considering the candidates in
dividually, the ticket presented
by the republican party to the
voters for their support at the
coming election is one of unus-
ual merit and strength and one
which the opposing parties have
not matched. There is no con-
ceivable reason why republic
ans should not vote the ticket
and work for it this fall, There
are, we believe, in this cam
paign, as in all others, good and
sufficient grounds for a careful
consideration of the ticket by
all voters, and the party has
nothing to fear from such a con-
sideration. The candidates in
dividually and collectively on
the republican ticket deservedly
make a strong bid for the sup
port of the independent voter as
well as for that of the straight
republican. The ticket being
what it is, the party looks for
ward with entire confidence to
the result.
A word to the voters of Teton
County concerning the repub-
lican candidates, by the way Of
information, will not be amiss.

county. having served them ef-
ficiently and faithfully In pub
lie capacity. Their records as
officials and as citizens stand
without the need of apology or
defense.
The other candidates, while
not so well known to the voters.
by reason OF not having held
office, commend themselves
equally to the voters. John w.
Coburn, who is making the race
for the state legislature, is a
prominent attorney of the coun-
ty and has an enviable reputa-
ton in his home town of Cut
Bank and surrounding country
as a citizen of upbrightness and
integrity. c. S. Mcdonald, also
on the legislative ticket, has a
wide acquaintance in the coun-
ty, being among the early set
tiers. For many years he has
been engaged in farming and
stock raising in the county, and
needs no introduction to the
people. That he is qualified to
serve the people in the state
legislature, there can be no
doubt. Equally well known is
w. ID. Jones, candidate for COM
sion 3r for the six year term.
who is serving at present as
commissioner by appointment.
Mr.. Jones is as thoroubhly ac.
quainted with the interest of
the county as any man in it.
and the fact he was appointed
to fill out the unexpired term of
Mr.. Marsh at the time of the
creation of Toole county is suf-
ficient recommendation, if he
had not other numerous quail
tiles to strengthen his candidacy.
c. James Smith, on the ticket
for the office of auditor, is bet
