Republican nominees, state, legisla-
tive and county, in the main will be
elected, and Republican policies will
be adopted at the polls on November
z, according to all indications now ev-
ident over Montana.
Reports from every corner of the
state are to the effect that Congress-
man Carl w. Riddick, heading the Re-
publican ticket as the nominee for
United States senator, will be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority to a
certainty. This prediction is not made
by Republican party leaders alone, but
is being conceded by some Of the con-
servative Democrats, who declare that
they are predicting the situation as
they see it. The big lead gained by
Mr.Riddick is also predicted to carry
with it the entire state Republican
ticket.
Legislature to Be Republican.
Reports are to the effect that the
majority of the counties will elect Re-
publican legislative members for both
the house and senate. In the primary
election the Republicans nominated a
majority of state senator's, who are
known to be in favor of reform tax
alton program as has been advocated
by Governor Joseph M. Dixon, who
has taken the personal leadership in
an attempt to bring about changes
through legislative enactment in the
next assembly that will result in re-
lief for the farmers, home builders and
merchants, and indications are to the
effect that these Republican nominees
will be easy victors at the November
polls.
Following the prediction of Mr.. Rid
dicks apparent victory at the coming
election, is the general belief that
Washington Jay Mccormick, Repub-
lican nominee for reelection in the
First Montana district, will be re-
elected to congress, and it seems to
be foregone conclusion that Scott
Leavitt, of Great Falls, Republican
nominee in the Second Montana dis
trict, will be elected congressman
hands down. Everybody predicts his
election.
Other Nominees to Be Elected.
No one, either Republican or DEM
ocrat, doubts the election of Judge
Lew L. Galloway, of Great Falls, as
chief justice of the state supreme
court, and the same sort of a predic-
tion is made for Judge A. P. Stark
of Livingston, Republican nominee for
associate justice. Dan Boyle, Repub-
lican nominee for reelection as state
railroad and public service commits
sioner, and Dana M. Easton of Poplar,
Republican nominee for clerk of the
supreme court, have been adding to
their support rapidly. Late reports
bring the information that Mr.. East
on's and Mr.. Boyle's election can be
considered assured.
Campaign Brings Results.
Under the direction Of Chairman
Joseph D. Scanlan, of the Republican
state central committee, in charge of
the headquarters in Helena, the Re-
publicans have conducted the character
of campaign that always brings re-
suits in a political contest of the ma
ture of the one prevailing this fall.
The state has been Systematically COW
cred with a force of the most capable
speakers Montana possesses, and
these speakers have carried the mes
sage of the Republican doctrine to the
people in a sensible, clean-cut, digni-
fled, forceful manner. These speakers
have made sincere appeal to reason,
instead of indulging in fault-finding
and personal attacks on candidates of
the opposition party. Best of all, the
Republican speakers have been favored
with large gatherings of voters in
every community, proving that the
people are anxious to hear arguments
in favor of candidates and policies
that will support the present state and
national Republican administrations
The conservative and constructive ad-
ministrations President Harding has
conducted in Washington and Governor
Dixon has inaugurated for Montana
have won substantial support from
the masses, and it cannot be contra
dicted the situation in this campaign
has proved that the voters in Montana
propose to elect members of congress,
in both the senate and house, in the
state legislature and in the state Of
fices, whom they feel they are assured
will keep faith with the sentiment of
the vast majority of their constitu-
ents.
Have Faith in Riddick. ...
Congressman Riddick, heading the
state ticket as the Republican nominee
for United States senator, has taken
the lead in detailed tour of the state
In his campaign addresses he has out
lined the program followed in con-
gress the last four years and in the
last year and half President Hard
ing has been at the head of the ma
tional administration. Mr.. Riddick
has found that the people of Montana
are eminently satisfied with the
achievements accomplished as the re-
suit of the Republican program, and
that unanimity of feeling prevails
that Montana, always willing to give
a patriotic response. should do its
share towards the continuance of such
