Fred B. Gillette
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Fred B. Gillette was born in Chi
cago, Ills, in 1883. He was educated
in the public schools of that city. After
graduating from the South Division
High School, he was engaged until
1904 in the fire insurance business.
This experience is important to him
at this time. For years attempts
have been made to pass some legisla-
ton in this State to remedy the de-
fects in u insurance laws. So far
our legislation has been largely for
the benefit of the insurance companies
instead of the policy holders. Fred
Gillette knows the insurance business
and will bend every effort to aid in
enacting legislation to protect the pol
icy holder.
In 1904, Mr.. Gillette located on a
homestead three miles west of Hins-
dale. At that time dry-farming me-
thods had not been applied to farm
ing. The Milk River Irrigation Pro-
ject was in the process of organiza-
ton. His efforts were gratiously de-

1914 Justice Holloway received the

didate on the Republican state ticket,

elected on the Republican ticket.
Justice Holloway was born near
Kirksville, Missouri, November 8, 1887.
He was reared on q farm, attended
country school and private boarding
school. Following his graduation from
the state normal school he taught in
public schools for some time. He
graduated from the Law department Of
the University Of Michigan in June,
1892, and engaged in the practice of
law at Bozeman. In 1900 he was
chosen Judge Of the ninth judicial dis
trict, serving until he val made a

voted to forwarding that project.
While awaiting it's completion he
tried his luck at dry land farming and
has been successful.
He has given special study to or
CARNATIONS for marketing farm pro-
ducts, and is one of the best informed
men in the state upon that subject.
To make these organizations more
effective some new laws are neces-
sary. Such measures will receive Mr..
Gillette's support.
During the past 8 years he has
been U. S. Commissioner at Hinsdale,
and has acquired a thorough know
lege of land law. Mr.. Gillette has
represented a local lumber company
at Hinsdale for several years. He is
married and has one child.
Members of the Legislature are
called upon to solve problems of vital
Importance to the State and should
have broad experience. You will find
Mr.. Gillette excellently qualified for
this honor.

BOOST MONTANA ROADS
JOIN new ASSOCIATION
Every Automobile Owner Should Take
Interest in Putting Over the State
Bond Issue

If YOU own an automobile and want
good roads to drive over, you're IL!
Today, tomorrow, the day otter, OF
some day right soon you are going to
be labeled and fittingly branded as an
honest-to-goodness good roads booster
and builder, who wants real roads and
is willing to pay your just proportion
of their cost.
The process of rounding up brand
ing all such road builders and boosters
will be put into motion this week by
snecial committees of the Commercial
Club, working under the direction OF
Secretary L. E. Jones who has charge
of the distribution of Montana High
wav Improvement association member
ship buttons in this county, and who
said that Valley county will show up
with as high a percentage as any
county in the state when the final
count is taken.
The membership buttons are to be
placed at so cent each among automo-
bile owners and friends of automobile
owners who ride often enough to ap-
preciate what an improved system OF
highways will mean to the state.
The primary object of the Highway
association is to carry on a campaign
for the $4,000, 900 road bond issue
which will be voted on at the Novem-
Der election. Following the election,
it is proposed to form the organization
into a State Automobile Club, which
will foster legislation and regulations
in the interest of the automobile own
ers Of the state. g
Proponents Of the measure point out
that only by large bond issues will a
comprehensive roads program be pos
sible, and that the roads built and
used by the present generation must
be partially paid for by future gen.
erations who will likewise benefit by
the improvements.
The principle Of issuing bonds for
road building has been likened to the
plan of building a house and paying
for it during occupancy, when it is
impossible to pay for the erection en-
tirely at the outset. It is a matter Of
borrowing in advance to meet present
requirements.
Owners of automobiles and motor
trucks, generally, are in favor of the
highway improvements which will be
made possible by the bond issue funds
and are willing that the license fees
paid by them shall be applied TO pear
the burden of cost, which, in the long
will mean a saving in gasoline
and tires far greater than the cost Of
better roads.
