That Will Be the Slogan of the Inde-
pendent Democrats.
WORK OF SATURDAYS CONVENTION
Most Enthusiastic Political Gathering In the History Of
the County.-Splendd Legislative Ticket.
The Addresses In Full

For the honest, unbribable, undollar-
marked democracy of Flathead county,
last Saturday was a great day. 1t will
be day long remembered, not only by
those who saw in the organization Of the
Independent Democracy hope for better
things in Montana politics, but also for
those who, tempted by the briber's money
have gone over to the forces who are
seeking to make but, vulgar merchan-
disc" of the highest honors in the gift of
the people. There was qualification in
the breasts Of every participant in Satur-
days convention that gold can never
buy. 1t was the consciousness of stand
ing for truth, honesty and honor. Such
cheers were never before heard in the
Kalispell courthouse as greeted Cover
nor Smith when he had concluded his
address to the convention. In fact of all
the conventions held in Kalispell 50 far
this year, that of the Independent dem
ocratic party was by far the most en-
thusiastic.
The Bee gives up most Of it's space in
this issue that full account of the con-
vention may be given to the readers OF
this newspaper. Read the address and
the platform-theya are full Of interest tc
every voter.
