George NJ. Canon has come out as
n nIs OF 60 hn ,i,,of ton, go,
county clerk and recorder on the
Democratic ticket He has not made
any particular fight for the nominal
ton, and will limit his efforts to go
ing before the convention tomorrow
end employing all honorable means on
the floor to secure the place. Charles
Meyersick, who has been in the field
as a candidate for a long time be-
lleves he has this nomination to
certainty.
The Socialists are keeping up their
lick throughout the county. and seem
to have a rather remarkable organic
alton in Fergus this fall. They are
represented in all the more important
precincts by locals and the energy
they are displaying has proved some
thing of a surprise. They may sue
coed in increasing their vote a little,
but they can hardly expect to cut
any important figure in section like
Fergus county. They are given full
credit for being very much in earnest
but their efforts are not likely to show
any substantial results. Much of their
activity Is due to the energetic meth
DDS and enthusiasm Of Herman Brown,
the state secretary. who resides in
this city and who is popular with ev-
eryone.
The Bozeman Chronicle in men,
tioning editorially the three candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for associate justice of the supreme
court, Judge Borquin, of Butte, Judge
Smith. of Helena. and Judge Cheadle,
of Lewistown, says: "Of these three
judges Judge Cheadle is probably bet
ter known in this part of the state
than either of the other two. He has
frequently presided over the district
court Of this county and his decisions
and judgments were always so fair
and impartial that he found favor with
, both the members of the bar and their
: clients. Off the bench he was one
of the most genial of men; a man

Senator Lee Mantle swept Silver
: Bow like hurricane at the primaries,
every delegate to the county conven-
ton being for him. Only in one pre-
: cinct in the county was a fight made
against him. and that was carried by
: the Mantle forces by vote of 121 to
81. The sixty delegates to the state
convention chosen at Butte yesterday
=, are all Mantle men.
The Fergus county delegation left
: this morning for the state convention
at Helena. those starting from Lewis
r town being l.. w. Eldridge, Frank E.
Smith, Edward Brassey, J. M.
! Vrooman. E. P. Chandler, John d.
;. Waite. Hal Gibson, William Medigar,
Samuel Phillips, Frank Day. r. Won
Tobel. Samuel Hurvitch, H. M. Rae,
+ Fred Warren, w. A. Hedges, William
McGlenning, and A. H. Lehman. 9th
/. ers will join the delegation along the
!, road. and Judge Cheadle will go to
= the capital city from Billings, so that
!. Fergus will. be represented by nearly
its full number of delegates-25.
J. Sam Hurvitch, of Gilt Edge, left for
|. Helena this morning. He wants it un-
e derstood that he is not sore because
e of his defeat in the convention last
4 Saturday, accepts the verdict with
: equanimity and is just as good a Re
S publican as ever. He says that all the
= delegates who promised him their sup
t port stayed with him to the end. and
d any statement that he charged bad
j. faith on the part of the delegates puts
:, him in false position.
