HITCHCOCK IS NOT
GETTING THE MONEY
CAMPAIGN MAN.
AYERS SAID TO BE BADLY
WORRIED.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Contributions
to the republican campaign fund are
so slow in coming in that it is COM
mon talk among we'll known men
high up in the party councils who are
to be met in Washington that the
fellows at the Eastern and Western
headquarters are beginning to
those who are counted upon to fork
over the cash. Nothing like it was
ever known before. In the two Nc
Kinley campaigns, it is recalled, Mark
Hanna did not have any trouble in
getting money, nor did Cortelyou in
1904 Just how many millions were
at Hanna's disposal, he and those as
sociated with him only knew They
had more than they wanted, and it
was used in every possible way to
present Bryan from winning enough
votes to carry the doubtful states. In
hose two campaigns, Hanna and COM
pany did not even have to go around
soliciting contributions. They came
in voluntarily, SO many of the now
complaining republicans assert.
Only $150,000 Collected.
A statement comes from New York
that not more than $l5O,OOO has been
collected by Hitchcock and Sheldon.
The understanding is that they ex-
pected by this time not less than halt
a million Before Taft's nomination
lit was just before congress adjourn
ed-a number of people declared here
that if the Roosevelt policies were to
be upheld by the republicans in this
contest and the nomination of Taft
was forced upon the republicans, the
campaign managers would have a
great deal of trouble in procuring
funds from favored interests" Il
would not be like the good old days
when Hanna was at the helm.
"Oh," said a prominent Taft advo-
cate, and others agreed with what he
said, I'VE can get all the money we
want. Why Charles P. Taft has con.
troll of millions, and in order to elect
Brother Bill he himself would see that
couple of millions were put out"
The story got about that Brother
Charles had about all he could stano
financially in helping big Brother Bill
get the Chicago nomination, for every
body knows knows that it cost lots
of money to run the headquarters and
entertain the Taft boomers during
convention week. What makes mos,
of the republican politicians uneasy is
that their party managers have used
money SO lavishly in former contests
and employed such an army of work
ers at rather high compensation that
these fellows expect it again this year
and if they are not literally paid they

No Vaccination.

We, the trustes of School District
No. 2, Township No. 9, speaking in
behalf of ourselves and parents of
children of school age, wish to pro-
test against the vaccination of school
children in this district, believing as
we do that vaccination in no way pre-,
vents or mitigates small pox, but, on
the other hand, believe that it is al
ways accompanied with danger by
polluting the blood with a virus that
is highly dangerous to life for the
following reasons:
lst. No man can prove that vacci-
nation ever prevented or mitigated a
case of small pox.
End. That no doctor can tell what
this virus is composed of, therefore,
is taking advantage of our children
by polluting their life blood with the
hlthest of puss poison for the sake

In the Vermont state elections, held
last Tuesday, the republicans carried
the state by the smallest majority
since 1892. An analysis Of the re-
turns shows that the republican vote
fell off 8 per cent while the demo-
cratic vote fell off but 2 per cent.
With the same percentage prevailing
all over the country next November,
Bryan and Kern will be elected by
enormous majorities.

sticking around the Inland Empire
for good many years and has made

here AS candidate for county
treasurer, he is going to make it dis
tressingly interesting for some un-
lucky republican. A better, cleaner,
more honest, raight-forward fellow
than Grant Robinson never lived and
his nomination for county treasurer is
a distinct credit to his party.
Men who have carried the chain
for Will Mclean, nominee for county
surveyor, say that if he can run at
the polls like he can walk across one
side of quarter section, there will
be nothing to it in November so far
as that office is considered. Will has
a pretty good sprinkling of acquaint-
ances all over Fergus county and
wherever he has an acquaintance, he
also has friend He deserves every
friend he has for he is square, up
standing fellow and one of the best
surveyors that ever carried transit
Everybody knows Mark. 1t is not
even necessary to give his last name.
With men, women and children, it's
just mark" Nobody has ever been
accused of addressing him as "Mr.
Kimball." For about twenty years,
Mark has been the little Sunshine of
Lewistown. It matters not how the
world wags, Mark is there with the
broad smile. He has likewise always
been Johnny n-the-spot wheneve,
there was something to be done 70,
Miss Democracy. He never asked
for an office in his life but the con
vention last Saturday sprung the
nomination for public administrator
on him and did not give him time to
refuse it. Mark our words, Mark will
be elected. 1,
Although the remuneration is COM
slight, the duties Of the
office of county coroner are highly
important. 1t has, for several years,
been the custom of both parties in
this county to select for that office
some reputable physician for this Of
fee. The democrats this year have
chosen DR.. T. H. Peasants, one of
the most popular physicians of Lew
istown. The nomination was made
without the slightest knowledge of
the doctor. Although not seeking the
place, he will make strong candidate
and his election insures a conscien-
tious performance Of the duties of
the position. W! . Ii T.,

1t is said that E. H. Hartman has
made his contribution to the republi-
car campaign fund 1t is also a GER
tainty that Mr.. Hartman did not
"divvy up with the idea that Taft
intends to carry out the policies of
Roosevelt. The people of this coun-

pounds. He generally rode. in gallop
and frequently with loose horse gallOp

horses in case the one he was riding
should give out.
In his day long sermons were the rule.
On one occasion it is said that he
preached SO long that all of his hearers

REAL statesmen.
Only the Man With Brains Succeeds
in Selling Goods.

IN 0elIluS 0OouS.
From Macey's Monthly.
Statesmen grade from the Say Name
ain't-he-terrible?" type to the suave gen.
tlemen of apparent leisure, who smoke
imported panatellas and hit only the high
places.
The gentleman behind the ribbon coun.
ter may be a salesman. and may be-not.
And yet there's room for a real sales
man. even behind the ribbon counter.
A salesman ought to know more about
the goods he is trying to sell than the man
he is trying to sell them to. He ought to
know how they are made and why they
are good.
He must actually be interested in his
line.
And he can't be interested in his line.
the clock and his pay envelope all at the
same time.
Actual knowledge and real earnestness
beat oratory and anecdote all hollow.
a real salesman goes after an order like
a bull pup after a bone. He doesn't know
whether he looks pretty or not.
And he doesn't care.
A real salesman is a man who comes in
with the orders, and who doesn't waste
the Old Mans time with thrilling narra-
tives of why it didn't happen.
Historical romance is not in the Old
Mans line.
Songs and dances rendered by statesmen
who didn't are the poorest sort of enter
tainment given on the business roof gar
den.
1t is a form of advertisement never Of
fered by the salesman who knows his line
and really works.
So many statesmen talk generaIities!
They know the prices without looking
and are proud of it.
But when 1t comes to real solid brass

The first rule for selling an article 10 to
know the article.
You must know it inside and out, at
every angle and from every point of

You must have chart of its points
worked out in your mind. carefully classi-
fled down to the last detail.
You must know the unanswerable argu-
ments, couple of sets of figures and a
handful of illustrations to enforce every
point
You must never stop studying your prod
uct. Every time you look at il hard you'll
see something new in 1t that's good. or
some new and telling way of driving an
advantage home in the mind of a pros
pective customer.
There's some good answer to every OBJ
lection. If you can only lay hold of tire
member that.
The second rule for selling an article is
to know all the objections to it and the
face a customer.
You must never let a customer spring an
objection that will take you by surprise
Whenever he throws out an objection,
your answer ought to go back to him as a
return ball rebounds into a boys hand
when he throws it at the sidewalk.

want to go half way to the goal of sue

You can't compromise on knowledge

hailed with appreciation by all travellers.
1t is instructed that where no suspicion
is entertained OF the smuggling of duti-
able articles or of the Introduction of
firearms or merchandise. the examination
of handbags, rugs and parcels may be
dispensed with, and only a selected por-
ton of the other baggage need be ex-
amned. Declaration forms will be issued
and each passenger will be asked simply
whether he has anything dutiable or for
sale in his possession. The direction, too,
is once more given that 1.-The utmost tact
and courtesy must be shown In every
case; the rights of the revenue must be
asserted, but no delay or unnecessary an

count to passengers" There is the fur
