DEMOCRATS IN STATE
SWINGING TO RIDDICK
Reports Indicate Congressman Will
Carry Bulk of Counties in
Both Districts.

Reports from every county in the
tion Of Congressman Carl W. Riddick
as United States senator, according to
Joe Montgomery of Lewistown, ac-
tive state leader of the Republican
party, who returned to his home Mon
day night after brief visit in Hell
ena.
"Riddick will carry eight oe the 16
counties of the First congressional
district, and he will carry all of the
counties in the Second district, with
possibly the exception of three" Mr..
Montgomery said. "In a great many
counties of the Second district Mr..
Riddick will carry all of the votes.
He is exceptionally strong in the
southeastern corner Of the state.
"In Fergus county, Mr.. Riddick's S
home county, in the primary election,
he was given more votes than the to-
tol Democratic votes in the following
counties: Sheridan, Daniels, Rosebud,
Prairie, Carter, Fallon, Golden VAL
ley, Liberty, Meagher, Phillips, Treas
ure, Wibaux, Wheatland, Roosevelt
and Richland. That showing will be
almost repeated in the November elec-
tion, in my opinion" Mr.. Montgomery
continued.
"There are several counties, l have
found" Mr.. Montgomery added,
"where the Democratic political or
ganization has been practically wiped
out in this campaign as far as their
ticket is concerned, due to the Demo-
Gratis switching their support to Rid
dick"
