E. E. Coy, for forgery, when the Santa
Ada was en route to Valdez last, were not
msIestsd after getting on the Santa Ana,
Just after that ship went out into the chan
mel from MoOte's wharf. They were
landed at Ellamors and Coy got off at
Valdez.
The officers Of the Santa claim that they
were not aware that they had anv men on
board named Absmsthy and Bruner; but
admit that thev took two men out Of
launch juft after swinging into the stream
from Moore's wharf. The purssr and
other officers say they took Il for granted
that the men were from Dyea, and that
they had not had time to reach slSagwaY.
They say thev did not recognize the men
at all, as having been on the steamer be
fore. Coy never said word about the
affair after leaving skagwly nor did the
men who were put on the boat at SkSg-

The purssr admits that the men who

radical abolitionists of the William

Born in New York's famed Mohawk
valley, Elizabeth Cady married Henry
Brewster Stanton in 1910. The bride
rapidly became as radical as the

While in London Mrs. Stanton met
Lucretia Mott, with whsm she signed

States. The meeting was held in lSis
in Seneca Falls, n. Y and it issued
the first formal claim for suffrage OF

a vigorous fighter. She vas dogmatic
yet she managed to hold her own as
a recognized leader. She was persis-
tent in planning TO have things go the
way she thought they ought to go.
She had a mind of her own about

c~ampaigned many states; she address
ed congressional and legislative com
mittees; she attended zealously to the
duties that fell to her as an executive
officer of many associations; she lee

with Susan b. Anthony, she faced as

and notable woman. She was a hope

realize what she had anticipated. but
who gloried greatly in what victory
she scored. She went through an

ELECTION DAY IN lEWlSTOWN.
Very Little That Was Exciting Hap.
pened During the Day.

The weather on election day was
unpropitious. but in spite of the pre-
yailing chilliness the candidates on
both tickets were out early rustling
the backward voter. Teams were
busy at an early hour taking voters
to the polls and politicians could be
seen on every corner advising the un-
wary voter where to make his mark.
There was a noticeable absence OF
a superfuity of red eye" during the
whole of the day and the judges both
in west and EAST Lewistown report
that the ballots were marked in a
most intelligent manner and mistakes
we're few.
The brunt of the fight made by the
opposition was for Alexander, Hazen
and Slater, but in spite of their efforts
in the city j. ID. Waite got 81 majority
and Bebb Al: Kelly was beaten by a
small majority. Bebb ran ahead OF
the ticket with Day a close second
and the results of the election shows
that Lewistown is Republican with
out a doubt.
Reports of the votes cast in outside
precincts and also Associated Press
reports were received at the Argus
office and many of the business houses
had made arrangements to get bulle-
tins. Large crowds hung around the
various bulletin boards waiting for re-
turns. but when the last bulletin was
issued at $3.50 in the morning there
were yet fifteen precincts to be heard
from and with the exception OF King,
| Belden. Fowler and Mckee no definite
conclusions could be arrived at. Bel
den and Kings election was assured,
while Fowler and Mckee were nope

There was no disturbance through
out the day and with the exception
OF a lone yell once and awhile, emit
ted by some Individual under the IN
luence" or a little political joshins
on the street corners. 1t was hard 10
tell that anything out Of the ordinary
was happening. Money was freely OF
fered on J. d. Waite all day, while
Bebb money found no takers. The
universal opinion is that 1t was one
of the quietest elections ever hell III

OFFICIAL PAPER op FERGUS COUNTY.
THE ELECTIONS.

While several Of the candidates on
the Republican county ticket have
fallen by the wayside, there is much
to feel grateful for in the result OF
yesterdays elections.
The state has been redeemed in a
measure from Democratic misrulo and
debauchery. At this writing there
seems to be no question about the
election of Joseph NJ. Dixon. Repub.
lican candidate for congress. nor Of
Judge Holloway for associate justice,
while there is every indication of the
election of n majority of the logisla-
tive candidates throughout the state
Throughout the country in gcncr-
al comes the cheering lows OF Rcpuh-
lican success The next house OF con
gress will be safely Republican, iusur-
ing the hearty cooperation Of that
body with President Roosevelt and
the senate.
Ohio, Illinois, New York, Massachu-
sets, Iowa and all of the great states
of the union are safely Republican.
The solid south alone is joined to it's
ideal of Democracy.
Even Idaho and Colorado show an
inclination to get back into the Repub-
lican fold. and the former state is
even claimed by the latter on con-
gresham and legislature.
For an of year the country has done
handsomely by the party of prosper
ity and progress and the result means
the triumphant election of Theodore
Roosevelt two years hence.
There are many reasons for the par
tial defeat Of the Republican ticket
in this county, which are o neces-
sary To give here. But it Is very evi.
dent the people have set their seal Of
disapproyal TO long tenures in office,
a hint that candidates and party man.
ayers will do well to remember in the
future. The voice of the people is SUI
preme in such matters.
There was a great falling of in the
Republican vote in the outside pre-
cincts of the county. The vote was
comparatively light and the MAORI,
ties small.
However, no Republican will lose
courage. With more caution in nam
ing candidates and better organization
two years hence the party car easily
retrieve what at present appears to be
lost.
Returns from remote precincts may
save a couple OF candidates but L
may be- several days before the total
vote OF the county can be given.
John ID. Waite and +. w. King
are certainly elected, with good pros
poets OF Smith defeating Hilger.
