About ten adults and some fifty
young people enjoyed the first foot
ball game Of the season on Saturday
afternoon
Belt High played the Great Fails
seconds to a to tie.
The Great Falls team are not a
masterless bunch but have a coach
of their own and put up an excellent
game.
All through the game the teams
appeared to be evenly matched.
In the first quarter a couple of
Great Falls players were taken out
because of injuries while in the Belt
was quite badly injured and was un-
team Captain Leland, quarterback
able to run or tackle during the rest
of the game. Just before this half
back Remington whe was playing
with an injured thumb got three
fingers on his hand knocked out and
Gossack sprained an ankle.
These injuries were concealed from
the rival team and account for the
fact that almost no end runs were
tried.
Both teams were held repeatedly
for downs only three first downs
from scrimmage being credited 70
the Falls team and five for Belt
Both sides fumbled repeatedly. In
the punting exchanges Belt out
punted Great Falls from ten to twen-
ty yards
No marked advantage was gained
by either side during the first three
quarters nor was either goal in
danger.

DEMOCRATS PUT Up BIG FRONT
CANDIDATES KNOW THEIR STUFF

The Democrats put on a rally last
Saturday night which though lack
ing the Republican quartet, still was
entertaining TO those in attendance
Domin6c Spogen, local committee
man was busy all last week in pre-
paration for the event. He secured
hangers for the cards Of the Demo-
Gratis which festooned the front of
the X. P. Hall where the. festivities
were held.
Beneath each candidates card and
slogan sat the candidate himself and
the audience was deeply moved by
the seeming contrast between the
portrait and the original Ladies in
the audience were heard to say, "He
is so much more handsome than his
picture" And 'How that picture
does flatter him.
A few candidates were absent and
It required the opening address and
three speeches for the voters to sat
isfy themselves Of this fact.
Take it by and large the candi-
dates were a husky looking bunch
whose combined avoirdupois would
considerably outweigh that Of the
republican group. The average
waistline Of the bunch was in the
neighborhood Of AZ inches. Whether

The speeches were good, excellent
when one considers that they had
little to talk about. After the pro-
gram, to the music Of the Belt Or
chestra, dancers took the floor and
for several hours Belt people had
glimpse Of a Great Falls crowd sew

1t was a decided success. The I

Cascade county is fortunats in
having so many candidates who give
promise of making excellent officers
A judge is to be selected this year
to serve as colleague to Judge Ewing
in the Eighth Judicial District. The
Republican candidate is Wellington
R. Meigs who has had a long
residence in Cascade county. Pos
sessed Of thorough legal education
judicial mind and abundant expert
ence in legal matters, he is the
logical man for this important office
and it is a pleasure to thus indorse
him. His selection to the Judgeship
will assure us of another able Judge
on the bench and impartial adjudica-
tiOn of our legal affairs.
We need a strong man in the
State Senate to uphold our rights
and to further our desires. A
greenhorn is valueless during his
first term in the Senate where be
has to match wits with many old
heads at the game. Julius X
Wuerthner combines a pleasing per-
sonality with dynamic force suf-
ficient to secure fair hearing for
any measure he advocates. A term
in the lower house has educated him
to the way in which bills are passed
and killed. A vote for him will be a
vote to secure adequate representa-
ton in the upper house Of the state
legislature. Mr.. Wuerthner is aware
of the weakness Of the primary law
and the result. He is inclined to be
fair not only TO the people Of Great
Falls bat to. the rural sections Of the
county as well. The county will be
safe in his hands If he Is elected.
The fight made against 9 former
county attorney was in no way
directed against his deputies. We
wish to urge upon our readers
fair consideration Of the candidacy
Of Arthur s. Jardine for the office
Of county attorney. His record will
bear the closest scrutiny and we are
glad to give him hearty commenda-
tion. He was born in Cascade
county and received his elementary
here before taking his
course and has built up a
neat practice in the city Of his birth.
AS a lawyer he is one Of the best

assistant to the county attorney, he

improving rapidly, it was stated
The. ear operation was made
necessary because of pain resulting
from influenza. "A bulletin issued

in his ear, it being a sequel 10 in
fluenza, and 1t was accordingly de.
cided that a small operation Vas
necessary When this was done his
relief followed. +"
The progress made by the prince
was so promising that It was stated
that he would be able to leave YORK

tomorrow.
Physicians attending the Prince
later in the day changed their view
and issued strict orders against his
leaving York House.
Although the Prince will be able
to leave his bed and go about the
city he has cancelled all immediate
public engagements. His projected
trip to Biarritz has been put Off
until after Easter upon the advice
of the medical men.
The Prince has been severely
warned of the necessity of keeping
his ear warm in order to prevent
complications.
The King and Queen, who had
gone to Sandringham for Easter,
