MAY NOT NOMINATE
TILL THIS EVENING
BY W. G. E. PRICE.

DENVER. July with the over
throw OF Col. James Guffey, OF Penn
sylvania and the completion OF the
work OF temporary organization last
night. the Democratic national con.
vention has a clear field for the real
work OF the convention and today, or
at most this evening. Will, in all hui
man probability, see the candidate for
the presidency named, the platform
adopted and the. candidate for vice
president selected and me convention
ready TO finish Its work and bid hos
pitable Denver eoodby.
Whatever hope there might be In
the minds OF the allies OF n possibility
OF defeating Bryan's nomination was
shattered by the great spontaneous
outburst OF enthusiasm which follow
ed Senator Cores mention OF Bryan's
name yesterday afternoon and tho
vote on the majority report OF the ere
dentials committee favorably to the
Guffey delegates last night.
When the name OF Bryan is placed
In nomination today, there Will be an
other demonstration for the Nebras
kan. but II will not approach the one
OF yesterday. The delegates used VI
too much enthusiasm on that occasion
To have sufficient energy left for an
other outbreak OF the same kind.
Majority Vote Analysed.
An analysis OF the majority vote Il
interesting II is to be presumed thai
every vote which could be mustered
against Bryan was cast for the minor
ity report, and yet II is certain that q
great many OF the votes II did receive
will be cast for the Lincoln leader
while Il is altogether probable thai
Gray and Johnson's combined vote
will fall far short OF half the votes
recorded for the Guffey men.
Of<the aye votes on the minority re

is 1T AN OVER SIGHT.

The Milwaukee railroad is adver-
Using the land along its right OF way
in eastern Montana, extensively
throughout the east. In glowing
terms its advertisements tell of the
wonderful resources of this district
and urge the people toscome to Mon
tana and take up government land.
The method of securing homesteads
is described and the reader is given
the information that filings can be
made in the land Office at LeWistown.
No mention is made Of the Billings
land office, where. most of the filings
would have to be made under the
rules of the interior. department.
While it Is not expected that the Mil
waukee railroad will boost any com
munities not along it's right Of way, it
should certainly be fair in the matter
and not wilfu1ly mislead intending
settlers into thinking that filings must
be made at the Lewistown Office alone
when as a matter of fact most Of the
filings on the land in this county,
which is open to settlement, will have
to be made at Billings.

UNITED ON TAFT.

The resignation of Frank H. Hitch
cock as assistant postmaster general
to become campaign manager for Sec
rotary Of War William. H, Taft in his
effort to secure the republican nomi-
nation for the presidency, can be tax.
en- as proof that the war horses Of the
republican party are backing Mr.. Taft
and that there will not be opposition
on the part of Secretary Cortelyou or
his conservative financial friends.
It has been but a short time since
Mr.. Hitchcock was accused Of using
his position in the postal service to
60 about the country and secure votes
that could be switched to MI. Cortel-
you, BY some he was. looked upon as
a promoter Of az ortelyoh boom.
The fact that he has given upLsa lu-
crrativie position 70 manage the cam r

be an assurance that much..ef the
talked of opposition TO Mr.. Taft In
the circles in which Secretary Cor.

The result 81 such g conclusion Is
apparent. There viii be thousands of
men leave the service of the govern
m1ent. The army and navy will be
depleted and the postal service will
ID robbed of some OF its most valued
employees and the eficiency Of 1t will
be affected. s$
It is: all right to economize but it
would seem that there are other ways
in which the congressman and sena-
tors could better retrench than In re-
'fusing to give the! llaborer proper com
tpensation for his hire. It is always
noticed, however, that when the gov
eminent commences to cut expenses
or refuses to increase them 1t is some
important branch Of the government
that is effected. The big leaks are
usually passed over. There are scores
OF them which could be stopped and
If they were stopped the employees OF
the government could be paid reason
able wages and the country would
not go into bankruptcy either.

PROFESSOR BROTHER.

The announcement that Professor
G. s. Brother, superintendent Of public
schools, is to leave Billings, will cause
regret among the people in general
and the parents Of children p~articu-
larly, though they will be glad ito.
learn that he goes to q. much better
position and one which offers him ex-
cellent chances for advancement. !
Professor Brother has been IN
charge Of the local school system for.
nearly seven years and has placed the
Billings schools on a par with the pub
lie school system in any other com
munity in the northwest. He has al
ways taken an active parl in the ad-
vancement Of the community and:
aided much in its material as well as
its intellectual development. The fact
that he is to leave is to be- regretted.
The Gazette joins with his many
friends in congratulating him on the
honor that has: been bestowed upon
him by the educators Of Mississippi.
His success IN Billings Is proof that
their confidence is well placed. and his
advancement in university work is to
be predicted.

A INSUFFICIENT.

| has been generally admitted that
the pay in the army and navy and
In the postal service of the govern
ment is insufficient, when the COS of
living and the pay given for similar
services in private vocations is con-
sidered. There has been a general
demand that congress take action
raising the pay in these branches Of
the government service. In anticipa-
ton of such an increase in pay many
men OF superior ability have re-
manned in the governments employ
and shoqld such increase be refused
thenAthey will seek employment with
Rpriyate corporations or individuals.
@s Despite this demand on the part Of
the people, who pay the running ex-

PROSPERITY IN BILLINGS.

one Of the best evidences Of the
remarkable prosperity which Billings
and Yellowstone county is enjoying is
the amount of real estate changing
hands. During the past week there
were recorded in the office Of the
county recorder nearly 80 transfers Of
real estate in this county. In some of
the deeds filed the price given is sew
eral hundred dollars, but in most of
them the consideration mentioned is
simply 81. That means the actual con-
sideration is kept secret. An inquiry
among real estate dealers, however,
reveals that the prices paid were
above the average and that the price
Of Billings real estate is on the in
rease This is a most unusual condi-
ton, when it is CONSIDERED that the re-
cent financial depression has sent the
price Of real estate down a toboggani
slide in nearly every community in
the country.
While these transfers represent; the
actual deciding Of property from one
person to another the larger portion
OF sales is what is known as monthly
payment sales. The purchaser pays
part down and agrees to pay the bal
ance in monthly installments and is
given a contract for a deed. There
has been an. unusually large amount
Of such sales in Billings recently.
That is an indication that working
people, men who work for salaries.
are buying homes.
It is safe to say that Yellowstone
county leads the country at the pres.
ent time in the number Of real estate
transfers when the population of the
community is considered. This. con.
dition demonstrates that the financial
depression has not struck here very
hard and that Billings prosperity is
Of the kind that lasts.

land and construct irrigation systems.
As it IL now many OF the settlers have
not sutlcient capital to secure water
needed To- cultivate the land. but +
they can enter into an arrangement
whereby they can mortgage the land
for sufacient to pay the government:
what is due it and pay for an irriga-
ton system, they will be able to i'm
prove their land much more rapidly
than II they are compelled to wait till
they secure absolute title.
It Is sincerely to be hoped that the
measure will be enacted into a law.
1t will prove q blessing to many set
tiers on the coded portion Of the res
ervatioln,,, and viii materially assist in
developing a wonderful country trib-
utary to Billings.

GIVE US "A DELEGATE.

There will be two conventions OF
the republicans OF Montana this year.
The first will meet within the next
few months for the. purpose Of selecs..
ing six delegates to attend the nat
ional convention in Chicago. Con-
siderable speculation has been in
dulged In as to who should be the
delegates: The Gazette suggests the
name OF Paul Mccormick Of Billings
for one.
IA glance over the official roster Of
the state falls to show any important
elective state Office held by a truly
Representative eastern Montanan. That
is. q man who is a resident of the
COW counties" Lewis and Clark
county, Powers county, Missoula
county, Gallitan county, Cascade u
u. Beaverhead county, Chouteau
county, all have representatives
among the elective officers within the
gift OF the. people of the state at
large; but not so with the counties Of
eastern Montana. Certainly eastern
:Montant IL entitled to something. 80
Why not put an eastern Montana man
on the delegation to the national re
publican convention.
The Gazette believes that there IL
not a more loyal republican in the
state than Mr.. Mccormick. He is
personally known to all the older
residents and many Of. the new com.
ers. His popularity is unquestioned.
His fitness to be q member Of the
Montana delegation cannot be denied.
He has spent nearly q half century III
assisting In the development Of this
great commonwealth and the common
wealth should not hesitate to do him
honor. So far as this paper knows
the matter has not been suggested to
Nj. Mccormick. but no doubt he would
be glad to accept the honor # offered
him.
So The Gazette says Let us SEND
Paul Mccormick, who Is one Of the
most representative Montanans, as q
member Of the delegation to the nat
ional convention. as representative
OF the most rapidly growing section
Of the state"

!; NO pEARTH OF CANDIDATES.
There is certainly no. dearth OF can
didates. for the nomination for the
presidency at the hands OF one OF the
two great political parties. While IN
the republican party Taft and Hughes
seem to lead. with Fairbanks. Foraker
and: Cannon following. and in the
democratic party William ]. Bryan
seems to have appropriated the. nomi-
nation they are not BY any means, the
only candidates. There are others. OF
whom we: read but little in the press,
that may prove formidable opponents
in one Of the coming conventions.
There are more announced republl-
can. candidates than democratic as
pirants. probably due to the TACT that
the republican nominee stands the bet

the possible republican candidates are
William T. Taft of Ohio, Charles e.
