A. G.. MCDONNELL FOR
CLERK OF THE COURT.

In naming Mr.. Alexander Nc
Donell for the position of clerk OF
the district court the democrats Of
Flathead made AN excellent selection
better then the most of them
knew at the time. Mr.. Mcdonnell has
been favorably known in and around
Kalispell since his residence here,
and has won many warm frienMa
since the campaign opened. Mr.. Nc
Donen came to the Flathead about
twelve years ago. and was for some
four years engaged with the john
O'BTien Lumber company at Somers.
He has had a wide experience i'm
clerical work and possesses all the
qualifications for model clerk of the
court.
His many friends can say many
good words fer Alexander Mcdonnell.
but the best evidence of a mans
standing is the esteem In which he
may be held by the friends of the
long ago, and we cite i'm evidence a
letter received by a. local cCnte mpor-
airy from Mr.. J. E. Craney, of Spo-
kane, Washington The letter comes
without solicitation and is as fol-
low:
'In glancing over a paper the
other day, l saw that an old friend
of mine. Alexander D. Mcdonnell by

WILLIAM BRANDER

William Brander was placed upon
the republican ticket by the ccnven-
tion in September. for the office of
public administrator, for one great
purpose. That purpose is to place q
man before the voters at the Novem-
ber election who will be qualified
and at the same time be in a posi-
tion to give the time and energy
which it will require.
Mr.. Brander is a man who has
been used to handling big sums OF
money fer many years. During the
greater part of the time that he has
resided in the Flathead county he
has been logging contractor. It is
a business which takes great execu-
tive ability to make success. Mr..
Brander followed this vocation until
he met with misfortune in a physical
way, that of losing leg by log
rclling over him. Since that time he
was engaged in the mercantile bust
ness in Kalispeu.
Nearly everyone knows William
Brander. This fact is all in his fav-
or, as the people of this county rec
oniZe in him a man who is absolute
ly honest. and without the slightest
blot to mar his record as business
man. He has lived in Flathead coum-
ty % years, and his every interest il
here.
The office of public administrator
is responsible one; it should be
presided over by a responsible per-
son, such as William Brander. Dur
ing the course of the next two years
there will no doubt, be many estates
to be handled in the office. To en-
able the dependent ones left behind
to get the most out of these estates
they must be handled in a business
like manner. The election of the re.
publican nominee is a guarantee t6
the people that these estates will he
handled to the best advantage fol
all concerned.

June 14th, 1912, was day long to be remembered by the senior class oi eight young ladies who were graduated from Woodstock Academy on that day. The fairest of June skies, the clear at mosphere and bright sunshine lent charm to the scene and inside the nall a wealth of hemlock and mountain laurel, tastefully arranged upon the stage, made the hall mostiattratctlve. The seats for the students were desig- mated by bouquets of blue nag ana lemon lilies representing the academy colors. Marching to the music or the Putnam orchestra the body of students ushered the graduating class 10 tnelf seats. Principal Hall, l.. A.

Kendall Principal Hall very pleasantly lntro- duced the speaker of the afternoon, Rev. Frederick Lynch of New fofh city, who was welcomed both because of his well-earned reputation as man who is giving his life by use or pen and voice in a most able manner to au- vance the cause of "peace on earlh
 and also because of his personal ac- quaintance with Woodstock people during a summer spent in town with his family. His theme was "Builoers of the Templep and his address was characterized by high ideals, clear thinking, and was thoroughly imoued with the spirit of the man.
