told the women he had every confidence
that the members of their sex would live
up fully to the newly imposed obligations
of the franchise. He also urged that
there be no segregation Of women in a

at the Harding home since Thursday and
Charles Warren of Michigan, Colonel

lonely Democrat left east of the Allie
gheny mountains" and called ON bis

part I did play / played in keeping with
my conscience and the properties of poll

There were those who urged that l

their legislatures to act on the amend
ment. I could not do that. DO not
believe in any trespass of power or
exertion of authority.
II beg of you, and through you of the
womanhood Of the United States. not TO
makeup your minds as voters along the
lines of prejudice or getting even. Give
your conscience and your convictions in
making UP your minds on public ques-
tions.'

Democratic Judge

Over G. @. P. Route
Special to the Daily Tribune.


Fort Benton. Aug. 27.-Although
entering the recent primary cam
paign as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Judge of the
district court for Choteau county
Judge John J. Tatten emerges from
the campaign as the Republican can
didate for Judge and it is likely that
he will go before the voters Of his
old district next November for re
election upon that ticket instead of
the one upon which he has appeared
for many years.
Although always a Democrat Judge
Tatten has been elected and re-elect-
ed quite a number of times in
strong Republican district. He came
mp this fall for nomination as a can
didate for reelection but went down
to defeat with the other straight
Democrats before the Nonpartisans
who appear to have captured every
place on the Democratic ticket in
thouteau county.
However. the Republicans had no
candidate for nomination for the
judgeship and about 300 voters wrote
III the name of Judge Tattan upon
their ballots and he therefore becomes
the Republican candidate for the
November election and as such will
oppose A. G. Waite. Of Big Sandy,
the Nonpartisan candidate who de-
feated him for the Democratic nom
ton.
