ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL AC-
cEPT NOMINATION FOR
SENATOR. s
URGED BY HIS FRIENDS
Progressives Throughout the State
Are Lining Up to Place Full Tickets
in the Field in Every County
Judge Roy Ayers Clearly Defines
His Position.

For long time past ]. E. Lane has
been strongly urged by his friends to
become candidate for the nominal
ton for state senator on the Demo
cratic ticket and he has finally been
prevailed upon to enter the lists. Mr..
Lane has formally announced that he
will accept this nomination should the
voters see fit to select him at the pri-
mary nominating election to be held
in August.
Mr.. Lane has resided here for many
years and is generally recognized as
one of the ablest business men in the
county. He is essentially practical
man and his associates rely upon his
splendid judgment. Mr.. Lane has been
student of legislative matters for
years and he will undoubtedly prove
a very strong candidate.
Progressives in Line.
A prominent Lewistown man, who
has had wide experience in state
politics and who recently travelled
over considerable portion of Mon
tana, stated yesterday that every
where the Progressives were lining up
and preparing to have complete coun-
ty tickets in the field this year. A
strong Republican himself, he said
that from all he could learn there was
not the slightest chance of an ANAL
gamation of Republicans and Progress
sives in Montana this year.
Judge Ayers Position.
Before leaving for Choteau yester-
day, Judge Roy E. Ayers, in comment
ing briefly upon the mention of his
name as a possible candidate for rep
resentative in congress in, the event
that Congressman Tom Stout should
decide not to run again, said:
II am not thinking about such a
nomination at all, nor would l even
consider 1t except in the event that
Mr.. Stout should positively declare
himself not to be a candidate. He
has not done this SO far and until he
does do not think any eastern Mon
have himself considered as a candi-
date.
Should Mr.. Stout make the an.
nouncement that he is through, it will
be time enough for me or any One else
who might aspire to the position to
become candidate. Until then / do
not wish to be considered in connec.
tiOn with the matter.
$50 far as l have been able to as
certain, there is no real ground for
assuming that Tom Stout will not ask
for denomination, and IL he does
seek denomination expect to see
him get 1t without any opposition at
all, and l am most unqualifiedly for
him all the time"

COUNTY FARMER CARL PETER
SON PREPARES SOME
STATISTICS.
ACTUAL FACTS
They Show the Necessity for Lower
Grain Rate to the Markets-Matter
Considered by Railway Committee
Of the Chamber Of Commerce-The
Distributing Rate.

The railway committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce met yesterday after
noon, with President q. ]. Wiedeman
in the chair, the other members pres
ent being J. E. Lane, A. w. Stoddard,
c. c. Simonson, w. d. Symmes and
r. w. Reynolds. w. d. Symmes was
appointed to represent the Chamber
at the rehearing before the state rail-
road commission at Helena April 20
on the proposed reduction of the dis
tributing rate. Some time ago the
commission reduced this rate five
cents per 100 pounds and the railways
came in with request for rehear-
ing which was granted.
The Grain Rate.
OF very much more importance is
the hearing on the grain rate to be
held at Helena April IA and the ap-
pointment of l.. D. Blodgett as the
Chambers delegate to this was con-
firmed. Carl Peterson, the county
farmer, has been busy for some time
collecting statistics bearing upon the
cost Of grain growing in Fergus coun.
ty. He has tabulated figures on twen-
ty farms, showing the whole cost of
producing wheat here. This is shown
to be SIN cents, from the putting Of
the seed into the ground to the ship
ping and allowing s per cent on the
value of the ground.
Mr.. Peterson's figures are based up
on actual facts and cannot be success
fully attacked. They show what a
very small margin Of profit there is
in growing wheat with the present
railway freight rate to the market cen.
ters.

Padded Pavrolls.

Theo Manus, a Greek foreman of a
Great Northern section crew, was
tried before Judge B. H. Foley last
Tuesday afternoon on a charge of
padding the payroll during July, Au-
gust and September. Richard Miller,
special agent of the Great Northern,
was the complaining witness. BY
stipulation of counsel the complaint
was amended and after part of the
testimony had been put in, Manos was
allowed to plead guilty to charge
OF petit larceny and was let off with a
fine of 500 and 60 days in the county
Jail. The fine will be paid and 1t is
hoped by the railway company that
this will prove warning The de-
fendant was liable under the original

With the new store building com
pleted and in use, making one of the

With the site secure and the plans
fully completed, Father V. ]. van den
Broeck is resting in the matter of the
erection of the new Catho ic church
on Brooks island. The splendid edi-
flee is, OF course, certainty, but it
Is not yet certainty that it will be
built this year, although there is little
doubt that work will be started this
season.
Link & Haire also completed yes
terday the plans for the fine, modern
garage to be erected by the Lewis
town Auto company. This will have a
frontage of so feet on Janeaux street
and will extend back toward Main
street so feet. Bids for the construc-
tion of this building will be received
on April 20.
New Homes.
The architects are all busy now up
on plans for medium-priced residences
and they agree that the new homes
will represent the larger part of the
expenditures in the building line in
Lewistown this year. They are not
yet able to give an estimate as to the
number Of these residences or the to
tai cost, but are confident that the rec
ord of last season in this line will at
least be equalled.

TR|UMPHS OVER HOBS0N
Result OF Long Contest in Which the
Whole Nation Was Interested
Close Contest for The Short Term
Results of Some Municipal EIec-
tions in Montana.

Birmingham, Ala, April 7.-Indica-
tiOns early today were that Oscar W.
Underwood had triumphed over Rich
ard p. HobsOn in the Democratic pri-
mary contest for the nomination to
the United States senate. Owing to
the complexity and length Of the bal
lots, complete returns probably viii
not be received until tonight.
The prOtracted struggle for the
nomination terminated with a record
breaking Democratic vote. Interest
in the contest for the short term In
the United States senate, the nOmina-
ton of ten congressman, governor
and other state and county officers,
also brought thousands to the polls.
Both Mr.. Underwood and Representa-
tive Hobson are in the city watching
returns. Shortly after midnight Mr..
Underwood made the following state
ment:
II am thoroughly satisfied. The
splendid majority that the returns in
dicate will be given me in the state
attribute to the magnificent work my
friends have done for me in my alb
sence. The result, feel, is a personal
vindication and distinct approval of
my remaining in Washington and at
tending to my official duties. But
after all is said, the final conclusion
must be that it is more Of victory
for fundamental Democratic principles
than for myself"
Incomplete returns from more than
40 of the 67 counties of the state indi-
cate a close contest between Ray
Rushton of Montgomery and Frank s.
White of Birmingham for the nomina-
tion to the short United States sena-
tOrial term. Watt T. Brown OF Rag
land apparently was Outdistanced.
While 1t seemed probable that for
mer Governor B. B. Conner would re-
ceive plurality, the hopes of his fol-
lowers that he would receive a ma
jority were considered doubtful. The
contest between r. F.. kOlb, Mont
gomery, and Charles Henderson of
Troy, for the same nomination, fluc-
tuated continually.

volume containing the Declaration OF

Brooklyn, presented one of the old
wooden pipes of the organ of Zion

1878. which is quite curio. 1t was
secured by deacons of the church
while the church was on fire. The
nipe is in good state of preser-
vation and was apparently hewn by
hand in a design of the willow whistles

Just like the youngsters of all
times, Master Gerald Meyer, aged 12
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph w.
Meyer, of 40S Crescent street, was
taught songs and rhymes when he was
baby. Gerald, however sang those
baby songs just the least bit better
than the average baby. When he was
little more than year old, he sang
that once popular song, bill Baily"
from beginning to end.
Not so very much attention was
paid to the little fellow though, un-
til about fifteen months ago when he
took part in cantata at the Market
Square Presbyterian Church. At that
time his voice was considered so re-
markable that his parents decided to
allow him to study music. Since that
time he has improved wonderfully and
has taken part in q number of enter
tainments about the city and vicin-
ity.
Gerald will be one of the drawing
cards at the vaudeville show to lie
given in the basement of St. Francis
Church, Market street, near Fifteenth,
It Tuesday and Wednesday even
i IS. He will appear in a miniature
minstrel act, "A Few Mirutes of Min
|strelsy" as the boy so0rano soloist and
interlocutor. With him will be as
sociated George Sutton, Benjamin f.
Glass, Wilson Ebersole, j. Thomas
Keesey, M. William Kennedy, Howard
Hitz, and two well-known fun max
ers, George c. Martin and Ralph e.
Schrack.
Master Gerald Meyer is the son of
Joseph ". Meyer, conductor of the
wreck train of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad.
