here last night at the city auditO-
rum in behalf of the candidacy of
Mrs. Ferguson, Democratic nominee

Early in his speech, in a fiery pas

paiGn Of malice, Islander, hate and
prejudice A little further on he
attacked Thomas +. Love, Of Dial
las, former chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee, but
who. Ferguson said, is now support
ing Butte.
The primary pledge is binding on
the voters, Ferguson declared. He
said those who voted in the primary
and then scratched the Democratic
ticket were breaking their solemn
VOW to support the nominees.

ing from hay fever and was unable
