Bryan Declares
He Is Not The
Strongest Man
AND THEREFORE, NOT THE MOST
AVAILABLE FOR THE PARTY
OTHER IOlIlIC.L NtNs

Butte, Mont, March s. William
Jennings Bryan was in Butte yester-
day and addressed a large audience
after being introduced by Gov. Nor
ris, who referred to the Nebraskan
as man who could be elected Pres
ident. Bryan made the emphatic
statement that he was not candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination. He said there were 9TH
ers in the party better qualified to
make the race.
II came west through Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Washing
ton and I am returning by way Of
Montana, North Dakota and Minne-
sofa.
IT never had larger or more enthu-
siastic audiences and never found the
Democrats more active and hopeful
The sentiment among the Democrats
is progressive, but they are not unit
ed on any candidate. The contest.
however, is very friendly, and no mat
ter who is chosen to represent the
progressive candidate and a progress
sive platform.
81 appreciate the very kind words
that have been spoken by your gov
ernor in presenting me to you and I
think that l ought in the very begin
ming to disabuse your minds of any
impression that he may have left in
regard to myself. In selecting your
candidates leave me out. In three
campaigns I was your standard bear
er. I was so because l thought that
/ could poll more votes than any 9TH
er person then asn'~'- to the nom-
nation. may have been mistaken
1t is very easy to convince man
that he is more popular than others,
but whatever may have been the fac IS
in those campaigns I am convinced
that in this campaign I am not the
strongest man and therefore not the
most available man."

John P. Haley, whose reputation

throughout the country, is now set.

the finest Photographic studio be-

Mr.. Haley has built a wing on the
northwest corner of the large dwell
ling, formerly the Bartram home, and
has reserved the western half of the
building for his Photographic studio.
There is large and richly furnish-
ed reception room, the walls hung
with many choice specimens of Mr.,

graphy, fairly floods the gallery from
three sides and from huge sky lights.
A system of curtains, seemingly In
tricate, but really very simple, regu-
late the amount of light, and its d.

delight to everyone familiar with the
tricks of the camera.
Upon the upper floors Mr.. Haley
has his dark rooms, his work rooms,
and the other features essential to a
complete. equipment for thoroughly
up to date establishment. More room
than he enjoyed in his former quar-
ters gives the photographer greater
scope for work rooms, and corre-
spondingly better facilities for fill

Mr.. Haley is not too busy setting
things to rights in his new quarters
to greet his well wishers-and they
are many-who have taken occasion
to congratulate him upon the elegance
and completeness of his new studio.

Once more am constrained by my
sense of duty to the public to request
space in your paper to do what can to
correct certain impressions which the
readers might get from the letter from
Mr. r.tWhiteley explaining his views of
the offered amendment to the Wells

To be as brief as possible Mr..
Whitley would in effect try to persuade
us that he has given the present law
careful study and its administration

with only the honest purpose of seeur-
ing for the people "better roads, has
Joined in offering certain amendments.
Chiefly and first he names as defect
of the present law an inequitable diyi-
sion of the road funds among the sever
al election districts and proposes as
correction in the amendment that
sfthe money, shall be divided among
the several election districts-in pro-
norton to the county road mileage of
the said districts AS absolute proof

practicable among the election districts
of the respective road districts accord

it is known that the money is equally
divided among the four road districts
and that they were refined so that theil
mileage should be as nearly equal as
possible it is readily seen that in this
respect the amendment is really nj
amendment at all. AS matter of fac
it will defeat the very object which he
claims for the amendment for as mat

Our County Tax Levy.

met on Monday and made the annual
tax levy for 1912.
The rate of County taxes for 1912
will be 9Oc on S1OO against 114c on the
$1OO, net reduction of "a cents. The
reduction appears more emphatic in
view of the fact that the total assessed
value for 1911 was SIG, 993, ,474, while
for 1912 was SIT, 81, O29-a difference of
less than $4,000.
= On the other hand, the expenses for
1911 were $193, 725, 60, while for 1912
they are $153, 1925. The county ex-
pense for public school buildings in
1911 was approximately 1900, while
for this year that item amounts to only
$s,14O. The public school salaries for
the two years are as follows: 1911 ,
$42, 483. 68; 1912, SAT, :, ,658. SO.
