A LONG REIGN.

The Hon. Nicholas Longworth
proposed to 10000 American citizens
in Rock Island on Friday that Mr..
Taft should be made president of the
United States for the next eight years
and Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years
following Mr.. Taft's second term.
As Mr.. Longworth is President
Roosevelt's son-in-law his words are
accepted usually as semi-offcial for
the White House. This is the unfor-
tunate feature of his utterance in the
present instance.
The American people are not look.

most ardent admirers of MI. Roose.

Wdth some eight years of the presi
dercy behind him next March, ane
with eight years of Mr.. Taft before
him, Mr. Roosevelt, according to hi
son-in-law's ideas, would be able t.
celebrate on March "a, 1925, nearl,

The republican candidates for state
office have been making a tour OF
the state in special train. Every
thing was provided for the comfort
of Tom Carter, his lieutenant, Ed
Donlan, and the other boys. A special
train is a fine thing but it comes rath-
er high. But Donlan and Carter have
the money. Donlan is rich man.
There have been whisperings to the
effect that much of it was accumulated
at the expense of the government
over there on the government lumber
preserves. However, we are willing
to assume that he came by every
nickel of it legitimately. But that
does not quality him for the office OF
governor. If an ability to buy special
trains constituted a convincing argu-
ment for electing man governor, Ed
Norris is certainly out Of it tor he Is

haps, always will be.

Such a program is not one to be
announced just now, incredible and
impossible as it seems. Especially it
is not one to be announced from the
bosom of Mr.. Roosevelt's family
Good politics and good taste are both
against such utterances.
Aside from Mr.. Longworth's plain
assumption that Mr.. Tafts two terms
would not constitute even a substan-
tial terregnum-with which no rea
friend of Mr.. Taft can agree-suct
remarks regarding the institution of a
Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock.

republican candidate and the republi

The people of Lewistown have also
had an opportunity to see and hear
the rival candidates for congress, Mr.
Pray, republican, and Mr.. Thomas D.
Long, democrat. 1t is our firm be-
lief that Mr.. Long made infinitely
the better impression of the two.
Mr.. Pray's speech may be divided in
to two parts: The reading of his
congressional record and harangu-
ing about the panic of 49," Mr..
Long took up and discussed in a
mastery manner the living issues OF
the day. Mr.. Pray did not dare even
mention the great subject of the
guarantee of bank deposits Mr.. Long
explained that question fully and, we
believe, to the entire satisfaction OF
the big crowd present. Mr.. Pray
skillfully sidestepped the tariff issue
and Mr.. Long, in no equivocal terms
told where the democratic party
stands on that subject. Mr.. Pray was
silent as to the attitude of his party
and his party's candidate on the sub
ject of labor. Mr.. Long. showed tha,
the labor leaders, Gompers and Nit
ehell, were coldly turned down al
Chicago and warmly welcomed and
supported at Denver Mr. Pray said
that he will not vote for Joe Cannon
in the CAUCUS" Mr.. Long will no,
vote for Mr. Cannon or any man like
him either in the caucus or in the
representative hall. Mr.. Pray, while
here, said that Mr. Cannon has
"always been friend of Montana.

When Congressman Pray spoke in
this city ten days ago, there was
pasted in conspicuous places on the
stage some yellow circulars headed
Democracy and Labor" The object
was an abortive attempt to show tha,
the democratic party has been un-
friendly to the interests of the labor
ing man of this country. So great
was the love of the republican state
committee for the union printers o,
Montana, and there are hundreds OF
them in this state, that they had those
same yellow circulars printed. in a
cheap shop in Spokane instead of Civ,

to judge from what one hears about
the streets, Mr.. Donlan has suffered
greatly by comparison. Mr.. Donlar

The Argus is. whining about the
democrats indulging in mud sling
ing" campaign. People who remember
the sort OF campaign that the Argus
has conducted in past campaigns are
compelled to smile at this injured at
titude of our contemporary. But SO
far as mud singing is concerned, this
paper dehes the Argus to show where
anything pertaining to personalities
has ever appeared in the columes OF
this paper during the present cam
paign. So far as the circular, of which
the Argus complains, was gotten out,
as we understand, in plenty of time
for the republicans to refute it if it
is not true. If it is true, they have
no complaint to make. The truth
can hurt no one.

MR.. CARRIERS TUNNEL.

Anaconda Standards: If Senator
Carter's prediction is right we shall
go cropping, four years, through a
long, dripping tunnel, if Bryan is
elected. The trouble with the Mon
tana senator is that there are not
enough people of intelligence who
accept him as trustworthy political
prophet. The senator's moist rhetoric
does not dampen the ardor of Bryan's
supporters in Montana. Viewing the
situation from a point entirely out
side his tunnel, two practical cam
paign facts are as clear as sunlight
One of these is that when the cam
paign started Montana appeared to be
utterly lacking in enthusiasm, or the
semblance of it, for Taft. The sec
ond fact is that, with the election onl,
fortnight ahead Of us, there has no
been the slightest token of awaken
ing interest in the Taft candidacy
| anywhere within Montana's bound
aries. Even Senator Carter's ghos
stories about dripping tunnels do no
worry Bryan's Rocky Mountain

JOHN MITCHELL ON BRYAN.

Il sincerely believe that all honest
interests in this country, including
those of the workingman, would be
greatly benefited by the election Of
Bryan. Legitimate business and
honest wealth would have nothing to
fear in such an event.
"The platform on which Mr.. Bryan
stands fully recognizes the rights OF
organized labor and gives specific as
surances of legislation that will pro-
tect the rights and liberty of organ
lied labor. The platform on which
Mr.. Taft stands gives no such recog-
milton and no such assurances. Th.
issue, therefore, is clearly drawn and
that is the reason Mr.. Gompers and
the executive council Of the Am mericar

THE OLD SCARE.

Anaconda Standard: You will find
in Taft newspapers, in Chicago and
elsewhere, displayed announcements
that jobbers and manufacturers are
receiving orders which are Subject to
the election of Taft" with the added
information that it is the judgment of
merchants and bankers and business
men that "the industrial recuperation
of the United States depends upon
the election of William H. Taft.
1t is an old gag; it has done duty
for the republicans ever since Grants
terms in the white house. 1t is the
regular, quadrennial presidential-elec-
ton scare which always makes its ap
pearance on or about the twelfth day
of October. 1t was worked for Gar
field and Hayes and Harrison. 1t
failed to work once-that was when
Blaine was defeated 1t is in opera
ton this year. A Taft newspaper in
Chicago said last Monday: 1T was
disclosed yesterday that contracts TO,
large orders Of merchandise are being
made, contingent upon the election of
a republican president"
just about one-half of the citizens
of voting age in the United States
believe that this campaign talk is nom
sense. The half referred to includes
its proportion of bankers and mer-
chants and manufacturers. They
"don't scare worth a cent" they are
democrats who will vote for Bryan;
it can be said, therefore, that the
scare does not amount to a PROPOSE
tion which is an expression Of prevail
ing public opinion as to the future 81
the country's industrial interests
whichever way the election goes.
This republican heirloom is too old
and too frazzled to do stalwart SER
vice in this years campaign. Our own
\opinion is that the Taft managers
would have made it more attractive
had they recast it. For instance, they
might have adotped our Senator Car

merit of novelty. His prophecy !!

AFRAID OF THE LIGHT.

AH NALL ~ AAAG AASAA -
Commoner: Anticipating the pub
lication by the democrats of their
campaign fund, republican managers
sought to recover some lost ground.
They print the names Of two con-
tributor., Andrew Carnegie and Mrs.
Russell Sage and they announce that
they will make their contributions
public AFTER THE ELECTION.
An Associated Press dispatch tells
the story in this way:
"New York, Oct 9.-The fact that
Andrew Carnegie has contributed
$4,000 to the campaign fund OF the
republican cause was announced to-
day by State Chairman Woodruff. Mr..
Woodruff also announced that Mrs.
Russell Sage has contributed 81 900 to
the same fund There have been no
other large contributions from in
dividuals, Mr.. Woodruff said, but
small sums are coming in from var
ious sources George r. Sheldon
treasurer of the national committee
when asked about the contributions
saying that he would publish LIST
OF ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS
MADE TO THE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE AFTER ELEC-
TON"
If the republican managers are will
ing to make Carnegies contribution
public, why not give the names o.
other heavy contributors? The ex
planation is that Mr. Carnegie ha!
given away SO many libraries out o
the money which he has obtaine:
through undue favoritism' at tn,
hands of the government that tn
republican managers rely upon hi
popularity among the people to pre-
vent the fact of his contribution dc
ing injury.
But let it be remembered that Ar
drew Carnegie has good reason :

that Andrew Carnegie had offered t

magnate "has tried the patience {
