BEAVERHEAO ENDORSES
CANDIDACY OF DAvEE
LEWISTOWN MAN MAY HAVE
CLEAR FIELD FOR SUPERlN.
TENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

Local friends Of Prof. II. A. Davee,
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for superintendent Of public in
struction, are highly gratified over the
action Of the Beaverhead county con
vention, held last Saturday, in en-
dorsing Mr.. Davee for the position
which he seeks. Mr.. Davee was for
merly resident Of Dillon and has
many friends over there, who recog-
nize that he will make strong can
didate for superintendent and will, If
elected, fill the office admirably.
Up to the present time, no other
candidates for the place have been
announced and it is possible that Mr..
Davee will have no opposition in the
convention. Even though opposition
should develop, 1t will make little diff
ference, as the delegates from Fergus
are going over with the intention OF
landing that particular nomination
and have every confidence that they
will be successful.

INDEPENDENT, OR "BULL MOOSE"
PARTY TO PUT FULL COUNTY
TICKET IN THE FIELD,
THINGS SLIGHTLY MIXED
Leaders Of the Two Older Parties
Puzzled As to the Possible Out
come As Result Of Startling Move
by Newer Organization - Prospec-
tive Candidates Are Backward.

Whether or not they are able to &C.
complish any definite results at the
polls IN November, the fact remains
that the members Of the independent,
or Bull Moose party are giving the
leaders Of the two old parties some
thing to ruminate upon these beauti-
ful August days. The independents
have issued their call for county
convention, to be held at the court
house here, August 28, at which time
they propose to place in the field a
complete county ticket. This Is Just
three days prior to the date set for
the republican county convention and
two days later than the democratic
meeting.
Are Going It Alone.
The Independent leaders state that
the action OF the two older parties
Is a matter of Indifference to them.
They are going it alone, and, after
putting good, clean ticket In the
field, will make an appeal to the voters
on the political issues Of the day.
They have no more in common with
the republican than with the demo
cratic party and rejected all offers or
compromise made by the republican
leaders.
A Three-corncred Fight.
1t Is now evident that there will be
a three-cornered fight in Fergus coun-
ty, Montana and the nation during the
next three months. Such condition
naturally muddies the usually calm
and pellucid current Of politics, and
many patriots, who would otherwise
be walking all over each other In their
eagerness to take a dip, are now hold.
ing back, with the result that the crop
OF candidates Is the shortest known In
years. Right now there are not
enough aspirants In all three parties
to fill one ticket, and It may be neces-
sary to draft a bunch of little willing
workers when the conventions are
called
Nominate Ticket Later.
Although the democrats will hold a
county convention the 26th of the
present month, they will not nominate
their county ticket at that time, but
will content themselves with choosing
delegates to the state nominating con-
vention, to be held at Great Falls
Aug. 10Th, who will also be delegates
to the judicial convention, and naming
a state committeeman. The central
committee members are planning to
hold the nominating convention about
the middle OF September. The repub.
licans will, on the 31st, select dele
gates to their state convention, which
convenes Sept. 5th, and may at the
same time nominate their county
ticket. The independents will take
theirs all in one dose and, after nomi-
mating ticket, will select delegates
to the state Bull Moose" convention,
which convenes Sept 3rd.

ANOTHER WEEK
OF VICTORIES
LEWISTOWN'S CRACK BASEBALL
TEAM DlSPOSES OF TWO AMBI-
TioUS AGGREGATIoNS.

The men who comprise LewistoWn's s
crack baseball team have the winning
microbe firmly implanted in their sys-
TENS and are spending their days at
the delectable occupation OF showing
up other ambitious baseball aggrega-
t1ons throughout the state. Having
disposed of Billings and Anaconda in
successive weeks, they took on a team
said to comprise the pick of the semi.
pro players OF Helena last week and
made them look like bunch of the
veriest tyrOs at the great national pas
time.
Helena Very Easy.
The only objection the Lewistown
players and fans had to the Helena
ball tossers was that they were too
easy. The process of beating them
resembled too closely the time-honored
custom of taking candy from an in
fant.
The first game was sufficient to
show that Helena is not in Lewis
towns class, baseballically speaking.
In that so-called contest the White
Wings rolled up IL scores, while the
visitors managed to get but two runs
across the plate. The second game,
played Thursday evening, was a joke.
Outfielders and third basemen were
put In the box and the locals simply
went through the motion. With the
score tie in the eighth inning, "Scis-
sors" Mckeen stole second, third and
home, winning the game, If such 1t
could be called. The third and final
game was another walk-away for the
White Wings. and the boys from Hell
ena took the train the next day,
sadder. but infinitely wiser, as to the
calibre of baseball played in the Ju.
dith Basin. Moore added to the gen.
eral discontinue of the capital city

of Nine Blocks on Main Street,
Seven on First Avenue and Six on
Third, Fourth and Fifth Avenues
Ordinance Against Washers.

The city council last night took
steps looking to the paving OF twenty
two blocks in the business section
next year. A resolution was adopted
creating an improvement district for
the purpose of putting in the neces-
sary storm sewers this year, and that
work will begin at once. The district
includes practically all OF the business
section Of the city.
Boundaries OF District.
The storm sewer district includes
about nine blocks on Main street, or
from the top Of the hill to First ave-
nue.; seven blocks, or between Main
and Brassey, on First avenue; and
the two blocks between Broadway and
Janeaux streets on each of Third,
Fourth and Fifth avenues
Brick Paving Favored.
With the storm sewers installed and
everything ready for the actual work
OF putting down the paving, consider
able attention will be given by the
citizens during the winter months to
the subject Of paving material. At
the present time, the choice appears
to be very largely in favor of brick,
for the reason that the local brick
plant will be in position to provide
this material at a better price to the
city than can be secured on any other
material. The question OF patronizing
a local industry will also enter largely
In the matter, but all of these matters
will be thoroughly tnreshed out be-
fore spring, SO mat actual work can
be begun as soon as weather condi.
tions will permit next year.

nue. and Spring creek.
Will Squeeze the Huggers.
The council passed a stringent ordi.
nance designed to deal with men who
accost women on the streets of the
city. The ordinance provides for a
penalty of three months in Jail or a
maximum fine of $500, or both, for
each offense. There have been sew
eral complaints made recently from
different parts of the city concerning
men accosting women, and the coun
Gil instructed the city police officials
to keep close watch, in the hope OF
catching some of the "mashers.'
