people. They regard it as the real in
lex to the situation as set forth il
ais claim for the office he ma be
seeking. What the home folks think
If him is always q pretty clear guide
n making up an estimate Of any man
whether he be a candidate or not.
Below are two editorials which re-
emily appeared in papers published in
Mr.. Riddick's immediate home locality.
One is from the Judith Basin Star,
published at Hobson, which town was
until very recently located in Fergus
county. The other is from the Fergus
County Argus, the well known old re-
liable weekly newspaper of Lewistown,
one of the Oldest in the state.
These newspapers reflect the senti-
nent of the communities in which they
are published. They tell the people
Of Montana just how greatly interested
he home folks are in the campaign of
Mr.. Riddick, and how firmly they stand
behind him:
Making Good

Tor making good" They always seem
% "get results.' If their jitney gets
stuck in a wide, deep, sticky mud hole,
hey take note that here is some
mighty good soil. They get the jitney
)ut today and tomorrow bring back a
buyer and sell him the farm and earn
/ nice commission. If you give them
4 hard job, they do it as though it
we're easy. Easy jobs they get through
with by the multitude, and without
seeming to take up any of their time.
If competitors try to put them out OF
business, they merely smile back
pleasantly, double their advertising
space and start doing twice as much
business. If their enemies begin hand
ing them lemons they start a lemonade
stand on the side and make more profit
out of it than in their regular business.
they are the men who get the big
ihings Of the world done. They gener-
ally start at the bottom, but their
mack of accomplishing things newt
ably brings them to the top. Their
type is the class from which arise a
Jim Hill, a Charlie Schwab and a
Teddy Roosevelt. None of these three
we're what is generally known as a
genius. They were simply prodigious
workers who made every lick count.
Montana has an example Of this kind
Of man in Carl Riddick. He has made
good at everything he has tried. He
tackled some mighty big problems
and worked them out successfully. He
IS working all the time and all his work
gets results. He made the best as
SCISSOR Fergus county eve had. He
lowered taxes on the small farmer who
YES paying more than his share, and
'aised them on a lot of the big fellows
Who were escaping their just proper
ion. 1t was a hard job to upset the
customs of so years and write his
political death warrant. But
2iddick did it, and actually made
riends of the powerful individuals
whose assessments he had raised.
hey had to admit that he was abso-
utely fair and impartial and his fear
essness won their admiration.
Such men make good wherever you :
tut them. They steadily win their
to the top, because they leave be-
ind q record of work well done. The
anne industry and knack of getting re-
ults which makes good in the smaller
obs makes good in the bigger ones.

IN part of the state and reports re- t
,ived by the officers of the Riddick- a
Ex-senator club of this city have been e
{ a most pleasing character. These W

himself, but from interested q

le officers of the club have been in a

efore Mr.. Uiddick returned from

1t gives The Argus unlimited pleas

a iority, are most flattering. Be it IL
id, also, that the club workers are m
