Will BREAK BUILDING
RECORDS THIS YEAR
UNPARALLELED ACTIVITY IN THE
BUILDING TRADES LINE SHOWS
LEWISTOWN's GROWTH.

The present year promises to break
all past records In the amount OF
money spent on new buildings in Lew
istoWn. Right now there are several
hundred skilled carpenters, bricklay-
ers, cement workers and stone masons
at work about the city, and the pay
roll incident to such activity Is being
beneficially felt in all lines of busi-
ness.
The most expensive building now
in course OF construction Is the new
Hawthorne school building, on the
block bounded by Watson and JaneauX
streets and Sixth and Seventh avenues.
This building will cost, all completed,
| in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
will be one OF the handsomest and
most up-to-date structures of the sort
in the state.
Second in Importance comes the
new apartment house, on the corner
of Broadway and Sixth avenue. This
is one of the handsomest buildings in
/
and native brick. The local brick is
showing up finely in the building and
is source of pride to all who are in
terested in the growing success of the
LeWistoWn Brick & Tile company.
The apartment house, which is being
erected at a cost OF $4,000, will be
completed within the next few weeks,
and, even at this date, large number
OF the apartments have been leased
C. e. Richards is making substan
tial Improvement on his valuable
Main street property by the erection
of modern business block in the
place Of the old frame building, which
has been occupied by the Slater
butcher shop. Numerous other i'm
provements are being made in the
business section, with still others as
sured before the end of the year. The
Mountain States Telephone & Tele
graph company are about ready to be
gin the erection of a $4,000 building
on Fifth avenue and Broadway, while
the First National bank and the Lew
| istown Power Il Light company have
agreed to erect a four-story building
to cost 100000, on the corner of Fiftf
and Main. This latter building will
be begun this year. Messrs. Brigh

NEAR APPROACH OF STATE CON.
MENTIONS is AROUSING POLL.
TlCIANS TO SOME ACTIVITY.
CANDIDATES ARE SCARCE
Unusual Backwardness Among the
Faithful of All Parties in Declaring
ThemseIves-Republ Are Dis
couraged over Prospects of Two
Tickets-Smith Would Write Own
Platform.

The approach of the dog days, also
OF the various party conventions, is
having the effect of creating some in
terest in the state political situation
and it is expected that the kettle will
hum merrily from now onward.
TANGLED Situation.
The situation in Montana, as in
many other states, will be consider
ably mixed this year, owing to the
appearance of the Bull Moose party
on the political map. Bull Moose, it
must be remembered, is the name ap-
piled for the Roosevelt wing of the re-
publican party. 1t now appears GER
tain that the Moosers will have a full
state ticket in the field here this year.
That was the decision arrived at dur
ing the recent progressive convention
in Helena, and they have set Septem-
Der 3 as the date for holding their
publicans frankly confess that with
their forces divided in this manner,
there does not appear to be much hope
for either wing winning this year.
he three-cornered fight is likely to
result, before the campaign has pro-
eressed very far, into a rough house
between the regular republicans and
the Bull Moose adherents.
Candidates Scarce.
rbn tc will bn fhn fret tf
hold their nominating convention this
year They will meet in Great Falls
on the 29th OF the present month
This is somewhat earlier than state
conventions are usually held and is q
source of some embarrassment to the
aspirants for office in the various
counties. While it is desirable, If no
absolutely necessary, to hold the cOun
ty conventions a few days prior to the
state convention in order to selec
delegates to the larger gathering, tht
county candidates are decidedly op
| posed to going up against ten weeks
campaign. The longer the campaign
the greater the drain on the finances
of the candidate, and the average
aspirant for county office does no
Y feel disposed to spend all OF his salar.
before he even knows whether or no
he will draw said salary.
Reason for Early Date.
Il The executive board of the stat
committee, in figuring on date TO
the state convention, had to take tn
entire state into consideration and tn
time it requires candidates for stat
F offices to make campaign. Ther
are 81 counties in Montana now an

|about forty days. Knowing that it r.
Iquires about two weeks to get starte

SHELTER CITY BASEBALL TEAM
oUTcLAssED IN EVERY
BRANCH OF GAME.
LOCALS TAKE IT EASY
Futile Defense of Visiting Players
Makes It Unnecessary for White
Wings to Extend Themselves
Three Games With Fast Helena
Team This Week.

Totally outclassed in every branch
of the sport, the Anaconda baseball
team left this morning for home, after
dropping four games in a row to the
speedy White Wings of this city.
None of the games were even close
and the locals were not compelled to
extend themselves at any stage Of the
proceedings. The first game, played
Friday evening, clearly demonstrated
the inability Of the visiting aggrega-
ton to cope with the local nine, but
that did not deter the fans from turn
ing out we'll to all Of the games, and
it is to this loyalty that is due the fact
that the White Wings management
did not go in the hole badly, finan-
cially, on the series.
Boys Are Disappointed.
Managers McKeen and Freidline
were badly disappointed over the in
ferior bunch sent over from Anaconda.
They wanted some real ball games
and specified that the best players in
the smelter city should be along. If
the nine that played here comprise
the pick OF diamond talent in the Deer
Lodge village, that burg is sadly lack
ing in ball players.
Helena Coming Tomorrow.
The local management have sched
uled a series of three games, be.
ginning tomorrow, with the pick OF
the semi-pro ball players Of Helena
They have insisted upon real bal
team, as McKeen and Freidline are
anxious to give the loyal fans rur
for their money. They would rather
be defeated by good team than t6
wipe up the earth with a bunch O
tenth-rate amateurs.
| No Special Features.
No special features marked any O
| the four games, the last of which wa.
played last night. In the first contest
Lewistown quickly put the game OF
ice by making nine runs in the sec
ond inning. After that they eased VI
and permitted Anaconda to score ;
few runs. The final score was II t,
I 6.
Saturday Game Best.
The best game of the series wa
that played Saturday, which ended

now prepared to enter upon the last
cycle of his present term Of Office.
Whether he is reelected or not, his
administration will go down in history
as one of the greatest, 80 far as &C

Most of President Taft's reforms
have been fundamental. He has gone
to the root Of one of the greatest evils
OF the public service by establishing
an economy commission, which al
ready has eliminated much waste in
expenditures and the duplication Of
work. He has secured the parcels post

AABITANT OF IOWA.
The constitution OF the United States
SAYS that q representative in congress
must be an inhabitant of the state
from which he is elected.
It Is not enough that he be citizen
OF the United States-he must be an
inhabitant Of the state In which he
Is elected.
That means his habitation must be
IN that state. A man might be an in
habitant of state and still not be a
citizen of the United States. No one
VIII claim that that man could, under
the constitution, be elected a repre-
sentative in congress. If that part Of
section 2, article 1, of the constitution
is binding, then the part of the same
section, which says he must be an in
habitant Of the state in which he Is
elected, must be just as binding.
We know the democrats OF the sixth
district of Iowa do not want to elect
to congress man who will ignore the
constitution Of this country. That is
not the kind of representation they
want, and Mr.. Kirkpatrick knows it..
He should not try to force himself
upon them.

SAUNDERS TALKS
AT Two MEETING
COUNCIL BLUFFS SPEAKER MAKES
ELOQUENT APPEAL RoR REPUB-
LlcAN SUCCESS At POLLS.
CITES TRIP ABROAD
Foreign Labor Conditions and Prevail
Ing Poverty Contracted With Amer
lean Prosperity; Says Europe
Wants Wilson Elected.

Senator C. G. Saunders of Council
Bluffs addressed two republican meet
ings In the city last night, making an
eloquent argument in behalf Of the re.
publican platform and candidates.
Senator Saunders told his hearers
about trip to Europe last summer
and the Investigations he made of
labor conditions abroad. He pictured
the poverty of the poorly paid wage
Garner of European countries and of
their incredulity when told of the
luxuries enjoyed by the American
workers. Then he outlined the wonder
full prosperity we have enjoyed in the
last sixteen years, the increased wages
that have allowed the worker in
creased comforts and luxury and the
extended market this has given to the
American farmer Enact democratic
tariff legislation. he said, and you have
either to reduce the American laboring
men to the level of the foreign worker
or close the factories. A reduction in
the price of farm lands and farm pro-
ducts, he said, would follow as q
natural consequence.
Senator Saunders was introduced at
the meeting in Odd Fellows hall by
Chairman Adelbert Christy of the
county central committee. At the
meeting in the Garrick theater At
torney E. K. Daugherty introduced Mr..
Saunders, making few pleasing intro
ductory remarks.
Senator Saunders address In part
follows:

Holland, Germany, Switzerland and

siderable time and attention to the
condition of the laboring classes. l
found wages to be about 40 per cent
of what they are in the United States.

Of corporation tax yielding $780,
100000 year. Through his efforts q
childrens bureau has been establish
ed to study the needs of child life III
the United States, while an indus
trial commission is in process Of for
nation with view to studying the
relations between capital and labor
and bringing about just relations be-
tween the two. Incidentally he has
sounded the call for the establishment
of a farmers credit system that will
give the farmer the same financial
conveniences as are now enjoyed by
the industrial world.
Probably the thing that will be
written largest lin the history of the
present administration is Mr.. Taft's
frank stand for arbitration Of all dis
putes among nations. No other ruler
OF a great country had ever taken
such an advanced position, and when
an international court of arbitration
is eventually established President
Taft will be remembered as the pio-
neer progressive.
By what he has not done, as we'll as
by his positive acts, Mr.. Taft will
gain the applause of history. He has
not plunged the country into war with
Mexico, although he could have made
his reelection sure by so doing. He
has given proof of his patriotism in
other ways than by waving the flag
and stirring up his fellow citizens to
rush into costly and deadly war in
his interest.
The present generation will pass
upon Mr.. Taft's administration next
week, but whether it approve or con-
denim, it will not determine Mr.. Taft's
place in history And whatever the
verdict on November 5, we may be
sure that the presidency during the
rest of this term will be kept on an
even keel, just as it has been kept
since March 4, 1909.
