by side. in many instances In the same
buildings progressives and republicans
held primaries for the election of dele
gates to the county conventions
throughout Flathead county tonight.
In this city the voting places of the
progressive party were the scenes of
enthusiastic activity and full delega-
t!ons were elected to attend the con-
vention here next Friday.
In the list of delegates are the names
of some former democrats, and a for
mer socialist was elected In one pre-
cinct. There was no dearth of material
from which to choose delegates by the
progressive primaries. while the re-

were entirely orderly and even the
most cordial feelings prevailed Dc''"eon
the opposing partisans. The repnD-
lican convention will be held In this
city next Saturday. Full county tick
egs will be nominated by both parties,
according tor present programs, except
a few offices upon which agreement
has practically been reached for joint
