Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1900-10-31

Its a sixteen to M bet that the Dem
oerat won't publish that decision Of
Judge Claney's which places the same
construction upon the registration law
as did Attorney General Nolan and
Clerk c. NJ, Kelly, No, the editor will
doubtless cling to Office Boy Loeb and
to Fat Jacks decision.
To many who live far from Lewis
town this issue will be the last to be
received before election. TO these we
will say: We conscientiously believe
you can do no better for yourself, your
neighbor and the great majority than
to place a cross in the circle at the head
of the republican ticket. Vote it
straight. 1t will ave the judges a good
deal of trouble in making the count.
Husbandman(White SulphurSprings:
Geo. ii. Purmort was in town Monday
from his gold quartz r&ine on Thomp-
son, sixteen miles west of town. lie
says they have four or five men at work
erecting quarters and making ready
for the new mill which will be shipped
to Dorsey about the FIRST of next month.
In the meantime he hopes to get houses
built for the men, mill house up and
everything in readiness for putting up,
and it is probable the whistle will blow
before the first of January.
Hon. Z. X. Cheadle and Edward
Brassey spoke at Gilt Edge Monday
evening and were assisted by the Lew
istovn Glee Club which went over for
the occasion. Mr.. Cheadle made the
best speech which has been made in the
gold camp this campaign and Republi-
cans and those opposed to him polite
ally, united in the applause and in pro-
claiming his remarks to be the most
appropriate and sensible offered them
this fall. The hall wa filled and later
the jollification extended all over town
the Glee club being compelled to re-
spond to frequent demands and always
TO encores.
Last evening Republican meetings
were held at Cottonwood and at New
Year, both of them well attended and
enthusiastic. The speakers were Hon.
w. A. Hedges, Attorney Belden and
Hon. Z. X. Cheadle. Republicans have
double discounted their opponents in
the number of excellent meetings held
throughout the county this campaign
and from each has come the most fiat
tering reports of the good work accom-
plished. Tonight there will be a meet
ing at Maiden, Thursday night at Deer
field, Friday night at Stanford and Sat.
urday night at Utica, the campaign to
close in a blaze Of glory at Culver's hall
Monday evening. 1t promises to be the
browning success of them all.
Reports of registration indicate an
increase Of TWENTY-FIVE per cent or more.
The work was concluded Monday and
the agents are now busy preparing
their lists and in writing up their books.
Saturday each registry agent will sit in
his home precinct 10 receive challenges
and to make corrections. In Lewis
town East and Vest Agent Harvey
registered over 200 new names and the
total number on the books is 70s. Mr..
Harvey estimates that - of these have
since been cancelled or are known 10
have removed from the precincts. The
Lewistown vote will be close to COO or
more. AT Utica l02 new names have
been added, making a total Of 252. f.
II. Warren. who came down from there
Monday, said that Agent Misner esti-
mated that the vote to be east to he
about 20o. In the two Cottonwood pre-
cincts-upper and Lower-there will
probably he l75 votes. No other re-
ports had been received last night.
The coming of Candidate Judge Mil
burn east a pail of gloom over the
Democrats and our friend Col" Bates,
up the street endeavjred TO deter him
from going TO Gilt Edge and taking
part in the Democratic meeting there
Saturday night, urging upon him the
''propriety" of remaining put of politics
especially since the Democrat had been
so loud in criticising +. X. Cheadle for
addressing the voters in Northern Mon
tana. But all was useless. Judge Mil
burn accompanied Mr.. johns TO Gilt
Edge and spoke from the platform. f.
was a stunning blow TO the colonel. ="
And from Choteau county comes the
report that Judge Tattan has just re-
turned from a our through the eastern
part Of his district" Probably his ju-
dicial business necessitated his playing
a one-night stand in each town-the
particulars are not given. When a
man becomes a candidate for a judicial
position he does not lose his right to
think and speak on national subjects,
especially when he happens TO be as
we'll qualified to discuss the bugaboo
imperialism as is Dir. Cheadle, who
! spent two years in the islands as a vol
unteer soldier.
