The Situation i'm This County,,

a Forsyth correspondent of the Butte
Reveille gives a correct account of the
political situation in Rosebud county
in the following article:
Rosebud county has been made the
scene of a post rejection tiasco the like
of which has never been known in the
state of Montana before. The desper-
alton Of the Amalgamatcd republicans
and the dishonesty and stupidity Of Il
swash- buCkling justice Of the peace
named Roderick McRae has resulted
IN clash between the two political
forces of the county that reflects i'm
mense discredit on the cheap republi-
can politicians who were turned down
by the people at the polls.
Republican candidates, after spend
ing an immense sum of money to cor
rupt the election, went to defeat and so
fierce was their rage at the slap in the
face administered by the people that they
tuGncd upon the victors with ali the
mad batteries known to dirty politics.

bitter and prolonged fight and will re-
suit only in showing up tie republican

colors and branding them as lnaves
as dishonest and corrupt as ever lamp
cred with election returns
without Any Authority.
I ne attack Of the republicans is
made especially upon the members of
the board of county commissioners,
Thomas Alexander, A. II. crrett and
I. +. Hammond. These men are all
of unimpeachable reputation and re-
publican revenge takes the form of
base and cowardly Islander, with the
inteation of running the men who re-
fused to be ruled by the cheap gang of
political bunco men who are in politics

is in it.

tons OF the republicans, bewana series

Malicious FaiSehood.

The charge that the "Heinze move
ment" is responsible for the election of
any candidate here is without founda-
ton. +. Aug. Heinze made a speech
10 a monster mass meeting here during
the campaign and arou sed enthusiasm
by telling and eloquent speech
against his political enemies that un-
doubtedly made many votes for those

republicans who loaded the county
down with Doodle and resorted to every
conceivable political trick to carry the
election.
Good citizens of Rosebud county de-
plore the malicious lies sent out from
here by correspondents of Amalgamated
newspapers, and are daily flocking to

BY Unfair Means.

The republicans are desperately try.
ing to count In the interests OF the party
candidate for state senator. He is the
choice of the Amalgamated and his
connection with that notorious gang of
political ringsters resulted in his over
whelming defeat. There is no shadow
OF chance to secure the office of SEN
ator for the republicans by fair means,
and dishonesty and trickery is being
reSorted to where honest methods have
failed.
AS a matter of fact J. S. Hopkins is
the strongest candidate in the county
on any ticket. His election was the
result OF his own unbounded popularity
and political integrity and the people S

on all sides as the rottenest piece of
political corruption ever known in this
state. Nix is known from one end of
the Northern Pacific to the other as a
person whose character and high
standing entities him to the confidence
of the community. The entire popula-
ton of the county, with The exception
OF the rotten gang of political ring
