nominee of this convention for the office
OF member OF the legislative assembly
to vote for none others than republicans
for United States senator's.
Believing that the republican party
has been in the past and is now the
friend of the laboring man, we are in
favor the enactment by our legislature
of an eight hour law.
Finally, we congratulate the repub-
licans of Yellowstone county upon the
harmony that exists in the party and
the prospects of a glorious victory at
the polls this fall.

the following delegates to the state con-
vention which meets in Helena next

Stull, o. F.. Goddard, w. H. Donovan,
and H. 3. Segur. The first seven named

cial district convention which meets at
the same time. Rev. G. G. Stull, pastor
of the M. E. church of this ely, was I'M
animo1sy nominated for the state legis-
lature, the nominating speech being
made by O.. F. Goddard. The mention OF
| Rev. Stull's name brought forth vocifer-
Gus applause and his appearance in the
