of his family.
But it does not depend upon your per-
sonal force, which is a free translation for
the New Testament word "fesh." It
stands for the animal man, not necessarily
the bad animal man. It means a strong,
vigorous force in the man himself. Now,
John says this strong, vigorous force will
never give a man his spiritual supremacy.
Let me illustrate, rather than debate, the
proposition. Noah must have had a strong

This, as suggested, has been

Elsewhere in our columns will be
found an interview with ex-senator

state central committee on the polit.
ical situation in this state. Mr.. Man.
tie does not mince words in describ.
Ing the crazy quilt aggregation form
ed in Helena during the past ten days
and passing under the name of the
Democratic state ticket. The ticket
is composed of the odds and ends OF
several parties, without any particu.
lar purpose in view save the securing
of the offices and doing the bidding of
its several masters. All the mining
litigants and corporation interests that
have dtsgraced Montana in the past
Eve years had a hand in shaping the
Democratic state ticket. Heinze is
pleased with what he got and the
~Amalgamated is just as highly elatcd.
And yet this is the party that was
going To be free from corporation con.
troll. The Republican state ticket is free
from such influences. No pledges
have been made to anyone. The Re,
publican state ticket is composed of
men who were chosen by the people
rather than by some emissary of the
corporations. Its candidate for gov.
ernor is not a dodger, a trickster or a
straddler, bidding for the support of
one element here and another there.
He goes before the people with clean
hands and a clear conscience. II elect
ed he will serve all the people in the
higher sphere of usefulness with that
same answering integrity that mark.
ed his course when a member of the
Legislature. William Lindsay has been
tried and never found wanting.

Is there a Montana farmer who has
sold his crop at satisfactory profit this
year who does not know that the rea.
son he was able to do so is because
of Republican legislation? If he does
not think so. let him remember, II he
is in the Gallatin or Missoula or Mis-.
souri, or Yellowstone valley. how saw.
age was the place where his home
now is twenty-five years ago. The Re.
publican party not only gave him the
homestead law, but il pushed the rail.
road in advance of civilization to give
him first, safety, and second, a means
to market his crop.
Has any wool man in Montana done
well this year, II he has any doubts
that the of 1t was the Republi
can tariff, let him try to remember
how il was eight and nine and ten
years ago.
Is there any lead and silver miner
doing fairly well this year? Let him
estimate what the effect would be to
take the tariff from lead.
Are there any lumbermen in north.
ern Montana doing pretty well? Let
such imagine reciprocity with Canada
which the Montana Democracy las
week demanded, in full force; then
let them find where their profits would
come in. Let the merchants and pro
fessional men try to imagine Montana
as IL would be were ne protection
which the government has drawn
around Montana's industries, and tn,
increased facilities which have beer
supplied to Montana by direct Repub
lican legislation, and in the face a
Democratic opposition. and then LEI
them try to estimate where their pro
fits would come In.
Again, let the laboring lei Of Mon

this fact in mind:
Except for the Republican policies
which have been dominant in Mon
tana from the beginning. save in the
one interval of Mr.. Cleveland's las
administration, there would not b,
room in the great state for one-thirt

respect is true In almost every othel

ant of N Of the signers of the Dec.

ed his intention to vote for President

House as such men would treat the
black man. want a man for presi,
dent who will treat all men alike on
their merits al men. In this respect
| think Roosevelt has been a godsend
To this country, for he has displayed
qualities that we have not seen in
a president of the United States for
many years, Eight years ago the
country was torn by a conflict between
classes, and Roosevelt has done more,
and | believe will continue TO do more
to dissipate the spirit of class hatred,
which is about the worst thing that
could befall the country, than any
other man | know of. We cannot hope
for perfection. but we can strive TO
attain as closely to il as possible, and
| am convinced hat Roosevelt means
to do the right thing, and do it to the
best of his ability, and that is the sort
of a president | want, and the sort of
a president | believe the people of
this country want"
