NEXT TUESDAY is
PRIMARY ELECTION DAY

| Next Tuesday is Primary election
! day in Montana and voters will 70
to the polls and say by ballot who
they wish to have as the nominees for
the various county. state and congress
sional offices.
| On the Republican ticket there are
many candidates for state offices but
for county offices there Is hardly any
opposition, only for state senator and
county commissioner-four year term.
eOn the Democratic ticket there "
quite few candidates for state o.
fices and also quite a nnmber Of con-
tests for county offices, and a few
that have no opposition at the primar.
les. Locally things are getting inter-
esting and all candidates are working
hard to go "over the top
The big fight in the state is nail
Iurally for governor. On the republicnni
side it looks like close race betwe61l
Dixon and Ford, and we believe NJ
Cone county Republicans are goine
go for Ford. On the democratic
the fight is between Mcdowell =,
Wheeler, both of whom are consid
ed good men, although lot of prQr
ganda HIS being circulated agnfl
Wheeler because he received the fa1t
mer and labor endorsement and ~
not wanted by the big mining int
ests. Wheeler will carry McG
county if we are any Judge.
In the present primary campaign n z
Banner has taken but very little + NJ
tive part, but we wish at this
to say few words in regards to III
candidacy of Florence W. Stephe1k.
who seeks the democratic n0minati01
for the office of county attorney.
Personally we have known Mrx.
Stephens for more than seven yearas
or ever since we hit the city of Circ1es
We have known her while Homestead
ing and farming and later as bur
mess woman and lawyer, at which
profession one can truly say she hab
made good" AS an indication of her
success as an attorney it might be
we'll to mention that sd far she his
not lost ONE case in district court
against the county attorneys office.
and we call that splendid showing, |
besides having been very successful
in many other cases.
We feel from experience Mrs. Step /
hens has gained as homesteat3ef, |
business woman and lawyer that she I
Il well qualified to administer 44E
dnties q the county a1tunSys of1fEf
In an efficient and satisfactory man
ner, and confident that she viii con-
duct the affairs of the office fairly and /
Mrs. Stephens has the distinction of
being the only lady attorney practic-
ng in eastern Montana. Now then
having the qualifications and exper-
ence, and a splendid record since
,racticing law here, why not give her
he nomination and then elect her
county attorney of McCone county.
She came to this section of Montana
,ver ten years ago and was among
he pioneer homesteaders, and under
stands the needs and conditions of
his county through actual experience.
Remember her and give her boost
vhen you go to the polls next Tues
lay.
Another candidate we should like to
zee receive the democratic nomination
S X. F. Kirchner, at present one of
he board of county commissioners.
Ar. Kirchner happens to be the only Il
andidate for county commissioner
rom the Circle district and not only ,
5 this territory entitled to a commits !,
ioner but dad" is good man for
be job, He has rendered the people !
f the county good service as MEM I
er of the present board and from ex- ,
erience gained in the past will be .
BILE to do still better in the future. +
Ir. Kirchner has always been found :
, be on the square and has endeav- :
red to serve as commissioner honest
and faithfully. Mr.. Kirchner was ap s
ointed commissioner at the time Nc
one county was created. Why not
eep him on the job for two more
ears. 1t only takes your vote to do :
