ances of Success.

among those present.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Ryneal
Vice President James w. Barrick pre-
sided at the meeting.
Mr.. Ryneal and Mr. Robinson both
said to the company that now that the
demonstration movement had gone
this far they do not want to see it
turnout to be a failure and that the
proposition now had approval and
support.
The committee reported that they
were about $3.50 short of the amount
OF money required to make 1t a sue

committee confidently believe can be
done without much effort.
An acceptance was read from the

devote to the contest the time which
she desired and from that time it has
been a magnificent three cornered
race with all of the three popular
young ladies working hard.
Miss Deaton lead for the first six
or seven weeks but the second week
before the ballot box was closed,
Miss Dougherty polled $4,000 votes
and took first place. The same week,
Miss Stevens went to second place by
putting in over forty thousand votes.
Miss Deaton closed up several thou
sand on the last count and since that
time no one except the young ladies
themselves and one or two i'm.
mediate friends of each, knows what
has been done in the way of piling
up votes. The men in the Democrat
office are as much in the dark as any
outsider and the full extent of the
work done by the candidates will not
be realized until the judges conclude
their work tomorrow evening.
Will Be Magnificent Trip.
The trip which the Democrat Of
fers is certainly worthy the efforts
which the young ladies have pu,
forth. 1t means fifteen thousand
miles of travelling, the greater portion
on the waters of the peaceful Pacific
and on board one of the palatia
steamers which plies between thu

1t means a visit to that island
possession Of our country, Hawaii,
described by all tourists as one of
the beauty spots of the entire world.
Honolulu, that romantic city in mid
Pacific, the goal of thousands of
tourists, the joy of every visitor, will
be seen.
And then comes Japan, the land of
flowers, the home of one of the
oldest civilizations as we'll as the
home of the newest. Scenes of
wonderful interest for the young lady
from Fergus county will this trip
across the tight little island kingdom
produce. Century old pagodas, tenn
Piles built to the memory and in honor
of the priests and prophets who ruled
and were worshiped in the days be-
fore the great awakening. The quaint
customs, dress, languages, architecture
and dustries-these will be shown
the girl from Fergus.
Will Be Well Looked After.
The guest of the Democrat will be
given every attention. Mr.. and Mrs.
Milne who will chaperone the party
Of six Montana girls on the trip, are
vouched for by hundreds of travellers
who have been guided by them
through the Orient. They arrange
everything, checking baggage, buying
tickets, paying hotel bills-everything
and leaving the young lady from the
Inland Empire without worry or
bother, absolutely free to see every
point of interest which the long trip
holds forth.
Contest Absolutely Fair.
The rules announced when the
contest was begun made any unfair
ness absolutely impossible And right
here we desire to say that there has
never been suggestion of anything
other than fair play by any of the
candidates.
The books of the Democrat are
open to inspection and every ballot
cast, excepting those clipped from
the paper, and they form an incon-
siderate number, can be traced back.
Ne can tell who voted every yellow
coupon and if there is any doubt, that
person can be communicated with.
To see that every candidate should
get fair treatment, that has been the
policy of the Democrat throughout
and we believe that all three of the
candidates will say that this policy
has been lived up to.

Harlowton Incorporated.

Musselshell News: At the election
held on Saturday, 25th, the voters of
Harlowton expressed themselves as
being strongly in favor of incorpor-
alton of the town, the vote being 20
for and against. The vote is due
to this fact, according to an opinion
OF the attorney general, only those
voters whose names appeared on the
last registration list were qualified to
vote at this election.
1t is reasonable to believe that had
every voter in town been allowed to
vote that the result would have been
even a greater majority for incorpor-
alton
In the election of mayor and six
aldermen to be held after 80 days
publication, all voters here will be al
