JUDGE cHEAoLE's AMBITION.

The announcement made by Judge
E. X. Cheadle in last weeks issue Of
the Argus that he is a candidate for
nomination on the Republican ticket
for associate justice of the supreme
court of the state will occasion no
surprise among his many friends in
this county, as it has been known
for months that the Judge has enter
tanned this very laudable ambition.
In his nearly six years of service
on the bench of the Tenth judicial
district Judge Cheadle has made a
most enviable record as a trial judge,
being ever actuated by a high sense
of justice and duty.
While the people of Fergus county
would take a just pride in the eleva-
ton of Judge Cheadle to the supreme
bench of the state they would regard
his loss from the local bench as one
almost irreparable.
Learned in the law. a ripe scholar
and a gifted orator, Judge Cheadle
has gained state reputation and his
own personal ambition is supplemented
by the desire of many friends through
out the state that he become candi-
date for associate justice.
But as highly honored as Judge
Cheadle would feel in receiving the
nomination he will not resort to any
thing unbecoming the high office to
secure it. Speaking of others who
have been mentioned in connection
with the place, he says:
Il am satisfied that they are fully
worthy of the honor, and if the Re
publican party considers either more
available or better candidate, for any
reason. for this position, than myself, |
there will be no jealousy on my part.
| have frankly said | should like the
and to that extent am a
| have made no combi-
nations, and shall not do any wire
pulling TO secure it. but if the nominal
ton comes to me | shall be pleased
to accept it,
The nomination Of Judge Cheadle
would not only prove a handsome rec
ognition of eastern and central Mon
tana. but also the merits of jurist
who would prove an ornament and a
credit to the supreme bench of the
state.

Great Falls Postoffice.
Great Falls, Aug. 3O.-E. H. Cooney,
editor of the Great Falls Leader, to-
day received from Washington his
commission as postmaster of Great
Falls for the term of four years from
the date OF his qualification. He will
furnish the required bond at once
and will probably take charge of the
office within three weeks. Mr.. Coon
ey will succeed Herbert o. Chowen,
whose second term would have ex-
pired March 4 next. Because of bus
mess connections that require his alb
sence from the city for great part
of the time, Mr.. Chowen recently
rendered his resignation, which was
accepted, and Mr.. Cooney applied for
the position. The application was in.
dorsed by Representative Dixon and
was made on his recommendation,
coming as surprise to the local pub
lie. Mr.. Cooney not having been re-
quired to furnish any local indorse-
ment.

Minneapolis Journal states the facts

Democrats in several counties hav-
ing raised the point as to the consti-

Chairman Mantle, of the Republican
state central committee, urges that
Republicans in counties having adopt
ed the primary law hold conventions
following the primary elections on
September 4th and re-nominate the
candidates named at the primaries
This course will prevent all possibility
of invalidating the election in such
counties. in case the law should be

While the Illinois Democrats. in
state convention. endorsed w. J. Bry-
an for president. they refused his de-
mand to turn down State Committee
man Roger Sullivan, by vote of l..
OBS to $40. This was a singing re-
buke for Mr.. Bryan's insolence in
butting in when his advice was not
wanted. His apparent courage in not
caring for the support of Illinois is
predicated on the fact that he could
not hope for the electoral vote of the
state in case of his nomination for the
presidency
