road running from Pleasant valley

There has been some doubt con-
cerning the feasibility of this road
because it cuts the 1000 acre ranch

says the right t-efway will be grant

Popular Libby Man
Weds kalispell Girl

Interesting from many stand
points was the wedding of Mr..
Webster Ransom and Miss Kather-
inc Disbrow which was solomnized
at Christ church, Wednesday even
ing, September IS, at half after
500 o'clock.
Before the altar they were joined
in holy wedlock, the ring service
which sealed their VOWS having
been especially made at Tiffany's
from gold nuggets which Mr.. Ran.
som procured from his mines at
Libby. Inside were engraved the
names, Katherine and Webster -
and the date of their marriage.
Immediately after the departure
of the wedding party, the guests
went TO the home of Mr.. and Mrs,
E. S. Bisbrow on Fourth avenue
east, where a reception was held.
The house was decorated in the
same color scheme of blue and
maize, these being the colors of
Mr.. Ransom's class at college. Re-
freshments of cake, ice cream and
coffee were served on the porch
which was screened with greens
and lighted with festoons of electric
lights. The long tables were dec
Grated with mountain ash berries
and leaves. The table for the
bridal party was decorated with yell
low chrysanthemums, yellow cam
dies shaded with blue. Here the
bride cut the cake, and then hur-
ried away to dress for the wedding
journey. Mr.. and Mrs. Ransom
went to Columbia Falls by auto.
mobile and there took the west
bound train for Spokane. After
spending a few days there they
will go east to New York and other
cities, Upon returning they will
make their home at Libby where
Mr.. Ransom's business interests
are.
There were scores of the most
exquisite wedding gifts of embroid-
cred linens, china, silver, cut glass,
beautiful blankets, and everything
which is dear to the heart of a
bride. From the grooms uncle,
who, it is said, had a hand in max.
ing this happy match, came as a
wedding gift, check for $500 and
several family heirlooms of silver
and china which are very valuable.

W. B. GEORGE NOW
RANK BULL L00SER

w. B. George, who, fortunately for
the democratic party, and more for
tunately for the whole people of the
State OF Montana, was recently de-
feated by Hon. Sam V. Stewart for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor Of Montana. has joined the
bull moose party. He announces
that he will not support the dem
ocratlc nominees for governor and
lieutenant governor, Stewart and
Mcdowell, but will vote for Frank
]. Edwards, the bull moose candi-
date, and will do all he can TO Sc
cure the election of Mr.. Edwards.
That's good, 1t will help defeat
Edwards and it puts Mr.. George
where he belongs. In any polt-
ical party w. B. George is a neg
atlve asset. His active opposition
is the most valuable support he can
give to any candidate for public
office. Nobody trusts Billy George
in politics in recent years; he can't
even trust himself. He shifts and
slides and shuffles, always striving
to get where people must see and
hear him. Encircled in a halo of
corral dust and accompanied by a
noise making ma shine of prodiglous
proportions, he has trayersed Mon
tana for years as the man who has
done everything that has been done
to make Montana rich and great.
By persistent proclamation and pub
lication of himself he succeeded
IN convincing many good people
that he is man of dependable and
sizeable character 1t is fair to say
he has been a successful and re-
sourceful advertiser.
But in defeat he has given the
large public his real measure. He
is right at home in the ranks of the
spite party. In almost every essen
tial regard he is a Roosevelt, ex
cept III the trifling matter of ability.
His ego is hav-stack size; his whole
mental machinery could dance the
turkey-trot on the point of a pin
and meyer be dangerously near the
edge. He can't lead and lie won't
follow
Posing as a democrat he entered
the Great Falls convention seeking
the nomination for governor upon
platform of personal falsehood
ana misrepresentation. For months
before the convention met he
secured the state soliciting. the sup
port OF men whom he thought
would be delegates, all the time,
The Libby herald. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1911-1913, 1912-10-03

meanwhile, publically protesting
that he didn't want the nomination
and couldn't afford to take it should
it be rendered to him. Following
the example of his illustrated pro.
totype the Terrible Teddo, rampsed
up and down the state vociferously
declaring that he didn't want the
nomination which he was paying a
crew of agents to force upon him.
In his blind anxiety to get nom
ination which he says he never
sought, Mr.. George did not hes
ltate to malign and misrepresent
some of the cleanest and best men
in Montana. To the farmers in
the Judith basin, to the mechanics
i'll the shops at Miles City, to the
laborer in the harvest fields of the
Yellowstone he peddled his silnper-
ing story about the way he was
being prosecuted by the big corpor-
ations. Al the farmers picnics he
took on the very proportions Of a
political gladiator and told how he
would whip all the corporations
from hell to breakfast if only some
one would come along and hold the
light. He was the Big Jobberwok
of Political Virtue, the Sole Guar
dian of the Sacred Seal of Truth.
In his campaign for civic right
eousness and political freedom, Mr..
George told, and encouraged his
friends to tell, contemplate false
hoods concerning his rivals for the
nomination. Any man who was
not in favor of w. B. George for
governor was promptly posted as a
corporation tool, a traitor to the
common people, base hireling of
the interests, amounting himself
with the meadow mcyonniase, which
he has exuded SO copiously for
years, as he pranced into the arena
shouting to the corporations to
come and get him, For it is motor
ious that Billy can be got.
His nasty and discreelitable CAM
paign of slander and falsehood
failed; his misrepresentation didn't
deceive enough of the people; he
was beaten in as fair and free
contest as ever marked a political
contest in this state. Like a cap
tured coyote he continues to snarl
and display his i'll will. But he is
harmless. The public is on to him.
