The national administration is now
carrying on an investigation for the
purpose of obtaining information nee
essary to enable it to eliminate from
| the forest reserves all land fit for
| agricultural purposes, and we pledge
the nominees of this convention on
the legislative ticket to assist in ex-
pediting this good work by means of
memorials and such other means as
may be available.
| We demand such an amendment of
the present registration laws of the
state as will preserve to every voter
his right to vote, and we denounce
| the present law as unjust and in
equitable and as having the effect of
| DISTINGUISHING a large number of vot-
ers in Flathead county, as we'll as in
other parts of the state, and we hold
the democratic party directly respon-
sible for this condition of affairs.
We unreservedly indorse the Off
cial acts of Hon. Thomas H. Carter
in the past, and believe him a true
and safe leader of the republican par
ty in Montana, and we point with
pride to his record in the United
States senate on the arid land bill, in
opening up a vast area in Montana
| to homeseekers.
