Whether or not full ticket will be

candidates, it is said, will be named
for county attorney, clerk of the
court, assessor, commissioner and in
other instances, even if a policy of
partial endorsement is adopted. Feel

Disaffected Republicans Endorse the
Plan---Prohibition Is Factor and

A third county ticket running on a
platform of law enforcement and pro-

Ravalli county voters this fall. A
mass convention of citizens from all

for the convention, which appears in

arrangement was reached by which SO
men, representing every precinct, will
sit in the convention as delegates.
The movement is an independent
one designed to WELD a definite ia
huence in the political campaign in
this county this fall. The object, as
announced by the leaders, is to de-
,mand the maintenance of law and
order, promote the cause of prohibition
and to defeat what they believe to be
the evident purpose of some republican
candidates for reelection to become
fixtures on the county payroll. A pc
tition circulated at Corvallis contains
the names of over rs men who have
agreed to stand together in the cam
