A FIZZlE IN.WhEAT,

After considerable explain alton and
exploitation, we areItold that Alaskan
wheat is q fizzle. OF course, that does
not mean that it is not wheat. Oh, no,
1t is still wheat-but 1t is a fzzle JUS,
the same. And in the process, a nun
Der of people have been frazzled.
This rural razzle dazzle al the
most alluring thing ever. It caught
mainly the agricultural portion OF
the country-and it made the city bred
man sick to think of the money he
could have made on the farm, sowing
Alaska wheat and then taking it
easy until the miller tried to beat
down the door to buy the product.
The press t%reated;the subject kindly,
and the photographers worked over
time on their end of the job, while
the engravers Reproduced the samples
for the beneftIof the .reading public,
which left nothing to bess aid, at least
on that portion OF the subject mon
opolized by thelpromoter.
And now comes one of those pesky
scientific men, who says that the
greatest yield of wheat ever known
was one hundred bushels to the acre,
that it does not and will not grow wild
that If man died, wheat would also,
for the lackiof guilty alton within three
years. Then he says that the Alaska
wheat he h~as:seen is badly mixed with
other grades, hat it is ''soft'' and
will not come up to the mark claimed
for it by the men who wrote about it
in fact, they didn't know what they
were writing about anyway. And
we'll a lot more.
Thus are fond hopes crushed to earth
and the ambitious man must go back
to his deskiand sslave until the next
dope book is placed on the market.
But the exploitation of the wheat
has doubtless been a good thing for
the ''discoverer," who, it Is said, is
getting twentysdollars a bushel for it
as seed wheat, and that beats raising
number oneshard in any other portion
OF the country .NOne.man offered him
twenty dollars for just one head of
(which Is evidence that all the f. u.
Makes have not cast themselves
adrift from their money yet.
1t is saidothat Alaska wheat will be
a thing of history within three years.
Perhaps that is true but the stern fact
will remain, that the "discoverer" re.
cognized Q good thing when he saw
it.-Billings Gazette.

Chouteau County Democrats.

The Chouteau county democratic
convention will be held Saturday
September 5, in this city, to choose
delegates to the state convention at
Anaconda, and nominate candidates
for county offices. 1t is said to be
the desire of some members of the
party to defer the latter part of the
program until the republican county
ticket has been named, but the con-
vention will probably complete its
business on the date for which it has
been called.
There appears to be a scarcity of
a%spirants for the nominations to be
made, and in most cases the Office will
seek the candidate. 1t Is understood
that l.. .. Hudson, the present county
treasurer, will be recognized as
worthy of u second term and will be
renominated. For sheriff, Charles
Crawford, of Havre, is said to be a
receptive candidate, and Attorney j.
X. Bramble, Of Havre, Is understood
to be willing to run for the Office of
county attorney. There are probably
a number Of receptive candidates for
other nominations, but the public has
not yet been appraised to that effect.
The county convention will probably
endorse the candid acy Of l.. Newman,
of Havre, who will seek nomination
by the democratic state convention as
q member Of the state railroad com.
mission.

POOLING THE PRODUCERS.

In the political campaign of 1896,
when Mr.. Bry an'first appeared before
the Americantpeople as q democratic
candidate for president, the farmers
and other producers OF raw materia
were advised THAT they were i'm.
poverished by the:gold standard. In
the present campaign, it is alleged by
MIR. Bryan.that the:producers of raw
material are ,getting rich too fast
that they belong to the forces OF
pred atory wealth.
This is not anjunfair statement OF
Mr.. Bryan's position twelve years
ago and now..i ut is Sustained by the
record and blythe! speeches delivered
by the Nebraskan duringlthe past few
days.
In a recent oratorical effort at Des
Moines, for instance, in which the
subject Of tariff irevison was dis.
cussed at considerable length, Mr..
Bryan committedlhimself to the prop.
osition that producers.ofiraw material
are getting anlextortionate price for
their products. Ks His position in re-
gard to this matter was defined in
these remarks:
"a reductionsof. the tariff will re-
duce the extortionsthat is now prac-
ticed becauseiof.thes.high schedules: a
reduction in sprice will enable more
people to buy, and this larger demand
for the goods swill'.put more people
to work and increase the number OF
industries. "A lowerHprice will greatly
stimulate expectation, and manufac.
turers who are now crippled by a
tariff upon what theytuse will be bet.
ter prepared to enter the contest for
supremacy in the.world's trade. We
cannot hope tolinvadeiforeign markets
to the extent we should, until We re-
lieve our manufacturers of the haudi.
cap that protection places upon them
in the purchase ofimaterials they have
to use."
1t Is perfectly plain, from this state
ment by Mr.. Bryan, that the democra.
tic idea of tariff revision is to reduce
the priceloflraw materials, in the pro.
duction OF which most of the western
states are1engaged. 1t is proposed to
cheaper thelcostjof such materials to
the manufacturer, . change which will
n~ecessitste the acceptance of q lower
price by the producer.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1908-09-02

The program of tariff revision out
lined by Mr.. Bry an is similar to that
followed in framing the Wilson bill,
which was enacted by a democratic
congress in 1894. The effect OF that
legislation is not yet forgotten by
citizens of Montana and other states
in which the production of raw ma.
terial was an important industry, and
they are not anxious for a repetition
of the experience. The business pa
ralysis and stagnation which afflicted
the country at that time was a practi-
cal demonstration of the alleged ad.
vantages TO be derived from the tariff
revision scheme advocated by Mr..
Bryan in hissDes Moines address.
The intimation that exports of AM
erican manufactures are made impos-
sible by the higher price paid to pro.
ducers of the raw material Is not sup
ported by official data relating to that
subject. For the fiscal year 1906, un-
der the operation of the Dingley law,
they have increased three.foId, CON-
pared with the volume of such exports
under the Wilson bill-an exhibit that
tells its own story.
In view of this record and his
past experience of the effect of former
democratic efforts in the tariff revi-
sion line, the producer of raw material
will not give enthusiastic support to a
which invites him to take ref.
uge in the poor house.

he is a candidate for the Republican

"As a lifelong Republican and one

bility connected with the office n l
know that he who seeks the office must
be prepared and fully equipped to as
sumo the responsibility. To this end
my career as a member of the General
Assembly of the State of New Jersey
and as a business man in the city OF
Newark is open to investigation.
1T is a duty of American citizenship
that a man shall faithfully interpret
the will of the voters of his community
as expressed on the statute DOCKS,
should he be selected to represent them
in public Office, and this pledge I make.
"As a Republican I appeal to Repub-
licans, recognizing no factional differ

and primary day put before the great
jury of voters in Essex County my
claim for their support. If a majority
of the voters in the Republican party
should select me as their candidate I

party ticket; however, If when the
ballots are counted, 1t should be that
another has been selected by our party
as its representative in the contest

married June IA, 1904, by a justice OF
the peace in Morris County, following
an elopement that caused a sensation.
They lived together but a short time,
n suit for annulment was filed by
the husband. The fact that a new
clause in the divorce law is not binding,
is all hat saved Mrs. Williams's mar

be considered married in court.

Candidates Meet by Accident
After Senator's Threat to Bolt
+ if Opponent Doesn't Talk.

In two campaign meetings attended
by a total of ~ninety-three persons
counting the campaigners twice. Sena-
tor Everett Colby. who seeks the re-
nomination of the Republican party,
threatened to bolt the Republican
ticket at the election If he should be
defeated at the primaries. unless First
Assistant Prosecutor Thomas l.. Ray
niond. his opponent for the nomination,
nswer certain questions.
After making his speeches, Senator
Colby went to the Essex Club, where
by purest accident he met Mr.. Ray
mond.
Twill you meet me and debate the
issues of the campaign" asked Mr..
Colby.
Not unless I change my mind"
answered Mr.. Raymond.
He and his rival talked for some time.
The assistant prosecutor said he pro-
posed to have something to say about
campaign issues latter on. but would
not answer Colby's questions as to
where his campaign funds came from.
He told Colby that he considered 1t
unfair to be asked such a question n
reminded him hat his own source "f
campaign funds had never been made
publjc. There was no use In such
q~uizzes, Raymond declared.
One of Colby's meetings was held at
1858 Belleville avenue, and was
by the New Idea Republican I'll OF
the Eighth Ward. Fifty-three men
were present at this meeting. The
other was held at 10 Elizabeth avenue,
where forty men listened to the
speeches.
"If Judge Raymond doesn't come out
and tell where he stands on these ques-
lions; IL he attempts to gumshoe
through this campaign; II he uses the
money of Others for his campaign ex-
penses without telling where he gets
it-then I'll help defeat him at the cleo
ton If he beats me at the primaries
Senator Colby declared.
At the Belleville avenue meeting
Colby asked repeatedly: Where does
Mr.. Raymond's campaign fund come
from" but at the same time he neg
lected to cay where he received his
own. He also said that Mr.. Raymond
Is better qualified TO fill the office OF
State Senator than himself, because ne
is a better lawyer, and because ne
knows the needs of Newark. IF he Will
promise to support the measures for
which we have been fighting for the
past three years, then ] say he will
make a better Senator than l." de-
clared the speaker.
Senator Colby leaves late this after
n oon for Chautauqua, where he VIII
deliver an address tomorrow morning.
He spent a short time with Governor
Fort at Sea Girt early today.

The colonel has said he didn't want
to be a candidate for sheriff, but it is
believed he will enter the primary race.
