Seems to Be the Choice of Repre-

PROBABLY NO CONTEST

the Nomination by Acclamation at
the Convention-The Repub-
Ecan Candidates,

Great Falls, March 1G.-Yesterday
evening there was an Informal gather
ing of representative democrats, at
which about 80 We're present. The
meeting was to discuss the situation in
the city politics and to map out in an
informal manner the course to be pur-
sued. 1t was discovered that those
present nearly unanimously favored
the nomination Of James T. Stanford
for mayor. The meeting was entirely
informal and without any binding eff
feet upon the primaries, but it now
looks very much as if Mr.. Stanford
would receive the nomination by ac-
ciamation in the democratic convention.
There are other candidates for the
office, but it is hardly possible that
they will persist in their candidacy in
the face of the proceedings Of yesterday
evening.

maries last night, in only one of which,

that orders are issued to be ohered. In
one case the alcalde and council resigned

would have been contumacious and in
defiance of authority and other action
would have followed instead of the resig-

strongly impressed upon municipal coun-

attention to duty. Without this the peo-

petty offenders against the law are be-

for Justice Foley's court. The effect
Of their regard for his methods cannot
but be beneficial to the entire commun-
ity. Judge Foley's usefulness is not
confined to the narrow limits of his
little Office on Cashier street. He has
demonstrated to the people that he is
equal to any emergency that may
arise; that when the peace and safety
of the public is imperied he is ready
and willing to adopt heroic remedies,
even at the risk of his own life. Last
young fellow named Alex Gamblers, who
had been imbibing pretty freely of
Belts "warm-up" whiskey, began
amusing himself and terrorizing pedes-
TRANS by driving a horse and buggy
madly up and down Cashier street
Twice he passed Judge Foley's office,
yelling like a Pute Indian. The judge,
who was just about to depart for home,
quietly laid off his overcoat and stepped
outside, prepared to take a hand in the
funny game himself. He had scarcely
reached the edge of the sidewalk when
back came the rig and its drunken driv-
err. Without a moments hesitation, the
judge sprang at the horses head and
swung onto the bride reins. Just at
that instant the buggy-reach parted,
the driver was spilled out and things
were generally mixed. The horse drag
ged the front wheels of the buggy
and the judge some distance down the
street Then, evidently realizing a mas
ter hand was holding onto the bride, It
came to a halt. The Judge turned it
about and drove back to the scene Of
the wreck in time to place the some
what befuddled and badly shaken-up
driver under arrest. With a nervous
horse, a buggy in four pieces and a
prisoner on his hands, the judge had
almost reached the limit of his official
capabilities, when Constable Rush, who
had been following up the wild driver,
arrived upon the scene and gave his as
Sistance. The horse was cared for and
the prisoner landed in jail where he
remained until the following morning,
when he was fined $40 and costs and
given a warning for future behavior.

Some Butte Merchants Have
Adopted the Scheme,

The People Warned of It's Workings by
p the Merchants OF Connecticut
City-Called System Of
Systematic Robbery.

- A number Of the smaller merchants
of Butte have been drawn into the lat
est advertising scheme, known as the
= trading stamp SYSTEM" which has
: been worked out in the East where
business men seem to have become sick
of it.
The lottery which compels the mer-
chant to pay tax of per cent for
the right to do business is what the
trading stamp system is called in a
: circular recently issued by the mer-
s~chants of Connecticut city, warming
the people of it's workings. and show
: ing up the true inwardness of the
scheme.
The circular contains four interest
Ing pictures which are self-explanatory.
: The first is that of an agent of the
: trading stamp company with his finger
e-under the nose Of a shrinking mer-
ss~rchant. informing him that eff you don't
s~huy my stamps your neighbor will and
you will lose your trade" The next is
:. that Of an irate female customer de-
handing her stamps from the mer-
chant. In her hand she holds the stamp
book in which she expects to paste the
999 stamps that will entitle her to draw
prize from the store of the stamp
company, and she Is quoted as saying:
: IF you don't give me the stamps I
will leave the goods and report you to
the stamp people. That is what the
stamp book tells me to do
The merchant, however, has discov-
cred that he is being systematically
robbed and refuses to give out amy
more stamps. True to her word, the
customer reports him. and In the next
picture the agent of the company is
reading down the riot act to the mer-
chant and flashing his face the contract
which he has signed. and threatens to
bring suit against him for violating it,
The poor merchant sees that he has
been caught in trap and promises to
refuse no more stamps when they are
called for. AS a result of this per
cent. tax which he is compelled to pay
he must raise the price of his wares
and drive away his customers by the
very plan which he adopted to bring
them to him. 49,.
The fourth and last picture shows the
corpulent manager of the stamp COM
pany sitting in his easy chair, sur
rounded by bags of gold, and formu-
lating plans to tempt other merchants
into the net which he has set for them.

RED HOT.

Hot, hotter. hottest. We un-
derStand that Paris is red hot.
Paris is not the center of the
universe nor is she the center
of Monroe county. Paris has
been sorely afflicted and in their
aftlictiol the DEMOCRAT and
Monroe City has sympathized
with her in her affliction, but if
her own papers will admit that
they have other cases why
should she kick because this
city cuts clear from her. The
citizens of the capital have for.
gotten their own position.
Would their papers under the
same circumstances have been
as gentle and neighborly? AS
a health and financial PROPOSE.
tion Monroe City has been slow
to act. Paris knows what her
trouble has cost her and that
being the case they (the citi.
zens) ought not to kick, but
thank their stars they have
been dealt with as leniently as
they have. Gentlemen, put
your tempers and your tongues
in your pockets unless you want
to play against a Royal Flush.

WAS ASKED,

Some time since one of the
New London papers twitted the
Monroe City DEMOCRAT because
THAT Bridge" had not been
built across Salt River and was
asked why? The reason the
the bridge was not built was
because the people of London
and vicinity had been deceived
and made to believe it was for
the interests of Monroe CITY.
In fact. New London and Rails
County would reap the first. and
last benefit. The DEMocRAr'
has worked for tie bridge for
three years and like water drop-
ping on a stone is glad to see
that a New London paper has
fiually learned that it would be
ia good thing and wants it.
Here is our heart. and hand.
We will aid you all we can. !: :.
