THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

latin county, have every reason to feel proud of
the ticket they selected at the primary election
of August 3.
Ronald Higgins of Missoula, choice for congress
from the First district, is comparatively young in
years but old in experience. He has seen much
service in the state general assembly, and has
held other public offices. With a keen and we'll
trained mind, and an energy and an agressiveness
that are indispensable to accomplishment in the
nations law-making body, he will, if elected to
represent this section of Montana, bring prestige
to the Treasure state and material benefits to
his constituency.
For associate justice of the supreme court, the
Republicans have two strong candidates-William
L. Holloway and Albert j. Galen, both now mem
bers of that body. Justice Holloway, indeed, has
served in that capacity for nearly a quarter of a
century, and his service has been one of honor
and distinction. Justice Galen has been a member
of the court for only a few years, but his record
is excellent. The qualifications of both are of
the highest order.
Lee Dennis for railroad and public service
commissioner will draw support from all parties.
His record in public service is an outstanding one
of many years duration. He has demonstrated
his ability and efficiency in such an emphatic
manner that there is no question but what he is
the man for the place. That he will be successful
in the general election is almost a foregone con-
clusion.
In the county, the Republican candidates are
all of a high order. J. P. (Pat) Donaldson, who
seeks the office of sheriff, possesses the qualifi-
Observation-Disclosures, courage, determination, and
tact-sO absolutely necessary for the successful
discharge of the important duties he will be called
upon to perform. Seth F. Bohart, candidate for
county attorney, will bring to that office all the
enthusiasm and energy of the ambitious and
wel-trained young b~arrister, with assurance that
the interests of Gallatin county and it's people
will be fully protected. For county commissioner,
Henry Altenbrand, Jr, who is so we'll qualified
and so widely and f~avOrably known, is the logical
candidate for such an important position, and will
be supported Fundamentally.
For the state house of representatives the Re
publicans have selected three gentlemen than
whom there are no better in the county. George
Darlinton for the last six years has served Gal
latin county as chairman of it's board of commits
siOners in a way that has elected commentator
from citizens of all political beliefs. Robert Dunn
is also deservedly popular and highly qualified,
having previously served in the legislature as a
member from Deer. Lodge county. Harloe P.
White will ably support his colleagues in the
house and aid in making Ganatin county's dele
S"AOA " CioC OOuJ oil outstanding one Inc
vote he received in the primary is ample evidence
of the high regard in which he is held.
Then there is ]. H. Harris, present county clerk
and recorder, who has so faithfully and efficiently
served the public in that office that he not only
received the largest vote, 1,341, of any candidate
IN either party primary, but was endorsed for the
office by the Democrats as well. Mary E. Rosen.
berg, Republican candidate for superintendent Of
schools, is thoroughly qualified for the office sht
seeks and undoubtedly will be generously sup
ported. S. D. Waldorf, who would succeed him
self as county surveyor, also received a large
primary vote, 1921, and was, like Mr.. Harris
written in upon the Democratic ticket. For publi
administrator and coroner, respectively, Lev
Gracey and H. F. West are virtually assured O
election, Mr.. West being also endorsed by tn
Democrats. For justices of the peace in Town
ship No. 1, w. H. Axtell and Lloyd M. johnson
running upon their records in that office, hav
no opposition. And neither has Rufus C. Selvage
Republican candidate for constable.
Taken as a whole, the Republican congressiona
state, and county ticket is one of exceptions
merit and well worthy Of support by every vote
who has the best interests of his government a
heart. We predict for it the highest measure q
success at the general elections Of next Noven
