THE UNITED STATES SENATOR.

(Erom the Montana Republican,
1t would appear that the cam
paign for the nomination OF cam
tiidate for United States Senator on
the republican ticket is not going
to be permitted to proceed further
without some attempt being made
to Stir up feeling Of acrimony that
seems to be calculated on geograph-
ical lines to cause dissensiOn, and
which if successful would serve no
good purpose nor will it add greatly
TO the prestige OF those who are en-
coura ging it.
This attempt to foist few non
sensical foibles in the form Of in
nuendoes based upon sectional lines
can be characterized by no other
designation than that of being act
uated by minds which are prevented
by petty feelings Of spiteful malice
and prejudice,
Certain It is that the attempt
which is being made to discredit the
campaign which j. E. Edwards Of
Forsyth is making for the nonlna-
ton for United States senator on
the republican ticket, is not being
based upon any semblance oil facts
by those who SO noisily pirate about
the square d al,and who evidently
nope that they can hide behind the
screen il insinuation and quietly
assHsinate the ambitions OF TIE one
whom they have selected 10 be their

Bis Four Of Montana had to victim
I've him, whom they launched theil
unWarrantea attack upon Major I'd
wards has been completely djssa-
pated and transformed into a RECON-
mendation by the fearless and open
reply made rs Mr. Edwards. in
which he throws down the gauntlet
and invites them to drop their gar1
Of hypr3crisy and appear in the ope1
and give opposition to his candi-
dacy dts men, instead Of adopting
the ethods Of the village gossip.
The attempt which is being made
to discredit the candidacy OF Mr.. Ed,
wards for United States senator is
founded upon such himsy pretext
and consists OF arguments so non,
sensical that they make their auth
0rs appear ridiculous and only serve
to disclose the disappointment which
prompts their use.
The foremost charge against Mr.
EdaWrds is that it consists Of glar
ing crime for man from eastern
Montana presuming to aspire to tbs
Office Of United States senator. ant
the oifense seems to be accenuatet
in the minds of his detractors b,
his presumption in daring to expires:

ton of the state which he claim!

Now, bear in mind some of these

some had not, but in no case did
any county get more than her

the counties are setting aside
enough of their tax levy to get
their apportioned amount. We
can do the same.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
The Perfect Hand.

Do you remember the story OF the
Inflated Mary. Queen Of Scots, OF her
attempt to escape from Lochleven
Castle, disguised as washwoman:
All would have gone well had not one
Of the guards caught sight OF her
hands, which were white and patrician.
or course he knew that they could not
belong to hardworking woman OF the
people.
In the case Of most women, beauti.
full hands are not a drawback as they
were to her. but an important asset.
Not only do they add to her general
appearance, but her necessarily con-
slant care OF them proves, in meas
ure, the careful character OF the
owner.
It is not necessary TO be woman Of
leisure. After you have finished your
work is time enough TO care for your
hands. Peroxide OF hydrogen should
be found in every kitchen cupboard. as
1t removes almost every stain. and
cleanses cuts as well. Add a few
drops Of ammonia to a fifty per cent
solution when you use It to remove
stains. Lemon Juice and salt are also
good. while sulphur water is especially
effective In removing ink and fruit
stains.
