GEORGE CONFIDENT OF
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
State Chairman of Montana Has Trav-
eled Some and Is in Position to
e--Many Republicans
Are for Bryan

as he goes, and | do not mean to dis
parage him when l say he is not the
kind of man Montana wants for its
governor. The republicans themselves
admit his limitations when they refuse
to put him on the stump, well know
ing that if this frank policy were
adopted the people would quickly see
he is not fitted for the high position
to which he aspires.
Fair minded republicans concede
the defeat of Taft in Montana. Bryan
is stronger today than he was in 1896
and abuses of republican administra-
tions do not make Taft popular.
Republicans for Bryan.
There are thousands of republicans
in northern Montana who will vote for
Bryan because of the policy followed
by the last administration in the mat
ter of land laws, but instead of get
ting patents to their lands, are forced
to put up with the officiohsness of
| special land agents, travel long ways
to attend hearings, employ attorneys
and are put to much other expense and
, trouble, because of the policy followed
by the administration. Many of these
settlers should have secured title to
their lands months ago, but the cases
are still pending and are continued
from time to time at the whim of the
special agent. ~
IN other places in the state where
union labor is employed it is working,
strongly for Bryans election. Not only
has he always stood by the ranks of
labor, but the Denver convention Sc
cured the favor of union labor in a
body by its action in adopting verbatim
the anti-injunction plank which was
desired by union labor. ....
Taking everything into considera-
ton can see nothing which can make
me believe that the republican party
stands any show in Montana this
fall" q

able service for Montana in directing
the attention of the country to its
vast natural wealth.

to the late rains and floods last sprint
