Dunsire has some doubts about Mr..
Mornings election.
Then came the surprise of the con-
vention. Mr. Frank L. Gray, Mr.. Sid
ney M. Logan and Mr.. Michael Sullivan
were nominated for county attorney. By

Gray should have had the nomination.
He has been consistent republican,
while Mr.. Logan is only a recent acquisi-
ton from the ranks of the populists.

Gray was made to do duty as the fatted
calf in honor of the prodigars return.

by the cordially of his reception and he
too, resorted to 1.-The flag" for want of
something better to say. 1t was pa

an official representative of the republi-
can party announces: For this my son
was dead and is alive again; was lost
and is found"

We present to the voters of Flathead
county for county officers, men who, by

that the voters are from past experience
unwilling to place the management of
the affairs of our county in the power of
that party which has degraded politics
in Montana.
