The searchlight. [volume] (Culbertson, Mont.) 1902-current, 1910-10-21

County never looked brighter for
republican Victory at the polls on
Nov. 9Th than it does at the pres
ent time.
The Republican candidates are
all tried men and true and all are
working hard for the whole ticket
as well as Tor the individual sup
port OF themselves. They have a
splendid organization in thier
county central committee, with {.
c. Beede, clerk OF courts, as chair
man, and j w. Wedum OF Glas-
Cow as secretary.
On the contrary, the old Demo
cratic organization, which had
such men as George Hurd, Trn-
scott and Coleman al the head, IS
all broken up and these old cam
paigners are taking no active part
IN the campaign this year. IL IS
even binted that they are lending
aid and support to the Republican
ticket.
Dan Mckay is about the only
so-called democrat who is making
much stir and he is so well known
as having been 2 republican and
later populist that his coming

he makes his special appeal for Re-
publican votes and socialist votes.

but Dan wants the votes--for him
self.
