FRANK j. EDWARDS,

The Republican nominee for state
treasurer, is d Montanian. He was
born in Helena September II, 1868, and
was educated in the public schools OF
the city. At eighteen he established
the business in which he is now en-
gagged, that of crockery and glassware
He has always taken an active. inter-
est in politics. He was elected to the
city council in 1894. Four year later,
he was elected mayor of Helena, in the
face of apparently overwhelming odds,
receiving a handsome majority Of 257.
Last April he was reelected, by more
than two-thirds of all the votes cast.
He has always been an ardent cham
pion and supporter of municipal own
ership and favors the submission of
all propositions involving the expendi-
ture of any large sum of O to a
vote of the taxpayers affected thereby.
Last February he recommended the
investment Of $50, 900 to obtain a city
light plant, but owing to GER
legal features, the city was en-
joined from further proceedings and
The subject is now in court, awaiting
final determination.
Mayor Edwards enjoys the full con-
ddence of the people of Helena, ad
vas shown by the regular election OF
April, and special elections, u

II. J.. PORTER,

The life Of Mr.. Thomas J. Porter, un-
til he was twenty-one years old, was
spent on his fathers farm, and his first
schooling was obtained in the public
schools in the vicinity. In 1874 he en-
tered a preparatory school to fit him
self for college. Then reverses came,
but he was equal to the emergency.
He obtained a position as teacher in a
country school, and with the money he
had been able to save he went to Leb-
anon, Ohio, and entered college. He
graduated with high honors. After
serving as superintendent Of schools at
Jackson, Tennessee, for some time, he
resigned to study law. Returning to
Lebanon, he entered the law office of
John E. Smith, one Of Ohio's most emf
nent attorneys, where he fitted himself
for admission to the bar Of Ohio. In
1886 he came to Montana. He began
by securing the superintendency Of the
Miles City schools. The law firm Of
Strevell & Porter was formed later,
and from that date Mr.. Porter has
been actively and successfully engaged
In the practice of his profession. In
he has always been a Repub-
Lican and an active worker in the
ranks of the party. For the past four
years he has been chairman Of the Re-
county committee of Custer

During McKinley's administration we
have gone far to supplement what Will
liam H. Seward did. Seward got hold of
Alaska, bought it for $1,000, 900. The $4,000
was added to the purchase price for the
purpose of paying for Goa that had been
consumed by the British fleet in coming
over into New York harbor at the time
when the British were about to attack
us when Mason and SlidelI were seized.
The purchase price was $40 900 That
carried with it Alaska and the Aleutian
stands. The Hawaiian islands take in
the center of the Pacific; the Philippine
islands the southwest. Thus, we have
within a single administration secured
physical control of the Pacific ocean. If
we r~e-elect Mckinley, as we will the
close Of the next administration will wit
ness the complete commercial conquest
of the Pacific, and 1 propose three cheers
for Mckinley, Roosevelt and prosperity
