 "who Is going to believe the regular republican organization when it de- clares that 1t is opposed to special privilege?
 Does anyone doubt that for seven and one-half years the leader of the progressive party was in power in this country? Can anyone put his finger unon a single effort made by him to curb the monopolistic tendency which was then rampant? Does anyone believe that his new platform, which stands both Tor socialism and for system of licensing and curbins, ,s anything more than a bid for votes?

Governor Norris Is Logical Man
For Position.

Missouia, Dec. 10.-Resolutions
endorsing Gov. Edwin L. Norris of
Montana for the position of secret
ary of the interior in the cabinet of
President-elect Woodrow Wilson
were adopted unanimously at a
meeting of the executive board Of
commerce this afternoon.
The action was taken not as a
partisan matter at all. but as step
in behalf of the general welfare Of
the state of Montana. The men,
hers of the Missoula chamber of
commerce feel that Governor Nor
ris is the logical man for the posi-
tion of secretary of the interior.
and that if he is given charge of
that department Montana as a
whole will benefit greatly through
his advancement.
With q Montana man at the head
of affairs in the interior department,
the Missoula men believe that Mont
ana's development can be greatly
furthered. Governor Norris, they
feel. is man thoroughly competent
to administer the great questions of
conservation, with which the west
is most concerned.
