Rev. Henry Quickenden: l think ali
the forces of the community ought to
unite in sustaining those who have
won in the effort to improve condi-
tons in the city. We cannot get good
officials unless we stand by them in
their well-doing. l am in hearty SYM
pathy to secure the election of non
partisan ticket at the coming election.
Let us have men Of moral convictions
and who have the backbone to stand
by them when assailed.
c. A. Delzell: am not in politics.
But the idea of citizens ticket in
LewistOwn certainly appears to me
to be good thing. If the people can
get together, forget political differen-
ces for the good of the city, and select
a ticket that will ho q guarantee of a
business-like administration, l certain
ly favor it. In my opinion, the plan, if
1t can be carried out, ought to COM
mend itself to every man who has
the city's good at heart.
l.. l.. Warden: believe citizens
administration of our affairs here
means the salvation Of the city. Par
tisan politics should be eliminated in
the coming election, in my opinion.
Archibald Hopkins; favor a citi-
zen's ticket that will be representa-
tive one, ticket that will be a guar.
antee in itself of good government.
If this movement is to be made sue.
cessful, partisanship should be laid
aside. and the good of the city alone
considered. It can then be carried
out along the lines that will give gen.
eral satisfaction to the community.
VIM. M. Abel: A citizens non par
tisan ticket would suit me. l believe
that a continuation of the movement
to give the city good, business-like
administration will meet with general
approval. There is no need of carry.
ing partisan politics into our little
municipal elections If better results
can be obtained in another way.
John F. Abel: l am in favor of a
citizens ticket and an administration
ON business principles. It seems to
be entirely practical here. and the
city is gamer by It.

and just examinations. Mark the pa
pers fairly and impartially. l shall
probably ask for some of the sets of
examination papers after they have
been marked by you in order that I
may get good idea Of the educational
qualifications of the teachers in the
different counties in the state.
Should you desire aid, in marking
papers in any of the higher branches,
you may send such papers to this Of
fee this time.
Require each of your examines to
use the same kind of paper and for
this purpose this Office would recon-
mend the ordinary legal cap. Require
the applicants to write with pen and

written with lead pencil. After it has
been written it must in no case be re-
turned to the examinee for any sub
sequent correction or revision by him

tory Mr.. Waite is safe and conserva-
tive legislator and man whose views
command attention when directed to
any proposed legislation coming before
a committee of which he is in charge
or is a member. Mr. Waite being a
member of the senate steering COM
mittee, is also working to secure the
enactment of needed legislation,
among which, we trust, will be the
bill for primary elections bearing his
name.
In these times it is not the member
who does the most talking on the
floor and who offers the most bills,
that should be considered as the most
useful and able member. Dozens of
bills have been killed that should
never have had birth, through the eff.
fort or mistaken zeal Of some mem
Der who imagines that he mustt be
doing something to earn his money
and show his constituents that he is
a statesman.
For ability and business-like dis
erection in the performance Of their
duties the Fergus delegation will

Whatever the merits of tn

Whatever the merits of the judicial
district bill vetoed by Gov. Toole, d
question is raised as to the governor
powers and prerogatives. Able law
ycrs in the state hold that the legis.
lature did not transcend its author
ity, in naming who shall hold the of.
flee it had created, until the next gen
eral election. This is a question that
should be definitely determined now.
A governor not in harmony with the
legislative body can do lots of mis-
chief with his veto if he feels dispos.
ed. If the legislature is trespassing
upon the rights of the governor it
would be well to know that also. 1t
would save a whole lot of log-rolling,
buttOn-hOling and anxiety upon the
part of those wanting an office, as we'll
as the time of legislators in framing
and passing bills of doubtful constitu-
tionality.

FERGUS COUNTY MEMBERS.

In the Ninth legislative assembly,
which closes it's labors tomorrow, the
Fergus county members have taken a
conspicuous and honorable part.
In the election of Representative
WHY'S A. Hedges as speaker, the
members of the house made no mis-
take. He readily fell in with the
duties of this most trying position
and has won the esteem and praise
of all parties and factions in the
house for his fairness and impartial
ity, which were extended as far as
party obligations would permit. Not
only in the chair but ON the floor of
the house, Mr.. Hedges has left the
impress OF his worth and ability. do
ing what he believed to be for the
best interests of the people.
Representative Wiedeman was as
signed to important committees and
has taken an active interest in all
legislation. AS member of the
steering committee of the house. he
has worked zealously and consistently
for the passage of desired legislation,
affecting both his constituents and
the state at large. For his first ex-
perience in a legislative body Mr..
Wiedeman has made a splendid rec

No doubt some of the Democrats TOOK

the supreme court of the United

the president is going to see that the

Congressman Dixon is doing things
again. The fish commissioner has in.
formed him that the department
would honor his request for 100000
whitefish, which will be used to stock
Flathead, Mcdonald and other lakes
in the northwestern part of this state.
Three cars are to be used in shipping
the fish and the shipment will be the
largest ever made to the northwest.
The commission has also ordered from
Lake Erie whitefish eggs for the Boze
man hatchery. With the Bozeman
hatchery delivering trout and gray
ling for our mountain streams and
the large lakes of the state be stocked
with whitefish Montanans may yet be-
come habitual fish eaters.

Next Saturday, March 4, will be in
ausuration day in Washington. Great
preparations are being made for the
event, which will probably surpass
any like public demonstration in the
history of the country, owing to the
popularity of the president. 1t is es-
timated that hundred thousand peo-
day, among that number will be found
cowboys, rough riders and Indians
The parade will be unique, and withai,
a grand sight-the best feature of the
elaborate program. Teddy's hat will
be off and he will be showing his
teeth to the enthusiastic procession
for three long hours.

Perhaps our Democratic contempt
rary has discovered by this time that
the bill for the segregation Of a strip
along the southern part of Fergus
county and attaching the same to
Yellowstone county has been indefi-
nltely postponed. Because Senator
Waite followed the usual procedure
of objecting to the introduction of a
bill to which he was opposed, and the
bill was introduced through senator
ial courtesy, it does not follow that
he was turned down. The ultimate
disposition of bill or any proposed
| legislation is what determines the
personal or political influence of any
member of the senate or house.
