HOIY We Nav Help.

1t is one thing to ask God to help
US in our plans; it is quite another
thing to ask God how we can be help
ers in His plans. Every man is glad
to have Gods help; only now and
then Is found man whose first
thought is how he can help God.
What is your chief desire in your
morning prayers for the day? Your
honest answer to that question may
reveal to you your spirit and purpose
in life.-H. G. Trumbull.

Long Black Silk Coat Again.

They are going to wear separate
outer coat this year and this brings
in the long, loose, black silk coat,
which is going to be very fashionable.
1t should not be so loose that it hides
the figure, nor should it be so tight
as to draw, but it can be somewhat
fitted at the back and sides and the
front need not be quite perfectly
straight.

The entrance to the carnival grounds
will be a brilliantly illuminated affair

The entire grounds will be a blazing

Mr.. Hilger was greeted with an
plaus as he took the floor The gentle-
man was at his best and for fifteen
minutes held the closest attention OF
the large crowd present. He said that
II he was any judge Of a political con-
vention, the one assembled would
nominate ticket which would sweep
the county at the coming election.
Turning his attention to national
politics severely arraigned the present
republican administration, declaring
that the republican party has fostered
and built up the great trusts which
now threaten the very existence of our
government.
The praises Of this country have
been accorded President Roosevelt on
ly in those instances where he has ad-
vocated and assisted in the adoption
recognized democratic principles, said
the speaker.
Continuing, he said: 1.-TWO years
hence we will put in the presidential
chair the greatest man America ever
produced. the peerless leader Of de-
mocracy, William Jennings Bryan"
At the mention Of Bryan's name the
convention went wild. cheering for
several minutes.
B. c. White followed Mr.. Higer ard
| made a characteristic speech. There
are few better political speakers in
Montana than the gentleman from
Garneill and he was certainly at his
best on this occasion. His speech was
applar6ed almost continuously. "B
c." as he is known from one end of
the county to the other, is a campaign
orator of the sledge hammer variety
and when he lands on the republican
organization, there is some damage
done. Mr.. White said in part:
81 am glad to see so many of YOU
here TODAY. This occasion is in mark
ed contrast with the convention which
we held in this county years ago
where there were scarcely a handful
Of US to do the business. But that
handful has constantly increased,
many new members of the faith Icing
added to the faithful old guard until
today we can challenge our enemy 10

success at the polls
"A few days ago something happen
ed in the metropolis of our country
which has set going such enthusiasm
among democrats as was never be fore
known. Seven carloads of loyal dem
ocrats from Missouri. five carloads Of
democratic home folks from Nebraska
and hundreds of carloads of loyal DEM
ocrats from every other portion Of our
great country travelled all the way to

The further that Mr.. White went,
the better he became and the greater
the enthusiasm which he aroused.
John B. Ritch, the popular clerk of
the district court. was called upon by
the chairman and responded with a
neat little talk on general political
issues
Charles Easel, the young Kendall or
ator, also did himself proud when he
was called to the platform. He said
that II the old saying is true "As
Maine goes, so goes the Union." the
| recent result in the far eastern state
certainly indicate sweeping demo
cratic majority at the coming fall cleo
ton.
Mr.. Easel received a cordial hand at
the close Of his talk
Barney Bernier Of Kendall was the
next speaker. Mr.. Bernier is wit OF
no mean order and kept the crowd in
roar of laughter from the time he
started until he closed with one of the
best stories Of the day Democracy
has loyal supporter in Mr.. Berner
j. +. Wasson. the Gilt Edge attor-
ney. was next called upon ana made a
rafting fine talk on TIL local situation.
He said in part:
In my opinion, the ticket which you
| have to match is weak one. But
the convention today select the best
ticket possible to be found within the
ranks Of the party.
"Our friends, the republicans, still
show that they still have a decided
prediction for the corporation inter-
ests. They have placed al the head OF
their ticket a gentleman whose only
claim on the republican party for such
recognition is the fact that he repre-
sents, is the active head. in fact, of
one of the largest corporate organiza-
tions in Fergus county. This gentle
man, Mr. Rae is a personal friend of
mine; more than that, l am in his en-
ploy, but those things do not blind
me to the fact that he is not the man
for the people of Fergus county to se-
lect for their representative in the state
senate. Mr. Rae has yet to cast his
first vote the state of Montana. 1t
is impossible that he should know the
needs of Fergus county and yet more
impossible that h. should be in a po-
sition to kow how best to cast his
vote on the important subject OF Sc
lecting a United States senator"

If the feeling Of confidence which ex-

Gratis generally is an index of the way
things are going during the approach
ing campaign victory more complete
than ever before in the history of the
party in this county will perch upon
the democratic banner when the votes
are counted on the fourth of next No
vember.
All believe that the ticket Is as
srtong, and as good, clean bright and
able men can make it, and stronger,
in every instance than the ticket nam
ed by the republicans.
The convention was called to order
shortly before II o'clock Saturday
morning by Chairman F. F. MacGow-
an of the county central committee.
Mr.. MacGowan had Secretary DeKalb
of the same committee read the call
for a county convention, after which
he declared nominations for temporary
chairman in order.
N. ]. Littlejohn was nominated and
chosen by a unanimous vote. Upon
taking the chair, in few we'll chosen
words, he thanked the convention for
the honor and predicted a victory for
the ticket which was to be named be-
fore the day was closed.
E. M. Drinkard Of Cottonwood was
named as secretary, also by acclaim

Upon motion duly made and second
ed, committees of three each on per-

AS this concluded the work set apart
for the morning session. Chairman

vening time might be used to good ad-
vantage by hearing some democratic
speeches. This suggestion met with
instantaneous approvan anr David

One week from today, Lewistown
will be besieged by multitueds of
merrymakers from every section of
this graf county, for the gates of the
Lewistown carnival will swing wide
their portals for the entertainment of
the pleasure seeking crowds. Unless
all plans carry amiss the coming car

success, from every standpoint.
There is but one thing which can mar
the success of the big show and ex-

Lavish preparations have been made

frolic. Ever since the inception of the
idea of street fair in Lewistown.
much effective work has been done by

and the result is that when the 25th
of September comes along first class
entertainment in every respect will be
found. A continual round of mirth and
satisfaction to all who come the

sured.

Wasson said:
= nave been reading the speeches
delivered by the republican leaders in
the Maine campaign and cannot, for
the soul Of me- tell what their issue or
issues are. For the most part, they
say for us to stand up for Roosevelt.
All that Is commendabLe In the Roose
welt administration up to this time is
his adoption or certain democratic
principles. But his administration
has done other things. For instance.
a meat inspection bill has been pass
ed which will take $s,OO0OOO from the
national treasury for the purpose Of
inspecting meat which is shipped
abroad. 1t contains no provisions for
inspecting the meat which we Ameri-
cans eat
The time Is propituous for COM
plete democratic victory from one
end OF this broad country to the 9TH

that great movement for victory"

For earnestness, spontaneous and
sustained enthusiasm, no politictl con-
vention ever held in Fergus county
ever exceeded that of the democratic
party of which was held in the
court house last Saturday. Compar-
ing it to the exceedingly tame affair OF
the republicans held on the preceding
Saturday is like comparing a three
ring circus with the performance of
an organ grinder and his monkey.
Friday was one of the most disa-
greeable days ever seen in this part
of the county and it was greatly fear
ed that the attendance at the conven-
ton would be greatly reduced. Sat
urday itself was a bad enough day
and the roads We're we'll nigh impassi-
BILE in all directions, but such is the
spirit of democracy in the redeemed
Inland Empire that dozens of dele
gates braved the unpleasantness of
the elements, many coming through
