than 20 years. j. A. Fowler assistant
to the attorney general, appeared for
the government. He outlined the case,
touching on the constitutionality OF
the long and -short-haul clause OF tho
interstate commerce law. the validity
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion's order and the action of the com :
merce court In enjoining enforcement
of the order on the ground that the
commission Is without authority to is
sue such general instructions.
Mr.. Fowler asserted that with
freight rates on shipments from the
east to Spokane as high as to Pa
cific coast cities. the latter could com
pete with Spokane in its natural ter
ritory and thus rob Spokane OF the
advantage due II by reason OF Its
geographical position. lie insisted that
authority to curb the railroads power
TO advance or retard the growth oi
cities through manipulation OF freight
rates must rest with some agency,
The court will hear further argu-
ments Monday.

more than 80 per cent of the repub

articles as their platform:
The purpose of this league is to
promote such legislation as will tend to
restore all political power to the cleo
tors of this state and to the nation
and to strengthen 1t in their hands; to
secure the nomination and election for
all public offices of candidates whom
we believe to be capable and trust
worthy. and in all honorable ways to
support such candidates for office as
we can trust to discharge faithfully the
duties of office
The membership of this league shall
consist of republican electors of Fer
gus county and such honorary MEM
bers as the league shall elect.
I'VE declare our belief that the only
practical means of securing the nomi-
nation of public officials who shall
truly represent the people OF Montana
Is direct primary election law for
the nomination of all elective officers
including presidential electors. and we
express our preference for the closed
form of such a law.

We desire the election of United States
