SUNDAY SCHOOL
'' CONVENTION
MANY DELEGATES ATTENO-OF.
FiCERS ELECTED FOR ENSU-
ING YEAR.

The second annual Sunday School
Convention of Musselshell county op-
ened last Friday afternoon with rOus-
ing children's meeting which taxed
the capacity OF the Methodist church.
Rev j. A. Afford of Helena, general
secretary OF the Montana Sunday
School Association gave an illustrated
talk on "Sunbeams and Wha, They
Do Friday evening addresses We're
given by Mr.. G. n. Griffin in behalf OF
the city in the absence OF Mayer

Sunday schools of the city welcoming
the convention to our midst \ re-
sponse was made by Rev. Horace
Turner OF Lavina. Rev, +. W. Wright
Of Lewistown then spoke in which he
showed that boys and girls should be
fed on wholesome physical and social
recreation During the impression
able period OF youth, the amusements
for the boys and girls should not be
the same as for grown-up folks. After
the services a reception to the visiting
delegates was given during which
light refreshments consisting of cho-
colate and waters were served.
Saturdays sessions were well at
tended and valuable addresses and
papers were given on various phases
of Sunday school work. These papers
and addresses revealed the fact that
the modern Sunday school is confront.
ed with difficult problems and to solve
them requires the best men and WOm-
cn in the church and community enlist
themselves for the work. One of the
most important and probably I
reaching in It's effects was the Boys
and Mems meeting Sunday afternoon
which was addressed by Rev. Afford
and Rev. Arnot, N these addresses
The responsibility for the training Of
the boys was placed upon the men.

The two sermons Of Rev. Afford Sun

IMPORTANT REAL
ESTATE TRANSFER
DR.. g. E. o'NElL BUYS LOT SOUTH
OF eLAIR's DRUG STORE
FOR $2,750.

An important real estate transfer
was made this week whereby DR.. G. E..
O'Neil becomes owner of the va
cant lot on Main street south Of
Blair's Drug Store. The price paid
for the property, $2,750.0O, shows that
Roundup property has enhanced in
value considerably since the establish
ment of the city only four and one
half years ago. Originally this lot was
purchased for the small sum Of 5000
by Joe Badovinic who held it until the
sale this week making neat profit on
his investment. The lot has 'front.'
age of 25 feet and at the price paid
each foot Of frontage is valued at $110.
DR.. O'Neil has purchased the proper
ty for the purpose of erecting thereon
q modern office building. The build
ing is to be 25x40 feet in size, con-
structed of brick. Contractors are now
working on the plans and it Is pro-
bable that work will be commenced in
the very near future. The building is
to be completed this year.

FOR THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY SURELY INDICATED

Helena, Mont, Oct. 22.-Leaders of
all political parties estimate that of
the registered voters of Montan 1O2 900
will cast their ballot on election day.
Basing his deductions upon that figure
and drawing his conclusions from re-
ports received at Republican head
quarters from various county and pre-
cinct committeeman throughout the
state, State Chairman John e. Edwards
tonight asserted that the Republican
party will poll fatal of $4,000 votes

fer Taft and the Republican ticket
Senator Edwards estimates in round
numbers give the Republicans $4,000.
the Democrats $4,000, the Bull Moose
Party Il 900 and the Socialists and
Prohibitions 10000. "If any error is
found in the forecast" said he, II pre-
dict that it will be an overestimation of
the Socialist and Bull Moose voters" !"
Particlarly encouraging to the Re
publicans are the repor-s from the
various sections where foreign born
workmen are employed. In every In
stance these heretofore Democratic
strongholds have declared against
Woodrow Wilson because of his anti

having come here in 1882 when he was

country in particular, and the manner
in which he has showed his faith in
his adopted home is proof positive

nor has he ever sought one.
simultaneously with the time that
the name of George Bachman was
first mentioned as a possible candidate
for county commissioner from the
east end Of the county, there sprang
up a popular demand for him. The
demand was genuine and not con-
fined to any section Of the county In
particular. Wherever he Is known the
response came, There is a man that
Musselshell county wants as one Of
it's county commissioners" This de-
mand was recognized by the Republi-
cans of the county and he was named
as their candidate for the four-year
county commissioner. And better
man could not have been selected
as a candidate for this important posi-
ton. That Mr. Bachman is fully quail
fed to serve the county as a member
Of its board of county commissioners
is realization that did not come as a
udden inspiration to anybody is shown
by the fact that four years ago when
the county division bill was first intro
due, in he state legislature, his
name was included therein as one of
the county commissioners. There has
been no change in Mr. Bachman since
that time. unless it be that he has
gained more in practical experience.
and his election as one of the commits
sioners at this time wculd be a forcible
demonstration that the voters of this
county recognize a mans worth.

treasurer, declaring that he was away
from the city. He had been ap
preached at various times by the
would-be leaders of the Progressive
cause and asked to accept the nomi-
nation, but in each case he told them
that he would not consider it. Just
before leaving several weeks ago for
a visit in Illinois he again told them
that he absolutely would not accept
the nomination for county treasurer
from the Bull Moose convention. In
the face of all this, when the Bull
Moose convention met here the day
after Mr.. Newton left he was nomi-
mated and his name placed upon the
ticket Previous to this action on the
part of the Progressives Mr.. Newton
had circulated a petition TO have his
name certified TO as an independent
candidate for county treasurer and
this petition was filed several days
before the Bull Moose convention. Mr..
Newton has withdrawn his name from
the Bull Moose ticket and will be an
treasurer.
In connection with his candidacy for
county treasurer on the independent
ticket Mr.. Newton has issued the fol-
| lowing statement:
