A SUCCESSOR TO WATT.
The Governor May Act FavorabIy on the
Proposition.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena; Sept S.-If Governor Smith acts
favorably upon a petition received to-day
one more state senator will be voted for
in Montana this fall than was anticipated
when he recently issued his election proc
lamation. The mail brought to the execu-
tive office petition from the county COM
missioners of Meagher county, asking the
governor to call an election i'm that county
TO fill the office of state senator, as the
petitioners do not consider that G. q.
Watt, at present accredited to that coun-
ty. is in reality its representative in the
upper house of the Montana legislature.
At the time he was elected state senator
he resided at York. which is situated in
that portion of Meagher county which
the last legislature cut off and annexed
to Lewis and Clarke county. Besides the
petitioners claim that ever since the crea-
tion of Broadwater county he has re-
sided at Townsend, where he holds the
office of deputy county treasurer and is
now deputy county clerk. The petition
recites:
THAT at the general election held in
the state of Montana for the year 1896 one
c. G. Watt was duly elected senator in
and for said Meagher county; that said
Watt does not now and never did reside
within what are now the limites of Mea-
CHER county; that said Watt was at the
time of his election a resident within the
limits of what is now Lewis and Clarke
county. and ever since the formation of
Broadwater county has been a resident
thereof; that since the formation OF said
Broadwater county said Watt has held
different offices in said county. to-wit:
the Office of deputy county treasurer and
deputy county clerk, which last office he
now holds.
THAT we have submitted to the county
attorney of this county the question
whether said Watt is still a senator in
and for this county. and he is of the opin-
ion that the said Office of senator is va
cant by reason of the division of Meagher
county: that we present the affldavits
hereunto attached and made a part there
of, to corroborate the statements herein
contained as to the non-residence of said
Watt #r
I'VE would, therefore, ask that you call
an election TO fill the vacancy in the office
of senator in and for said Meagher coun-
ty in the manner provided by law. And
your petitioners viii ever pray etc.

$4,000 MORE TROOPS,
CHAIRMAN HULL PREDICTS AN
OTHER CALL SOON.
He Advances Many Reasons why the
President Is Likely to Take
This Step.
(specisl DISPATCH TO The Post)

iSUtcldl lllSpdlcN 10 ne 1DSt.J
Washington, June 5.-Chairman Hull OF
the house committee on military affairs
said today that he believed the president
would soon issue a call for at fvst $4,000
additional troops Mr.. Hull would not say
that he spoke with authority but he al
vaneed so many reasons for the statement
that II Is believed to come from an official
source. Mr.. Hull said that the troops now
in the mobilization camps would soon be
sent to the front and that as the cam;ialsn
in Cuba was now admitted to be a much
harder proposition than at first thought
likely, the president would want to be on
the safe side by having at least $4,000
troops seasoning in the camps ready for an
emergency. It is no; now likely that the
war will come to an early ending and this
fact apparently being accepted by the
president, the third call for volunteers may
be expected as soon as the troops now at
mobilization points are thinned out and
sent to Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philip
pines
