OPPOSITION DEVELOPS IN CONVEN
TION, BUT is SQUELCHED.
DARBY IS TURNED DOWN HARD
No Representative on Ticket South of
Hamilton, Though Three Men Are
Narned---Donlan for Governor.

The republicans of Rava1li county
met Monday at the court house in
Hamilton, placed county ticket in
the field and sent a delegation to the
state convention to be held at Helena
Thursday that is unanimously in fav.
or of yhe nomination of Donlon for
governor.
The ,7rangling of the factions that
has been in evidence for several weeks
past had led to the expectation that a
lively struggle would be witnessed at
this convention, and of the 102 dele
gates elected % were present either
in person or by His alternate.
But the leaders, Plummer, Baker,
Baggs, O'Hara and Bean, had gotten
together and the slate agreed upon
went through without single crack.
The element that resented interfer.
ence on the part of federal Office hold
ers, which they facetiously styled
"Coneism' and the elements that were
going TO ''clean out the court house,
ana nave an dntl-Saloon plank lncOr-
porated in the platfor N, were all turn
ed down, the machine meanwhile
working like a charm and never slip

The convention was called to order
by c. M. Johnson, chairman of the
central committees B. F. Plummer of
Stevensville was chosen temporary
chairman and w. c. Harlan secretary.
This organization was afterward
made permanent with the addition of

Convention Notes.
Former Commissioner J. B. Over
turf, who was defeated for represen-
tative, upon placing F. B. Tanner in
nomination for assessor, referred with
considerable feeling to the fact that
there was no representative on the
county ticket south of Hamilton.
"Our town was burned out and it looks
like you want to burn us off the map
completely" he exclaimed. There
upon the convention calmly pro-
ceeded to turn down Tanner.
The upper valley has no repre-
sentative on the ticket, Holt of
Grantsdale and Tanner and Overturf
of Darby all having been turned down.
Tanners friends are bitterly disap-
pointed, claiming that their favorite
was beaten by unfair means. Many
of both parties tried to persuade him
to run independently, but he has
steadfastly refused, simply saying
that he will abide by the act of the
convention.
Immediately following the an
nouncement of Marvin's election as
candidate for treasurer Chairman
Plummer brought up the matter Of
