Affects School Trustees

According to advices from Helena,
Attorney General Kelly has submitted
an opinion on the school law to State
Superintendent of Instruction Davee,
in which he holds practically that vot-
ers at school elections have the right
to vote for anybody they may choose
for school trustees, the right to put
on the ballot the name of any person,
and are not limited to the nominees
of any meeting or convention.
The last legislature passed a law,
affecting only school districts of the
first class, which provides that no per-
son shall be voted for school trustee
unless he has been nominated at a
bona fide public meeting. The at.
torney general holds that this is un'
constitutional, as violating provisions
of the constitution empowering cleo
tors to vote for any eligible person.

DEATH OF W. 6. CONRAD
Early Day Resident Of Fort Benton
Won Fame and Wealth

The announcement of the death Of
William G.. Conrad, which took place
Friday at his eastern home in Virgin
la, was not unexpected by his Mon
tana friends. Mr.. Conrad had been
seriously sick since last November,
and the nature of his illness discour.
aged expectation of recovery.
Mr.. Conrad began his remarkably
successful carer in Fort Benton nearly
fifty years ago as clerk for the firm of
I. G. Baker & Co. He was about IS
years old at that time, but he proved
to be such a useful employee that he
became a member Of the firm about
four years later. The business Of the
firm was eventually controlled by the
Conrad Brothers, William G. and
Charles E. Conrad, and included mer-
chandising, steamboat transportation,
banking, cattle raising and other ex-
tensive interests from which large
profits were derived. In a few years
the Conrads were recognized rs two Of
the most successful business men in
Montana, and their financial resources
were applied to various enterprises
that assisted in the development Of
the country and added to their wealth.
w. G. Conrad will be remembered
by residents of Fort Benton as the
first mayor of this city after it was
incorporated. He also represented
Chouteau county in the territorial leg
islature was a member of the Chouteau
county board of commissioners and in
early days took active part in local
matters of a public nature. Mr.. Con
rad made his home in this city for sew
eral years, removing to Great Falls in
the eighties and later taking up his
residence in Helena.
In recent years Mr.. Conrad devoted
most of his attention to the banking
business, in which he had a most sue
cessful record. His first venture il
this connection was the First Nationa
bank of Fort Benton, which was es
tablished in the early eighties, ant
later became the Northwestern Ma
tional bank of Great Falls. Other in
situations were organized in Helen,
, and other cities, the Conrad interest
dominating in five banks that are il
t operation at the present time.
III MI. Conrad va a democrat in pol
: tiles, and on several occasions mad
r unsuccessful efforts to secure election
to the United States senate. He was
t prominent figure in state and nationa
:. politics in recent years, his name ha,
/ ing been presented at one time as
receptive candidate for the democrat
|. ic nomination for vice president.
al There will be general regret throug1
i out Montana over the loss of a citize
/ who has taken such a prominent PAL
e in the development of the state. Nj
Conrad's record of success was a tril
ute to his ability as a mar of affair
and his relations with his fellow citi
zens.
