Frank Fl. Drinllenbcrg, candidate
for state senator, has been a resident
of Missoula and Ravalli counties for
many years, and by his sayaclty and
enterprise has accumulated a colnpc-
tcncy. lie knows every foot OF the
county and every need Of legislation
fer the good OF the whole. lie is not
a natural politician like the gentle
man who opposes him, and has never
been in politics for ut1ice--and what
there was in it. Mr.. Drinkcnbcrg,s
candidacy should especially appeal to
the republicans Of the county from
the fact that while he was the only
ayOWcd candidate before the regular
conventions, and certain OF nomlna-
tion, when it was at first thought
that the party could be reunited on
the basis OF allowing the silver repub-
lican convention to name the legisla-
tive ticket-a desirable state OF af
fairs that would have matcrializcd
had it not been for the lnaclllna-
tions Of some parties calling them
selves at that time silver republicans
and now open dcmocrats-Mr. Drink
enhcrg, in a manly way, voluntarily
withdrew his candidacy for what he
considered the good of the country.
With the failure Of the proposed
union Mr.. Drinkenbcrg's nomination
followed as d matter Of course, but
bis act Of selfabnc9aton should none
the less commend him to the suffrage
of every rinllt-nlndcd man. 1t has
certainly strengthened him with his
party. "....
