that if caucuses and convention
were held the result would be the

JUDGE CHEADLE'S
NOTE OF WARNING

A rousing and enthusiastic meet
ing OF progressive republicans was
held last evening in Lewistown at
the Orpheum theatre, says Wednes-
days Lewistown News. The attend
ance was large and a genuine inter-
est was shown by those present in
the purposes of the movement to Sc
cure a more direct participation in
the government by the people them.
selves. Ringing resolutions were
passed endorsing Roosevelt and Dix
on. The governor was urged, in a
resolution passed, to call the extra
session Of the legislature to pass a
direct primary law which would be
operative for the nomination of state
officers, from United States senator
down, this year. The republican
hOldback senators were denounced
rs being enemies Of republicanism.
The mention of Roosevelt brought
forth prolonged applause, and many
statements Of the speakers lauding
him and the progressive cause. were
greeted with genuine applause.
Judge Cheadle's Address.
Judge Cheadle was asked to :ad-
dress the meeting. He urged or
ganization in each of the wards and
precincts in the county. He said that
offers Of compromise had been made
by the standpatters, but that he was
in favor of lighting it out between
Taft and Roosevelt and let the people
decide whom they want. This state
ment was greeted with marked ap-
plause.
He urged attendance at the pri-
maries next Saturday. "Let the is
sue be clearly Defined" he said." Let
the fight be between Roosevelt and
Taft delegates, straight up"
He referred to letters sent out
about month ago by member Of
the county central committee. to pre-
cinct committeeman, in which it was
stated: "The so-called progressive
movement amounts to nothing. a
few discontented people are stirring
up the whole affair"
A Promise Made.
Judge Cheadle said that ssAalaEsisa
Helena at the recent progressive
meeting he heard it freely discussed
that two or three Lewistown men had
promised the Fergus delegation to
the Livingston convention for Taft

The. only fair apportionment to

that half of the voters in the county
are republican, the above apportion-
ment Is made on one-half the regis

and the Amalgamated Copper conn.,
pany. BY whom they were authorized
to make such promise he could not
understand. 1t was openly declared
in Helena nearly month ago that
the county would be delivered 10 the
AmalRamated, but he sincerely hoped
that there were yet some free men
in Fergus county. Again he
stated that he wished no harm to
the big corporations in their legiti-
mate business pursuits, but believed
that they should keep hands off in
Fergus county politics as we'll as in
state politics.
1--WE lare capable to run our own
AFFAIRS" he said. 1--WE do not need
advice from Tom Marlowe or Doc
Lanstrum of Helena. The support of
Taft in this state is practically limit
ed to the powerful Amalgamated
Copper company ring and its allies"
viii Weaken Ticket.
He called attention to a weakening
of the state and county tickets if
Roosevelt and the progressives allow
the Taft and Amalgamated forces to
control the county and state. He
predicted that, especially locally, not
a republican would be elected this fall
if standpatters are nominated for
representatives., etc., as the demo-
cratic party here is in control of the
progressives.
The people, he said, are tired of in
reference in politics in this state by
the Amalgamated. 1t is time to put
a stop to it now. Montana's vote for
president is small, but the moral ef-
feet will be noteworthy.
Judge Cheadle referred to Dixon,
whom he characterized as the one
man high up in state public life who
is not controlled by the copper COM
pany. Dixon and the corporations
came to the parting of the ways when
he introduced the long and short haul
clause and advocated it. The big
power is being exerted to defeat Dix
on in this state this year.
If standpatters control the state
convention for nominating state Off
GERS, he also predicted the defeat Of
that ticket. He looked upon this
sacrifice of republicans as useless
and senseless Offering to further
Taft. He~irged that the republican
+ party should keep up with the de-.
mands of the times and be in accord
with the sentiments and wishes of
its individual membership. He urged
the voters to act as they think and
not to be dictated to by bosses.

Republican County Convention

We. the republican voters of
Meagher county, protesting against
the action Of rump committee in
selecting eleven delegates to the Liv-
ingston state convention at meet
ing Of less than majority of the
republican county central committee
at White Sulphur Springs on Wed.
nesday evening. April "a, 1912. here
by call a delegate convention to meet
in Harlowton, Montana. on Monday,
May 13, 1912, ut o'clock p. M, for
the purpose Of electing eleven dele
gates and alternates to the republican
state convention to be held in Living
st0n, Montana, on Thursday. May IL,
1915.
We claim that the action of the
republican county central committee
in selecting delegates was unfair.
unrepublican and illegal for the fol-
lowing reasons:
That the committee was called to-
gether for the express purpose of set
ting date for holding county con-
vention to elect these delegates, and
to make All apportionment from each
precinct to this county convention.
That less than a majority of the
committee was present in White Sui
phur Springs, either personally or by
proxy.
That the committee as constituted
on that occasion did not represent
the presidential preference Of the re-
publican voters when 1t arbitrarily
selected Taft delegation.
That the committee was pnrposely
packed for that purpose by office
holders.
That the action Of this rump COM
mittee was clearly willful and ille-
gal nrsurpation Of a function Of gov.
ernment not delegated to it by the
sovereign people.
AS a protest against gang and gag
rule, the republican voters in each
precinct in Meagher county will par
ticipate III caucuses in the usual way
at 2 to 5 O'Clock p. M, Of Saturday,
May II, 1912, to select the following

HOW THE TRICKWAS TURNED

ed two years ago, two of these men,
bers being outside Of the county
central committee selections, which
is considered irregular. as each pre-
cinct is entitled to but one delegate,
and If an executive committee is
needed it should be chosen by the
whole committee from the member
ship Of the committee. County At
torney w. l.. Ford recognized the
fact that the two members OF the ex-
ecutive committee had no right to
vote in the meeting, and Mr.. ToOley
moved that they be given that right.
which motion prevailed of course.
1t is believed that this is not accord
ing to party usages, and is therefore
irregular. This motion gave the
committee two more votes, W. l..
Ford and f. j. Anderson. With
these two gentlemen added, the COM
mittee consisted Of II members,
which enlarged committee was repre-
sented by ten members and proxies,
leSS tllaH majority.
Without explaining why the call
was sent out rs noted above, Senator
c. p. TOoley, of TwodOt, moved that

Anderson.

that the committee proceed accord
Ing to the call to set Il time for hold
ing county convention to select
these delegates, and make the ap-
portiOnment of delegates to the cOun-
ty convention. This motion was Sec
onded by w. j.. Ford.
There were . votes cast on the sub
stitute, I. no; 2. yes.
The substitute motion was lost, and
Mr.. ToOley's original motion prevail
ed. But before the original motion
was put, Mr.. Small stated that he be-
lieved the committee was exceeding
its authority in proceeding in this
manner, explicitly contrary to the
call of the chairman of the committee,
and it was taking an unfair advant-
age. That if it were even limited in
the call that such step would likely
be taken that more of the committee
would have been present. He was Of
the opinion that the handful of men,

did not represent the political senti-
ment of tie county. That he believe
