FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
The Election OF the Next United States
Senator From Montana One OF the
Prizes Of the Campsign-Re-
publicans Stand for Gold.

MISSOURI, NOV. IL ntIt .iehiaihS "a
one more week for the people Of Mis-
soula county to weigh the principles OF
the two great ~contending parties and
consider the personnel of the candidates
on the two tickets. on the one hand
we have the republican party contend
ing for the single gold standard: on
the other. the great democratic party
contending for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio OF is to i.
A United states senator is TO be elect
ed by the legislature this coming win
ter, and 1t may depend upon the vote
OF the representatives from Missoula
county to say whether that United
States senator shall be a monometallist
or a gold standard man. Oh a bimetal-
list or a free coinage man.
Gen. Joseph +. Marion. the democrat
ic nominee. In. as is well known. I'm Ia
vor OF the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. and stands on the Chicago
platform. 1t is known. too. that Cen
eral Marion will not vote for a man
for the United States nat who is not
known TO be absolutely In favor Of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Tyler Worden. the republican nomi-
nee, In in favor of the single gold stand
ard. and. as il well known. will not
vote for I'M one but a gold
man.
The same is true of the legislative
candidates. Messrs. Mclaughlin. Ste
phens, Stiff and Stone are all
dyed-in-the-wool silver men and they
will only vote for a free silver man for
the United States senate. While on the
other hand. Messrs. Powers. Dyson.
Beckwith n Rutherford are g%oldbugs
and believe in the single gold standard.
At least Messrs. Dyson. Beckwith
and Rutherford are. Mr.. Powers is a
free silver man. but as he Is a resident
of the state of Kentucky and has been
for some time. his name Is not to be
taken into consideration.
Speaking OF Mr.. Powers. 1t Is a safe
venture to say that his name was put
on the goldbug ticket without his con-
sent, and IL he knows OF II at all, IL Is
against his will and wish.
So there you are. Take your choice.
III you believe In the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver. vote the straight
democratic ticket. III you believe In the
single gold standard. vote the republic
can ticket.
The democrats have named as their
candidate for sheriff -. T. Curran. Mr..
Curran has served two terms as under
sheriff of Missoula county N Is thor
oughly acquainted with the duties OF
the sheriff's office n can save the
| people of Missoula county money by his
conduct OF the office, as he Will give |,
his personal attention and do one man,
work himself.
On the other hand. Mr.. Darbee. his
republican opponent, Is a merchant In
the city OF Missoula, with large inter
ests at stake that require his personal
attention, so he will have to hire SONS
n to do his work for him in the sher'
if's Office. and as the sheriff is allowed
by law as many deputies as he sees
Mt e employ. II Is safe to say that Mr.
Darbee will employ enough to do the
work and let him draw the salary anc
attend to his mercantile duties.
w. r. Hamilton. the republican nom
inee for assessor. has served severa
terms as a county officer and. like oh
yer Twist. still cries for more. AS Josl
Billings says. they seldom die: the,
never resign. Let US put n new maj
into the Office. one who will assess ev
erybody alike and upon the same val
uation. from the same standard; on
who will not play favorites. but atten'
strictly to his duties and not lower tn
assessment on n and raise II on an
other. such a man is Clarence II. Pres
colt. the democratic nominee for as
SCISSOR. Vote for him..
There Is but one silver ticket In tn
field. The populists have only a fev
candidates, and they will not poll 10
votes In h county. There are but tw'
tickets to considerable gold ticket an,
the silver at i6 To I. Take your choic
and vote to best suhserve your own I'm
terests and the interests of YOU stat
and you people. and you will vote tn
democratic ticket and vote IL straight.
