FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

The board of county commissioners
chosen in each county this yaer will
be elected under a new constitutional
provision which was adopted at the
general election in 1902. The state
constitution provided that the term
of county commissioners should be
four years, but an amendment was
proposed and endorsed at the polls in
November, 1902, under which the coun-
ty commissioners who are elected this
year will hold office for six, four and
two years respectively, and at every
election thereafter one commissioner
will be chosen for a six-year term.
This change was considered desir-
able for the reason that it provided
for a new member of the board at
each BIENNIAL election, an arrangement
at all times two members who are ex-
perienced in the duties pertaining to
the office. The efficient performance
OF these official duties requires famil
iarity with county affairs that will
have been acquired by the holdover
members when the newly elected mem
bers takes part in the proceedings of
the board.
For the six-year term the Republ-
can nominee is Herbert P. Imislund,
gentleman who has been a resident
0f the he
years, during which time he has been
identified with the merchandising and
stock interests of the county, being To-
catel at Grass Range, in the eastern
part of the county. Mr. Imislund is
now a resident Of Lewistown, where
he will engage in business in a build
ing erected by himself in the near fu-
ture. He is a man of business capac.
ity and energy, as Well as Of integrity
and good habits. Mr.. Imislund is well
fitted for The duties of the office and
taxpayers should see that he is elect,
ed to the long term.
For the four-year term, William T.
Neill was wisely chosen for the place
Mr.. Neill is a member of the pres
ent board, where he has rendered the
county faithful and efficient service
during his tenure of office. He has
an extensive acquaintance throughout
the county and by his experience on
the board is familiar with the needs
OF every section. Mr.. Neill has made
conscientious and popular officer,
man whose integrity has never been
questioned by anyone in the perform
ance OF his duties. In electing Mr..
NELL the aim of the constitutional pro-
vision that there be a holdover mem
Der on the board, one familiar with the
proceedings and the affairs of the coun-
ty, would be fully met with.
For the two-year term, Mr.. John
Ross, OF Denton, is the candidate.
Mr.. Ross is one of the pioneers of the
county, and for years has been
heavy taxpayer. He is a man of ma
ture years and sound judgment, eau
uouS and conservative He is a wool
grower and has been successful in the
business. No man in this county
stands higher with his neighbors than
John Ross. If elected the voters of
the county will have made no mis-.
take.
Geographically speaking, the sever
al parts of the county will be well
represented in the men named above.
In road matters and other questions
coming before them all sections will
have due and just consideration, while
the general welfare Of the county will
be in safe and competent hands.

In MS last issue our contemporary
refers very mildly to Henry Rae's resi-.
dence in Fergus county. misstating the
facts as usual, to suit his own pur-
poses. Mr.. Rae has been a resident
OF Fergus county as long as either of
the candidates for the Legislature on
the Democratic ticket Like his oppo-
nent, B. c. White. he is president of
corporation. What is the difference
between being at the head of min
ing corporation and a wool growing
corporation? There can be good men
and bad men at the head of both. Is
not Mr.. Rae held in high regard by
those in his employ? Has he not been
found on the square with those with
whom he has had any dealings? Has
he not had as much legislative exper-
ience as his opponent? Are not the
Barnes-king and the Kendall mines
large corporations? Are they not
contributors to the prosperity of Fer
gus county? Henry Rae may not be
an orator. and especially one who
talks contrary to his convictions, but
he will make wideawake and &C.
tive legislator, one who will look after
all of the interests of Fergus county
If elected. Not only that, he will ex-
press the will of the voters of Fergus
county when he votes for either JOS
eph M. Dixon or Hon. Lee Mantle for
| United States senator.
-
| Congressman Dixon scored heavily
on T. j. Walsh in the Joint debate at
townsend when he said: "My friend
Walsh has asked you to vote for him
so that he may have a chance to vote
against Uncle Joe Cannon for speaker
of the house. He wants to elect in
his place John Sharp Williams from
Mississippi, state where labor unions
are not tolerated and children are
worked in the cotton mills from -
to IA hours day." Just at this time
reformers are giving their attention
to the cotton factories and mills of the
south in an effort to have laws passed
that will prohibit the employment of
children under 16 years of age. 1t has
been shown that in northern states
under Republican control this question
has been taken up vigorously and laws
passed to prevent this evil. For many
years the south profited by slave or
unpaid labor and now it tolerates the
next thing to it, if not something
worse. If elected to congress the first
vote cast by Mr.. Walsh would be for
John Sharp Williams, the present floor
man who represents more than any
other from that section a sentiment
that tolerates that crime against hui

Again we warn voters to be careful
about giving attention to canards and
roorbacks which are given momentum
at late hour in the campaign and
which cannot be punctured. Every.

Is the casting of the ballots in accor-
dance with the convictions reached
during the progress of the campaign

1t is said the Democrats are out for

weakness. No Republican should be
a party to anything of the kind. A

mainly.

The statement of our contemporary
that the Republicans or the Argus have
resorted to mud singing" in men
tioning the candidacy of Mr.. Ayers is
absolutely false. The Argus has dealt
only with Mr.. Ayers record as a pub
lie official, a fact which can be easily
proven by reference to our columns
since the campaign opened. AS
matter of fact he has been treated
with far greater courtesy than has
been extended to his opponent by the
Democrat. If any stories have been
circulated about Mr.. Ayers they are
the work of individuals in no way con-
nected with the party management,
which is composed of gentlemen who
would not stoop to such methods. The
Argus has endeavored to conduct a
clean campaign, free from PERSONAL
ties and abuse of any of the candi.
dates on the Democratic ticket and we
believe it will be the opinion of the
public that we have conformed to that
standard much closer than has our
contemporary, though often tempted
to reply in kind. Evidently our con-
temporary squirms at the revelations
OF facts, facts the publication of which
are perfectly legitimate and necessary
for the enlightenment of the public,

the so-called wave of radicalism; but
this radicalism in reality is public

Roosevelt's answer to the request of

found in his message to congress, in
which he suggested it would be wise
to accede to the will of the people,
and pass binding laws in regard to
railroad rates, restraining corpora

which they are unable to distribute to

present wide spread agitation for re.
