Fergus one week from today, Nov. 6.
The ballot. which was printed by the
Democrat, is not SO cumbersome as
many imagined it would be, although
1t Is about yard long and nearly half
yard wide. There are five columns,
beginning with the democratic ticket
me republican comes next, while the
progressive ticket has the third column
ana the socialists take the fourth.
me hlth column Is for the "inde-
pendent party" which has Just one
candidate, IL. w. Chase, who was nom.
mated for sheriff by petition. The
marking or the ballot is going to be
quite job, especially for voters who

dates, from presidential electors to

names OF the respective candidates.

The death of w. r. Meyer, republi-
can candidate for congress, at Butte
Thursday, created a condition that
might have occasioned considerable
difficulty, but the immediate selection
OF w. X. Allen to fill the vacancy and
the official announcement with tele-
graphic instructions to the county
clerk and recorder enabled those in
charge to have Mr.. Aliens name print
ed on the ballot.

didate for school superintendent on
the three tickets, this office being con-
sidered non-partisan, SO that Miss
O'Hara Is equally the candidate of the
democrats, republicans and progress

Democratic voters will search the
ballot In vain to find any better candi-
dates for the various offices than those
appearing in the democratic column
and they can make no mistake in
marking the "X's" right down the col

rlchment OF both at the expense OF the
people. TniS enrichment was both IN
material wealth and in power. The
influence OF predatory wealth widened
with the extension OF the railways,
the telegraph and telephone, the use
OF electric power, until at length the
attempt was made to conduct the gov
ernment for the benefit OF the few in
stead of for the multitude. When the
Australian ballot put stop to the
wholesale corruption of the electorate.
it was decided by the special inter-
ests to control the conventions. The
direct primary would put an end to
that, and a sincere effort was made
by the democrats to give Montana a
direct primary law. Mr.. Walsh re-
ferred in complimentary terms to the
work of Senator Stout in connection
with this. Mr.. Stout was member of
the commission of three democrats
and three republicans that prepared
the bill for submission to the members
of the legislature, with the under
standing that if a majority would
agree to vote for it the governor
would call an extra session. Only one
more senator was needed to insure its
passage, but that one could not be Sc
cured. Senator j. e. Edwards, one of
those who refused, was honored by
the republican party by being made
chairman of the state committee and
was today directing the campaign of
his party.
The system followed by the inter-
ests and those who made a trade of
politics had caused the United States
senate to become known as the last
refuge Of the predatory interests. Mr..
Walsh outlined the methods followed
by the majority in the senate, espe-
cially prior to the fnsurgent' move
ment, by which the representatives of
the special interests there kept the
control in their own hands.
II am appealing for your support in
this campaign as the unopposed can
didate of the party for the office of
United States senator and am asking
for your support as a protest against
the attempt of representative of finan.
