cial meeting of the association or
that day. Maybe II the members al
get right down to hard figuring then
we can figure out how to vote fol-
everybody. | wouldn't care so much
but some of them are going to need
1t bad.
had another story about how the
patrol works and helps everybody and
sundry, but the editor told me to lay
off 1t. Said I'd written enough about
them; first thing I'd know, I'd be
giving somebody an idea that the out
fit wasn't working at all. Just sort
of loafing around the capitol or taxi
driving. He's wrong. | know that
you are not going to get any wrong
impressions about what I'm telling.
I've put in a lot of hours developing
nay lucid style. @a er
Well, I'feel that the AABF is going
10 go right ahead now. and the gov
ernor will just have to accept the Of
flee of president now since he is going
to run for governor again. He can't
afford to ,jeopardizei his standing with
our large membership as its acknowl-
edged leader in a sort Of ex-officio
capacity. / haven't seen this friend
who is close to him, for a while.
Maybe he stayed close too long. He
is getting so he can't take 1t very
we'll any more. He'll have to be re-
duced to the one bottle degree. Or
maybe he's just training with the gov
ernor for the higher degrees in the
order.
| notice that the governor is going
to have some competition for the job.
/ don't know il this other fellow that
is going to run for the job would
make as good president of the AABF
as the governor doubt it. Anyhow.
he isn't In Helena so | don't have to
promise to vote for him. It's going
to be harder If this Railroad Commits
sioner Middleton gets out and runs.
He might make me promise him my
support and then I'd have another
problem for the AABF to work out on
election day.
Just judging by what | pick up
here and there while on my beat out
at the state house, | feel that | can
assure all my large reading public that
there will be a candidate for every
political office that will be vacant this
year | had given lot of serious
thought to running for something my
self, but there are too many judges
and prosecuting attorneys out in the |
field to suit me- Besides, didn't get
much encouragement when | talked
to some fellows about raising a cam
paign fund for me. | told them If
they'd raise the size of campaign fund
for me that the governor had when
he ran in 1886, I'd run for anything.
Maybe from anything. And run long
ways too.
There's disturbing rumors floating
around that Tatonka Dewey is coming
out here again this year. Why can't
that fellow stay where he belongs or
where / don't belong? | suppose may
be he'll be working on that platform
had in my piece in the paper the
other week. So l suppose I'll have to |
get the editor to publish the platform |
again and I'll have to explain it again
What a headache that guy is! And
the kind Of figures he sings around
is another. Nobody understands them
Sc | guess he doesn't either.
/. It looks like I've written enough
for this time. l have dandy story
to break next week If the flinty-
hearted editor doesn't grab 1t away
from ME. II he does, hope he does
Justice to 1t.
And to me. JANE.
