The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-10-31

Between now and next Tuesday
the voters will have made their decis-
ion regarding their favored candi-
dates. For w. T. McKeown, whose
honest countenance appears above,
there should be a good majority. He
is running on the democratic ticket,
but nevertheless he has ardent sup
porters amongst the republicans and
socialists, all of whom are struck by
the rugged honesty of the man, his
enterprise, his fearlessness. Not be-
ing backed by any of the large corpo-
rations, with whom he has never
had any connection, Mr.. McKeown
stands an absolutely Independent
candidate, with every inclination to
be just and fear not For a county
attorney just such man is needed.
One who will play no favorites, but
act as his conscience and the males
ty of the law directs.
1t has been shown that Mr.. Nc
Keown is competent and well read
lawyer. He has won cases against
this county, and has had probably
greater experience here and else
where in the conduct of criminal
prosecutions than any lawyer in the
county, perhaps, certainly more than
his opponent on the republican
ticket, whose excuse for being in
Flathead county is that he sought a
more favorable field for his political
ambitions, having been turned down
at an election two years ago in dis
tant part of the state, where he was
running for a judicial position. Mr..
McKeown expects rousing majority
in Kalispell precincts, where he is
best known, and in his canvass
throughout the county, which has
been a persistent and thorough one
since his nomination, he has added
many friends from all parties, who
have pledged to him their sincere
support.
To steal the thunder from the OPP
young man, and an energetic one.
Thirty-four years is the age of expert
ence when youthful aspirations still
cling and every man is at his best,
both physically and mentally. The
Bee predicts that w. T. McKeown,
Flathead county's choice for county
attorney will give satisfaction and be
reelected two years hence upon his
good record.

EVANS FOR CONGRESS-.

Sifted down, the only point made
in this campaign against John M.
Evans of Missoula is that he is a
democrat and will be of the minority
in congress. In ability and superior
qualifications Joe Dixon, the oppos-
ing candidate, does not furnish much
of comparison. Mr.. Evans has
record in Missoula county and west
ern Montana as friend of the poor
and oppressed, and also that he has
successfully COPIED with the problem
of life.
The silly twaddle that he was an I'M
reconstructed rebel has followed that
of his being an enemy of organized
labor, because, forsooth, he once en-
ployed Jap or a Chinaman in a
mental capacity at his Missoula home,
rather than chop the wood and hover
over the kitchen stove himself, his

OUR PRESENT SHERIFF.

1t requires no stretch of the imagi-
nation to conceive that the criminal
business of Flathead county has dou-
bled in the past two years, with the
consequent increase in expenses. The
registration of the Kalispell district
alone shows an increase of new vot-
ers exceeding 500, and other parts
of the county show that proportionate
increase Do 10000 people entail a
greater expense in control and gov
eminent than 5000?
And the smallpox figures which
have been such aid and comfort to
the opponents of Sheriff Hand are as
easily explained away. The records
show that during all the two years
term of Sheriff Hubbart there were
only 70 days during which smallpox
was prevalent in the county and to-
tai of but IA cases during those two
years. 1t is, perhaps, nothing to be
proud of, but fact, nevertheless
that during one year of Sheriff
Hands term there were over 300
cases of smallpox to be taken care
of by that office These figures are
correct and were furnished by the
physician in charge at both periods
So much for this attempt of the oppo
sition to Mr.. Hand to assault hin
with a preponderance of figures in al

Immediately following the nominal
ton of A. J. King for state senator,
the Bee stated it's objections to his
candidacy and offered it's columns for
any explanation or reputation which
Mr.. King or his friends might choose
to make. With but three more days
remaining of the campaign, Mr.. King
has utterly failed to make any reply
whatever In opposing his election,
the Bee has done so without the least
bitterness and because it believes the
best interest of the community de-
mands his defeat.
For twelve years past, Mr.. King
has made his livelihood by holding
Office, and it is fair to presume that
he expects to at least make a living
out of the office of state senator, and
how does he expect to do it? The
Office pays salary of only $3.50 per
year, less than one-tenth of the sum
Mr.. King will spend in his effort to
secure the place, and from whence
comes the bountiful supply of money
being used by Mr.. King in his cam
paign? Is he a man of Independent
means who can afford to spend a
small fortune to secure a purely hon
orary office? Certainly the man of
modest means has a right to aspire
to the highest office, but there is a
vast difference between the man of
modest means who earns his living
by honest toll and the professional
politician who lives by his wits. The
people of Flathead county have had
enough of the Geiger stripe of Office
holder, and his ridiculous attempts
to explain his suddenly acquired
wealth after his fraudulent induction
into the state senate four years ago.
Two years ago in the preliminary
lineup, Mr., King was an ardent and
vociferous opponent of the Clark
democracy, but in the midst of the
struggle he suddenly climbed over
the fence and at once became the
leading shouter for the Clark forces
in this county. There were many at
the time who charged Mr.. King with
having sold out for money. AS to the
truth of that charge, the Bee has no
knowledge, nor does it care for the
man who can change his political
convictions in a night is no better
than the man who sells himself for
money.
In his frantic efforts to secure the
present nomination Mr.. King went to
the extreme of denying representa-
ton in the convention to those demo
Gratis who voted the independent
ticket in 1900 and large majority of
them will still have sufficient indie
pendence left to vote against Mr..
King in the coming election. What
ever the result, the Bee will accept it
gracefully, and the man who is elect
ed will have the earnest support OF
this paper in any effort to benefit the
people of Flathead county or the
state of Montana; but in the inter
ests of clean, wholesome government
Mr.. King should be elected to stay
at home, and thus be given an oppor
tunity to show the people that he car
earn a living by some other means
than feeding at the public crib.

LESLIE OR HOLLOWAY.

Mr.. Heinze has campaigned Mon
tana and appealed to the democracy
to slight the party candidate for
associate justice and flock to Hollo-
way, the republican and rump nomi-
nee. His request has had little
weight, particularly because the dem
ocrats are thoroughly satisfied with
Jere Leslie as their candidate.
Judge Leslie, as a lawyer of expert
ence, as a tried and skilled judge on
the bench, has record that Judge
Holloway cannot begin to equal.
The last time that, Judge Leslie
ran as a candidate for the district
court judgship in Cascade county, the
citizens over there all but made his
election unanimous, giving him a ma
jority of 1886 votes.
On the other hand, at the same
election, Judge Holloway only car
ried his judicial district, comprising
the counties of Gallatin, Broadwater
and Meagher by total majority of
lat votes.
One of the best estimates you can
get of man is to find out how he
stands at home, and this test as ap-
piled to Judge Leslie and Judge Eol-
loway shows that the Great Falls
gentleman has several hundred votes
the best of it.
So that if the fact that Judge Hol-
loway is the candidate of a powerful
corporation with $S0,000,000 capital
is eliminated from consideration at
the present time, it will be seen that
in the estimate of the people who
know them best Judge Leslie's posi-
ton is immensely superior to that of
Judge Holloway.
Judge Leslie is also an older man
than Judge Holloway, and has had
far greater experience as a practic-
ing lawyer and as a judicial officer
than the Bozeman man has had a
chance to acquire.
Under these conditions, if the pres
ent contest were one in which nc
politics or other matters entered
there could be no question that judge
Jere Leslie would be the choice of the
people of this state for the position
of associate justice, because he is
better fitted for the office.
Mr.. Carter, it has been noticed, has
been speaking in behalf of Judge Hol
loway's candidacy, and has spoken
very strongly in favor of that gentle
man, but in the same speeches he has
no less strongly condemned Mr.
Heinze, who is also 'championing the
cause of Mr.. Holloway.
Under these conditions it. is very
difficult to understand how any demo
crat could possibly accede to Mr.
Heinze's request and vote for mai
for Justice of the supreme court fol
whom Mr.. Carter is stumping the
state.
Judge Holloway, it must honestly
be said, is inferior to Judge Leslie IL
every way, and the only strength tina
is claimed for the former that the
latter does not possess is that the
Bozeman candidate is the avowet
candidate of one of the largest corpo
rations in the state.

the only one IN town where lines vould

price for lines at shis season Of the year
Is about ib or 20 cents dozen. Now
they are 80 cents n dozen and many
think the price will go higher. The
