Fergus County Democrat., 1906-02-06
Oppose to Primary Law.
Editor Democrat

|
1t is observed that the Democrat
| Argus, Empire and Meagher County
Republican are all in favor of the So
called Waite Primary Election law
| and thus far but one protest has ap-
peared against the adoption of the law
| and that comes from citizen of Gar
neill. The Garneill writer's main point
as to the expense to the taxpayer and
| the fact that it would take about all of
| a candidates time to conduct the pri-
mary campaign and then follow it with
| a regular campaign. That is also a
fact to be taken into consideration by
the people. A man who is capable and
able is usually a successful man in his
own affairs and will not, as a rule,
neglect his own business for two or
three months to devote his time to a
political campaign of two or three
months.
The law provides the following for
nominees:
If for nominations of candidates
for county offices other than delegates
to county conventions, by at least
three per cent Of the party vote in at
cincts of such county, and ia the ag-
sregate, not less than three per cent
of the total vote of his party in his
county,"
Under the rule laid down by the
above paragraph, candidate could
receive three per cent of his party
vote in ne-sixth of the election pre-
cincts of the county and should this
fail to be One-third of the party vote
in the county, there would be no nom
ination, and, in that event, how could
a party vote in one-siXth of the cleo
ton precincts, cuts no figure what
ever unless that vote is three per cent
of the total party vote in the county"
The Meagher County Republican de-
clares for the law on the ground that
it would do away with boss rule, and
the will of the voters would be ex-
pressed. In a populous county this
might be true, but in a county like
Fergus, for instance, where a large
per cent of the voters are in Lewis
town. Kendall and Gilt Edge. and
where thev are in easy reach of the
polls, the more precincts named would
virtually control the nominations of
party candidates and can easily be
manipulated by party bosses as
against sparsely settled districts,
where voters would fail to turn out
to a primary, when they have to
travel from one to twenty miles. The
primary election law sums up about IN
this way:
A primary election at the same cost
and with the same machinery as a
general election, a county convention
to nominate state officers, representa-
tives in congress and judges, a general
election at the same or greater eX-
pense than the primary election, and
a turmoil of politics for four mouths.
The question is up to the voter, do
you want the law? Do your own
thinking, realing of what the news
papers say you will have to pay fer
the experiment, do the voting and find
cut where you are at.

The First DISCOVERIES, C. w: Cock,

LANGFORD PARTY ONE YEAR LATE
c. W. Cook of White Sulphur Springs
Tells of Experience of His
Party in Wonderland.


Springs is the discoverer of the Yel-
lowstone National park. There is no
doubt about it, though the question
has been the cause Of much contro-
versy. The Langford expedition of
1870 is popularity credited with being
first to explore the wonderland now
famous as Yellowstone park, but
Charlie" Cook, Dave Folsom and
William Peterson were there in the
Fall of 1869, year before the Lang
ford expedition started.
Mr.. Cook isn't anxious to gain any
credit at the expense Of Langford and
the later explorers. He doesn't even
claim to be the leader of his own ex-
cursion of 80. There were only three
in it, he will tell you, and Dave Fol-
som and William Peterson were equal
"discoverers' with himself In the
middle COS Cook was a manager at
Diamond City for the Boulder Ditch
company, but he had the youthful pas
sion for adventure and a we'll fixed de-
sire to find the headwaters of the
Yellowstone river. He talked to Fol-
som and Peterson about outfitting an
expedition, and H. NJ Mcguire, who
was then editor of the Pick and Plow
at Bozeman, heard Of the scheme.
In 1868 Mcguire, who was visiting
friends in Helena invited Cook to
come there for the purpose Of joining
party that proposed to penetrate the
upper regions of the Yellowstone, and
Cook went there hoping to identify
himself with the enterprise. He told
Mcguire he would go if he could take
Folsom and Peterson with him and
the permission was granted. A number
of prominent men had been named as
eager to lead the expedition but
when Cook began to inquire he found
that the distinguished citizens were
not quite so anxious to find the head
waters of the Yellowstone as they
might have been.
Some of them wanted to know if
anybody had lost anything near the
headwaters of the stream. 1t was
known that the Crows and the Snakes
We're rading between here and the
Yellowstone and Cook made up his
mind that if he meant to make the
proposed trip he'd have to lead his
own expedition. He went back to
Diamond City and asked Folsom and
Peterson if they wanted to risk it.
Peterson got out his purse and said:
YOU'RE a better judge of horses than
I. I'm ready to start as soon as you
get me good saddle horse.''
Folsom was equally willing, but the
summer of $50 was over before Cook
and his two friends We're ready. They
set out on horseback and with two
pack horses and fully equipped with
arms, ammunition and provisions. They
had originally hoped to lead a strong
party, but word came from Fort Ellis
that Indian war parties We're abroad
and most of the would-be adventur-
ers suddenly found that they We're too
busy to go; their wives became unex-
pectedly delicate; their children We're
reported sick, and when the muster
ing day came, only Cook, Folsom and
Peterson Were ready and eager to
start.
They followed Trail creek and struck
into what is now the park, crossing

FLoRlDA's INDIAN WAR.
Osceola's Half Breed Wife Brought
About the Conflict.

In 1885 a young woman, with par
ty Of Indians visiting Fort King, was
seized and carried off as fugitive
slave on the ground that her mother
was an escaped slave who had taken
refuge with the Indians many years
before. That her father was an Indian
and she had been raised an Indian did
not count for anything. Legal claim
of ownership in the mother embraced
her also. That was law at the time.
Naturally the young husband, until
tored savage that he was, could not
recognize its justice. Proving both elo-
quent and brave, he soon had every
Indian in Florida on the warpath, nor
was it long before his name, Osceola,
was heard with terror in the exposed
white settlements. There ensued a
war, long, costly and bloody, out of all
proportions to the number engaged. 1t
is probable the Indians did not number
1900 warriors, but in the four years
required to conquer them 1900 white
lives We're sacrificed.
With the Indians it was a battle a
outrance. They had many wrongs tc
avenge, which lost nothing in the fer
vid coloring of Osceola's eloquence.
Defeat meant transportation to an uD-
known country far toward the setting
sun. Osceola claimed to have been the
friend of the white man until white
treachery and cupidity eliminated in
the seizure of his Wife. In digging up
the tomahawlS he preached war of
determination till every white man
was driven from Florida or every In
dian died in the attempt.-Lippincott

Winning n Verdict.

Sir James Scarlet, the famous Eng
fish lawyer, held that verdicts could be
won without eloquence, and he proved
it many time in his own career. His
skill in turning a failure into success
was wonderful. In breach of promise
case the defendant, Scarlett's client,
was alleged to have been cajoled into
an engagement by the plaintiffs moth
er. She was witness in behalf of her
daughter and completely baffied Scar
lett, who cross examined her. But in
his argument he exhibited his tact by
this happy stroke of advocacy: "You
saw, gentlemen Of the jury, that l was
but child in her hands. What must
my client have been?"

Tobacco In America.

Caricaturists in depicting German

in his mouth. The pipe is national in
deed, but the Germans as a nation are
far from being the greatest smokers.
They do not smoke more than French
men, Russians, Swedes or Hungarians.
The men Of the United States and the
men of Switzerland are the most I'D

these two countries the consumption
of tobacco per head is three times
greater than in Germany.

Era of the olymptads.

The ''era of the Olympiads," or the
"Olympian era,' began July 1, B. c.
776. An Olympiad was a period of
four years, the games being celebrated
every fourth year. When it was first
proposed to use the Olympian era the
earliest record that could be found was
that of the victory of Choroebus, who
won the great foot race long before
horse racing and chariot racing were
introduced. His victory was taken as
the starting point of the Olympiads.
