Big Crowd at Gilt Edge.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever attended a political meeting in
Gilt Edge assembled in Sawyer's hall,
Saturday evening, to hear the demo-
cratic campaign orators. Every seat
was occupied and scores remained
standing throughout the entire meet
ing. John J. Mengelkoch presided,
and filled the duties of that position
i'll most graceful manner.
Charles J. Marshall, candidate for
county attorney, was the first speak
er, and made strong address. That
Marshall is strong in that camp was
attested by the applause which
greeted his remarks. Each OF the
candidates on the ticket game in for
some hearty cheers when their names
were mentioned by the speaker
Homer Detrick followed with a short
but effective address. in which he de.
Tended his position on questions al
issue before the people OF Fergus
county and Montana and made very
favorable impression. JOS. Asbridgt
and Tom Stout were also hatteringl,
received by the big crowd, and in all
this was one Of the great rallies O
the present campaign. Following TIL,

Firmin Tullock.

Firmin Tullock, democratic candi-
date for sheriff, has lived in Fergus
county for many years, and during
that long residence has made many
staunch friends who will extend to
him their support irrespective of
party affiliations. During his in
cumbency as under sheriff, he has
made an efficient officer, ever ready
to perform his duty without fear or
favor. 1t is wellknown that the posi-
ton of under sheriff is one that pays
but a small salary, and were it not
for the hope OF one day succeeding
to the office OF sheriff, it would be
rather difficult to induce real good
men to accept the position OF under
sheriff. Mr.. Tullock has filled this
position for two terms and, by his ef-
ficient work, has demonstrated his
apt fitness to handle the business of
the sheriff's office in 4 most satisiac-
tory manner He is cool, level-head-
ed, courageous and manly, and de-
serves the support OF every voter in
the county who believes in rewarding
merit. When you go to the polls see

Gold Mining Camps Turn Out Great Crowds To
Greet Democratic County OratOrs--Candi.
dates Now on the Last Roundup.

Kendall, Maiden and Gilt Edge,
three strongholds of democracy in
this county, turned out great crowds
last week to greet the democratic
speakers and other candidates who
appeared in those thriving places.
Fine Meeting at Kendall.
The meeting at Kendall Thursday
evening was a most satisfactory one
from democratic viewpoint. The
Jones opera house was crowded and
the speakers were accorded the closest
attention throughout. Hon. J. M.
Parent, county commissioner, acted
as chairman OF the evening, and made
a good talk in presenting the various
speakers. Charles J. Marshall, Homer
Detrick, Jos. Asbridge and Tom Stout
delivered addresses, and their evident
sincerity, their able exposition of the
issues of the campaign, and especially
their outline of the question of Car
terism, made profound impression
on the big crowd. There will be a
big vote in Kendall this year, and,
as usual, it will be largely democratic.
Maiden Very Lively.
Another rafting good meeting was
held Friday evening at Maiden. This
historic old gold mining camp has
taken on a new lease of life during
the past year and its present activity
reminds the old-timers of the halcyon
days OF quarter of century ago.
The Cumberland mine is being oper-
ated successfully, with seventy-fve
men on the payroll, and extensive
work IS being done on the Maginnis
Spotted Horse and numerous other
properties in the district.
There are over one hundred voters
Registered in Maiden this year, and
from the large attendance at the rally
and the marked enthusiasm manifest
ed, indicates that large majority o.
them are in sympathy with the demo
cratic ticket. The speakers, who were
the same as in Kendall and elsewhere
were given a fattering reception

Bad Roads Did Not Stop Kendallites
From Attending Democratic Rally
Thursday Night.
DEMOCRATS MAKE HIT
It Was the Most Enthusiastic Politi-
cal Gathering Ever Held in the
Big Mining Camp.

The best political rally Of the cam
paign took place at Jones opera
house on Thursday, when Tom Stout,
Homer Detrick, Joe Asbridge and c.
J. Marshall, democratic candidates
for senator, representatives and county
attorney, respectively, drove to Ken
dali to interview Kendall voters. On
account Of the heavy going under
foot, it may have seemed probable
that there could not be a large turn
out, but not so, for good crowd was
in attendance to show that the little
gold camp in the hills is fairly alive
with democrats of the "old admins
tration' variety Shortly after eight
O'Clock, speaking commenced at Jones'
opera house, and the candidates all
made themselves heard to good adj
vantage, their speeches being abb
solutely free from mud Singing or
any unpleasant campaign methods.
Tom Stout, it is almost needless to
say, made good, ghtforward
speech, and showed every man pres
cnt just how he stands with his party
Stout's frank, open statements served
only to strengthen the good impress
sion he has already made in Kendall,
and it is putting the matter fairly
when we say that Ms majority in Ken
dali at the polls, few days hence.
will be immense Homer Detrick. OF
Moore, and Jos Asbridge, OF Lavina,
made a most favorable impression,
and will carry good majority here.
/ C. ] Marshall made a clever speech
and Showed" the Kendall voters in
what manner he would serve the in
terests of Fergus county as county
attorney. and was enthusiastically re-
ceived. The injustice received by the
town of Kendall at the hands OF the
present incumbent in office. is still
! fresh in the minds of Kendall's cit
zens. one and all and this fact will
swell the vote for Marshall to an un-
usual majority. ]. NJ. Parent also
