Missoula, Mont, is a lovely town
at the mouth of a broad and beau

It and the University Of Montana
sits at its edge. One thinks Of it
as the finest sort Of American town,
and feels that if he were showing
some nOte:aking European the best

take him to this town Of thirteen
thousand in Western Montana. Mis-
soull has a ne.ghboThoor club which
debated the presidential primary, pas
sed resolutions in lis favor, and kid
hem before the proper parry officials
One wishes now that the neighbor-
hood club would take up the tariff,

moral matter-wi.h reference TO the
