| Gormley, the democratic candidate
for congress. 1.-The people see theil
chance to secure the reforms recon-
mended by Governor Toole, whereby
the corporations and boodlers can be
kept out of politics. A primary no,ni-
nation law and the initiative and ref.
erenduln will do the business.
"The only way to bring about these
cratic party. The Labor and Popr.
list parties recognized this when they
indorsed the democratic ticket, and in
doing SO they showed that they were
actuated by something more than de-
sire for Office.
1.-THE republicans simply laugh at
their own party's declarations on
these questions. Their platform is
treated as joke everywhere.
''On rational issues the democrats
are gaming ground in this state. If
Parker is elected president he will
stand for constitutionalism, as op-
posed to the absolutism of Roosevelt.
Questions of finance can well be held
in allegiance, but the American people
can hardly afford to endanger the fun
dament tai principles of the repnblic by
indorsing the extravagant imperalis-
tic and unconstitutional politics of the
republican party.
with Parker as president and
Toole as governor, the citizens of
Montana will be secure in all the
rights guaranteed them under the
state and federal constitutions.
Miles omney
II see no indications of anything
but democratic victory this year."
says Miles Romney, candidate for Sec
retary of state. 1.-The people want
Governor Toole as their governor,
and l have no doubt they will elect
state officers who will be in sympathy
with governor Toole on the various
state boards; for that is very impo1-
tant matter.
ut is necessary, too, to have leg
islature that is in sympathy with the
governor, and that will stand soldly
for the democratic platform, which
embodies the governors recommenda-
tions. 1t is the best platform we have
good of the state than any the party
has ever had.
"We have forced the republicans
into a campaign of lame apology, and
we will win"
Phil. c. Goodwin
The democratic candidate for au-
ditor of state is enthusiastically for
the ticket. eff indications count for
any thing" he says, 1.-The democracy
of Montana should have the largest
M majority in its history, both as to the
CO unties and the state as whole. The
Montana democracy is more nearly
united in every part of the state than
it has been in years.
"The populist and labor parties have
come to the conclusion that with one.
tenth of the energy required to con-
duct losing campaign, they can ac-
com plish more good by working with
the party that is always willing to do
what is beneficial to the greatest num-
ber; and when these measures are put
i nto effect it is certain that they will
be en- forced by such an executive as
Governor Tooie, whose honesty and
sincerity are doubted by none.
Il believe that Parker will carry
he state. The democrats are enthus-
astic and the republicans are not.
Lined up as the democrats are this
year, there should be no question as to
the result"
Chas. II. Hall
"This campaign is on issues that
make men think. The more they
think, the more certain they are that
the democratic platform means some
thing for the good of the people, and
that the republican platform is a plat
form without meaning or promise of
better things. The democratic plat
form is a pledge to the people that if
our state ticket is elected and demo.
