CAMPBELL LEADS.
Official Count Gives Him Forty Major
 itY-Contest Certain.

The official count is virtually completed in all the counties of the state and show that Thomas E. Campbell, the republican candidate for governor to have a lead of 40 votes, says the Tomb stone Blade.
 It is practically certain that there will be a contest and a recount of all the votes cast for governor. A temporary injunc- tion will be asked for restraining the secretary of state from is- suing an election certificate to MT. Campbell until after the con- test has been concluded. This will mean that Governor Hunt will retain the office of governor for several months after the first of January. The friends of the governor claim that recount will show that the governor has been re- selected by good margin This claim is made upon the presumption that certain votes cast for MT. Campbell will be thrown out on the recount. In other words it is stated that many electors stamped a cross at the head of the democratic ticket and then plced a cross opposite the name of Thos. B. Campbell for governor, which, it is claimed invafidates the ballot in so far as it affects the candidates for governor. This is nooted question and remains to be de- cided in court. However, should the court decide such ballots to be illegal it is quite certain that Governor Hunt would retain his seat as governor, as it is claimed that several hundred such ballots were cast in the recent election. In that event the case will pro- bably go to the supreme court of the United States and may not be decided for a year or two.

Mrs. Fiske on Woman.

Mrs Fiske is seldom interviewed. and
only on rare occasions, when her great
interest in the subject induces her TO
break her rule. She recently said:
Every woman has a right to be an
individual in the fullest meaning of
the word. She has a right to live to the
utmost. making her life count for the
betterment of the race and the happi-
ness of the world.
working women of all ages are sub
ject to conditions that are detrimental
to their health and a menace to their
morals. In an age when economics
phys SO important a part in the busi-
the economic conservation of the race
should not be taken into account. In
many places where girls and women
are employed the hours of labor are
too long and the kind of work too
hard.
I'm spite of the persistent talk about
the equality of men and women rev
would claim physical equality for the
sexes If the circumstances warrant il
does not seem to me that there can be
any objection to woman pursuing
any rational form of labor. l do think.
however, that there should be more
than work in woman'S life
II would give every woman some
worthy interest in life. I would teach
her some form of expression. into
which she can put her best thoughts. /.
"Expression is one of the essential
things of life Every girl has her hopes
and aspirations. If she has an oppor-
tunity to express them in some form
of work or art she is happy. If she is
denied this means of transmitting her
ideas, or doesn't know how to find the
means, she is restless and unhappy
And often this very reaching out for
some form of expression leads her into
ways that the world condemns. Ele-
mental insistence for freedom is often
stronger than the restraints of social
conditions"
