John B. Ritch. democratic state COM
mltteeman from Fergus county, re-
turned home last night from Helena,
where he attended meeting of the
committee Saturday. He stated that
there was little friction during the
session, which was pleasing contrast
to the recent session of the republi.
can committee in that respect. There
was only one difference, which was
over the apportionment Of delegates
to the state convention and that was
quickly smoothed out through the
adoption of compromise resolution
which was presented by Mr.. Ritch
himself. Everybody was well satis-
fed when the session closed and the
prospects for united party in Mon.
tana were never so bright as at the
present time.
