DIXON AND

Inc results OF the Republican state
convention at Great Falls Saturday
cannot but be gratifying to every Re-
publican Of the state OF Montana and
to every man-of whatever party he
may be-who has at heart the good
interest of the state and the nation.
The men named are able. conscien-
tious lawyers who have been identi-
fed with the state for years and whose
integrity and ability is beyond ques-
ton. Absolutely free from any faint
Of corporation dictation, under no
pledges to factions, companies or in
dividuals. named by the free VIII OF
over four hundred delegates coming
from every portion OF the state and
without rancor, they certainly will Sc
cure the support of a good majority
of the electors Of Montana.
Jos. NJ. Dixon, nominee for congress,
is a well known citizen of Missoula,
but hereafter he will be now not as
"of Missoula" but as "of Montana"
He has served his county as attorney
and member of the legislature and 1t
is said that regardless OF party the
people of Missoula county admire Mr..
Dixon for his ability and honesty. am
ply proven during his eleven years e S
idence among them. Unlike n other
Mr.. Dixon who was sent to congress
from this state a number of years ago
there can be no doubt that he will be
able to catch the speakers eye"
Judge Holloway of Bozeman Is not
unknown to the people of Fergus coun-
ty, he having occupied the bench here
for a few days last year, Judge Chea-
die being disqualified to sit upon a
number of actions pending. When
elected to the bench of the Ninth dis
trict two years ago, Judge Holloway
ran far ahead of his ticket and though
many Democrats were chosen, was
elected by a comfortable majority owe
another leading attorney of the dis
trict. This is ample proof of the value
his constituents placed upon MIR. Hol-
loway's fitness for judicial duties and
his elevation to the supreme bench
two years after will be a source of
qualification to the people of the state.
although those of the Bozeman dis
trict will sincerely regret to lose him.
Absolutely untainted by the tarred
stick of the fighting millionaires and
corporations of Silver Bow county,
every voter may be sure that justice
will be his watchword in determining
the grave questions of law which will
come before him.
Unlike the Democratic convention
at Bozeman, the Republicans did not
have fractional fights within their party
to settle; had no usurpers to cast out,
no rivalries to adjust, but went about
their business like men and complet-
ed their labors in one day. No mil
lionaire bosses were about to dictate,
no men to vindicate, no sores to heal.
| Republicans are united and confident
and all that is required is industrious
work to secure the election of their
candidates by safe majorities.
The platform is without doubt the
strongest declaration of principles ev'
err enunciated by a party in this state.
| President R~oosevelt's administration
at home and abroad is fully Endorsed
and the pledge given for Mentana's
support to his denomination. On every
state issue of importance the platform
clearly defines the position of the
party and manifests in no uncertain
terms the party stand for the people
and against Democratic rivalry, de.
bauchery and hypocrisy.
The Republican delegates did their
work well.
