rich Company. 1.-THE necessity for ade-
quate facilities to perform this appiica-
ton work has become more urgent.

for dependable service, we have recently
installed a now 1bo-ton electrically

At the first meet. in 1909, Merz won the

this gala occasion. The meeting
will be strictls of a public charac
ter and married men are request
ed to bring their wives, and the
bachelors are expected to bring
their young ladies'. A Woman's
Woodrow Wilson club will be
formed Immediately after the adj
dresses have been made.
One of the most favorable in
dications of the meeting was the
attendance of such a large num-
Der of out of town democrats,
representing some of the larger
districts of the county. These
men left the meeting with the
feeling that in the coming cam
paign they are TO have the same
representation in the councils of
the local democracy as the city
members. No fayoritism will be
acknowledgement and harmonious
cooperation will be the key note.
Fred Yale of Marsh made a few
remarks in which he promised to
canvass the situation in his and
neighboring precincts with the
idea of enrolling all the democrats
in his part of the county as men,
bers of the new organization.
State Representative John Rainey
of the Lindsay country stated
that the residents of his neighbour
hood were a unit in their unstint-
ed praise of Woodrow Wilson,
both as a president and as a man,
and he gave it as his personal
opinion that great many voters

encies, while they were not open

silent vote on election day this
November for President Wilson
and the national democratic ad-
ministration generally.
Guy C. Stephens, better known
perhaps as "Tenny" of Circle,
spoke along similar lines and
stated further that a straw vote
taken last week in the Redwater
Valley town, showed a result of

he voters being republicans.
George Davidson of Paxton
said that the political sentiment of

'idered a republican stronghold.

AT the call of Chairman Des
mond j. O'Neil of the democrat,
county central committee, a CRANE
rally of the Dawson county dem
ocrats was held last Saturday
evening at the county court house
which rivalled in enthusiasm, il
not in actual numbers, any similar
gathering of the flowers of JEFF.
ferSon ever held in Eastern Mon
tana.
One of the real features of the
evening was the attendance al
the meeting of w. H. McClung of
Cohagen, who made the trip via
auto stage to Miles City and from
there to Glendive by train, the
long and arduous journey being
made solely for the purpose of
attending this, the first demo-
cratic county meeting of the COM
ing campaign.
The meeting was called to or
der at $50 o'clock by Chairman
O'Neil who briefly outlined the
objects and purposes of the initial
gathering, after which, County
Treasurer Chappell was elected
temporary secretary. Upon mo-
ton of Judge C. C. Hurley, the
proposition to form a permanent
Woodrow Wilson club was I'M
animously carried, and the Off
GERS of the new organization ell
ected forthwith, and unanimously,
as follows: Ole Lee, president;
Charles F. Rainey, j. w. Duncan
and Mrs. C. C. Hurley, vice-pres-
idents; August j. Colin, treasurer;
and Warren F. Miller, secretary.
The new officers were then in
stalled and took charge of the
meeting from that time on, en-
rolling everyone present as a
member in the new organization.
After Chairman O'Neil had read
a letter which he recently receiv-
ed from Mrs. Rose Rusk, presi- |
dent of the Democratic Woman's |
club of Butte, it was unanimously |
decided to send Mrs. C. c. Hurley
as delegate to represent the
Dawson county organization at
the convention to be held April
"a to 26 at the mining metropolis
Mrs. Rusk also invited as many
candidates for office this fall as
possible to attend the big meeting
Judge Hurley was then ap-
pointed to arrange the details of
