WH|TES|DE ON SUBJECT
OF SENATOR
STATE SENATOR MENTIONED AS
DARK HORSE DISCUSSES
CARRIERS SUCCESSOR.

In recent issue of his paper, the
kalispell Bee, State Senator-elect Fred
Whiteside discusses the senatorial Sit
uation. Mr.. Whiteside had just re-
turned from a tour of the state. in the
interest of w. w. Mcdowell for
speaker and, being "close in" with the
| powers that be, is probably in as
| close touch with the situation as any
man in the state. Mr.. Whiteside, too,
by the way, is being groomed as pos
sible dark horse. Hence the fol-
lowing editorial from the Bee will be
read with interesta
Since the official count has given
the democrats small majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature rumors
have been current that Mr.. Carter
would secure enough democratic votes
to insure his election or that by some
sharp method the republicans would
secure control on joint ballot In all
probability such rumors are without
foundation, for while Mr. Carter would
like to succeed himself in the senate
he knows the game too well to try to
secure the seat by any method which
would taint his election with fraud
According to the official returns the |
vote on Joint ballot will stand Sd DEM
ocrats and As republicans Mr.. Con-
rad and Mr.. Walsh are the only avow-
ed candidates and while the friends of
each are claiming to have about thirty
five of the So votes necessary to elect,
those who are in position to view the
matter impartially say that the first
vote on the senatorship will show
about dozen votes divided between
Governor Norris and one or two other
democrats, and that the remaining
40 or AZ democratic votes will be quite
equally divided between Mr.. Conrad
and Mr.. Walsh. If it were not for the
fact that his election would place a re-
publican in the governors chair Gov
ernor Norris would be the most likely
compromise candidate If the demo-
Gratis had secured a majority of Is or
20 on joint ballot Mr.. w. A. Clark
might have been candidate, but with
the very narrow democratic majority
and about Is of the democrats pledged .
never to vote for him it is not pro-
bable that Mr.. Clark will enter the
race. S
The republican effort will no doubt !
be directed toward having a deadlock |
with vacancy for two years in
which eVentMr. Carter and Mr.. Dixon |
will combine their forces in 1912 for l
The purpose of carrying the state for
The republicans, and, if successful, {
he senatorial plums will be divided {
between them. In view of this stu
alton 1t behooves the democrats to de-
feat the plans of the opposition by the
speedy election of democrat to sue
ceed Mr.. Carter, and no outside in l
|iuence or personal ambition should {
be allowed to stand in the way. Hav-
ng majority on joint ballot the dem t
)crats should first settle their own diff {
erences in caucus and then elect the l
nan who is the caucus choice. If they {
all in this or fail to elect a good. J
square democrat to the United States
senate, the people of the state will G
lot soon give them another opportun- t
ty.

The Mauretania was ready to sail
shortly after noon, although Captain
Turner had expected to have his hands
full in getting ready for the sched-
uled departure at 6 o'clock. The car

swarms of longshoremen.
The bunkers received their $500

GREAT ICE CARNIVAL
TOMORROW NIGHT
NIGHT OF FROLIC AT BASEBALL
GROUNDS FOR HAMILTON
SKATERS.
The event-the great ice carnival.

The event-the great ice carnival.
The time-tomorrow night.
The place-the Hamilton baseball!
grounds.
Everything is ready. The days of
effort to convert the baseball grounds
into an ice rink have been successful,
and tomorrow night the carnival, the
big winter event in Hamilton, will be
on in full swing, with gay crowd
of skaters gliding to the music of the
Hamilton band.
1t will be commingling of gay
spirits, for everyone and everybody
else is planning to be there Many
cleaning new hockeys are under cov-
'-er about town and will be worn for
the first time tomorrow night. Those
who have long been strangers to ice
and it's deceptions will join in the
frolic. Every available inch of skat-
ing surface, it is safe to say, will be
occupied, and an admiring crowd of
spectators will rim the rink, watch
ing the antics of the ice artists.
The Queen and All.
The big voting contest to select the
queen of the carnival will close to-
morrow evening at o'clock, and an
hour later the grand procession, led
by King Buchen and his queen, in an
automobile, will start for the grounds
Marching order will be formed in
front of the chamber of commerce
building on Second street. Skaters
are expected to provide themselves
with tags at the secretary's office and
carry Illuminated Japanese lanterns
on the march
Up to the closing of the count last
night Miss Laura Harper, with 455 |
votes, led in the balloting for queen.
Miss Carrie Hork was close behind
with 400. Miss Nell Smithey had 395 |
votes and Miss Gilray 2SS. None have
been cast thus far for Miss Quinn and
Miss Goodrich, who are said to be
holding back their ballots.
The Zee and Skaters.
"A surface 100 SICK 1Or q snow bird |
to walk upon is said to have been put
upon the rink for the big event. The
work of spraying the ice has been 60
ing on for days, the desire being to
get uniform thickness and smooth
ness. The rink has one distinct ad-
vantage, in that there it no depth of
water under the ice, and therefore no
possibility of fatal accidents. Some
unpleasant falls are, however, sched-
uled.
Among the skaters of mighty Prov
ess who are expected to perform are
w. o. Fisk and w. P. Baker, both
renowned for their skill on the CLASSY
winter substance. 1t may be that a
match race will be pulled off between
the two, as there is a long standing
dispute as to their relative speed and
endurance. An attempt was made to
settle this question upon a historic oc-
casion several years ago, but Bakers
skates frOze to his feet and the chill
was communicated to all parts of his
body, postponing the event.

so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW.

Editor of the Great Family journal:
wish to buy enough space in your
valuable paper so that can let the
people and our patrons know how
we stand in regard to the matter that
mas been brought out in regard TO
cash VS., credit, and ! will not be
ashamed to sign my name at the
end of this article.
a few days ago an article appeared
in one Of the daily papers of this
| city, supposed to have been written
by one of our local merchants.
OF course. We do not know his
name because he did not sign it at
the bottom of the article We do
not know the reason why he did not
do so.
l think that he took a little ad-
vantage Of the EDITORS absence from
the city for do not think he would
have allowed it if he had been here.
We thought that we would not say
anything about this matter, but, since
the subject has been stirred up, in
justice 10 ourselves, and since so
many OF our patrons have asked us
what position We were going to take
/ take this method of stating our
position
We have been in business IN La
Junta over eighteen years, and by
hard work and close attention to
our own business, and by selling
goods at the right prices, we have
built up a business that we are
proud Of Our patrons have made
The Draper what It is.
We are not going into any comb.
nation with anybody. which. might
tear 1t down. We have no objection
to any merchant going into a cash
business II he wants to- That is his
business; but we do object TO him
attempting to mislead the public, by
insinuatlng that We are In combine
with him
When II comes to that pass that
we cannot run our own business the
way that we think is the right way.
then We will turn the key in the
door and let somebody else run IT,
There is more in the business to us
than the almighty dollar.
We hope that we have made some
friends during these numl er Of years
and W. would hate To be in com
binatiou that we would have to re
fuse them a little credit when they
wanted H. SO we will run our busi.
ness In the future as in the past.
Any worthy party that is entitled
to credit We viii continue to accom-
odate.
The party that wrote the unsign-
ed article says We cannot sell goods
cheap enough ON credit. lie might
not be able to do so. but We can be

twenty per cent cheaper than some

this is MY s2ND BIRTHDAY"

The Duchess of Hamilton, one OF
England's most beautiful women, was
born May 10, 1878. Before her mar
riage I'm 1901 she was Miss Nina
Poore, the daughter of Major Robert
Poore. Her husband, the Duke Of
Hamilton, was poor lieutenant in
the British navy before he succeeded
to the titles and estates i'm 1895. Now
the premier peer of Scotland, and
Heir Male to the House of Douglas"
when he was a young man there
seemed not the slightest chance of his
succeeding to the Dukedom, but the
death Of the only son of the twelfth
Duke and a succession of other deaths
placed him at the head of the family.
The Duke is the holder OF more than
a score of titles in the English and
Scotch peerages and is Hereditary
Keeper of Holyrood Palace. His es-
tates, amounting to about 157,4OO
acres are in trust, according to the
will of the late Duke.

made through Secretary of State Mar
tindale and superintendent OF Schools
Martindale. BY its terms the pres
ent school board machine is To aid I'm
every way possible i'm lining up the
city vote for Mr. Kelley and in re-
turn "the administration" If the lieu
tenant governor should be elected gov
ernor, Is to turn in and help the ma
chine retain its grip on Detroit at the
spring elections next spring.
Taking look at the situation. II
appears that both of the forces are
very much afraid and that they are
lining up together i'm a forlorn hone.
The machine of the school board has
been on the run since the election of a
year ago. With sentiment i'm Detroit
clearly against the men who have
ruled the school board, and the bal
ance of power reduced to one or two
members, the old crowd have looked
on the election Of next spring with
fear and trembling For months they
have been striving with might and
main to perfect arrangements which
would give them an opportunity again
TO win out
The situation, with regard to the
governorship. has been much the
same Outside of the state employees
i'm Detroit and such workers as they
can influence there has been absolute
ly no sentiment for the nomination of
Lieut.. Gov. Kelley. Strong efforts have
been made to line up people of influ-
ence. but all attempts to secure a real
backing for Kelley have failed.
1t was therefore but natural that
the Kelley forces and the school board
crowd should get together I'm a hard
and fast compact, especially as the
two machines have been rather close,
anyhow. Each one has everything to
gain and nothing to lose by the deal.
With the votes which the school board
crowd can deliver to Kelley even the
most optimistic do not claim that
they can carry the city. on the other
hand, the school board machine faces
a desperate fight next spring. It's only
hope is to line up with strong factors
which can control the votes i'm certain
localities. 1t hopes to accomplish this
by the alliance with Kelley. If he
should be elected governor all the
patronage in Detroit, all the state en-
ployes, would be elisted next spring
in behalf of the school board machine
members who are up for reelection.
One difficulty has arisen however,
in the progress of the deal. A num-
Der of gentlemen who have always
been active. largely for personal rea-
sons. in helping out the machine mem
oers of the board, balk on the deal and
will not line up with Kelley.
