Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-10-16

He sees our flag floating on every sea
respected by every nation and gov
ernment recognized as the most pO-
tent force for peace. Is it any Won
der as the vision widens, as the pic
ture grows in magnificent beauty, as
he listens to the swelling anthems Of
happy people and the laundering
chorus of industry, that he grows ex-
ultant and proud of the fact that he
is a part of the Republican party?"
The strength of the Republican
county ticket grows more and more
apparent as the days go by, and the
more closely the ticket is scanned the
better is the impression it nakes up
on the voters. All that is necessary
to insure the election of every candl-
date upon it is for every Republican
voter to do his duty. The Democrats
have practically abandoned hope of
electing any of their legislative candi-
dates, and appear to be centering
their efforts now upon the board OF
county commissioners. julius Peter
sen, for some reason, is receiving lit
| tie attention at the hands of the Dom
ocratic bosses, while everything pos
| sibe is being done to boost Parent
/ and Malcolm at his expense. The Re-
publican nominees, Billy Nell, John
| Ross and Herb Imislun,l, are making
steady progress, however, and there
| is little doubt that any one OF the
three will be defeated. X. ID. Baker,
the sturdy blacksmith candidate for
sheriff is winning friends and sup
porters right and left, and has proved
himself as good worker in CAM
paign as he is at the forge. Charley
Edwards, of Gilt Edge, the candidate
for assessor is also gaining strength,
and Frank Smith, candidate for coun-
ty attorney, looks like a sure winner.
Paul Smith, of Kendall is known as
, one of the most capable and deserving
young men in the county, and when
!, the office of clerk and recorder ls
turned over to him, it will be in
; charge of an industrious, sober and
obliging official. E. p Chandler will
be reelected by much larger ma
jority than was given him two years
. ago. While she does not hold people
: mp indiscriminately, demanding their
votes, Miss Newell, candidate for
q county superintendent, is neverthe-
= less forging ahead all the time. VOt-
q ers have different ideas as to meth
!, ods of campaigning. and Miss Newell's
y attitude appears to be meeting with
!, approval. Otto Wasmansdorff will, Of
:, course, be chosen again as surveyor,
: and DR.. Attix will have q great big
). majority for coroner. Edward Brassey's g
:. election as justice of the peace is GER
). tain, and S. w. Pennock, candidate
a for public administrator against A
:. Dahl, the Socialist-but what's tbs
+ use?
e The Democrats met with another
e frost at Utica Saturday evening. The
,- spell binders were able to assemble
u only 40 persons, including men, wonl-
s en- and children, to hear them, and
l. the only thing that seemed to please
e the audience was B. C. Whites warm
a tribute to President Roosevelt, ant
4. the endorsement of his policies. The
a agony was over at $3.50 and 10 min
l. utes later, no one would have suspect
[a ed that a rally had been held at Utici
s. that night.
