Speaking of Messrs. Thompson and
Greene, Republican candidates for the
legislature. our contemporary appears
very much concerned because they are
not making a speaking tour of the
county. It is better not to talk at all
than to preach the gospel of discon
tent and advocate unsound economical
doctrines. The most glib of tongue
do not always make the best legis-
lators. In fact, not one-third of anv
legislative body is composed of men
who are ready in debate. The very
best legislators to be found are men
OF action instead of words. Men of
sound and mature judgment are the
kind to send to the legislature. Rufus
Thompson and A. c. Greene are such.
They will vote to send Republican
United States senator to Washington
to support President Roosevelt.

A REPUBLICAN SENATOR AND
CONGRESSMAN.

CONOR ESSmAN.
Voters should not be beguiled into
the belief that President Roosevelt
wants a Democratic senator and con-
gresham from Montana to support
him in the measures he will recon-
mend in his message TO congress.
While clean politician, the president
is one of the shrewdest in the nation.
He is we'll aware that on the eve of
q national election, while making some
pretentions of favoring the reforms
desired, the opposition as usual
would always be ready with
some panacea that would only be in
tended to excite opposition instead of
bringing about the desired result. This
would only prove an embarrassment
to the president. Dilatory tactics
would be pursued in the hope that
nothing Of credit would be accomplish
ed during the congress proceed
ing the election. Upon this
lack of achievement the Democ-
racy would make an issue for the
presidency and a congress two years
hence. Does any Republican want to
be party to such political scheme?
President Roosevelt wants to avert this
possibility and the voters of Montana
should be with him.
Then, again, what can Democratic
senator or congressman do for Mon
tana? What has Clark done worthy
of note? What did A. j. Campbell or
Caldwell Edwards do for the state?
Has not Congressman Dixon accom-
plished more than the whole bunch?
He was always able to get the speak
er's eye and get the ears of the men,
bers of the house when he wanted
something for his state, showing not
only his ability and energy, but the
advantage in being in harmony and in
touch with the administration.
The president is not longing for the
return Of Senator Clark, whose sym
he be delighted TO receive the help
of Joseph X. Toole after his veto Of
the railroad commission bill enacted
by the last legislature. Furthermore,
Governor Toole is free trader. He
is opposed to a tariff on wool and
lead. In a public speech he is said
to have made this declaration: Il
would rather be wrong and be with
my party than to be right and be
against it," His party, always in ia
vOr of free raw materials, would have
his support in any legislation along
that line, which would be detrimental
to the interests of Montana, as lead
and wool are important products. Mr.
Toole, also, owing to his strong party
fealty, would be obliged to stand with
his party in the horse play that would
be made to checkmate the president
in his fight against the trusts.
Montana should have another sena.
tor at Washington for whom no apol-
ogy is needed. a man who will stand
square-toed with the president in all
of his undertakings and who will be
found advocating protection for all of
our industries. You know where Con-
gresham Dixon or ex-senator Mantle
would be found without guess work or
speculation. One or the other of them
should be the next senator from Mor-
tana and Charles N. Pray should sue
coed Mr.. Dixon in the house of repre-
sentatives. The voters of Fergus
county will prove no small factor in
determining this matter. They should
settle it right by voting for Charles
N. Pray and Messrs Rae, Greene and
Thompson, Republican candidates for
the legislature.

1t is true that good party men have
but little use for man who bolts and
runs independently after being given
fair show in a political convention.
In the case of Mr.. Anderson his con-
tentlon Is, and he seems to substan-
tate 1t, that he had sufficient num-
Der of delegates pledged to him to in.
sure his nomination, but at the last
moment he was jobbed out of it by the
high bosses of the Democratic ring,
consisting of such men as Dave Hill
ger, b. G. White and N. ]. Littlejohn
When 1t comes to forming ring these
men are not novices at the business,
even it their work is coarse. If the
voters Of Fergus county are down on
rings here is a chance for them to
use their battle axe before it assumes
large proportions. 1t seems that Mr.
Anderson stood all right with the body
of the delegates but the bosses got
busy and sidetracked him at the very
last moment.

Mr. Walsh and other Democratic or
ators in referring to the fight made
by President Roosevelt in securing the
passage of the railroad rate bill, try
to make point by asserting that he
was opposed by the leaders Of the
Republican party" Supposing it were
true, does it not speak well for party
that has the moral courage and STAN
ana to defy it's leaders and take a
stand with the president? Such
party can be entrusted to work re-
forms. But how was it in the final
vote on the rate bill in the house and
senate. OF the 249 Republican mem
bers in the former body, how many
voted against the bill? If We remem-
Der correctly, only two, while in the
senate, Foraker, of Ohio opposed the
bill, as he explained, on constitution,
al grounds, while the votes of the Dem
ocratic senator's from Alabama,
Morgan and Pettus, were recorded
against the measure. There are no
men in the Republican party big
enough to successfully defy it's man.
dates. Where they attempt it they
become discredited leaders. In Theo-
dore Roosevelt is embodied the prin-
ciples, hopes and aspirations of the
great masses of the Republican party
He or the man who follows in his
footsteps, will be its chosen leader.
How is it with the Democracy? Did
it not desert Bryan at st. Louis two
years ago and bow in humble submits
sion to the plutocrats of Wall street,
represented by August Belmont and
John Sharp Williams? Now the party
is back to the worship of Bryan again
from one extreme to another, appar-
emily with no other governing motive
than the hope of winning the election.

/ Governor Toole will speak before a
i Lewistown audience tonight. He will
warm up; he will fairly foam. He
will shake his silvery locks in the Wig.
orous defense he will make for himself
in vetoing the railroad commission
bill. The Butte Evening News, indie
pendent, in recent editorial, has this
/ to say of his action: "Toole did what
the railroads wanted him to do when
he killed the bill. But in doing it he
branded himself with an indelible
brand. His realization of this doubt
less prompts him to try and tar the
Republicans with the same stick. The
wisest thing for Toole to do about this
veto business is to forget it. 1t takes
powerful sight of explaining and
Montana audiences are neither fools
nor children. They know that the Re-
publican legislature gave Montana an
effective weapon to fight the railroads:
that Toole took the weapon away af.
ter the legislature adjourned; that he
left the people defenseless, that now
Toole's own apology is that it was a
Republican weapon and that his Dem
ocratic conscience would not permit
him to stand for anything that did not
bear the Democratic brand. Toole
would be fine statesman to send
from Montana to the senate to aid the
Republican president in his fight
against the railroads."
