THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE.

HE GALE OF lne
When Mr.. Esseltyn heard that he had
been nominated for the Office Of state
treasurer, he was dumfounded. He
had Just resigned as register Of the
United States Land Office and had
accepted a lucrative position with one
Of the largest coal companies in the
state. He had decided to retire from
politics.
Then the news was flashed over the
wire that he was the unanimous
choice Of the Republican party Of the
state for one OF the most important
Offices within the gift Of the people.
He was SO overwhelmed with u
prise that at first he would not credit
the report. It was not until he had
seen the dispatch that he could be
lieve it. Then messages Of congratu
lation began to pour in upon him, an,
he realized that he had received cal
from his party-which he accepted
gracefully.
Truly, It wax a case OF the Office
seeking the man, for he was not q
candidate, and had not even been
discussed. His name came before the
convention spontaneously, and his
nomination followed as q natural con,
sequence.
Thus 1t was with nearly eveyr can
didate on the Republican ticket-tht
Office sought the man-not the mar
the office. The citizen received thu
mandate Of his party to step forward
and for the time being devote hi
energies to the welfare Of the pub
lie.
|, In the few cases where there wa
rivalry for the nomination, it was 0
, a friendly character, that increased
, the interest in the proceedings an
cemented and made stronger the tie
i that bind Republicans, one another
to the party Of progress and protet
tion.
The Republican convention was /
t every sense a convention Of the pei
pie, free from any outside influence
the evidence OF which is shown !
the nomination Of such a man a
3. 3. Esseltyn, and other prominer
i citizens, who have been called frol
business to public life, not becaus
they wanted the Office, but becaus
the people want them.

Judge Goss. He has lived in Billings
for the past twenty-six years. coming
here IN advance Of the railway. In the

ablest and most conservative attor-
neys In Montana. He has q mind
trained by long years Of honorable
practice before the bar Of the state,
and he Is splendidly equipped for the
position to which he has been nomi-
mated by his party.
The nomination was given without

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DOMAIN

s.True Blue was the motto which
imprinted upon the badges Of the
supporters of Edward Donlan for gov
ernor. The motto expresses the esti-
mate which Mr.. DOMAINS neigheors
have formed Of him; 1t sets forth the
dominant note Of the splendid record
that he has made in his business and
political life. Mr.. Donlan has been .
man Of performance; he has done
things and has done them we'll. The
Missoulian's opinion Of Mr.. DonlaIna Is
too we'll known to require repetition
here; it Is SUN cient to call attention
to the wonderfully good record that
he has made and to remind the people
lof Montana that he has always been
true to the confidence reposed IN him
and loyal to the interests OF the state.

the afternoon of October 9th. in
the Union Trust Building in Bal

various departments with refer
ence to the work they have done
since January and the amounts
expended.
Those submitting such reports,
which were in the main statistical,
were DR.. j. Marshall Price, secre
rary of the State Board of Health;
Chief Charles j. Fox of the Blu
reau of Statistics and Informa-
ton; DR.. j. Frank Hines of the
Bureau of Immigration; Chair.
man John M. Tucker of the Good

sion. Reports were also submitted

Horrible as are the conditions in
the Eastern Shore the State off
cials were not wholly nnprepared
for the showing made, the fact
that some of the counties there
not making adequate provisions
for the insane being known to
them, but they were disagreeably
surprised when a reproduction of
the interior of the Montevue Hos

DR.. Herring described some of the
quarters i'll the building as creek.
ing with filth and vermin." No
recreation grounds were provided
nor proper supervision exercised.
The negroes are huddled together
like so many beasts and are seated
on benches throughout the day.
Each report was referred to a
mem Der of the cabinet, and he will
in turn submit report to the full
body.
The next meeting will be held
in November.
