Honorable Thomas Henry Carter is his
prophet. Thomas looks after the Nc
Kinley prosperity in Montana and, of
course, the Flathead republicans couldn't
afford to overlook him; the nominees for
the various county offices were given
proper boost, but Company H seems to
have been entirely forgotten. Not a
word appears in the resolutions in COM
mendation of the boys who furnished
the convention orators with SO much
ammunition. The owner of federal pat
ronage, the dispenser of federal patron
age and the seekers after county patron
age were not forgotten, but the boys who
fought in the war of benevolent assim-
ilation," who made sacrifices and risked
their lives for the cause of Cuban liberty
las they believed when they enlisted),
there is no place in the republican coun-
ty platform.
Was the neglect intentional or was it
merely an oversight? Did the usefulness
of Company H to the local republican
party cease with the nomination of Mr.
Swaney for sheriff and Lieut.. McIntire
for representative?
The omission looks significant. 1t in
dicates the same spirit as that which is
willing to make promises but is unwill-
ing to put the promises in writing.
