the suppliant tool of the great in
terests which control this state; by
having a candidate for United States
senator (up for reelection) who has
not hesitated. to cheat the govern
ment out of thousands of dollars by
mailing his campaign letters out on
government stationery and under his
free mailing frank; by having cam
didate for congress who likens the uni
form of the United States soldiers to
that of a skunk; by having governor
who sits in silent approval while men,
bers of his official family use the
prestige and influence of their official
positions for purposes of private gain.
Regarding all of these things the
Democratic press of the state has
not one word to say; not one word of
defense to offer. Instead they are
contenting themselves with heaping
slander and calumny upon the name of
Frank J. Edwards, the Republican
nominee for governor.
The time has come when the peo-
pie of Montana must either rebuke
or endorse the weak and inefficient ad-
ministration which is now in power.

MONTANA GRAINS WON
THE HIGHEST TWARDS

For the second time the exhibits of
the agricultural products of Montana
at the Panama California exposition
in San Diego, Cal, have been awarded
highest prizes in competition with pro-
duets of the world. The announce
ment of the fact was made recently by
Frank Hazelbaker, State Fair Com
missioner for Montana.
In 1915 this State carried off prac-
t.cally all of the grand prizes for ag-
ricultural displays at the California
exposition. The news that Montana
has again won the grand prize for
farm products has created consider
able interest in the agricultural pos
sibilities of the State in the minds of
residents of other parts of the United
States. The awards announced by
Mr.. Hazelbaker are as follows:
Grand prize for agriculture.
Grand prize for potatoes.
Grand prize and gold medals for
vegetables.
Nine siver medals for all varieties
of peas.
Six gold and three silver medals for
all varieties of wheat.
Six gold medals for barley.
Two gold medals for rye.
-Four gold medals for all varieties
of oats.
One gold medals and one silver
medal for grasses and forage crops.
| One bronze medal for corn.

Governor S. V. Stewart is now en-
tering Phillips county on his cam
paign tour of the northeastern por-
tion of Montana and we are wondering
what he expects to receive at the
hands of the voters of that infant
county. 1t will be remembered that
in the session Of 1918 after the bill
creating Phillips county had passed
both the house and Senate with prac-
tically no opposition and with the en-
dorsement of the whole people affect
ed, the Governor vetoed the bill. How
will be explain his attitude toward the
development of the agricultural por-
tion of the state as shown by his Of

In the person Of Hon. Chas. N. Pray
candidate for election to the United
States Senate, Montana finds all the
requisites of an able and honest man.
He demonstrated his ability to Sc
cure legislation favorable to the state
during the time he served as Congress
man from Montana when this state
had but one at Washington. One of
the lasting monument to his beneficial
labors in behalf of the state is the
now famous Glacier National Park,
the bill for the creation of which, he
introduced. "Charlie" Pray as he
is lovingly called is the man for the
place and indications point to his be-
ing elected at the polls on November

ASH.CATS DANCE

The biggest crowd that Glasgow has,
Or ever has been seen,
Will be inside the Gibson Hall
The Night of Halloween
The B. of L. F. and E. will have
With music to attend,
A dance where all who love the fun,
I'm sure will all attend.
The way freight hesitation waltz,
The two-step, the skiddoo,
The symbol march and limited rag,
You'll dance the whole thing thru,
Wen show the hog-heads we're not
done,
Or played out at the game,
Although they try to play us out
On the engines just the same.
Yard engine tag two step. or waltz
Will be enjoyed by each,
Swing with the girl that is first out,
That comes within your reach,
And if another gets your girl,
l pray you don't get sore,
Just go and hunt another up,
There's always plenty more.
Now if you be stranger here,
Come round there just the same,
And if you don't have lots of fun,
You'll be the one to blame.
Happy.

SWIFT AMERICAN AEROPLANE

One Of the most interesting aerial
vehicles of recent development is
shown in an illustration in the Oc-
tober Popular Mechanics Magazine.
1t is new Curtiss model that has
lately been put through series of
remarkable test fights over meas
ured course near Buffalo. The most
striking feature it presents is the to-
tai absence of exposed wires. By
substituting two streamline wing
posts for the customary bracing
strings, the head resistance of the
craft has been reduced so materially
that it has been able to establish a
new worlds speed record for planes
of 1OO-horse power. 1t has been drvi-
en- at the rate of 119 miles an hour
and after some slight changes are
made, it is confidently expected that
a speed of not less than 1875 miles an
hour will be attained. The lower
plane is very short, but sufficient sup
porting area is proven to make the
aeroplane one of genuine usefulness,
not merely a speed machine. During
the tests it has been found that the
craft responds quickly to the various
demands of the pilot. 1t possesses
what is described as remarkable in
herent stability and also manifests
exceptional climbing powers. The
design is expected to prove of great
Importance in the aeronautical world.

$4,000 DEMOCRATS IN REVOLT

"Four more years Of Stewart and
we must needs build two new wings
to the capitol building" said Miles
Romney, who opposed Governor Stew
art in the primaries, and who polled
10000 votes for the Democratic guber-
material nomination.
And 10000 Montana Democrats en-
dorsed his view and voted to oust
Stewart and his gang Of machine pol
iticians. And the vast majority Of
those 10000 forward looking Demo-
Gratis who are tired of machine rule
and who followed Miles Romney and
the progressive platform for which he
stood, are going to vote for Fighting
Frank J. Edwards and the other can
didates on the Republican ticket, who
have the interest of the people at
heart.
The Republican nominees stand for
political housekeeping such as Mon
tana has never seen; they stand for a
political housekeeping that those 12,.
600 Democrats who voted for Miles
Romney, wanted to see brought about
by the Democratic party; they stand

they stand opposed to everything
