JUDGE HENRY l. MYERS OF RA-
VALLI COUNTY IS ELECTED
U.S.. SENATOR
SURPRISED WHEN NEWS REACHED HIM. COULD NOT BELIEVE
HE HAD BEEN ELECTED UNITED STATES SENATOR

IlClll -. Nl OAcs OAooA'No
the Fourth Judicial District. was el-
ected United States Senator to sue
ceed Thomas H. Carter by the unanl-
NOUS vote of the democratic majori-
ty in the Twelfth Assembly at seven
twenty-five Thursday evening. His
election was attained OH the twenty
seventh ballot after more than seven
hours of balloting.
While the votes that elected him
came exclusively from the democrats,
Senator Myers is indebted for his
election to Ronald Higgins, Republi-
can representative from Missoula
county. He 1t was who prevented
an adjournment sine die of the joint
assembly after the twenty-third bal
lot. The motion to adjourn sine die
was made by Senator Edwards. On
roll call vote three Democrats.
Hayes and Wheeler of Cascade and
Kammerer of Madison, voted with
the Republicans, and the motion to
adjourn had been carried if Higgins
had not switched his vote from aye
to nay.
Henry j.. Myers was born in the
state of Missouri forty.tive years
ago. He came to Montana in 1892,
and settled at Hamilton. Ravalli
county. He was elected county at
torney of Ravalli in 1894 and made a
creditable record. In 1898 he was
elected state senator from Ravalli
county, and his record in the stormy
sessions which he served through
was an enviable one. In 1907 he
was appointed by Governor j. X.
Toole, as district Judge of the
Fourth Judicial District to fill the
vacancy created when the leglsla-
ture that year gave that district an
additional Judge. In 1903 lie went
before the people and was reelected.
He is married and has Il wife and
one daughter.
1t was with much surprise that
Judge Myers received the news Of
his election to the United States SELL
ate Thursday night. At first lie could
not believe it, for he did not know
his name had been mentioned before
the convention. After he had
learned of his election he sent tele-
gram to the democrats of the legis-
lature thanking them for the honor
they had given him.
Hamilton went wild with excite
ment over the election Of Judge N.Y.
ers, bon fires blazed, bells changed
and whistles shrieked and Mr.. My
ers amid cheers and applause made a
few remarks:
II am greatly surprised by the
news that has come to me tonight,
and thank you from the bottom of
my heart tor your manifestations of
pleasure at my election. This greet
ing from friends and neighb ors is
dearer to my heart than any honor
that the legislature of Montana
could confer upon me. ] take it,
however, as not such an honor to me
individually as to Ham ilton, Raval-
Ii county and the Bitter root Valley.
Whatever l have done, how ever lit
tie it is or whatever my achievements
may have been, owe it all to the
good people OF Ravalii county"
