Miller's record also speaks for itself.
When Mr.. Miller became assessor. Deer
Lodge county was a county of the fifth
class, but now. through the Just and
equitable distribution OF taxation. the
county is raised to a county of the
fourth class, i'm which TACT every good

munity in an able and efficient man
ner. The other county candidates were
also taken up. Mr.. Duffy having a good
word for each.
Coming to the legislative ticket, the
speaker said he had spent the last two
weeks in company with two Of the can
didates for the legislature-Charlie
Boylan and J. M. Madden. They had
made a tour of the county together.
and had visited the rancher, the miner,
the prospector, the wood hauler, and
everywhere they had met with only the
most cordial welcome. The signs all
pointed to one conclusions; the vote
democratic ticket. On the trip both
Mr.. Boylan and Mr.. Madden had been
untiring in their work for the entire
ticket and their efforts had met with
the highest success.
Mr.. Duffy then took up the name of
r. D.. Mats. He referred to the libel
Gus screed which was yesterday circu-
lated by Billy Edwards. This is a cir
cular which was gotten put in Missoula'
county four years & or more, when
Mr.. Mats was a candidate for joint
representative. The circular attacked
Mr.. Mats because he refused to vote
for w. A. Clark for the senate. Mr..
Duffy was severe in his criticism Of

here to defend himself. yet this man
had taken this opportunity to delive

The speaker admired Mr.. Mats becaus

attacks will only help to
swell Senator Mats majority on Nov. s.
John r. Toole. said Mr.. Duffy. is a

of Deer Lodge county. He is the
friend Of his neighbors. all of whom es-

John Fitzpatrick was the sixth man
to by Mr.. Duffy. Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick, said the speaker. had held Of

manner that is more than satisfactory.
In the community where he lives Mr..
