning as soon as il was known
the Miner was fighting the ticket.
number of candidates increased be-
cause the candidates realized that their
chances of election had been greatly in
creased.
For nearly all nominations there were
very close n well-fought contests.
Those who had been talking about a
slate had to admit that they were off
wrong. for there was never a conven-
ton in Silver Bow county in which
was greater rivalry for office. In
most cases several ballots were required
order to select a candidate. The con-
however. were all g~ood-natured
inc the delegs ties and democrats gener-
lilly a the satisfaction of knowing
hat only democrats were nominated.
rhe Clark republican alliance was left
'ut in the cold completely and none but
'eal democrats were placed on guard.

Itself to the voters of Silver Bow coun-
y, for no better one was ever present.
