form. These issues are vital, and the
changes demanded in the constitution
and the statutes are the most necessary
to the general welfare of the people OF
this state. BY electing the democratic
state ticket and democratic legis.
lature, the demand of the platform
will be put into effect, and thus the
people of Montana will have the
satisfaction of knowing that we have
not only done what is best, but have
also taken an advanced position among
the states in regard to measures that
will in few years have the approval
Of the American people.
"1t is proper that Montana should
be IN the lead in these matters. The
people are awaking to the Importance
of the initiative and referendum, a
direct primary nomination law, a rail
road commission, an efficient fellow
servant law and other democratic
measures, as it is proper that we
should be ir the front of the move
nent. The people know that the
democratic party is in earnest when
it al vocates these measures; and l
believe the people feel that the
republican party is not equally
sincere.
"There are many laboring men in
Montana, and they will approve Of
Judge Parker's opinion that an eight
hour law is constitutional. In view
of the conditions in Colorado. it is
important for the people of Montana
to have in the governors office man
like Gov. Toole. He should and will
be reelected, and in the other state
offices to uphold his democratic poll
cies and help him on the state boards
should be democrats: and put into
effect the demands and pledges of the
democratic PLATFORM, the legislature
should be Democratic.
II heartily approve of the demo-
cratic platform and of Governor
Toole's position, and pledge myself to
aid him in every way possible person
ally and officially, if am elected"

1.-The people of eastern Montana are
deeply interested IN irrigation" says
Mr.. Kay, 1.-The stand the democratic
party has taken in it's platform, and
Governor Toole's record to back it,
will insure a majority vote from our
part of the state for the democratic
ticket.
1.-The strong stand of democrats on
the initiative and referendum strikes
a responsive chord. The men who
labor, and all classes of business men
who deplore corporation control of
leg islatior, realize that they can have
for the people by voting
the democratic ticket.
The national ticket is gaining
strength every day, and l believe it
will carry the state. We will send
senator from Carbon coun-
ty to aid in enacting into law the
measures for which our party stands.
There is nothing that will do more to
purify politics than Direct Primary
Law"
