Judge Myers Surprised.

Missoula, March 2.-Judgc Henry
L. Myers, of Hamilton, the newly
elected United States senator, re-
ceived the first news of his election
rom a local newspaper Office. he
was completely surprised and INSIST
ed on the news being repeated over
and over again to him. Judge Myers
is more than we'll known in Mssoula
and Missoula county. Missoula and
Ravalli counties are part OF the same
judicial district, and Judge Myers has
heard cases in this county frequently
He sits regularly at Thompson III
Sanders county. He has delivered
many addresses in Missoula and his
speeches have been features of sew
eral red apple banqucts, the annua
demonstration of the local chambei
of commerce. He was state senator
from Ravalli county in 1899 and 1901
His successor as judge in thu
Fourth judicial district will be ap
pointed by Governor Norris. It !!
thought here that Henry c. Stiff, ;
prominent attorney and former speak
er of the house, will be chosen. III
was co-candidate with Judge Myer
in 100S
Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-07

Thus the roll call proceeded, the
compromise gaining strength each
succeeding moment, until less than
five minutes after the lightning struck
in the most unexpected of all places
Henry L. Myers was announced by
the lieutenant-governor as the sen
ator in congress to succeed Thomas s
II. Carter, whose term expires March
T."
Before the vote was announced
however, it was made unanimous
Crouch, Duncan, Baker, Johnson OF
Lewis and Clerk, Kammerer, Liss-
ner, Ebert and Reel all changing
their votes for him. For fully three
minutes after the election pande-
monium reigned. Myers and Hig-
gins were cheered in turn by the
democratic members.
After it had subsidized Senator Don
Ian, in the same silent way he has
moved dissolution of all the previous
sessions, moved that the "joint as
sembly do now dissolve sine die ant
that the senate retire from the hal
of the house"

Senator Dixon Pleased.

Washington, March 2-Senator
Dixon, asked for comment on the
election of Judge Myers to succeed
Senator Carter, said tonight: FOR
nearly 20 years ! have had pro-
fessonal and somewhat personal &C
quaintance with Judge Henry l.,
Myers. He is good man, honorable
and upright His law training will
give him special fitness for much hard
work in congress and | believe he
will make a faithful. conscientious
and hard working representative OF
Montana. OF course, | would rather
have seen a republican elected, but.
as the legislature was democratic and
the election OF republican seemed
impossible, | am glad that the legis-
lators elected senator and did not
allow the place to go vacant tor. two
wears. With the small congressional
delegation which Montana has and
with the vast number of interests at
fcctins the state it is fortunate that
the delegation will b. completely
filed for the next two years.

MAJESTIC CHANGES HANDS.
William Wheeler Takes Charge OF
That Popular Resort.

A deal was closed early last week
whereby ''Bill' Wheeler acquired the
interest of Herman Schnick in the
Majestic saloon on Fourth avenue.
Mr.. Wheeler is one of the most popu-
lar mixologists in the city and will
make the Majestic frst-class house
in every particular.
The place was opened under the
management of Mr.. Wheeler Satur-
day night and an elaborate lunch was
spread for the patrons and friends of
the genial manager.
If all the saloons in this city were
conducted by such men as "Bill"
Wheeler they would always be run in
a manner that would receive the gen.
eral commentator of the public.

Harmony, Says Mr.. Conrad.

Mr.. w. G. Conrad when seen
last night by an Independent re-
porter, said:
Il am much pleased at the re
suit in the election of Judge
Myers. He has ben my friend al
most from the time he came to
Iontana to live. When he was in
the legislature about 10 years ago
he voted for me for United States
senator, and was one of my most
loyal supporters. l regard him as
one of the best democrats in the
state. He is man of high char
cter and will make, l believe, a
splendid senator. He is well
equipped for this honor. and will
be able to render the state great
service at Washington.
The election of Judge Myers IS
happy outcome of the contest.
His election will harmonize every
faction, thereby uniting the party
and leaving no unpleasant feeling
behind. In good time he will take
this position alongside the leading
men of the senate. He is we'll
versed in national affairs, and few
men in the state are more con-
versant with the needs of Montana
which can come to it through ma
tional legislation. He is interest
ing and forceful, and man that
Montana will be proud Of"
Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-07
Delighted, Says Mr.. Walsh.

Mr.. Walsh gave to the Inde-
pendent last night the following
statement:
"You may say for me that am
delighted with the result Judge
Myers is man of high character
and extraordinary capacity, a
clear reasoner and forcible
speaker. We have long been per-
sonal friends and l owe to his
active interest in my behalf in =
very large measure the favorable
regard entertained toward me by
the people Of his county as re-
fected in the votes of its repre-
sentatives, who never waivered Ill
their support of me from the day
the balloting began until the pro-
cedure was initiated which forced
the selection of a senator.
Henry L. Myers is true dem
ocrat, man of the people. He
will worthily represent the state
n it's every interest in the senate,
and | look for useful and honor
able career from him. He is in
hearty sympathy with the general
policies of the party, in which the
democrats were entrusted by the
people Of the state with the duty
of selecting a United States sena-
tor, and in my estimation the out
come Of the long and spirited con-
test is most fortunate.
"The result is so satisfactory to
me that l feel amply repaid for
any effort made by me which has
contributed to the result"

Fergus County Democrat., 1911-03-07

Helena, March 2.-After seven
hours and half of continuous ballot
ing, the Twelfth legislative assembly
this evening elected Judge Henry l..
Myers, of Hamilton. United States
senator to succeed Thomas H. Carter
Heretofore unthought or unheard
of as candidate, his name was in
jected into the senatorial controversy
just at the physiological moment and
at time when sharp conflicts of
opinion had the democrats hopeless
ly deadlocked on every one that had
been named.
The introduction of Judge Myers
name was hailed with acclaim by
both the supporters of Walsh and
Conrad.
Representative Woody suggested
him as compromise, Senator Con-
row was the first to vote for him and
then followed stampede on the
democratic side that ended only after
the 50 members of the majority had
named him as their choice That
Montana will have representative
in the United States senate to sue.
ceed Senator Carter was due to Rep
resentative Higgins, the Missouls
county republican insurgent, whose
vote saved the joint assembly from
dissolving sine die without con
summating an election.
His action was the turning poin
in the deadlock Immediately ther'
was a change OF sentiment. Th'
dogs of war were leashed and tn
dove Of peace flew into the hous
once again and settled on the demo
cratic side. For the moral courag
he displayed in voting against hi
colleagues on the republican side, h
was cheered to an echo by the dem
ocrats and the galleries and by Co
C. b. Nolan he was acclaimed as
hero worthy of Carnegie medal.
1t was on the 9th ballot taken to
day that Judge Myers was elected
The democrats were just emergin
from a conflict that had rent thei
ranks with dissension which threat
ened to engulf them.

My Boy

Once he sat upon my knee,
Looked from bright eyes into mine,
Questioned me so wonderingly
Of the mysteries divine
Once he fondly clasped my neck,
Pressed my cheek with kisses sweet;
All, my heart, we little reck
Where may rove the precious feet
Once his laugh with merry ring
Filled our home with music rare,
And his loving hands would bring
Wreaths of flowers for mothers hair
Oh, the merry, happy sprite,
Constant, ceaseless source of Joy.
But tonight, oh, God, tonight,
Where, oh. where's my erring boy?
Midst the glitter and the glare
Of the room where death is dealt
Scarce you'd know him, but he's there.
He who once so reverent knelt,
At my knee and softly spoke
Words into the ear of God.
Oh, my heart, tits smitten, broke
Crushed, | bend beneath the rod.
Oh, this curse that spoiled my boy;
Dragged him down and down to death;
Robbed me of my rarest Joy,
Made pang of every breath
Mothers, fathers, hear my plea,
Let your pleadings pierce the sky,
Pray and work INCREASINGLY,
Let us save our boys or die.
