ASK LEGISLATURE FOR RECOUNT.
Defeated Democratic Candidates of Carbon
County Charge Fraud.

Proceedings were instituted in the
district court in Red Lodge Wednes-
day contesting the election of Senator
W. T. Meyer and Representative G. H.
Gregory, both republicans. Arrayed
against Messrs. Meyer and Gregory are
Il. A. Emons, populist, and T. F. Pol
lard, democrat, their defeated oppo-
nents in the recent elections.
District Clerk Mushback has ap-
pointed a commission composed of
two justices of the peace to take depo-
sitons and hear evidence.
The coming legislature will be pre-
scented with this evidence and will be
asked for a recount of the votes cast
for the legislative ticket in East and
West Red Lodge, Roberts, Carbonate
and Gebo.
It is alleged by the defeated candi-
dates that the democratic party was
not given representation among the
judges of election; that Chairman
Caldwell of the county central com
mittee while keeping count of returns
was forcibly elected from the polling
place by the sheriff at the request of
n of the republican judges; that bal
lots were illegally counted for Meyer
and Gregory. Coercion and intimida-
ton by two coal companies at Carbon
ado and Gebo is also charged.

REVISING H FAITH.
Presbyterian Committee Making Progress
in That Direction.

Washington, Dec. 6-The committee
of is ministers and laymen Of the
Presbyterian church now in session
here for the purpose of agreeing on
some recommendation to be made tt
the next general assembly on a revis-
ion of the confession of faith, made
material progress today.
Action was taken by a sub-commit-l
tee of five which provides for a vote
to be taken by the full body of the five
propositions contemplating some
change or revision in the confessional.
One Of those, it is expected, will be
adopted, thus bringing the question
before the general assembly in May.
Five members of the committee sub.
mitted papers for the consideration Of
the committee, which will form q
basis for action on the subject of re-
vision. These papers in general pro-
pose, either an actual revision of the
confession or adoption Of the explana-
tory statement of doctrinal differences
in the confession, or formulation of q
brief statement Of the doctrines of the
Presbyterian system.
After mature consideration by the
full committee, the papers were re-
ferred to a subcommittee Of five, con-
sisting of Messrs. Vandyke, Johnson,
McKibbin, Parsons and HUMPHREY,
which after a prolonged meeting to-
day, decided that the full committee
should vote tomorrow on the provis-
ions in the order in which they were
submitted.

W NEW COUNTIES.
Legislature Will Be Asked to Divide
Custer and Deer Lodge.

Another attempt will be made dur
ing the approaching session Of the leg
islature to divide Deer Lodge and
Custer county. Both counties, it is
claimed by those who favor the
change, are too large in area to be
covered by one set Of judicial officers,
and the long distances between county
seats and remote sections make the
administration IF the affairs of county
government exceedingly expensive.
When the proposition was first sub
mitted to the legislature the idea was
to call the d~isjoined section of Deer
Lodge county, Powell county, but
since the death Of Mr.. DAILY, the senti-
ment favors naming the county after
the man who made it the scene of
many activities and was foremost in
promoting its welfare.
The division of Custer county is de-
manded by the people of that locality
and if made will probably be called
Rosebud county.
If the proposition finds favor at the
hands of the legislature, the assembly
will leave the location of the county
seat to a popular vote of the people
Of the county.
1t is quite certain that Forsyth will
be selected as the county seat of Rose
bud county, and Deer Lodge the coun-
ty seat Of Deer Lodge county.
Attorney General Nolan is Of the
opinion that the next legislature will
favor the increase. Expressing his
views to the Helena Herald he said
"The principal demand for the
creation of two new counties is the
accommodation of the people that live
within the limits Of the counties in
question. As a matter of revenue and
pecuniary interest the change should
be made. Where the county seat is a
great distance from the boundary Of
the county the administration of the
affairs of the people proves quite ex-
pensive. Sheriffs are obliged to travel
long distances, and jurors are paid
large sums for mileage.
"The proposition heretofore has
been to name the detached section of
Deer Lodge county POWELL county,
but undoubtedly the section adjoining
Anaconda and vicinity will be known
as DAILY county"
