"The republican party is the great
est political institution in history.
These reflections from our ranks in
the last few months are nothing.
1t is more enduring than any man,
set of men or combination of men.
These convulsive phenomena-if /
may dignity them by that appellation
are absolutely nothing. They would
amount to something in a crisis. but
there is no crisis today and if there
ever should be, depend upon it, the
republican party will take care of it.

and with northern counties gave him
a strong vote, but Wilson received
3sO19 votes against Cooney's 267a
when Mr.. Freeman moved to make
the nomination unanimous.
Thus the only contest was harmon
iously settled. In accepting the nom-
ination Mr.. Wilson said he had sup
ported Roosevelt before the Chicago
convention but that when Taft was
nominated he bowed to the action of
convention holding that the Repub-
lican party is bigger than any indi-
vidual. He had 10 harsh words for
those who have left the party, but
a welcome for them upon their re-
turn.
The balance of the ticket was made
up as shown in another column. All
agreed that no stronger ticket was
ever offered the voters of Montana.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported and 9 strong progressive plat
form was adopted amid great ent hui
siasm.
The people of Great Falls received
high and universal praise for the
warmth of the welcome extended to
her visitors and for the hospitality
shown them. There were ample ac-
commodations for all.
