SID J. COFFEE PRESIDENT
OF SATTE FAIR DIRECTORS

Sid j. Coffee of Missoula, was
elected president of the State
Fair board at Helena last week.
He was a director last year and it
is to be hoped he will have a bet-
ter exhibit from Missoula county
next time while he is president
than he had last year while only
a director, Visitors from Mis-
soula county were reluctant to
answer from what county they,
were from when the only eys

MINERAL COUNTY PETITIONS ARE
FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK

Petitions containing Asa names
were filed with County Clerk
Babbington last Saturday of peo-
pie living in the west end of
Missoula county along the Couer
branch. asking for the
creation of Mineral county. 1t
was stated that out of all the
voters asked to sign the petition
only IL refused.
This fact would indicate that
the sentiment in that section is
very much in favor of the new
county and that the final result
of the election when called will
never be in doubt.
With a revenue such as the
new county will be able to col
lect and with men identified with
the country to spend it, they
should receive value for the
money they pay as taxes. This
they assert they have not re-
ceived in years past. 1t is stated
that the total revenue for gen
eral county expense will be above
$50, 600 on a levy the same as
they are now paying, and with
economy in county expenditures
they should be able to reduce the
levy to much less amount thar
they are now paying.

WILL COMPLETE EAST SIDE.
ROAD BEFORE Qu|TT|Njc

The report comes from Flat
head county that the board of
county commissioners have de-
clded to complete the east shore
road along the lake before quit
ting work. They have number
OF convicts now engaged in this
work and will continue them on
the job until the road is built.
At last accounts there was only
a short sttetch, from seven to
nine miles, unfinished, and the
work is progressing rapidly.
This road will be an induce
ment to tourists to pass this way
when it is finished and it will
shorten the time between Mis-
soula and Kalispell almost one
full day. From Roman the road
will be easily accessible, as there
will be two routes one could take
to get to the new road either one
of which will be good. The new
road is being made full 60 feet
wide and there are no hills to
speak of from the extreme south
ern extremity of the lake to Big
Fork, and this alone will be of
great convenience to autoists in
taking their summer trips and
vacations It will be especially
attractive to worlds fair tourists
who contemplate an auto trip
across the continent and will en-
able them to visit both parks on
their westward journey.

ments ever advanced why the
women of the country should be
granted the suffrage. When
their influence is always for the
advancement of better conditions
and opposed to the element en-
gagged in the liquor business there
should not be any hesitation on
the part Of the voters in extend
ing to them the right to have a
say in the regulation of civic
matters.
The women are fortunate in
having the saloon men of the
state opposed to them in their
fight for the suffrage. This fact
alone will make them many
votes.

RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS TO
FIGHT WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The daily press last week stated
that the saloon men of Butte
were organizing to fight the
amendment to be voted on at the
November election, granting
women the right to vote. The
news item stated that the saloon
men viewed the matter in the
light of an attack on their busi-
ness and that to prevent the
women voting them out of busi-
ness when they were granted
the suffrage, they (the saloon
mem would make an effort to
prevent the women from being
allowed to vote at all.
That is one of the best argu-

There will be minstrel show

March 10, the proceeds to go to
the base ball fund. There is a
deficit left as a legacy from last

to pay it off. Every lover of the

mean more of the sport here

ROMAN DEMOCRATS
BECOMING ACTIVE

Victory is the element which
creates greater enthusiasm than
anything else, and the Roman
democrats are becoming alert to
the Importance of keeping their
organization alive and working,
1t has been so infrequent that
they have enjoyed the result of
an election, and feeling that to
renew and continue the battle is
a large part of the fight, they
met last Thursday evening to
elect officers for the ensuing
year, Not that they received
much recognition two years ago
when the selection of candidates
was being made, but because
they are democrats and intend
to stand by their colors, come
what may. They have hopes,
however, that at a primary
election, now that Montana has
discarded the boss-controlled con-
vention system and relegated to
the background the wire pulling
and convention corrupting poli-
tician, some of their number may
draw a lucky number and be
selected to serve the people at
the county seat. To further this
hope and to be ready to do their
part they have organized for the
campaign which will soon be in
augurated in Missoula county.
From the number in atten-
dance there must be number
willing to sacrifice themselves
for the good Of their party. Fifty
now adorn the list of members
and while all who were in atten-
dance may not be active candi-
dates, it is not thought there
will be any difficulty encountered
in securing enough to fill all the
places on the ticket if necessary.
Local matters, it is true, may
have been the cause of such a
large number turning out last
Thursday evening. All is not |.

Immediately upon the meeting
being called to order, the har-
mony feature was as plain as the

LARGE CROWD
HEARS SHAW

A large and appreciative audi
ence greeted Prof. Shaw Tuesday
afternoon at the opera house to
hear his talk on Farming and
Dairying.'' With Prof. Shaw
came O. C. Gregg of Minnesota,
who needs no introduction to
most farmers, Prof. Cooley of
the agricultural college, and
other speakers secured by the
farmers institute division of the
college who, are now holding
meetings in many sections of
Montana,
Prof. Shaw is an easy talker,
one who puts his audience in ex-
cellent hnmor right at the start,
and who talks In 3 strain anyone
can readily understand. He pre-
ferred to talk to the farmers
from the floor of the opera house
rather than from the platform
and got right next to his hearers
and told them of the mistakes
they are making and how to cor
rect them.
At the outset he began by ask
ing for information, saying that
he would be unable to advise
them unless he new their troubles
and after being informed that
the principal industry was raising
wheat, and that the price re-
ceived per bushel at Ravalli was
about So cents, with a % mile
wagon haul, and that eggs in
winter brought 40 to SO cents per
dozen, he inquired with earnest
ness, why don't you raise
eggs?" The question answered
itself. He told them of the ab-
solute uselessness Of attempting
to make money raising any kind
of grain for the market and ad-
vised the farmers to grow chick
ems, pork and dairy products. To
do this successfully he said that
it would require three things,
pasture, winter feed and grain.
Pasture could be secured by SOW
ing one of several kinds of
grasses, including alfalfa, sweet
clover, red clover, and winter
rye. All these different kinds
would afford excellent pasture
for both hogs and cattle and with
corn for fodder for winter use,
and such grain as they all should
be able to raise on their farms,
the problem of feed would be
solved. With chickens, hogs and
4 few cows he thought that our
farmers should have no trouble
in making a living and a profit,
but with strictly grain raising for
the market the result would be
failure here just as it has been
everywhere else the attempt has
oeen made. Taken from every
angle, Prof. Shaw's talk was di-
'ectly to the point and contained
many good ideas and suggestions

primary law so that the average
voter can understand it's pro-
visions. This opinion was made
so that some of the confusion at
tached would be removed. Here
is what he says the law really
provides and means;
On Monday, August "a, 1914,
will be held the first general
primary nominating election in
this state under the law initiated
and passed by the people at the
last general election. This law
provides the only and exclusive
method whereby a candidate of
any existing political party for
public office may have his name
printed on the official ballot at
the succeeding November elec-
tion. The law, however, does
not apply to persons seeking pub
lie office who are not members
of any political party, but who,
nevertheless, desire to run for
office on an independent, non
partisan ticket; such persons are
not concerned in the primary
election law, for the procedure
to be followed in such cases is
printed in Section 524 of the Re-
vised Codes of 1907, and their
names may be printed upon the
official general election ballot
only in the manner as has been
customary in the past. The idea
sought to be conveyed is that the
primary election law applies to
political party candidates and to
none other.
No qualified voter in this state
will be permitted to vote at the
primary election unless his name
appears upon the official precinct
register of his residence on cleo
tion day. Those who were reg
istered and voted at the last gen.
eral election will not be required
again to register. In fact after
a man once registers he will not
again be required to register as
the law now stands, so long as
he maintains his residence and
votes at every general or special
November election held in his
county.
1t, however, any voter hereto
fore registered failed to vote
at the general election in 1912
Or has since changed his resi-
dence he must visit the county
clerk, if he resides within ten
miles of the county seat, Or
justice of the peace or notary
public if he resides a greater dis
tance therefrom, and again take
the proper steps to re-register.
Registration books for forthcom-
ing primary election will be
closed throughout the state on
Satur' y, July Is, and thereafter
no or.c will be permitted to reg
lister for the August election.
! len the voter enters the
10th to vote he will be handed
many ballots as there may be
political parties having candi-
dates for nomination in the field.
These ballots will be securely
fastened together and from the
number the voter may detach
only the one of his party, which
ever it may be, and when he has
it, and is ready to vote, i
he will return to the judges the
unmarked ballots as we'll as the
one he has voted; the former will
be deposited by the judges in
the blank ballot box and the lat
ter in the official ballot box.
The names of all aspirants for
party nominations will appear on
the ballots in alphabetical order,
and there is no limit to the num- =,
Der of names which may thus ap- |
pear, the only condition being
that tho candidate for ,,oyo;,,

NEW PRIMARY LAW IS INTER-
PRETED BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

ton has previously taken the
necessary steps to insure his
name appearing there. 1t will
thus be seen that one may not
vote split ticket at primary
election. True. the law recog-
nizes his right to vote for any
person whose name is printed on
the.oficial ballot and will permit
him to write in the name Of any
person for whom he decides to
vote.
Party nominees, under the new
law are now required to wage
battle in two campaigns; the
first. a sort of free-for-all scram-
bic for nominations and the Sec
ond for the office at the general
election as of old. The staid old
convention system with it's much
maligned and more or less tabled
Wire pulling and intriguery, has
made way for the new and, in
this state, untried method of
placing party nominations d.
rectly in the hands of the people.
Buttonholing in the future by
over-zealous and designing poll
ticians will be with the voter and
not with the convention dele
gate. The candidate for nomin-
alton is required in the first in
stance to file a copy of his nom
ination petition signed by HIM
self in the office of the secretary
Of state, if for a state office or
district comprising more than one
county, or for judge of a district
court; and if for county office or
office for a district within one
county the copy of petition is to
be filed with the county clerk of
the proper county.
Within the week preceding any
biennial primary election each
registered voter will receive
through the mails a series of
pamphlets equal in number to
the political parties having cam
didates in the field. The size of
these pamphlets will be six by
nine inches, but the number of
pages each will contain must be
left to conjecture, for all depends
on the number of candidates in
the field seeking nomination.
These pamphlets will be illum-
mated with the portraits of the
office seekers, coupled with argu-
ments in favor of each specif-
cally enumerating his good points
and advancing reasons why each
should be elected to the same pc
litical office. Each candidate may
have not less than a full page, or
if he is financially able to pay
therefor, he may have as many
as four pages of matter depicting
his good qualities.
If, however, he be a seasoned
politician it is more than likely
that he will have made enemies
in the past, in which event there
may appear next to his statement
an argument directly opposing
his nomination over the sigma
ture OF the enemy. Thus the
voter will be supplied with the
pros and cons anent the candi-
1ate. IL he be unacqualnted
with the numerous men from
whom he must choose he may as
a last resort find guidance in the
literary argumentative state
nents, or perchance rely alone
IN the portraits and from them
select one depicting in somber
nien the smiling likeness of the
;acrificial man who looks most
