Horse Show association will be in
augurated here tomorrow on the

For a long time the people have
been demanding a change in the pro-
cedure of the courts so as to put an
end to decisions on technicalities, with
out regard to the merits of the case,
but the demand has not been needed
and the evil has grown worse to such
an extent that the national Bar Asso-
citation has admitted the necessity of
a change. Since the lawyers have
seconded the demand of the people,
we may reasonably hope that some
thing will be done.

Mr.. Debs, the Socialist candidate
for president, is making his campaign
in a special car, paid for by his ad

he not as much right to make his cam

other candidate? There are some
wealthy socialists and they have a
right to send their candidate around
in a special car if they want to spend
their money in that way.

in other words he infcrs that
Olson was nominated 10y mistake
Or by chance, and not by a major
ity of republican votes. He says
Olson is not capable, qualified or
fitted to take care of the auditors
office; he thinks the present in
cumbcnt is the only person cap
able to run that office, which he
says sis the most important office
in the county and it bchoovcs the
voters to know the sort of man
they give it to. This man Nell
son seems to have the county's in
tercsts (as we'll Us McGrcgor's) ut
heart. If he is sincere in his
statement in regard to the voters
knowing the man they elect to
this office, he should at once get
busy and give the voters McGrcg-
or's history since he came to Bill
ings county, including his Sentinel
Butte and Dickinson connections,
his actions while justice of the
peace, and also go into detail in
regard to some of his unofficial
actions in tho auditors office
The Medora parrots which Nelson
mentions, probably know more
about McGregort than Nelson does.
Parrots arc bad things to have
around when a man does things
that are not right; they are apt to
talk when they should keep quiet.
There arc u good many parrots
in Billings county, and they may
have something to say when it
