We submit to the calm Judgment OF
our fellow citizens, with abiding faith
in their common sense and their desire
to do what is manly and fair for all, that
the present prohibition agitation is
a menace to business interests.
A blow aimed at the growth and ad-
vancement of this whole locality.
An attack upon the liberty of the
individual.
A misdirected effort to correct abuses
which the laws heretofore existing are
ample to correct if they are properly
enforced.
Declaration OF Principles.
Saloons being public places of gen.
eral resort, should be under strict con-
troll, supervision and regulation, and
we favor such, and insist that all i'm
moral and illegal accessories of the sa-
loon business be absolutely divorced
therefrom
We do not believe that a majority of
men, no matter how great, have the
moral right to force upon n minority
preston and tyranny, and in the de-
struction of liberty and property.
We believe in the greatest personal
liberty consistent with public good, and
| that the public good does not and
should not require men to sacrifice their
individuality, or their business and
property interests. through restrictive
We believe that '1ife liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness" as declared by
lment, belong by right TO ali our people,
and that upon the maintaining of our
civil, religious and political liberties
rests the future security, progress and
prosperity of the government
We believe that true liberty consists
in the privilege of enjoying ones own
rights. not in the destruction of the
rights of others.
we believe that equal and exact
justice to all. special privileges to
none" should be the basis of all law

Believing that benefits from the ap-
plication of the principles herein de-
fined can be more readily obtained and
retained through wise and conservative
Legislation, where such Legislation ia
now lacking, we hereby pledge our sup
port to measures and men that sustain
such principles and we call upon all
citizens who have at heart the future

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR CON.
GRESS TO VISIT VALLEY
The YOUNG man Eloquent
He Is Pronounced by Members of Both
Parties AS Most Effective Speaker
in the Present Campaign.

State Senator Thomas D. Long of
Flathead county, democratic nomire
for congress, will visit Ravatii county
tomorrow, {Thursday), and cover it in
a most effective way. He will SPEAK
at Darby at 1880 m., at Hamilton at
$50 p. fn,, at Victor at 6 p. IN, and at
Stevensville at s p. III. The Hamilton
Cornet band will so to Darby to pro-
vide music for the rally there and also
play at the Hamilton rally. The Vic.
tor Concert band will provide music
for the meetings at Victor and Stew
ensvile.
"Tusn" Long. as ne is known to
everybody, is the most eloqvcnt speak
er at present engaged in the Montana
campaign. He is STYLED the "youug
man eloquent Although a demo
crat, he was chosen by the Joint as
sembly at the last republican Iegisla-
ture to speak when the I,onor of cleo
ton to the u. S. senate was conferred
upon Joseph M. Dixon. Those who
heard him say his speech was q bril-
liant effort. When Bryan addressed
the legislature, Long, the orator, was
selected to make the response, Char
les N. Pray. the republican nominee
for congress, is afraid 20 debate with
Long, and has twice refused 20 meet
him on the stump. This is a confes-
sion of weakness on Pray's part, for
he knows he is no ruatcla for the teae1
ocratic nominee.
Hamilton people, without regard to
politics, who enjoy hearing an excel
lent speaker should gather at the
opera house tomorrow afternoon at }
O'Clock.

THREE WOMEN NARROWLY ES-
CAPE INSTANT DEATH
SIX STICKS DYNAMITE IGN|TED
Placed in Oven Of Range While Women
Work About Stove, Uncon-
scious of Danger.

Working about the kitchen uncon-
scious Of danger, Mrs. p. May, Miss
Til1ie Renaker and Mrs. B. T. Heavlin
had an almost miraculous escape from
death as the result of an explosion of
dynamite IN the hotel at Sleeping
Child apfings Friday afternoon about
Q O'Clock.
The dynamite, six sticks in number, !,
had been placed in the oven of the
range by Mr.. Heavlin to dry. The
women had no knowledge of their
proximity to the powerful explosive,
and, as they were engaged in cooking
the MONDAY meal, the heat of the
stove soon ignited the dynamite
Mrs. May was severely scalded about
the aruls and body by water from the
reservoir of the range. Miss Renaker
was struck by a piece of flying steel,
the missile nearly severing the jugu-
lar vein. She was the most seriously
injured. Mrs. Heavilin was simply
stunned by the terrific force of the
SconCuSSlOu. DrS, Brethour ana Au-
derson were summoned to Sleeping
Child Monday and they report that all
the ladies will speedily recover, pro-
vided no unforeseen complications
arise. The patients will be brought
to Hamilton for attention as soon as
their condition permits of the arduous
trip.
The building, a log aud frame struc-
ture, was badly demolished. The
stove was of malleable steel, and was
curled into knot by the explosion.
Had it been Of cast iron, or had the
oven door been closed, the accident
would have terminated fatally for the
occupants of the house.

THEY GAVE ONE DOLLAR EACH

DR.. M. F. Guinon this week circu-
lated paper for dollar subscriptions
to the Bryan campaign fund and for
warded a nice sum to national head
quarters. No paper is ever circulat-
ed among the rank and file
of republicans for dollar subscrip-
tions, for contributions from the
trusts, like Mr.. Carnegie's $50, 900 do
nation the other day, take the burden
off the plain people who vote year
after year for the millionaire party.
Are you for Taft, whose party gets it's
campaign fund from the trusts and is
afraid to publish it, or for Bryan,
who asks the plain people to give one
dollar each, and then tells where
the money comes from?

word. Two years ago, when a candi-

interest therefor. 1t was a voluntary
promise--the first ever made in this
county. But he was defeated by A

A HANDSOME CALENDAR.


 The First National bank sent out Q timely and significant calendar, en- titled. Views of the Election" It is reproduced. by Color Photography from an original painting by E. L. Henry, pub blished by The Thomas D. Murphy Co.,, Red Oak, Iowa, U. s. A. There were no telephones or rural free de- liveries in those days. The old farmer in the rickety-looking buggy in the pie ture is just returning from town, big with news of the late election, and has paused to give an account of the same to couple of eager neighbors. From the expression of grim satisfac- tion upon the faces of the auditors, as they drink in the result in New York and the majority in Massachusetts. we may judge that the election has gone the right way and that the country is saved once more. The two jugs and the tin cup lying half concealed behind the fence would rather indicate that some trifing celebration may take place before the rural Mercury speeds or. his way to re-enact practically the same scene before the next farmhouse. It is a fine delineation of life in New England some forty years ago and is painted with the fidelity to correct de- tail that distinguishes all of MT Hen ry's work. E. L. Henry, possibly the most distinctly native and surely one of the most original ot American ar- lists, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 184l. A pupil of the Penn sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he subsequently, studied in Paris with Courbet and spent many years in the schools of Italy and England. Few men have a more innate feeling for character than has MT Henry, and with this he possesses the keenest sense of humor, which even in his more serious work it is impossible to disguise. The First National bank people are to be congratulated on their energy ana up- to-date methods.
