organized fight to a finish within the
party will be made on the Democratic
administration in this state, according
to Joseph Kirschwing, of Great Falls,
and Miles Romney of Hamilton, both

Romney served as state senator from
Ravalli county, and was one of the
chief factors in the Peoples Power
League, which was responsible for
placing the initiative laws now in force
on the statute books.
incidentally, Mr.. Kirschwing admit
ted he will be candidate for the nom
ination on the Democratic ticket for
United States senator to succeed H. l..
Myers. Months ago Mr.. Romney an

ENTIRE WESTERN
FRONT IS ACTIVE

London, Feb. 15.--The whole west
ern fighting front is the scene of en-
gagements.
At some points the guns have been
roaring necessarily for days, the in
fantry has been engaged in hand to
hand struggles; grenade fighting and
mining operations have played a prom.
inent part in the battles, while airmen
have fought each other above the
lines and have been cannonaded from
below by aircraft guns.
The Germans followed up their re-
cent success in Champagne by the
capture of an additional half mile of
French trenches around Tahure, in
that district, and the artillery bonn
bardments in the neighborhood of Mas
siges and Navarin have been answer.
ed in kind by the French.
In upper Alsace the Germans turned
loose their guns on trenches the
French had captured from them, but
the French during the night had evac.
uated them and the shelling did no
other damage than to shatter the EN-.
placements.
Seventeen fights in the air is the
record Of Sunday, reported officially
by the British along their lines in
Flanders
In addition there has been great ac-
tivity south of Labasse canal, where
the Germans exploded seven mines.
Heavy bombardments and an infan-
try attack in that section also is re-
ported, the Germans succeeding in en-
tering British trench. They were
driven out almost Immediately.

Dixon For Roosevelt

Senator Joseph M. Dixon, editor of
the Missoulian, announces that he will
be candidate for delegate to the COM
ing republican national convention.
He says: "1n order that no misunder-
standing may arise to the effect that
might be acting with the knowledge or
consent of Theodore Roosevelt or other
real or alleged leaders, in either state
or union, will say that l am taking
this step on my own personal respons-
ibility.'' Again he says: 81 will now
state that my own judgement is that
the best solution of the situation is that
both conventions Republican and pro-
gressive) unite in the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt as the candidate Of
a reunited and, believe, triumphant
republican party"
The primary for the election of dele
gates to the national convention will be
held on April 21st

any kind while on their hunting trip in
the Wolf creek country in Lincoln
county last fall and if the administra-
tion of the game laws here in our coun-
ty had been left to the initiative of our
own capable local officers there would
| have been no unnecessary expense of
5000 or $500 saddled upon Lincoln
county in this exhibition of political
venom that apparently actuated the
prosecution of Senator Brewer and Mr..
Hollingsworth by the game warden s
department.
/ We do not at all believe or subscribe
to the old-time theory that prevailed
in Libby few years ago that the
statutes of Montana, especially with
regard to the game laws, did not apply
west of Wolf creek and we do want to
see the game laws properly and rigidly
enforced but the sort Of exhibition that
the outside officers Of the game ward
ems department made in their perse-
cution of Senator Brewer from Mis-
soula county does not assist at all in
creating proper sentiment and sup
port of the game laws and further pro-
lection of the game in our county,"
The Pioneer believes in square deal
and therefore gives its readers the
privilege of reading the deductions of
newspaper man who attended the
hearing of Senator Brewer and who is
personally acquainted with all the ins
and outs of the case. Every man has his
enemies and every man has his friends.
Senator Brewer has enemies who
would like to see him convicted whether
guilty or not. Some of these men have
censured the Pioneer for not "going
after" Mr.. Brewer, and even gone SO
far as to assert that the paper, or the
publisher, or both, is under the control
of that gentleman. And others, almost
on the same day, asserted that another
business man owned the paper, pub
Usher and all. The fact of the matter
is, certain of Roman people would like
to use the newspaper to get even with
some one, and if they can't do it, then
the other fellow owns the editor. But
just as gentle hint, once and for all,
we state positively that E. H. Rath-
bone is running the Pioneer and that
no man on earth can dictate it's policy
or use it for the purpose of "getting
even, with some one against whom he
has personal spite.
Since the last issue of the Pioneer it
has been announced in the daily press
that charge of conspiracy will now
be brought against Mr.. Brewer. Fail
ing in the first case, another may be
but we doubt it. In case
another charge is made and Mr.. Brewer
is hauled into court, the Pioneer will
publish the facts, but it will not
knowingly be used to besmirch the
name and character of any citizen of
our community to crafty the wishes
or desires of any individual or political
machine.

VALENTINE PARTY
SOCIAL SUCCESS

! The Valentine party given in Scearce
hall last Monday evening by Ross Le-
mire was admittedly the social event
of the season. One hundred and twen-
ty-five invitations were issued, the
major portion of which included two
people, and easily two-t thirds of the re-
cipients responded by their presence,
making it the largest party of it's kind
ever given in Roman.
The dancing hall and three other
rooms on the second floor of the Scearce
block used for the occasion were beau
tifully and artistically decorated, all in
harmony with Valentines day, Ross
Holloway had charge of the decor
ations, ably assisted by Miss Azelie
Savage, Miss Barbara Kain, Mrs. Put
ney, Lloyd Wallace and Charley Allen.
The decorations were elaborate and
elected the unstinted praise of every
guest.
A ladies' reception committee COM
posed of Mesdames Broughton, Ster-
ling, Sheen, Foster Putney, Miss Saw
age and Ross Lemire, and mems COM
mittee composed of Messrs. Sterling,
Broughton. Wallace, Holloway, Stans-
bury and j. A. Lemire, welcomed and
cared for the guests.
Punch bowls presided over by the
Il
Gertrude Lemire were numerous and
always we'll filled.
Excellent music was furnished by the
Roman orchestra of five pieces and
Lloyd Wallace and Ross Holloway as
floor committee, did their work admir-
ably and to the entire satisfaction and
pleasure of the many dancers. Inter-
spersed with the dancing, many pleas
ing stunts were pulled off to the amuse-
ment Of all.
Lunch was served from 11:3O until
80 under the efficient direction of the
Misses Azelie Savage, Hilda Marsh,
Barbara Kain, Anna Rafferty,, Celina
Carron and Winnie Brown, the re-
freshments being provided by the
ladies of Roman.
A prize waltz was one of the features
of the evening and the honor was
awarded to Miss Savage of Roman and
r. N. Shannon of Missoula, and each
drew kewpie to horde up among other
treasures.
The party was given in honor of the
ST. lgnatius Dancing club and that it
was appreciated by the members was
attested by the attendance and un-
questionable good time all gave evil
dence of enjoying from 8 O'Clock until
8 O'Clock in the morning.

Captain Hunt said he had the names

Captain Hunt named Frank Allie

of the men. The names of the alleged
anarchists are said to have been TAX

written in 1913 and are said to dis.

Rome, Italy, to destroy churches and
church property of all creeds.
According to Detective Sergeant

Most of the letters were without sig

The first of the letters, unaddressed

"This," says the letter, will be d
fine thing to throw among lot OF
