November, lNS,
The report concluded with two ex-
hibits, one showing the total cost of
county election contests since 1880 huT
not including the present one to have
been $32 1916, and the other exhibit
enumerating thirty election cases in
the county's history
A supplementary report dealing with
the question of ballot reform was sub
mitted and after very brief discus
sion VAS enthusla stically adopted The
report read as follows;
Your committee on legislation and taxes
respectfully submit the following sup
elemental report, closely allied "a the
report just read;
when the old system ol voting was
abolished i'm PCnnsylvaula IN 1891, and in
stead OF the use of tickets furnished ant
distributed by the candidates or parties
themselves, the Australian or Massachu-
sets ballot system, under which the bal
lots were printed and distributed at pub
lie expense was substituted, certain i'm
portant variations were made from the
provisions OF the Australian law. 10
some extent these were modified by the
subsequent act of 1899. Some of these sup
posed improvements however have
been shown by the experience of the past
seven years to he impractlcablc and less
satisfactory than the real Australian or
Massachusetts law, which has been in
approved use for thirty-iive years on
more, and has now been adopted by some
twenty states of the Union.
SHOULD lie AMENDED.
After somewhat careful consideration
OF the question: your committee are salts
fed that our Pennsylvania ballot law
should be amended I'm the direction of a
closer conformity to the Australian or
Massachusetts system IN the following
particulars:
I'D The names of candidates instead of
being grouped under the party designa-
tions should he grouped under the offices
to be filled.

Osborne Deignan, one of the heroes
of the Merrimac, arrived at his home
in Stuart, Iowa, last week and was
greeted by 5000 people. The city
council presented him with a sword
and speeches were made by Gov.
Shaw and Others. The young hero
stood this part of the program with
out %fiinching, but when a bevy OF
pretty girls insisted upon kissing him
he raised a flag of truce and made a
break forthe tall timber, saying there
were a great many handsomer men
than he in the crowd. 1t is said
Deignan ran away from home some
years ago and few, il any, of the vii
layers knew Of his whereabouts. He
returns to receive n welcome that the
president of the United States might
envy, and no one will begrudge the
little town the pride it manifests In

II O add Hogan and Campben'

II you add Hogan and Campbell's
vote together you will see that there
is no great loss i'm the silver vote
since 1896. taking the short time for
registration and other unfavorable
features of this years contest into
ACCOMPLISHMENT Falls Tribune.
The above may fool some people.
The Tribune evidently thinks that il
Hogan had not been in the race his
vote would have gone to Campbell.
There are thousands of Republicans
in this state who would not have
voted for Campbell under any con
sideration, and Hogan's candidacy
simply offered a means of escape to
them.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-11-16

will be sufficient. The Republican
majority over all i'm the senate was
placed at 10; it will probably reach
IL. The Republicans have gained a
senator i'm the following states: New
York. New Jersey, Wisconsin,, Ne
braska, North Dakota, Indiana, West
Virginia and California. Maryland
and Oregon have elected Republican
senator's, and Kyle of South Dakota
will act with the party in the future.
Az a usual thing the first election
after a national contest gives but lit
tie comfort to the administration.
II there ever was an exception the
present is one. Republican apathy is
the greatest menace to the party.
Over 150, 900 voters of that faith did
not exercise the franchise in New
York state alone. while the vote of
the opposition did not show any
thing like such a loss.
The result must be taken an an IN
dorsement of President Mckinley and
the Republican party as regards the
question OF expansion. as well as the
financial and industrial policies of the
party.
The losses to the Democracy in such
states as Nebraska, Kansas, South
Dakota, Wyoming and California
means the death of the silver issue.
1t was bad enough for national lead
ers to stand and witness such states
as New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Indiana fall out of the
Democratic line, but when the west.
ern states weaken and go Republi.
can, the deathknell of silver will bt
sounded.
Everything bids fair for a great Re
publican victory two years hence
with William Mckinley as leader o
the Republican hosts. The voters Of
Montana who have been lured and
tricked by the opposition will be
found with the great majority.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-11-16
The Election i'm This State.

BY an eXtravagant use of money
furnished by the milliOnaires and a
large list of speakers on the stump
pleading hypocritically for silver, the
Democrats managed to carry the
state by a greatly reduced majority.
1t was the hope OF Republicans that
Hartman would remain in h race,
as it was believed he would draw
enough votes from Campbell TO in
sure the election of Marshall. Mr..
Hartman's withdrawal and the sub
stitution of Hogan On the Silver Re-
publican ticket lett but little chance
for Mr.. Marshall to win. He made a
good race, however, considering the
forces he had to contend against,
and is destined to some day represent
Montana in congress-.
AS regards the legislature, there
was only a fighting nance for it's
control by the straight and Silver
Republican forces, but the mining
counties did not do as well for Sen
atOr Mantle as the stock counties.
The Democrats will have absolute
control of both houses.
So far as national legislation is con-
cerned it will prove a barren victory
for the Democrats and the people of
this state. The Republicans will have
a safe majority in both houses of
March, which will prevent any tink-
ering with the tariff or any silver
legislation on the lines of the Chicago
platform.
The Republicans have no reason to
be discouraged over the result in this
state. The Democratic majority on
Hartman two years ago was about
$4,000. Campbell will do well il he
secure 5000 when the votes are all
counted. In 1896 the Republicans
