Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-11-05

Cascade county will give Burton
\. Wheeler, democratic candidate for
the United States senate, q majority
of from 1000 to 1.500 next Tuesday"
George w. HARPER chairman of the
democratic central committee said Sat-
urday night. I'VE do not expect the
majorities for the democratic county
candidates to equal that given to the
head of the ticket for the reason that
Wheeler's personal popularity exceeds
the normal democratic strength in the
county.
During the last month, the demo-
cratic central committee has conduct
ed an active, clean campaign. We have
held 13 rallies in that many communi-
ties Of the county, all Of them well at
tended, and in most cases by larger
crowds than those attending republi-
can meetings.
we have found the voters Of the
: county most responsive to our argu-
ments. There is a decided trend away
from the Harding administration and
voters seem determined to vote the
democratic county ticket in the hope
of obtaining more efficient and econ
omical officers and employees.
The close Of the campaign finds
the committee satisfied with its pros
poets for success on Tuesday and sure
that O considerable start has been
made toward greater success in 1924"
