MONTANA DEMOCRATS MEET
>ta'e Convention at Butte Will Re More
or Less Harmonious.

BUTTE Sept. 24.-Democrats from
all parts of Montana will NEE, in
butte tomorrow to nomina ate a state
TICKET and TO transact such other hnsi
ness as may come before a state con.
ven'lon. 1t straws tell which way the
vino blows, the convention promises
to De harmonious and more largely
attended than any in recent wears.
Almost 800 delegates will be entitled
10 seats, and so far as the chairman
OF the central committee knows. there
Is not a contest from any county.
The state convention will nomin ate
candld ates for congressman, and for
associate justice, choose a chairman of
the state central committee and adopt
a platform. Unless several dark
horses should gallop onto the track
a. the last moment, the race for the
places on the state ticket will be
quickly finished. Two candid ates are
mentioned for the nomin alton for rep.
resentative. I. j. Walsh of Lewis
and Clark county, judging by the
delegates who have thus far arrived 10
Butte, seems to have the inside track
Tor the place. |. &. Denny of Silver
O county is also a candid ate, and
Is making a determined effort TO land
the prize.
Judge j. 3. McClerran of Silver
county is prominently spoken of
as the party's candid ate for associate
justice. Judge J. NJ. Clements of
Lewis o Clark county has also been
spoken OF as a candida ate. Several
weeks ago be announced that he would
accept the nomination if rendered him.
out it Is understood that he has not
been working for the nomination. The
same may be said of the other recep.
tive candida tes for the honor. Judge
ID. +. Smith. Of Flathead, who was
the democratic candidate for chief
justice two years ago, has been men.
toned as a possible candid ate, as has
Judge Napton of Missoula and Judge
Frank Henry Of Park county. Judge
McClernan's friends are confident that
he will be nominated. II Mr.. Walsh
Is nominated for congressman, it is
certain that Judge Clements name
WILL not go before the convention. On
the other hand if MIR. Denny should
De nominated, Judge McClernan's
candidacy would be handicapped.
Judge McClernan's friends insist that |
Silver Bow county is entitled to the
Office OF associate justice and that he
Wall be nominated with practically no
opposition.

The first naming macnine.

There does not seem TO be much
doubt that the first bathing machine
was seen at Margate and that 1t was
the invention Of a worthy Quaker
named Beale who placed his hopeful
invention on the Margate beach In
1850. THE public are obliged to Ben
jamin Beale, one OF the people called
Quakers, for the invention" writes the
author of "a Short Description OF the
Isle Of Thanet." published in 1796.
But 1t was the cd story, the public be-
came grateful after the Inventor had
been ruined by his enterprise. His
successors had reaped the harvest.
Old Benjamin Beales widow could re-
member In her last days the first fam
lily that ever resorted to Margate for
the purpose of bathing being carried
into the sea in a covered cart. In 1903
Beale's machines were one Of the In
situations Of Margate Ii was alarm
ingly claimed for them that they may
be driven TO any depth into the sea by
careful guides. 1T. P.'s London Week
