GREETING
Democratic Speakers Open Local Campaign at
StanfOrd.-Large Crowds Also Turn Out at
Windham, Utica and Buffalo.

Stanford, Oct. 13.-The democrats
opened their regular speaking itin-
erary in this city last night, and the
meeting was one of the most enthu-
siastic political gatherings ever held
in the western part of Fergus county
Gillispie's hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity and the various speak
ers received hearty reception and
their remarks were listened to with
interest and attention.
Attorney Carl Wineman presided
as chairman, and in opening the rally,
delivered an eloquent and convincing
address on the issues Of the present
campaign. The applause which greet
ed Mr. Wineman's reference to the
insurgent movement in the republican
party clearly indicated that Stanford
is the home Of large number Of re-
publicans of that pursuasion. AS a
matter Of fact, while they are not
saying much, there are large num-
Der of independent voters in this
rapidly growing section of Fergus
county who follow the lead of men
like LaF gillette, Cummins and Bris-
tow, rather than Tom Carter, Aldrich,
Hale and Burroughs.
Charles J. Marshall, democratic
candidate for county attorney, was
the next speaker, and made an ex-
ceptionally fine impression by his
forceful utterances in commentator
Of the local democratic ticket. Mr..
Marshall then took up the conduct
Of the county attorneys office under
the administration Of Mr.. John c.
Huntoon and showed from the figures
taken from the county records that
that office, during the last two years,
has cost the taxpayer of Fergus
county thousands Of dollars which
were needlessly expended. He COM
pared the record of Mr.. Huntoon
with that of his predecessor: Mr..
Ayers, and the comparison is any
thing but complimentary to the
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1910-10-18

HARTMAN A SURE WINNER
The Galldtin Statesman Makes a Decided Hit in
LeWistOwn. Many Hear His Earnest Plea
for Political Honesty.

That Charley Hartman has lost
none of his old-time popularity in
Lewistown was demonstrated beyond
the shadow of a doubt at Culver's
opera house last night, when he was
greeted by one OF the largest and
most enthusiastic audiences ever turn
ing out to hear public speaker in
this city. The crowd was primed
for one Of those honest, eloquent
and straight-from-the- shoulder inde-
pendent speeches, for which the Gal
latin statesman is famous, and they
were not disappointed. Every person
in the audience paid marked attention
to every word uttered by the speaker
from beginning to end, and the fire.
quent and vigorous applause that in
terrupted the speaker early in his ad-
dress showed conclusively that Mr..
Hartman had won the confidence Of
his hearers at the outset. Party ties
set lightly on our future congressman
and he handles his subject with a
broadness that is refreshing to all
thinking men, irrespective Of party af-
liliations The glowing tribute paid
te progressive republicans in their
gallant fight in congress and in this
state was applauded as vigorously as
was his scathing rebukc Of the re-
dictionary democrats Of the south and

At the outset Of his remarks, Mr..
Hartman stated that the order in
which he would discuss the issues OF
the campaign would have no sig
nifIcance az indicatinp the inheritance
Of one issue over any other. Assert
ing the Importance of all planks in
the platform, he stated that each and
all thereof constituted an integral
part Of the one great question, "Shall
the people rule or shall the system
rule?" He then discussed the ques-
ton Of the duty of the citizen in con-
sidering and determining public ques-

Well-Known Physician Commits Sui
eide at His Homestead a Few
Miles From Windham.
INVESTIGATION is MADE
Result of the Inquest-Body Will Be
Shipped to Old Home in Ohio
for Burial.

Late Friday night or early Satur-
day morning, DIR. Il. l.. Doty, we'll
known physician and surgeon, for
merly located at Kendall, committed
suicide by placing the muzzle of
shotgun against his breast and dis
charging it by means of stick. The
charge pierced the heart and the man
fell back on the bed, probably expir-
ing instantly. His little cabin on his
homestead, couple of miles from
Windham was the scene OF the
tragedy. The body was not discov.
cred until Sunday, when a telephone
message was sent in here, and County
Attorney J. c. IIuntoon, Sheriff Ed
ward Martin and Judge Edward Bras
sey left for the scene by auto They
returned yesterday afternoon, after
having made full investigation. DR..
DOty left no note or message of any
kind. The theory is that he simply
became despondent and during the
night decided to end his life Word
was sent to relatives in Ohio, and
yesterday Undertaken Creel received
message instructing him to embalm
the body and ship it east for burial,
This will be done.
DIR. Doty's Career.
DR.. Doty was about 3S years of age,
and formerly practiced at Billings and
Red Lodge, coming here from the lat
ter place He was at one time in
charge OF the Miners hospital at
Kendall, and considered very able
man in his profession, lie had been
married, but was divorced. A few
years ago, DR.. Doty became addicted
to the use Of drugs, and this habit
grew upon him to such an extent that
his mind became unsettled, and it was
necessary for his friends to have him
cared for. He quickly improved, gave
up the habit completely and seemed
to be restored to his old form. He
took up homestead near Windham
and had been living there alone for
some time. He was man of many
fine traits and was very we'll liked by
all who knew him. He was highly
educated, generous and sympathetic.

dali and elsewhere in the county.

one district to another, will require a
new registration.
Big Increase Expected.
At the general election two years
ago, nearly three thousand votes were
cast in the county. To be exact, the
vote for representatives in congress
was 2,948. The city of Lewistown
cast 747 votes for the candidates for
representative. 1t is certain that the
vote will be much heavier this year,
if all qualified register, as there has
been quite an influx of voters during
the past two years, most of them be-
ing farmers from other states, who
have made their homes in Fergus.
The vote in most of the larger pre-
cincts will also show a large gain.
In Roundup, for instance, only 158
votes were cast two years ago, and a
large gain there is certain.
Much Interest Taken.
The proportion registered will, OF
course, depend to large extent up
on the general public interest in the
coming election, and while this is not,
of course, as keen as in presidential
year, II appears 10 DC lnucn stronger
and more general than in the ordinary
off year. The issues are recognized
as important ones, and while the cam
paign has not as yet been of the
whirlwind order, there is every evi-
dence that the voters are deeply con-
cerned in the result
Voters are urged to attend to the
matter of registering early and not
wait until the last minute to get their
names on the lists.

HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL
IS PACKED TO THE GUARDS

The enrolment in the Hammond
high school is 2s7 students The actual
number taking the work Is 225, the
original number having ben reduced by
IL because of the opening of All Saints
high school Thirty-seven new stu
dents were added to the high school at
the opening of the second semester,
two weeks ago. but this number Is in
cluded in the 225 now attending.
There being only $50 seats in the as
sembly room for 225 students, class
rooms have to be used for study rooms.
The conditions consequently are not
ideal and the school authorities are
looking forward TO the day when Ham
mond will maintain a separate build
ing for a high school. The school
board is willing to build, but its hands
are tied by the state law which allows
a bonded indebtedness of only 2 per
cent of the value of the school city.
As the situation is now. the board
could issue about $4,000 worth OF
bonds. but this is not deemed sufficient
to buy a site and also undertake to
build. About $4,000 worth OF bonds
will be paid off in the ar future. thus
bringing the bonding possibilities ur
to SIS, 900.

IMPORTANT ONE

and the Hammond Business Mems asso-
conclusion as to the question of public
policy in this matter.
incidentally the fact is again proven
that the relations of the cities Of Ham
mond, East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor are so close that amalgamation is
inevitable sooner or later.
The meeting is to be held in Weis'
hall, and it is to be regretted that the
representatives from the neighboring
cities. which have proven themselves
progressive enough to build a Com
mercial club building. will be compelled
to meet the Hammond Business Mems
association in a room not their own.
QUESTION A VITAL ONE.
But the Hammond men will make the
best of the poor facilities for holding
meetings. and it is expected that the
interest in the question itself will be
sufficient to attract a large crowd.
The question that will have to be set
tied is something follows: rs 1t a
| matter of public policy for the cities
of Hammond. East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor to grant FRANCHISE
through the viaduct under the Gibson
yards and on Forsythe avenue, Easi
Chicago, to the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago line, or to the Gary & In
terurban line?
| Representatives of both companie.
will be at the meeting and will make
| speeches in favor of their respective
companies. The matter is one of ths
most vital that has come up for con
sideration in some time.
