Wilson is Notified.

SEA G1RT, N. j., August 7.-Gov.
ernor Woodrow Wilson OF New Jer-
sey was informed officially today that
he had been chosen BY the o attic
national convention at Baltimore as
the nominee for the presidency.
Briefly and simply Governor Will
son was notified of his nomination by
Sen ator.elect Ollie j James of Kentucky,
permanent chairman of the Baltimore
convention, who emphasized a he
said that the governor had received
the honor untrammeled by oblig atione
and unembarrassed by affiliations Of
any kind. Though the governor spoke
in acceptance theoretically to the S:
members OF the committee, represent.
Ing each state and territory in TIT
United States, the speech sounding thu
depths of his POLITICAL philosophy
was heard by q great throng.
After thanking the committee of no
LITIGATION and expressing his profound
sense of responsibility In accepting tn
nomination, the governor said b.
realized that he was expected to speal
plainly, to talk politics and open th'
campaign Sin words whose meaning
no one need doubt" And he was ex
pected to speak, be added, to tn
country as we'll rs to the committee.

time for their work which nature
meant they should have. But If that
does not answer the question then let
US remember that the steady division
and subdivision Of the great ranges,
the influx of homesteaders, the fencing
off of water courses, the conversion OF
ranges into farms-sll these successive
steps have served to diminish the area
of land available for cattle raising In
the great west. While this has gone
on, land in older states has appre-
ciated in value to an extent that
makes live stock less attractive than
other pursuits.
When beef brings 90 so on foot, as
1t has just done in Omaha, sensible
people must think this subject over
very carefully.

THE BEEF

Reports from eastern livestock mar
kets indicate q big shortage in the
beef supply, and prices are making a
new record. With Montana range
cattle selling close 10 the $500 mark
and corn fed stock at q still higher
figure, it 10 evident there is no relief
in prospect for consumers of beef who
complain about the increased cost of
living.
In discussing the causes that have
resulted In q scarcity of cattle at the
large market centers the Omaha Bee
says:
During the first six months of 1912
the total cattle receipts at the six prin-
cipal live stock markets showed q de.
cline of 420, 900 head as compared with
the same period in 1911. The feeding
lots in the country contiguous to
Omaha have fewer cattle in them than
they have had since they were estab.
lished, and it is said that the receipts
Of western range cattle will be less
than for many years.
These facts are full of significance.
We are eating our young beef taste,
than our rangers can make them into
finished products. This will lead te
just one end-an impoverished sup
ply, and what that will mean for tn,
future, what 1t means for the YER!
present, cost Of living is not beyon,
the comprehension OF any thoughtfu
person. Here, then, is q potent facto
in the general problem OF the livinl
cost. Our people demand the bes
beef, the young beef, and are no
satisfied with the older. We can no
eat our egg and save 1t at the sam
time.
But why, it is asked, are not tn
ranges keeping pace with the deman'
for beef. Largely because OF nature
own deliberat laws. Cattle are no
produced in filters. as are swine. AN
one head of cattle can not be mad

High Finance In Family Circle

THE LAW.

In the call which has just been is-
sued by the democratic state central
committee for the democratic state
convention, to be held at Great Falls,
Aug. %, there is named among the
duties of the state convention the
nominating of q candida ate for United
States senator. This is in accordance
with the new law passed at the last
legislative session, approved by the
governor on March l, 1911. The com.
ing fall will be the first time in Mon
tana that the voters Of the state have
had the privilege OF expressing their
preference for United States senator.
The e law provides that candi.
dates for United States senator shall
be nominated at the political party
state conventions in the same manner
as the nominations for state officers
are made. Nominations for United
States senator may also be made by
petition as we'll as by the party con.
ventions. It Is provided that the cleo
ton proclamation of the governor
shall contain q statement 20 the effect
that at the coming election the electors
may vote their preference for any OF
the persons nominated for senator
appearing on the official ballot.
But while the people may thus ex-
press their preference for senator, the
actual election may still be in the
hsnde of the legislature, the members
OF which may disregard the preference
expressed by the people. But all
candid ates for the legislature are re-
quired TO sign n or two statements,
so that the people may know how they
stand and whether or not they will, il
elected, vote for the senatorial candi.
date who is the preference of the ma.
jority of the voters of the state.
The first statement required OF legis.
lative candida tes ia IS follows: 81
state to the people of Montana, as well
as to the people of my county, that
during my term Of Office I will always
vote for that candida for United
States senator in congress who has re
ceived the highest number of the PEG.
ple's votes for that position at the
general election preceding the cleo
ton of a senator in congress without
regard to my individual preference
The second statement is: "Durine
my term of Office I shall consider the
vote Of the people for the United
States senator in congress as nothing
more than q recommends alton which
shall be at liberty to wholly disre
gard, ii the eason for doing so seem
to me to be sufficient"
1t will thus be seen that thos
Legislators signing the first state
ment will be in honor bound to vote
for the candidate for United State,
senator who has received the highes'
popular vote. while those signing the
second statement will be free to do q
they please. At the opening Of tn
legislative session the governor i
required to transmit q certificat
showing the number of votes r~eceive'
at the election by each candidat a
returned by the state board of can
vassers and the members OF the legis
lature will be expected to govern them
selves accordingly.-Anaconda Stand

Now, over in the Senate, the republic
cans have a margin of six. Those re-
pu3lioans who are contemplate voting
the progressive ticket do not realize that
they are casting half vote to wipe out
tbs republican margin In the Senate.
For instance: Should the progressives
take away sufficient woes from the re-
publican parry to permit Mr. vii on to
carry Illinois. two democratic senators
will be elected. Should Iowa go demo
crate for the same reason, 1t VIII mean
the election of a democratic senator a..d
the wiping out of the republican contro.
of the Senate. Thus it will be an easy
matter to get favorable acton upon tue
free trade Iills which the House would
surely enact.
Now, how could We then prevent free
trade? Should Mr.. vii on be elected
the.e would be no republic an President %
veto these free trade bills as President
Taft has vetoed them. and as Gov Wilson
is known to be a man of honor. and as
the democratic platform explicitly de-
clares for free trade in q mo den i, al
language to the platform upon which
Cleveland Vas elected, q little thought
