REPUBLICAN WORKER
COMES OUT STRONGLY
FOR THE N0N-PARTISANS

Clarence M. Taggart, Republican pre-
cinct committeeman for precinct No. 30,
yesterday sent the following letter to
the Republican city central committee:
Mr.. d. c. McGarvin, chairman of
the Republican city central committee.
Dear Sir: I herewith beg to tender
you, as chairman of the Republican
city central committee, my resignation
as precinct committeeman for precinct
No. 30. AS perhaps you do not know,
l accepted the position under protest,
having been favorable to the election
of Mr. Gates, non-partisan nominee for
mayor, even before the convention, and
/ worked strenuously for his nomina-
tion before that convention, but be-
lieving my duty as a Republican re-
quired me to act after having been
selected as precinct committeeman, l
have continued so up to the present
time, but 1 cannot and do not approve
of the manner in which the campaign
for DR.. Lindley is being carried on,
and especially do l take exception to
the attitude taken by the Times to-
ward him, and believing myself to be
out of sympathy with the Republican
ticket and it's candidate for mayor, 1
cannot, as man of honor, longer con-
tinue to act as your committeeman.
Il cannot support DIR. Lindley under
the circumstances and am sure that |
can be Of no further service to your
committee, and feeling impelled to sup
port Mr.. Gates, l do therefore place
my resignation In your hands to take
effect Immediately.
Il am a believer in the good old
doctrine of following the dictates of
your own conscience.
Il am sorry to be compelled at this
late date to take this step, but assure
you that, Notwithstanding my resigna-
tion, l shall not take advantage of
any information l have gained, or
mistreat the confidence which has been
bestowed upon me. / cannot support
Lindley and must support Gates.
Respectfully yours.

efforts to serve the citizens of that

that believe to be for its very best in

it is wise for me to make any specific
promises to any man or any body of

make. A man who cannot enter an Of

CROW INDIAN FAIR.
Montana Tribe Gives First Indian Fair
Ever Held I'm the West.

Billings, Mont, Oct. 22.-Visitors
and tourists in Butte, who never had
an opportunity Of seeing much OF the
western Indian on his native heath,
had their curiosity satisfied after a
visit to the Grow agency, 79 miles east
Of here, where the extensive tribe of
Crows is holding a fair. People have
come to the show from all parts of
this and the adjoining states.
The Crow Indians are probably the
only tribe in the United States enter
prising enough to get up and have
their fair grounds constructed on the
lines of other associations. Besides
an exhibition of all kinds of sports for
which the Indian is famous, there are
exhibits of livestock, poultry and
vegetables for which large prizes are
offered. No gambling of any kind is
allowed at the fair, and the first man
caught selling whisky to an Indian
will be very summarily dealth with.
