 rude men, some of whom are more highly educated than the young tenderfoot who wrote the article. It may be revelation to you, Miss Florence, to visit these camps and if these same rude" lumberjacks do not convince you that you are among a truer lot ot gentlemen than you ever found at a high society function, there will be something new happen among these tree fellows" No true lady ever visited either a COW camp or logging camp but what she was a guest of that camp and each member vied with the other in being her humble servant, and any one of them who so far forgot himself as to be the least rude or ungentlemanly did not remain in that camp long.

Their attitude reveals the fact that in republican counties they are firmly convinced that nonparti- san election should be held, but in counties where democrats pre- vail, they want democrats and democrats only selected as dele gates. Unless there is territor- ial agreement to a nonpartisan election, it is up to the republicans to save their bacon now, while they can, and follow the example set by our democratic brethren.
