Helena Independent: Mr.. Heinze's
trip through eastern Montana may be
a bootless errand, but it is safe bet
that it won't be boozeless one.
Anaconda Standard: AS the result
Of years Of experience with the labor
interests, the people Of Butte have
learned how wide the difference is be-
tween the real workingman who
works, and the fake workingman who
crafts. The CRATER is always in evi-
dence. He is the individual who
makes tie campaign noise. The real
worlingman goes on about his busi-
ness, realizing that he is not in need
Of the services of the professional
CRATER for the protection Of any Of his
interests.
Helena Record: There is one plank
in the state republican platform which
is of especial significance to every cit
izen of Montana, no matter what his
political convictions may be, and
which should receive his hearty ap-
proval, that is the plank relating to
national irrigation. Montana has a
grand destiny in store for her. Unless
all signs fail, we are now on the eve
of a great forward movement. Poll
tics will have much to do with this,
and we appeal to every loyal citizen
of this state to ally himself with that
party which has the development and
Helena Record: Democratic organs
are paying a good deal Of attention
to Joe Dixon, next republican member
of congress from Montana. They need
waste no sympathy upon Mr.. Dixon.
He is one Of the best known young
republicans of the state, who has al
ways been loyal to his party and
friends, and has the personal friend
ship of every one who has the good
fortune to know him and appreciate
his sterling qualities of head and
heart Mr.. Dixon is one Of the strong.

nominated by any party and his votes
will not be confined to those of repub-
licans.
Forsyth Times: A vote for the dem
to place the representation Of Mon
tana with the minority and party of
obstruction in national councils. This
state should be represented at Wash
ington by man who believes in the
prosperity and growth of the nation;
| who is an ardent champion of those
progressive ideas which aid in the ad
vancement of the state from which he
comes. For years Montana has been
represented in the popular legislative
body by men who voted with the party
of obstruction, thus placing his constit-
uency in false light before the Amer
ican people. Let's throw off the old
democratic yoke and get into line with
those who desire to help the state, if
encouraged by the men who represent
it. The growing and undeveloped
Industries of Montana plead eloquently
for your vote to help elect the republi-
can candidate for congress.
| Forsyth Times: 1t is the most trifl-
ing kind Of politics for any politician
to sneak around and say of any news
paper that cts fight on me makes me
friends; it is doing me good every
week. If the man is not straight, and
the newspaper-no matter what its
politics may be-tells the truth about
him, he is either mighty big liar or
as big fool if he thinks he can gull
the public into supporting him by play
ing the baby act. He need not con-
gratulate himself upon the theory that
the exposure of his disgraceful acts
helps him any with the people, for it
doesn't. 1t may be little balm to his
feelings to hear some "spieler' who
isn't any more decent than he is coin
