That sturdy old pioneer, John Ross
of Denton, is highly spoken of by
every one who knows him. He is the
two-year term nominee for county
commissioner on the Republican tick.
ct. He comes from region heretofore
unrepresented on the board. Mr.. Ross
has never sought or held Office in the
county, and the nomination was given
him unsolicited. He is a careful, con-
sentative man, one who has been sue.
cessful in his own business. He is
man of high character and the strict.
est integrity. He should be elected by
an overwhelming majority.

In reviewing the work of the last
session of congress President Roose-
welt gave expression to the following !:
I'm the session just closed the con-
sress has done more substantial work
for good than any congress has done
at any session since l became familiar
with public affairs" What the presi-
dent now most desires is a Republi-
can congress to aid him in continuing
the good work He is going to under
take much in the coming two years
and he will expect Republican SEN
ator and congressman from Montana
to aid him in his efforts.

EDWARD BRASSEY.
THE TRUE FRIEND OF LABOR.

1t has always been mystery how
laboring men can find anything in the
professions or achievements of tbs
Democratic party that entities it tc
their support. It's only accession tt
full power in the government for over
forty years was attended with disas
trous results to toiers. This admins.
tration under Grover Cleveland inaug.
urated the reign of want and famine
in land of plenty. Fully three mil
lions of laboring men were rendered
idle and helpless though willing and
anxious to work. Their wives and
children cried for bread and raimant
and the gaunt spectre of starvation
constantly stared them in the face.
They became objects Of charity upon
a generous people, the majority OF
whom, thank God, We're not RESPONSE
BILE in any way in bringing their de-
plorable condition about Hundreds
We're driven to poor houses, soup
houses, insane asylums and the slums
of degradation and vice. CoXie's
army took up the ceaseless tramp
throughout the land and invaded the
nations capital to protest against a
condition brought about through the
ascendenCy of the Democratic party
to power, with its threat of establish
ing the policy of free trade for thai
of the Republican policy of protection
to American industries
The Republican party had its very
birth in a protest against unpaid ia
Dor. Ii exalted labor and declared that
every man, regardless of color, shall
be worthy of his hire. 1t abolished
human slavery against the fiercest op
position of the Democratic party and
it's allies and for nearly half of a cen
fury it has been enacting laws for the
benefit of the toiling millions of this
nation. Through it's financial legisla
ton the wage-earner has always re
ceived full dollar, while his savings
and investments have been fully pro
tected. While wages have constantly
Increased the hours of labor have been
reduced. 1t would require columns OF
space to record the legislation enacted
in behalf of labor, directly and inii
rectly, by the Republican party
through national and state legislation
but it should suffice to call attention
to some of the important enactments
as follows:
The homesead law, passed by Re
publican congress and signed by All,
raham Lincoln.
The thirteenth amendment TO the
constitution which abolished slavery
Peonage-The act of abolshing thi;
kind of forced labor was passed by
the thirty-ninth congress when holh
houses were Republican, by a larea
majority, March 2, 1867.
The Coolie Trade-The legislation
prohibiting the coolie trade is the
work of the Republican party.
Immigration-The Republican part
has favored the American standard
of living. not only by abolishing con-
pulsory labor. but also by excluding
the products of the cheapest foreign
labor through protective tariffs and
by. restricting the, immigration OF un-

The infamous Tammany Hall or
ganization controlled the New York
Democratic state convention and made
William r. Hearst it's nominee for
governor. If elected he is likely to
sidetrack Mr.. Bryan as candidate
for the presidency. Thousands of Dem.
Ocrats in the Empire state will cast
their votes for Hughes, the Republican
nominee for governor.

The Catholic church of this state
suffers a severe loss in the death of
Rev. J. J. Callahan of Butte. He was
probably the ablest and most popular
priest OF that denomination and was
greatly loved by all of its members.
He was held in high esteem by all
who knew him in the great copper
city and the manifestation of sorrow
at his untimely death is not confined
to his church alone.

In reply to the statement made by
our contemporary that, Gin Butte they
do say that R. D. Baker, the Republi-
can candidate for sheriff, was Dem
ocrat of the simon pure, unadulteratcd
variety" Mr.. Baker says he never
voted the Democratic ticket in his
life He has always been a Republi-
can and even if he had not it would
not be strange that he is now consid-
ering that thousands of Democrats
throughout the country have left
the party in the past few years. Mr.
Bakers party loyalty will stand the
test with any of the nominees on the
Democratic ticket. R. D. Baker is a
good. clean man, the father of an in
teresting family. He has been a resi-
dent of Montana for the past eighteen
years and has made his home in Fer
gus county for four years or more.
When the voters come to know him
they cannot help but admit that he
would prove a good man in the sher-
ifs office.
