VALLEY Tribune, B~ainville)

State Representative Arthur
Ryder of Froid was a visitor in
the interests of his campaign to
succeed himself for the nomina-
ton for that office. Nh. Ryder
represented this county in the
state legislature at Helena two
years ago, where he made a good
reputation for himself and his
candidacy for reelection is meet
ing with warm approval in all sec
tons of the county and his many
friends predict that he will re-
ceive the nomination by a large
majority. He is a prominent far
mel in the Froid section and I'M
derstands the situation as applies
to Roosevelt county and is per-
haps one of the best fitted men
that could be chosen for the po-
%sition, which, coupled with his
past experience as a legislator.
should qualify him to accomplish
things for us if the voters see fit
to return him for another term.
