1t is now apparent that the democrats,
while saving their energies for the final
big demonstrations Of the campaign,
have at no time been as idle as the re-
publican leaders in Ifavre came to be-
lieve. A systematic and untiring still
hunt for votes has been going on right
along since the democratic ticket was
placed in the field, and it is probable
that Chouteau county was never before
more thoroughly canvassed than it has
been by these candidates. Nearly all
of them are now in this city and each
processes thorough satisfaction with the
outlook in the county at Large. It Is
estimated by the campaign managers
that the election will mainly hinge on
the vote in Havre, not only because it
has the largest vote in the county, but
because conditions are largely changed
from what they were at the presidential

Mr. Dowen comes from Chinook and he
has done much toward the splendid up
building of his home city. That, Ia St
self, is, perhaps. the best record to
which any citizen could aspire, for the
individual who does not work for and
think for and plan for the growth
and Improvement Of the place where
friends and wife and BARNS reside is no
good as either citizen or man.
Mr.. Dowen, however. Is not bound by
his loyalty to his home city to ignore
his duty to his home county. He re-
alizes that whatever helps the greater
territory in a measure helps all spots in
1t. He stands. In other words. for a
"sqare DEAL" and that Is what every
community and every taxpayer In the
county will get so far as 1t may be in
his power to provide it in case Of his
election as a commissioner.
Mr.. Dowen was born in Ottawa county,
