An opinion respecting the quail
fications Of voters was rendered
Saturday by the attorney gener-
ais office in response to a query
from the county attorney at Chou
teau county.
His Interrogation arises from
the fact that in 1909 a number of
persons outside the state of Mon
tana formed an intention to To-
cate here, securing homesteads
under the United States laws, fl-
ing the necessary notices, but
did not take up actual residences
thereon. Instead, they returned
to their former places of resi-
dence to settle up their business
affairs. They have since return
ed to Montana and are now living
in the state.
The question is as to their
righ to vote. The opinion refers
to the supreme court dicision in
the case of Carwile against Jones
in Yellowstone county, and holds
that hereunder the intent has
been established and therefore
that such persons have resided
in the state sufficient length Of
time to entitle them to vote a.
the next general election. indie

A good way to show your ap-
probation for the excellent work
that has been done by Miss Mary
Lee Wilson during the past two
years is to cast your vote for her
for county superintendent of
schools next Tuesday. She has
no opponent but will appreciate
the votes just the same.

To the Voters Of Ekalaka and vi.
cinity:
In reply to an article signed
"A Voter, appearing in recent
issue of the Ekalaka Eagle, ask.
ing who is trying to fool" the
taxpayer, we give below the
facts as they really are:
In the issue of the Miles City
Independent, Of Oct. 18th, we
took as a basis the published
statements of former County
Clerk H. B. Darnell for the
fiscal" year 1908, and of Otis
Haynes for 1909, believing that
these two years would be a fair
comparison as they were the last
of Mr.. Savage's term and the
first of Mr.. Wells. Mr.. Wells
however, took exception to these
figures, claiming that he was not
getting a square deal, inasmuch
as we had included in his year
Mr.. Savage's last and heaviest
month.
We admit that Mr.. Savage's
last month Was included in this
statement, but Mr.. Wells makes
no mention whatever of his De-
cember month in 1909, which
should be added to give an equal
number of months, and as we
will show below the difference,
by so doing taking the entire year
from Jan. l. 1908 to Jan. 4, 1909
when Mr.. Savage turned over the
Office to Mr.. Wells, and from Jan.
A, 1909 to Jan. l, 1910, when Mr..
Wells was in office. is $73. 43 less
than by comparing the fiscal
years, which are from Nov. so to
Nov. Goth.
In Mr. Wells reply to "The
People Of Custer County" he
Starts in by saying that he has
no objection whatever to the
facts soaking in as far as they
will", provided the taxpayers in
vestigate the matter thoroughly.
They need investigation, and we
wish the taxpayers would do so.
We would like to call your at
tention to these figures:
Savage, Jan. l, 1908 to Jan. 4,
1909;
Salary $6,18O.33
Expenses 3.664.62
Total 1884. IS
Wells, Jan. 4, 1909 to Jan. /, 1910
Salary $40, ,950.58
Expenses 6,257. %
Total SIT, 2O7. 80
A difference of $7,362.85.
Also Mr.. Savage's expenses for
his entire term, as the County
Clerks records show, were $19,-
225.3 .38, while Mr.. Wells first
year in Office, to say nothing of
what he has done this year, a.
to almost the same ex-
actly $17, ,207.80. So from this
it will be seen that one year of
Wells administration has equaled

the two years of Savage's ad-
ministration, or thereabouts.
Let this soak in" too.
Now as to deputy's salaries
having been raised so by "stat-
ute", as Mr.. Wells says in his
reply. We would like to have it
known now that never before
Mr.. Wells assumed Office did the
sheriff pay the full amount as
allowed by law they took pride
in running their Office as eco-
nomically as possible, and still
policing the county thoroughly.
We want to thank you for rails
ing this question, and sincerely
hope that it will be investigated.

business matters and recent

One of the largest gatherings
of the year greeted the republi-
can candidates at their rally
which was held in the l. O. O. F.
hall last Saturday evening. Near
ly everybody in town turned out
and heard the opinions of the
candidates on the issue of the day.
County Attorney Sharpless Walk
er and A. j. Freeman were the
principal speakers and made very
forcible speeches on behalf of the
republican party and the work
that is to come before the next
session of the legislature. The
event was held at $3.50 with the
following office seekers present.
Carl B. CALVIN, Otis C. Haynes,
A. H. Swerdfiger, Al. Freeman,
Ben LeValley, H. E. Fearnall,
Chas. DAILY and Sharpless Walker.
After the rally the hall was
cleared and a dance given, which
was one of the largest attended
''hops'' of the year. A free sup
per was also served at the Yokley
residence by the candidates.
H. Hunter and Carter Smell came
down from Miles with the bunch
and aided in the fun making.
The Office of justice of the
peace has been taken from the
political slate. Candidates are
allowed their names placed on the
official ballot upon circulating a
petition and presenting the same
to the county clerk. In this
township there will be three can
didates, June G.. Olsen. J. F.
Yale and O. A. Dahl, two of them
to be elected. There has been
some misunderstanding about
the number of candidates to be
elected, some thinking that three
are needed and others one. T. j.
Martin and Amos Lambert Sr.
the present justices have declined
to again accept the Offices.

 FOR LEGISLATURE Tomiinson Presides Over Meet
 ing Last Night MANY SHORT SPEECHES Captain Smith and Seven Candidates For Legislature Who Have Al- ready Announced Arc Adopted
 as Choice of Meeting
MANY SHORT SPEECHES

Tho mass meeting of anti-amenders about 300 strong. at the Orpfeum theatre last night, ndorsed Capt. John G. Smith for fhe state senate and the seven can didate already announced for the leeis- lature. p,
 Col. John W. Tomlinson, who presided, in calling the meeting to order, said:
 The triumph of conservatism in No- vember will have been but a barren vic tory if governor and a Legislature be not elected in sympathy herewith. O'Eeal's election is assured. The legisla- ture should be in accord. The purpose of this mass meeting of the democrats of Jefferson county is to aid in the election of members of the legislature standing for the sentiments and wishes of the vast majority of the people so emphaticaily declared at the polls.
 NO one denies the right of the individ- nal to advocate any man or number of men for office. What we have the right 10 do individually, can we not do col actively? Who has delegated the right to self-constituted, would-be regulators of others to sey what mass meeing of citizens shall or shall not do? The op- position claims any indorsement by shis mass meeting will defeat the candidates indorsed. If sincere, would 1t not have been wiser on their part to have kept quiet and let us work our own destruc- ton? Are we not better judges sof how to accomplish our own ends than our opponents? Is 1t not wiser to do in the open what our oppo-erts are known to be doing behind closed doors? They aye by their own methods lining up, their forces. It is but common sense for us }to line up ours" .N
 He then threw the meeting open for business. Colonel Tonlinson, on motion Of Lee Cowart, was made permanent chairman, and J. E. Williams was elect ed secretary. P. c. Bowman, who sat in the audience said: i've are here to hear the report of the special committee sp- pointed by the mass meeting two weeks ago to select candidates for our, support, representing the sentiments and wishes of the majority of voters in the c0unty.f
 Fl. A. Iiagler, chairman of this com n,ittee, read the report, to the effect that the committee had found enough good candidates already in the field and had decided to leave 1t to the mass. mect- ing to indorse seven scod men. and asksd to be discharged.

Some Facts and Questions" is the head under which some very interest ing and instructive things are said on the back of one of the small phamplets which was issued by the officers of the local laymen's missionary campaign yesterday. They are as follows:
 "The Protestant church members of Birmingham gave an average of one and third postal cards a week for up to the point of paying as much as a car fare a week the amount would have been ss1,os1. Do you think that too much?
 Tn the United States there is an ordained minister for every 54s of the Christian worker (including womon) for 13S,e75. If you lived there what would you want the church to do?
 The Christian churches of America paid last year for their own work $500, 100000; and for the evangeiixa- tion of the heathsn s11,Ooe.0o Do you think this a square deal?
 Do you regard your contribution of last year as adequate to the needs of the heather. who never heard the name of Jesus? As satisfactory to Jesus, who tasted death for every mani?
 Are you willing to come face to face in the judgment with Jesus, your gift. the hsa then and your expenditures for yourself?
 Will you ask God out of an honest heart to show you just how much He wants you to give this year"
 The larger part of this phampIet Is taken up by an accurate, intelligible, attractive and, lately-revised table which shows what the churches of p,r- mingham are doing in the way of mem bers, congregational expenses. benev- olences in America. gifts to foreign missions and the final column of figures shows the average amount given by each member of every church of ev- ery denomination in the city. This table of statistics has caused the lead CTS of the campaign a great amount of work but they hope to use 1t to such an advantage in the every-mem- Der canvass that they will reap abun- dant harvest. Fifteen tn ousand of the pamphlets were ordered from the, e,print- CTS and they will be distributsd at the many meetings which win bs: held nezx sSnda aII oysr xhs clfy ii me int4sest of the campaign. secrStaries
