err day by day the candidacy Of Con
gresham Carl w. Riddick for the
Republican nomination for the United
States Senator gains strength daily
Mr.. Ridick's splendid record during his
two terms as congressman from the
Treasure state and his untiring eff
forts in behalf Of the agricultural in
terests of the state has done much to
make him by far the strongest con
tender in the field today.
"Riddick for Senator" clubs are be-
ing formed over the state and his many
supporters are working night and day
in the interests of his candidacy.
The Lewiston "Riddick for Senator"
club has recently prepared an interest
ing folder which contains the follow
ing statements regarding Mr.. Ridick's
candidacy:
To the Voters of Montana:
We talks pleasure in presenting the
name of the Honorable Carl w. Rid
dick as a candidate for nomination as
United States Senator from Montana,
at the primary election Of August goth,
1922.
= In presenting Mr.. Ridick's name
we beg to submit our reasons for so
doing.
The justification for Mr.. Riddick's
candidacy is found in the quality and
amount of the services he has rendered
to the people of Montana. He seeks
nomination as a Republican, but his
services have been rendered impair
TALLY to all the people Of Montana.
Avery large number of the people of
this state have been the recipient of
personal services at the hands of Mr..
Riddick.
On public matters his record has
been that of a consistent Republican
and loyal supporter of President Hard
ing's administration. He has been 10y
al to the interests of Monana and has
refrained from participating in any
local controversy, and has, in all his
serevices, been fair to his constituents
without reference to party affiliation.
His experience in two busy terms in
the lower house has given him a fine
training for a larger place and great
err responsibility. His well known en-
ergy, good health, his acquaintance
with farm problems, his knowledge of
public affairs and problems all recon-
mend him for the larger RESPONSE
bilities of the senatorship.
His fidelity to his promises, his wide
acquaintance in Montana; his record
in four successful campaigns, are all
indications of his great strength with
the electorate of the State.
Among other matters we desire to
refer to his record in the fol-
lowing particulars:
He has supported economy in public
expenditures; has always been a
strong supporter of temperance and
the enforcement of law; has consis-
supported the administration in
all large matters of public policy; has
supported every measure for the bet
of farm conditions; the Ma
Budget System and the Budget
Bureau. ,
Mr.. Riddick voted for the emergen- ,
y terlff, especially designed to pro- {
:ect the agricultural interest, and for ,
he Fordney tariff bill of July 7th, {
1921; the bill providing for coordina- {
