Fergus County Democrat., 1906-09-18

cratic convention held in this city last |
week that never has there been more
successful political gathering in the
county. The utmost harmony marked
every proceeding and the results OF the
work Of the convention are such as to
assure a sweeping victory for the en-
tire ticket at the polls next November.
The ticket has not solitary weak spot
For state senator. it was meet and
proper that such an old time democrat
as the Hon. B. c. White Of Garneill
should be honored. Mr.. White has been
a resident Of Fergus county for many
years and has always been recognized
as one of the first citizens of the coun-
ty in intelligence, acquaintanceship
and personal popularity
For several years Mr.. White was in
the active practice Of law and won an
enviable reputation as a barrister. He,
several years ago, forsook Blackstone
for a band of sheep and is one Of the
most successful woolgrowers in central
Montana. He has been sheep commits
sioner for Fergus county for two years
past and has performed the duties Of
that office in a painstaking and most
satisfactory manner.
B. c. White has been untiring in his
devotion to the cause of democracy.
Year in and year out he has Travelled
over the county preaching the doctrine
of Jefferson. Many times he knew that
the fight was hopeless but that did not
deter him from everlastingly hammer
ing away at the republicans.
"A big man is B. c. White. He has
been a resident of Fergus county long
enough to keenly be awake to our leg
islative needs. If sent to the state SEN
ate he must inevitably become one OF
the leaders of that body much to the
best welfare of Fergus county.
For the legislature, Charles Easel
and H. L. DeKalb were named by the
convention Both selections are most
happy. Both are young men, bright,
honest and ambitious.
Charles Easel has been resident of
Kendall for about five years past and Is
in the big camp.
He is a worker in the truest sense Of
the word. Hardly shift has he miss
ed from mine, mill or bookkeepers desk
since his arrival in the North Moccasin
metropolis Promotion has come to
him by virtue Of his abilities and rec
ognized honesty.
He has made deep study Of econom-
ic affairs and is in position to do
splendid work as a legislator. typi-
cal young American is Charles Easel,
Industrious, mentally and physically;
upright in every fiber and he will be q
source of pride to the people of Fergus
county if they honor him with an elec-
tion to the states assembly.
Some four years ago a young fellow
entered the law Office of COrt & Word.

self opened law Office, he commenced
to attract attention and today there is
not better or more favorably known
young man in Fergus county than H
L. DeKalb. He has made good in
good old western fashion and if present

to come.
In the first place, Leonard DeKalb il
made of the right sort of stuff. H
knows no such a thing as fail and tn
unusual success which he has achieves
in his profession in less than thre
short years is due solely to his bull do
determination to do things worth Will

AS city clerk of Lewistown for over
year, he was complete success. A
city attorney, his advice has alway
been found to be sound.
And too, he is as sound morally as h
is intellectually. A graduate of one c
the best universities of the west, M
DeKalb has supplemented the know

The convention was particularly TO
tunate in the selection of candidate
for county commissioner.
For the six-year term there was cho
