Ed McGehee.
When the democratic partv nom
mated Ed McGehee for county assesso,
they took into consideration the fact
that his opponent would be the strong
man on the republican ticket and tina,
he would be hard man to beat, bu,
we see no reason why Mr.. McGehee
could not all with equal satisfaction,
possibly greater, the office of assessor.
Mr.. Meg ehee is one of the old-timers
of Rosebud county, thoroughly homes,
and reliable.

For the Office of clerk and recorder
the democrats have selected a man
who is thoroughly competent and de.
serving of the honor. Mr.. Schoelkopf
was born at West Bend, Wis, in the
year 1872, spending his boyhood days
with his parents on the farm and at
tending district school. After which
he filled the position of brakeman on
various railroads in Wisconsin until
the year 1895, when he came to Mon
tana and was engaged as brakeman
on the Northern Pacific until the year
1899, when he was promoted to freight
conductor, which position he filled un-
til his accident, September %, 1908.
resulting in the loss of a limb and ne
cessitating his retirement from the
railroad. He has since been engaged
in the real estate and insurance busi-
ness in Forsyth.
Should the people of Rosebud county
choose Mr.. Schoelkopf to fill the Office
of clerk and recorder he will make a
competent, thorough and conscientious
official. You cannot do better than
place-your X before the name of p. C..
Schoelkopf on the 9Th day of November.
Miss Gertrude M. Higgins.
There is no individual, however
phlegmatic by nature and passive in
however disinterested in
his surroundings, but that he will
rouse himself when his town wins the
baseball championship of the state.
No one, however secretly envious he
may be of fellow citizen who has OBJ
tanned the nomination for some office.
but that he will secretly glory in his
victory, if his opponent be an out-of-
town man. This is kind of love for
home and is sort of Unborn patriot
ism that is as natural as the breath of
life. To be sure there are times when
it is necessary to lay aside this feeling
Of patriotism and govern the action
from the single standpoint of qualifica-
ton, but all things being equal there
is not question but that man would
choose to honor one of his own rather
than a stranger.
The efficiency of our present conntv
is already we'll known:
An efficiency which is based not only
1pon educational qualifications, but
1pon other qualities equally impor-
ant.
Miss Higgins was raised and edu-
lated in Montana, having spent three
years in the state university at Mis-
'oula and taken special training at

gained practical experience as a
eacher both in the country and graded

10Th from an educational and from a
PRACTICAL standpoint.
Our county superintendent has given
