GRAND RAPIDS
LOSES AGAIN

Stevens Point defeated Grand Rap
ids four to one On the Stevens Point
ball lot Sunday afternoon Grand
Rapids had the game scaled and on
ice up to the seventh inning when a
bunch of boots put the Point to the
good. Cy Young was hit pretty hard
and the Rapids should have won the
game but as has happened SO many
times when the Point has been the
opponent our team has had a balloon
ascension and lost out. What our
team needs is a little more head work
especially on bases. We get men on
but can't get them across. A lit
tie team work when men are on
would help win. There is rumor
going around that a certain PUBLIC
SPIRITED??? individual, whose name
We won't diVulge at this time, took
some of the Rapids players up to
the Point on Saturday Aug. 3rd pre-
ceding the Sunday game on Aug. 4.
and tried to get them Intoxicated and
then bet on the Stevens Point team. A
man who is such traitor to his home
town ought to be tarred and feather
ed. Make the ball players play ball.
The citizens are paying them to
play ball and TO put Grand Rapids
on the map as a base ball town.
Make them play ball and cut out
boozing. Most Of the team keep with
in reason but it is said there are
some who drink quite a lot.
Booze and good ball playing don't
mix. It's up to the manager to see
that the booze is cut out and that
the people who have come across with
their money, that Grand Rapids may
have ball team, get a square deal

From present indications, one of the
greatest political demonstrations of
the campaign in Montana will be that
of tomorrow evening, when the people
of Lewistown will have an opportunity
of seeing and hearing number of
candidates for state and county Offices
at a meeting, which will be held In
Culver's opera house. "A recOrd-break-
ing crowd is expected and those in
charge of the arrangements are pre-
pairing to handle the multitude to the
best possible advantage.
That old war-horse Of democracy,
David Hilger, has been selected to pre-
side over the gathering, and you can
place your bets that Uncle" David
will see to it that there is something
doing every minute.
Stewart for Governor.
Sam " Stewart, democratic cand1.
date for governor, will be the prin.
cipal speaker, and the big Virginia
City attorney is assured of one OF the
most cordial receptions received dur
ing the present campaign. Mr.. Stew
art has most pleasing personality
and is very forceful speaker. He Is
devoting his addresses to discussion
Of state issues, which are of interest
| to every voter, and performs that task
in mastery manner. Dan M. Kelly
candidate for attorney general, is an
other fine talker, who has made q
highly favorable impression on his
long tour of the state. BILLY" Rae
of Red Lodge, candidate for state
treasurer, doesn't attempt any ora
torical pyrotechnics, but is one of the
most popular candidates on the state
ticket and is making a winning cam
paign. The two local men on the state
ticket, H. A. Davee, candidate for su
perintendent of public instruction, ani
Tom Stout, candidate for congress
will be present and will deliver talks
All of the county candidates will alst
be on the platform and some of then

born and raised near Gilt Edge and
the people In that country for miles
around made last nights rally the
biggest ever held there as mark Of
respect and honor to the sterling
young man whom they contributed to
the democratic legislative ticket. II
was freely predicted that Harvey
would get every vote polled In Gilt
Edge and Maiden precincts and that
the entire democratic ticket would be
carried along with him by handsome
majOrities. All the speakers were en-
Enthusiastically received and the meet
ing was on every hand pronounced
the biggest success ever and 1t was
universally predicted that Gilt Edge
would give the entire ticket unheard-Of
majorities. There were about $50 peo-
pie In attendance. Time and space
forbids us giving this splendid meet
ing the detailed attention 1t deserves,
but it will 60 down in history as the

from this city were in attendance.
John Weidenborner, that old-time Rock
creek bench democrat, presided and
acquitted himself with great honor.
Besides addresses by G. J. Marshall
and the legislative candidates, John
A. Coleman delivered an address that
was well received.
The next meeting was held at Forest
Grove last Thursday night and there
was only standing room In the large
school house, where the rally was
held. The same enthusiasm marked
this gathering as has characterized all
the meetings held by the democrats
during the present campaign.
Thursday night a good meeting was
held at Flatwillow, and Winnett turned
out good crowd Friday night. There
has not been meeting during the
entire campaign that has not shoWI
more interest and enthusiasm thar
during any previous campaign. The
encouragement given all candidates
forces the prediction that the demo
cratic county ticket will win from tol
to bottom and the state ticket will re
ceive substantial plurality in Fergu!
county.

given the closest attention and enthu-
siasm ran high from start to finish.
The climax of the meeting was
reached while Charley Marshall was
addressing the gathering when Roy
Ayers made his appearance In the hall.
Grass Range is the home Of the popu-
lar democratic candidate TOR district
judge. He had been campaigning in
Meagher county and was not expect
ed to attend the Grass Range rally,
but by special effort he arrived short
iy after the meeting had started. His
appearance was greeted by a demon
stration such as was never before wit
messed in Grass Range and it was sew
eral minutes before the atmosphere
was free from hats and the noise suf-
ficiently quieted down to permit Mr..
Marshall to proceed with his speech
There was not man of the 800 per-
sons in the hall who did not join In
the hearty welcome given Roy Ayers.
Later speaking of the reception given
him BY the home folks, Roy remarked
that he considered it one of the great
est receptions he had ever received
and one that would live in memory
as the supreme honor of his career.
After the cheering subsided, Mr..
Marshall continued his speech, which
was made up Of a tribute to the demo
cratic county ticket. Messrs. Burnett,
Jewell and Drinkard, legislative can
didates, then made addresses, which
were enthusiastically received. John
Phillips, the other candidate for the
legislature, gave his time to Roy
Ayers, who gratefully thanked the
friends OF his childhood and told the
paaple Of his home precinct how much
he appreciated their reception. He
was visibly affected when he referred
| to how proud he was of his Grass
Range friends four years ago when the
returns showed that his home pre-
cinct had practically cast solid vote
for him.

Last nights meeting at Gilt Edge
was practically repetition of the

Leod at Bozeman. He is survived by
the widow and two brothers residing
in Missouri and a sister living in
Kansas.
Mr.. Warren was good citizen IN
every way. He was man of the
highest integrity, and although he nev.
er sought prominence in any public
way, was held in esteem by all with
whom he came in contact. He was q
member of the Lewistown lodge OF
Masons and of the chapter, having at
one time held the office Of high priest
and was a member of Black Eagle
commandery, of Great Falls.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning from the Masonic temple and
was very largely attended by members
of the fraternity and others. James
M. Smith, master of the lodge, pre-
sided, and comforting address
breathing the spirit of Masonry, was
delivered by Rev. George Hirst. rector
of st. James Episcopal church. II

heard in the temple ON such an oc
casion.
At the grave the Masonic ritual was
carried out.

Council Meeting Last Night.

The meeting of the city council last
night did not develop much new busi-
ness. Mayor Marshall and Alderman
Traywick were absent and Alderman
Brice presided. Much of the time
was devoted to matters connected with
the proposed addition to the fire hall,
some complications having arisen.
One of these Is that Contractor Fowlie,
who was given the contract for the
heating and plumbing, does not care
to accept that alone, as his bid was In
tended to apply to the whole job, al
though segregated.
The telephone company was in
structed to set It's poles on the edge
of the curb instead of in the center
Of the grass plots.
An ordinance covering the storm
sewer bonds was passed.
