REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
CERTAIN NOVEMBER 7

a beneficial program by electing Re-
publican nominees for every office.
Governor C0nvinces People.
Governor Dixon, in his campaign ad-
dresses, has done yeoman service this
year for the Republican party. He
has proved to the people Of his state
that he has been without fear in his
leadership in behalf of the common
classes. Wrestling the control of state
government from hands of corporate
terests as he led the Republican
party into power at the state Capt.
tol, Governor Dixon listened to the
desire of the masses for a complete
change in the system of conduct of
the state administration. He made
close, personal investigation Of the
condition of the state government and
of the conduct of the state institu-
tions. Then he went to the homes of
the people, pointed out the system
that had been in vogue since early
statehood days, exposed the corruption
that has existed since Montana had ad-
vanced from territorial government,
pointed out what he honestly and sin
cerely believed should be inaugurated
in the way Of changing state systems
and state laws, if the people in gen
eral are to be given relief, and the cor
porations are to finally assume their
fair and just share of the burden of
governmental operation and mainte-
nance.
Masses Respond.
In the main, people seem to have
agreed with what Governor Divon has
proposed. AS he has explained the
situation in the various towns and
communities, he frequently has heard
exclamations from his audiences as he
was about to conclude his remarks, of
"more, more, Governor, go ahead, we
want to hear it alp giving the assur-
ances that the people are anxious to do
their share in supporting the Cover
nor in what he proposes to do in he
half of the people, who have faith
fully labored against political odds in
their efforts to develop the resources
of Montana. Governor Dixon's influ-
ence has had telling effect in hold
ing the people within the Republican
ranks.
Washington J. Mccormick, Of Mis-
soula, and Scott Leavitt of Great
Falls, Republican nominees for con-
gress, have been no slackers in going
before the people in pledging their
promises to be faithful in their ef-
forts to bring benefits to the people
OF their home state through federal
action. The people have faith in Judge
! Lew L. Galloway and Judge A. p.
Stark as proposed members Of the
state supreme court, and they have
given assurances that other functions
will not be misplaced in the hands of
Dan Boyle as member of the state
railroad and public service commission
and with Dana M. Easton as clerk of
the supreme court. The people are
aware that the election of all these
Republican nominees will keep
the control of the state government
safely guarded beyond the control of
the dominant rule of factions who
have no regard for the interests of
the masses.
People ON Their Guard.
These campaign speakers have been
successful in forewarning the people
OF the state against the encroachments
of the opposition forces, and convinc-
! ing the voters that to exercise their
right of franchise in aught but in
behalf of the Republican, means, be-
yond any doubt, to desert the sab-
stance and follow a shadow.
