THE PETITIONS
Of CANDIDATES
FEW OF THEM FILED AS VET AND
PEOPLE ARE TAKING LOCAL
POLITICS QUIETLY.
CONVENTIONS ABSORB INTEREST

A few worthy gentlemen, chiefly of
the office holding guild, active or
prospective, are under the delusion
that the local political pot is Just now
fairly seething; that the proletariat
Is standing around in dense masses,
waiting to be fed upon large gobs of
exciting comment anent the local sit
uation. Of course they are totally
mistaken. as gents of their ilk are
prone to be. The people not engaged
in the art of holding office are taking
things very calmly just now; national
political affairs are absorbing their
attention to such an extent that local
politics has suffered an almost total
eclipse. With the primary election
set for August 29. this lethargy may
continue for some time longer but in
July things will begin to hum.
Thus far one republican candidate
has filed petition for nomination
with the county clerk and recorder,
this being Therese A. Lawrence of
Stanford, who aspires to be the party's
candidate for county superintendent.
Democratic Candidates.
The democratic candidates up to
last night, i'll the order in which their
petitions have been filed, are:
A. j. Mclvor, Lewistown, for audi
tor.
John Biglen, Gilt Edge, for sheriff.
r. =. Durnen, Lewistown, for audi
tor.
Mike Gosch, Lewistown, for treas
urer.
w. w. Wheaton, Christina, for clerk
and recorder
Guy Tullock, Lewistown, for sher

G. F.. Budwiscr, Valentine, for rep.
resentative.
ID. j. Mcintosh, Coffee Creek. for

Clark Combs, Winifred, for clerk
and recorder.
A. b. Bernier, Kendall, for sheriff.
Fred b. Ricks, Grass Rangs, for as
SCISSOR.
Fred Skalicky, Lewistown, for jus
tice Of the peace.
There are number of avoWed can
didates for places on the democratic
ticket who will file their petitions very
soon. Among these are Mrs. Leila
Baker, who seeks denomination for
superintendent of schools, and who will
evidently be unopposed in her party
and Marion |. Burke and John O. Gil
kerson, both candidates for the demo
cratic nomination for sheriff.
E. o. Hedrick Here.
E. O. Hedrick, long in the banking
business at Moore and who served in
the legislature at the last session, now
a candidate for the republican nomina.
tion for state treasurer was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Hedrick's candi
dacy seems to be quite popular among
republicans throughout the state, and
it is conceded that he has a splendid
chance of securing the party nomina
ton. 1t is believed here that Mr. He'd
rick would make about the strongest
candidate the republicans could name
for the place

he had three ribs broken when the
breastworks fell on him. He was TAX
en- prisoner three times. He escaped
twice. Once when he got away he
travelled all night as fast as he could.
He thought he was going toward the
northern army. Instead he almost
ran into the southern army on its
march. He looked all around. Where
should he go? There vas a big tree

Another time he was captured with

was as quick as a flash and watched
his chance. He knocked that soldier

Henry Hudson - A School
Composition By Irene
Traul

Henry Hudson was born an English
sailor and was trying to discover a
new route to India around the north
of Europe. The Dutch were afraid
that the English would get ahead Of
them so they hired Henry Hudson.
He sailed on the Half Moon in 1903
from Amsterdam. He was shut out
bv the banks of snow and ice and so
turned around and sailed to Newfound-
land. He sailed along the coast a
while and up the Huson river and
then back home again.
He set sail again the next spring
and sailed up the coast to Hudson
bay.
Winter came on and brought sick
ness to Hudson and his sailors. Some
! of the sailors put Hudson and a few
! sailors in a moat and then 1oated it
into the great Hudson bay.
The large boat sailed away but the
sailors were sick and would have died
if another ship had not picked them
up.
This is a school composition and I
thought would try for a prize. l
remain as ever a Junior.
