Papers over the state are already

advancing can0l0ateS Tor the OlHerent
state Offices to be filled at the general
election next fall. It is generally
conceded that the state Of Montana
will elect a republican governor as
as we'll as a republican senator and
two congressman at the next general
election and the Courier believes that
in Hon. E. o. Selway of Dillon, Major
]. E. Edwards of Forsyth, Hon.
Charles N. Pray of Fort Benton, DR..
O. M. Lanstrum of Helena and DIR.
G. w. Clay Of Malta, will be found
the proper material for each of the
above mentioned Offices. Each and
every one Of these men have proved
their worth, not only to the republic
can party, but to the state of Mon
tana as a whole.
All of these gentlemen have an
enviable reputation for past services
rendered the Treasure State.
The Big Timber Pioneer in bringing
forth the name of Major J.. E. Ed
wards for the office of United States
Senator says:
"Coincident with the visit of Sen
ator J. E. Edwards of Forsyth, to
the annual meeting of the Stock
Growers Association at Miles City,
mi a report that the gentleman
will be a candidate for the republican
primary nomination for United States
Senator next year, to succeed Hon.
Henry L. Meyers. The announce
ment is made by the Miles City In
dependent, which states that the Ma
jor himself refused to stand commit
ted either for or against the pro-
position.
Granting that Major Edwards will
be a candidate, on the suggestion of
many personal friends and admirers
throughout the state, The Pioneer de-
sires to second his nomination, for
the following reasons:
He is the foremost republican in
Montana today.
He has always been a loyal and
consistent worker in the party, even
at times when others permitted them
selves to be shunted from the main
republican line onto silver republican
and bull moose blind sidings.
He has served the party with ener-
gy and ability as chairman of its
state central committee.
He has been the majority leader in
the state senate when his party was
in control; the minority leader when
it bowed to the will of opposition.
He has been the most indefatigable
worker in that body; the best posted
of any member on the needs of Mon.
tana; having at all times within hi:
grasp the merits and dement's of tn,
multitude of bills introduced in tn,
two houses.
He has served Uncle Sam as Grow
Indian agent; has also been fedora
Inspector of the Indian reservation
west of the Mississippi river.
He has spent the greater part o
his life in this state; has followe'
the occupations of cowboy, cattleman
merchant and banker, and nc man il
Montana is better posted on its polit
ical, business, industrial and agricul
tural life than he.
He is the best posted mar in Nor
tana on irrigation; and irrigation, il
time, will make this state the great
est dairying state in the union.
He is in the prime of life, sur
charged with fred blood"; an arts
in rough and ready debate, and il
presenting his views on any measun
