In supporting Parker in the east

in different directions at the same

One of the strongest obstacles In
the way of II. Gassaway Davis sue

conditions of the industries of the
state. which have been built up under
Republican policies.
President Roosevelt's attractive
personality and the knowledge mat

WORK FOR 1pg WHOLE TICKET

Now that the campaign Is on IN
earnest 1t devolyes upon every loyal
Republican to work for the success oil
MS party. Never before has the
party had a more inspiring national
leader. He is a tower of strength, es'
pecially in Montana. Men of all par
Ties have a strong admiration for
Theodore Roosevelt. Many regard
him as a personal friend, so firmly
has he stood by and ch%ampioned the
interests of the west.
In u candidate for governor We
have a man whose integrity will new
er be assalled, who has served his
constituents with marked ability and
made a success of his own business
He is free from all entangling ALLAN
ces and corrupt bargaining, The
whole state ticket is composed of hon
orable and capable men, named by
delegates duly chosen to the state
convention and not by a corporation
dictator and boss pulling the strings
from behind the scenes.
As to the county ticket it is diff.
cult to e where it could be imDroy-
ed upon. The candidates are all well
known and highly respected. They
are men of integrity and the highest
efficiency. Such as have been tried
in office have received nothing but
praise for their stewardship from
those most competent to judge of
their work. No good Republican will
have cause to scratch" his ticket
when he compares it man for man
with that of the opposition. Every
Republican and every Democrat who
desires to clean out the lobby of graft
ers and corporation emissaries that
have disgraced Montana's capitol in
times past and who desire a cOntinu.
ance of the policies that has made
this nation great and Montana pros
porous, should vote for the legislative
candidates on the Republican ticket.
They will not only look after the in
terests of Fergus county, but they will
vote for a United States senator who
can do something for Montana as we'll

Let there be no personalities or

FROM The STATE PRESS

Congressman Dixon has been large

acres of land to the public domain in

We notice from a recent New York
dispatch that Senator w. A. Clark
met National Chairman Taggart and
pledged to him the Montana electoral

the chase he led General Howard in
1877, when he entered Montana to the

that Chief Joseph and his warriors
