second time he has run for office.
He has made, however, close and
thorough study of politics and polti-
cal economy. He has studied events
not so much with a view to advance
ing his personal fortunes as to learn
the truth and to see what should be
done and what should not be done
in order to bring about the advance
ment and happiness of the American
people.
1t was seemingly the guiding hand
of fate that took Wilson into the
political arena. Previous to becom-
ing governor of New Jersey he was
president of Princeton university and
it was as such he came into renown.
He was a democratic university pres
ident and he strove to make Prince
ton a truly democratic school-a
school without class or caste and
where character and ability only
should count. He was successful in
large measure but some of his
plans for the abolition of snobbery
were opposed by the regents and for
this reason Wilson resigned and ran
for governor of New Jersey. 1t was
a logical step because the evils
against which he fought at Princeton
have origin in our political and eco
nomic life and not in the realm of
education.
Wilson's record as governor Of
New Jersey is so we'll known it is al
most needless to dwell upon it here
He proved that in his own instance
at least the scholar in politics Is
triumphant success. He was elected
governor in a state hopelessly repub-
lican. He then ruled an opposition
legislature as though it were COM
posed Of children. He ruled because
he knew what to do and he had the
ability to put his ideas forth in such
light the legislature could not get
away from him. Reform after re-
form was adopted in spite Of the old
traditions and the opposition OF the
machine bosses of both parties. New
Jersey was regenerated.
Governor Wilson's strength comes
mainly from his clear, well balanced
mind and his wonderful grasp OF ar
fairs. He knows and knows that he
knows. He is clean and straightfor-
ward. He dislikes machine bosses
and corrupt financiers. They serve
no good purpose and obstruct the
general good instead Of advancing 1t.
In his presidential campaign Cover
nor Wilson would have no such back
ing and he would stand for no du-
plicity. He left that to his rivals,
Wilson has the faculty Of getting
support upon a high basis. He con-
vinces men that he is right and they
support him from principle. BY his

When Roosevelt threw his hat into
the ring last spring the East Oregon
ian commented as follows.
Roosevelt will probably not be able
to win the republican nomination
away from Taft but he may so
harass the fat man that he will not
appear to good advantage when he
comes forth for the final race in No
vember, particularly If at that time
there should be a long legged man
upon the track"
Thus far the prophesy is alright.

THE RECORD IS SILENT.

The Montana Daily Record. pub
lished at Helena by our friend DR..
Lanstrum, is the recognized republi.
can daily of the state. 1t is a good
paper and has wide circulation.
But the doctor seems to be undecid-
ed just which faction in his party will
win, and is not taking any active part
in the preliminary battle between the
stalwarts and progressives.
The other big dailies in the state
are either owned or are in sympathy
with the Amalgamated-Stand Oil
combination and are professedly DEM
ocratic in politics. These papers are
making daily attacks upon Roosevelt
and Taft, and the republicans in the
state who look to the good doctor to
say something are sadly disappointed
and deeply chagrined at his silence.
However, when the convention at
Great Falls is over, the ticket nomin-
ated with the doctor as the republic
can candidate for governor, it is be-
lieved he will come out of the cave Of
Abdullam, unite the warning factions,
and lead us to a splendid victory at
the polls in November.

is determined to beat Senator Dixon
for reelection to the United States
senate, because that corporation can
not control him.
The republican state central com
mittee recently met ut Helena and
adopted fulsome resolutions favoring
the denomination Of President Taft.
The Amalgamated Copper company
through this committee would lead
the people to believe that President
Taft is the choice Of the republican
voters of Montana. and that Senator
Dixon is not the choice OF the repub-

OdOre Roosevelt:
lie went into this campaign for the

A WARNING TO THE BOSSES.

At the meeting Of the progressive
republicans at Helena last week,
Judge Cheadle made Il stirring speech
III which he is quoted rs saying:
The legislature last winter pas
sed a bill by which the conven-
tiOns can nominate a candidate
for senator. This measure should
be entitled "A bill for an act to
prohibit Joseph NJ. Dixon or
ThomasJ. Walsh from ever being
candidates in Montana for United
States senator"
lie expressed the conviction
that three-fourths Of the people Of
Montana, republicans and demo-
Gratis alike, are prOgresslves at
heart, and that unless All unfOr-
seen, sinister influence, which
has dominated the nominating
conventions in the past, withOlds
its hand from medling in the NOM
nations this fall, that the social
list vote this fall will be Il SUR
prise to the state.
Judge Cheadle has travelled all over
Montana and is better posted OH pub
lie sentiment than possibly any other
man. OF course, the Amalgamated
will not give up control Of the repub-
lican and democratic parties without
Il struggle. Its friends will attempt
to nominate candidates that it can
control. The fight will be a bitter
one in the conventions, and il the cor
poration wins, it will be II tiercer one
at the polls.
The people Will eventually win, as
they always do when they are arous-
ed, but there VIII have to be many
sacrifices made, as the fight will be
against the strongest corporation in
the world, which will not hesitate to
spend millions to destroy all opposi-
ton.
Judge +. X. Cheadle and Senator
Thomas NJ. Dixon will bear the burnt
OF the battle Oh the republican side,
while Thomas j. Walsh will marshal
the democratic hosts against the big
corporation.

legislature, farmers could organize
for their own protection against loss
from hail at a very reasonable cost.
At present thousands Of dollars go
out of the state every year to old line

The old lire comp mics will insure to
the amount of $40 an acre at per

they do business in several states,
