There will be a clean sweep for
the Republican ticket In the northern
section of Yellowstone county," said.
H. B. Drum. who returned yesterday
from his ranch on the Upper Mussel:
shell near Painted Robe.
There is practically no Democratic
sentiment in U section Of the county
and the majorities returned for the
Republican ticket there will be enor.
nous. The boys onstthe ranches are
all shouting for Taft and. fisherman and
they will support the whole Republl-
can ticket from presidential electors
to constable.
Just before l came to Billings some
of the Democratic candidates in Fer.
gus county were in the Musselshell
country campaigning on the other side
Of the river, which is the boundary
line. / had an opportunity OF talking
t. them, knowing most Of them, and
they admitted to me that they were
very much discouraged, as their
chances Of election or the election OF
any Democrats in Fergus county this
year are very slim.
There has been a large increase In
population. but it is q population such
as vote the Republican ticket straight
all the time, SO when the returns from
northern Yellowstone county come in
don't look for many Democratic votes.
They will be mostly Republican"

home Of Edward Donlan, where he Is
regarded as one OF the greatest men

MY recent trip through Montana
has convinced me more than ever that
there is not the slightest doubt but
what the entire state Republican tick
ct and the local tickets in most Of the
counties will be successful on Novem-

the Republicans, the enormous attend

perched than ever on the Republican
roost with an entire roster OF Repub-

SALOONS MAY RESIST
DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED IN LI-
 CENSE RAISES.
These who Paid Licenses In Mid- Tear Had Advantage Over Oth- CTS Paying When Due
 Soda Trade.

The new license schedule adopted by the City Council promises to give City Attorney z. P. Mcintyre some work before the ides of November have come.
 Saloon keepers declared yesterday that the advanced license for the three months of this year would be con- tested and soda water dealers said frankly that the license against their business was prohibitive.
 Tt means" said one dealer in soft drinks, that there will he lot of soda fountains for sale In this town about October ist. The proposed H. cense Is prohibitlve and I do not be- lieve many of the dealers can afford to pay it's.
 The legal question that may he raised by the saloon keepers has to do with the fact that some liquor dealers have already paid their license up to January 1st by invitation from the city. The old license for liquor sell Ing was $401 year, running from October to october. The fact that prohibition becomes effective January ist left three months open. The City Council anxious to secure all revenue possible, has provided that for these three months the liquor men shall pay s225.
 Now the Council several months ago passed a resolution authorizing the City Clerk to offer inducements to the liquor men to pay their license in advance. Notices were sent to the saloon keepers in July that if they paid the money then their licenses would be continued to January 1st for S2O1. A number of the dealers took advantage of this offer and paid the money
 My license Is paid to January lst." said one liquor man yesterday, "and I want to see the city try to collect any more money from me for doing business. The Council will have a legal fight on its hands if it tries to do SO"
 Litigation was suggested by anothe CT liquor dealer who did not accept the offer of the Council
 "I have not paid my license further than October 1st," he said but propose to do business and I don't think the city can exact more license fees from me than are paid by my competitors. l doubt if the Council can discriminate between dealers in licenses. The fact that some dealers paid their fees in advance ought not to give them a legal advantage over others who were not willing to come to the relief of the city"
 Every business man touched by the raises In license expressed himself bit- terly. The consensus of opinion ap peared to be that the council does not promote the best interest of Montgom cry by advancing licenses to what some of the business men declared was the prohibitive point.

The Wholesome Annie.

ROchester POst- -ENpress.
 According to a Chinese proverb, a man may live forever if he will eat an apple every night. The Spaniards call the apple the golden" fruit. because of It's supposed curative properties and its wholesomeness- The Portugese call may be urged that Father Adam, the first authority on pomology, did not find the fruit conducive to unusual men, man. one of the leading apple growers of the country, the fruit has a tend <,ncy to prolong life. '-The way to eat .n apple is to eat 1t any way you like. just so you eat It." he asserts. ''When eaten raw the apple is conducive to health in many ways. There are cer- tain acids in apples that have cura- .- we effect on the stomach, stimulating
 e digestion, gently laxative. These same acids have a prophylactic effect on the teeth, gums and mouth general iy, destroying the animal organisms.
