THE JUDGEsu1p CONTEST CASES.
Respondents File Answers In Suits Before
Supreme Court.

HELENA, Dec. 2S.-William Wal.
lace, Jr., counsel for the respondents
in the action brought by the state at
the relation of Peter Breen to compel
the governor to issue certificate OF
election to him as Judge OF the district
of Silver Bow county, and the state
at the relation OF F. E. Strana nah AN
against the state canvassing board to
compel the latter to count the votes
cast for him as candidate for Judge
of the Twelfth judicial district. filed
answers today In both cases. The su.
preme court last week overruled the
demurrers to the petitions and the mo-
tions to Quash, which had been argued
before it, and gave counsel Cor the
respondents five days in which to
answer.
The action brought by Breen is OF
especial interest to the people Of Sill.
yer Bow county, as it involves the Of
fee now held by Judge McClernan OF
Department Three of the district court
or that district.
1t is set out in the answer filed in
the Breen proceeding today that the
relator Breen was not elected Judge
1t is stated that only two candid ates
were nominated by each party and
that only two men were elected for the
Office of Judge. There were only two
judgeships contemplated, and the Off
cial ballot permitted the voter to cas-,
ballots for not more than two candi'
dates. 1t is argued that in conse
quence of these facts, Breen could no,
have been elected and that he canno,
now set up the claim that he wa:
elected to an Office that was not pro
vided for on the official ballot.
The answer in the Stranahan case
is similar in some respects to that ii
the Breen proceeding. 1t is there Sc
out. however, that of 672 republican
votes cast in Valley county, only 81
contained the name of Stranahan, ani
these are alleged to have been b.
pastors that had been distributed by
the claimant of the Office. In Chou
teau there were 1872 republican votes
and not one of these ballots contained
the name of Stranahan. 1t is set VI
that there had been no proclama alto,
for judgeship election in that dis
trict, and no votes were cast for dis
trict Judge in either county, with tn
exception of the 30 pastors referred tt
as having been cast in Valley county
1t is not known how subsequent pro
ceedings may develop in these cases
Unless counsel for Breen and Strana
han file additional pleadings, it i
now in order for the proceedings tt
come before the supreme court on thei
merits. The court took a recess las
week until January ?, but it is no
thought it will transact any bushes
on that day, as New Years day fall
on Sunday and the day following viii
be legal holiday, SO far as the judi
ciary is concerned.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR HYoMEI
Far Easier To Cure Catarrh Now
Than at Any Other Season.

Now is the time to use Hyomei,
when the early summer days make it
so easy to cure catarrhal troubles.
The Hyomei treatment, breathed for
a few minutes three or four times a
day in May or June, will do good twice
as quickly as it did in January, and
nearly everyone knows that used
faithfully thea, it completely rids the
system of catarrh-
Hyomei is purely vegetable prep7
aration whose active curative prop
critics are given off when it is breath
ed off by the aid of the pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit. 1t
destroys all the germ life in the air
passages, purifies the blood by supply
ing additional ozone, and its healing,
volatile, antisept;c fragrance reaches
every corner of the respiratory tract
as no medicine taken through the
stomach can possibly do.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of neat
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest-pocket and will last lifetime,
a medicine dropper, and a bottle Of
Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei
can be procured, if desired, for fifty
cents.
At this season of the year when
catarrhal troubles can be so quickly
and readily cured, the merits of the
Hyomei treatment should be carefully
Investigated by everyone and a COM
plete outfit should be in every home.
Clarke & Co. give their personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
they sell to refund the money if 1t
does not give satisfaction. There is
no risk whatever to the purchaser OF
