IAewi. and Clarke county should
Clect a solid repullican legislative
1h. leg atoinl.
Helena asks for a fair vote and an
iii.nest count. Give her this and a
majority will be assured.
Two United States senators are at
,ta;ke, so see to it that eight republi
,.ns. are elected to the iegislature.
T'here are to be sixty-one members
lof the assembly and thirteen mem
hers of the senate elected on the aith
of November.
.ludge A. ('. Votaw will succeed
himself. lie is popular and every
illch a judge. His past record is sat
isfactory and the people will retain
hill in the position he has so accept
ahly filled in the past. His muajority
will be large.
Miss Minnie A. Iteifenrath, who has
made a most satisfactory county su
iperintendent of schools for the past
two years, will undoubtedly be re
elected by a flattering majority. This
should be the case, as demonstrated
merit especially deserves endorse
imient.
.lohn lIorsky's candidacy for the
legislature has steadily grown in fa
vor from the uay of his nomination
by the republican county convention.
lie is representative, able and efm
cient and will look well after the in
terests of all classes of his constitu.
ency. He will poll the full strength
of his party and come in with a good
majority.
John Hlerron, republican candidate
for the legislature, is one of the most
worthy and popular men on the county
ticket. His Marysville friends will
give him practical!y a solid vote, so
great a favorite is he there. As he
also stands well throughout the
county his majority will be large.
Con. Becker, republican candidate
for sheriff, by hard and unceasing
work has made steady progress dur
ing the past few dlays and his friends
feel sanguine that he will win the
prize he has so stubbornly contended
for. His thoroughly practical mode
of conducting a political warfare has
had a telling effect, and as a result
he has his forces well in hand await
ing election day.
George H. Woodson is doing some
good work for Helena in the pending
capital contest. He addressed a
large avdlence of colored voters at
Great Falls last Tuesday night, and
his logical arguments and eloquent
words elicited much enthusiasm. It
is hoped that he will continue on the
stumIp till election, as his ellorts
among the colored voters will cer
tainly result most favorably for ilel
ena.
henry F. Tilton, the popular young
republican candidate for county as
sessor, is looking bright and sanguine
as the result of cheering and encour
aging news from every quarter. The
fact that he is a thoroughly practi
cal business man commends him to
the citizens of this county as the
most acceptable nominee before the
people for assessor. If elected he
will give the citizens of Lewis and
Clarke county an excellent and satins
f ictory administration.
.Judge It. H. Howey's past legisla
tive experience, as well as his Inti
mate knowledge of the wants of the
state and its citizens, will render him
a most valuable member of the legis
lature. The Deonle need men of tried
experience to handle matters of
state, and therefore Judge Howey
will be a prime favorite with the
people of this county, for there is a
demand for good material only to till
the legislative halls. He will be
elected by a handsome majority.
Clifford H. Anderson's candidacy
for the legislature has aroused a de
gree of enthusiasm among all classes
that is highly complimentary to that
young and pooular business man. En
ergetic, painstaking and attentive to
his own affairs, it is reasonable to pre
sume that he will Infuse into his po
litical duties the same sterling quali
ties. The signs point to - election
by a very complimentary majority,
which will be a worthy tribute be
stowed upon a most worthy young
man.
W. B. Thompson. the popular native
young Montanian, is making a very
succeesful and effective canvass as a
legislat ve nominee. His organizing
'lualities have manifested themselves
by the steadily increasing adherents
that have gathered to his standard
since he commenced his campaign.
Mr. Thompson is not only working in
his peronal interest. but is doing all
he can to advance the welfare of the
whole ticket. He will undoubtedly be
elected, together with his seven asso
ciates.
The Young Men's Capitail 'lub has
done most elTeetive work for the cap
ital. They attended to the reiater
in,; of live hundred voters.
Of the young men of this city who
have taken an active part in can
vassing tle state in the interest of
Helena for the capital none deserve
more credit than our popular and ris
ing young attorney Albert I. Loeb.
His speeches have been forcible and
effective and everywhere he was
greeted with a hearty welcome.
Charles Horn and William Ham are
the republican nominees for coi'sta
ble. ioth are good men, well and fa
vorably known and they deserve the
support of our citizens. If elected
they will always endeavor to do their
official duties in a satisfactory man
ner and with an eye single to the
faithful administration of justice.
.Judge H. F. Woodman, who has so
long and acceptably tilled the posi
tion of justice of the peace, is admir
ably adapted to the position, He has
always given satisfaction by his up
right and impartial administration of
justice, and if re-elected will en
deavor to merit in the future the
same high opinion so generally be
stowed in the past.
WVilliam IF. Whitaker, republican
candidate for public administrato., is
a gentleman worthy and capable to
fill that responsible position, and our
citizens will do well to see that he is
elected. A business man, of strict in
tegrity and upright purpose. he will
conduct the offtice in an eminently
satisfactory manner to all parties in
terested. He should he elected by a
large majority.
Arthur J. Craven is undoubtedly one
of the most popular and sought-after
candidates on the republican ticket.
He is a welcome speaker before any
audience he addresses; and his choice
words, fluent diction and unanswera
ble logic carry conviction and con
version: His presence In the legisla
ture is demanded by a constituency
solid to a man of his own party, sup
plemented by the liberal thinkers and
admirers of ability of the other par
ties. His election is an assured fact.
I)r. William M. Bullard, republican
candidate for coroner, has steadily
grown in favor since his name has
been before the public. His experi
ence gained while coroner of Jeffer
son county will stand him well in hand
and he will enter upon the duties of
his office not as a novice, but as an
official thoroughly equipped in every
particular to do his whole duty from
the start. Dr. Bullard is a gentle
man of tine attainments and popular
with the masses and we predict his
election by a handsome majority.
%MllEL A. BALLIET.
For 'ounty Attray.
The republicans of this county have
nominated for county attorney that
sterling and capable lawyer, Hon. S.
A. lalliet. Mr. Balliet is so well and
favorably known to the citizens of
this county that it is deemed unnec
essary to go into details as to his
qualifications, standing, popularity,
etc. The fact that he has before
filled the important position to which
he now aspires in a manner that re
flected credit upon himself and gave
satisfaction to his constituents, is all
that need be here referred to. Of a
quick, bright and sunny tempera
ment, his popularity is universal. Mr.
Balliet is an able attorney and will
bring to the position for which he is a
candidate a ripe experience as a
fearless prosecuting attorney who
will conduct the office from the start
in the best interest of the state. Mr.
Ballliet is making an active and
thorough canvass with a view to roll
ing up for himself and the balance of
the ticket an old-time republican ma
jority.
OIN. CIAS. S. IIARTILN.
Our popular and brilliant young
congressman, Hon. Charles S. Hart
man, has made a most satisfactory
and effective canvass of the state,
and from every quarter comes most
cheering news that his plurality will
he greatly increased over that of two
years ago, and that the signs point to
the possibility of hin: securing a
malority over his two competitors.
This would be a fitting tribute to our
worthy young congressman, and it is
to be ,hoped that the people will see it
in that light and roll up a big major
ity for him.
J. S. FEITHEILY FOSI UIITIR.
The republicans of this county
made no mistake when they nomina
ted James S. Featherly for auditor.
For long years he has been an active
and usefu! member of the party and
has done yeoman service to promote
its interests. As a member of the
city council of Helena he made an
enviable reputation, beine ever on
the alert to serve his constituents to
the best of his ability, If elected
auditor, Mr. Featherly will un
doubtedly merit the fullest and most
sanguine explctation of his numerous
friends, who are leaving no stone un
turned to elect him by a handsome
majority.
Ill0\. JIiS S. TOOl[ER
For I'ouni Iflet, naHI Rerrdrr.
Ex-(;ov. John S. Tooker, the repub
lican nominee for county clerk and
recorder, is rated among the most
popular, best known and most highly
respected citizens of Lewis and Clarke
county. Space does not permit a re
view of his active and useful life.
neither is it deemed necessary to
present the same in these columns,
far every leaf of the volume is well
known to our citizens, who have on
more than one occasion had the op
portunity to show their esteem by
electing him to positions of honor and
trust by significantly large majorities.
Gov. Tooker has served most accepta
bly for the past several years as
clerk and recorder of this county,
and to the entire satisfaction of a
most exacting constituency. There
is no office in the county requiring
greater exactness of detail and more
careful and faithful supervision of
matters and things than that so
faithfully. conscientiously and ac
ceptably presided over by Mr. Tooker.
His candidacy for re-election meets
with the hearty and responsive ap
proval of a very large majority of
our citizens, and his supporters and
admirers predict that he will be re
elected by a larger majority than
ever before. If re-elected, he will
strive in the future as in the past to
give the same efficient, business-like
and painstaking administration.

()f the many young business men of
Helena deserving prominence and
promotion Eugene S, French stands
conspicuously in the forefront. Cool,
coliectec? dignified and affable a fa
vorahle impression is made at first
sight, which steadily improves as ac
quaintarce grows. For a number of
years Mr. French conducted a very
large and profitable real estate busi
ness in Helena, and has done much to
enlist .ap't.lI to invest in this city
and hias ne'er missed an opportunity
to prom..te and upbuild the material
advanceu.ent of his adopted city. For
the past two years Mr. French has
filled in a most acceptable and emi
nentiv satisfaotory manner the posi
tion ot county auditor, and so fine a
record d!d he make that when his
party again assembled in convention
he was chosen as the nominee for the
important position of county treas
urer. Mr. French'ssteady habits, rec
titude of character and business
training admirably fit him to accept
ably !ill the office to which he as
pires. If elected, it goes without say
ing that he will fill the responsible
position of treasurer in a manner sat
isfactory and acceptable not only to
his near and closest friends, but to
every citizen in the county of Lewis
and Clarke. Mr. French's friends are
making an active canvass for him
and they feel assured of his election
by a safe malority.
.AFROI-IEIICAN UI.ElCllUcAN CLUL
The Afro-American Republican
club, President .. P. Ball, Sr., in the
chair, had a large and enthusiastic
meeting last Wednesday night. Cole's
band was in attendance and discoursed
excellent music. The club attended
to routine business, discussed the Is
sues of the campaign, etc.. etc., after
which the club was entertained by an
able and spicy address by Col. It. A.
Hawkins, of Marysvi:le. The address
was both instructive and interesting,
and was frequently punctured with
hearty applause. The colonel was in
one of his happy veins, and the club
regretted that his acquaintance had
not been made earlier in the cam
paign. Judge II. F. Woodman also
delivered an interesting address.
After which adjournment was had.
A TNI tiC'lKET.
Goil From Top to lietoi.
A stern duty confronts the repub
licans of this county and state. Face
to face they stand to democracy and
yopulism-two allies ever ready to
fuse when political advantage can be
gained thereby to either one or both
of said parties. Opposed to the re
publican hosts--representatives of
progress, sound money, prosperity,
protection, plenty, business activity
and the general welfare of the whole
country-are the demoralized, shat
tered, panic stricken and bedraggled
democratic cohorts, eager and ready,
though unfit and incompetent to
grapple successfully with affairs of
state, to seize the public oftices that
they may thrive and grow sleek and
tat to again fasten themselves to the
vitals of the nation and gnaw away
thereat. Also opposed to the valor
ous republican hosts and ready to
pounce down upon them are the om
nivorous, blatant and wild-eyed popu
listic horde, eager and ready to mob
like rush in and seize by torce the af
fairs of government.
Thus confronted and threatened
there is but one thing for good citi
zen--republicaus-to do. To the res
cue of the nation they must comer.
Route the combined enemies of good
government and law and order they
must. United to do so they must be
and so remain. Imbued with valor.
iatriotism and loyalty to country, re
publicans must stand as a solid pha
lanx against the assaults of the com
hined enemy who seek to grasp the
prosperity of the nation and choke
out its life. In this emergency--in
this trying hour-all republicans are
called on to rally to the standard of
their party and falter not. As men
good, true and tried they shall he ex
pected to do their duty, their whole
duty and nothing short of their duty.
On to victory' Death to democracy
and populism: Stand by the ticket
from top to bottom!
JIIlNE IEI'II'S WIDE.
Judge l)ecius S. Wade, one of the
republican legislative nominees for
Lewis and Clarke county, is a native
of Ohio and a nephew of the late
United States Senator lienjamin F.
Wade, who tor years was a striking
and conspicuous figure in national
politics. Early in life, after having
graduated and entered upon the prac
tice of his chosen profession, the law,
Judge Wade was elected a member of
the Ohio senate, where he took an
active part in the stirring political
issues of the day and helped to frame
the fifteenth amendment to the con
stitution of the UInited States, which
secured to every citizen the right to
vote, irrespective of race, color or
previous condition.
lie was appointed chief justice of
Montana March 17, 1871, by President
Grant, reappointed by President
Grant, by President Hayes and by
President Arthur, and served as chief
justice for sixteen years and until the
Sd of May, 1887. His decisions in the
supreme court are contained in the
first six volumes of Montana Reports.
He laid the foundation of Montana
law and may justly be called the
father of Montana jurisprudence.
lie is no politician, and accepted
of his nomination to the legislative
assembly with the greatest relutance.
Since his retirement from the bench
he has spent two years in codifying
the Statutes of Montana. Our stat
utes stand in great need of being
overhauled and the matter is of such
urgency that immediate action should
be had in the premises. Judge Wade
is wedl qualified for this task, for he
is well acquainted from his long ex
perience on the bench, and as a law
yer in practice, with all the statutes
of the territory and state and with all
the decisions of the courts.
.Judge Wade will make a most valu
able member of ti; legislature, as
there are many very important laws
that must be enacted to carry into
effect the provisions of the constitu
tion. and his ripe experience in such
matters will aid materially to ac
complish that end. In view of the
fact that there are two United States
senators to be elected by the incom
ing legislature the very best mate
rial should only be sent as members,
and as Judge Wade is of high stand
ing, thoroughly honest and Irre
proachable, his preserce in the legis
lature would be a guarantee that
there would he no repetition of the
deplorable occurrences of two years
ago, if by voice and action such
schemes could be thwarted. lie is a
staunch republican and has been from
early age up, having voted for Abra
ham Lincoln for president. Judge
Wade Is a student and a man of let
ters, and is so thoroughly versed in
the law and the needs of our state
that his election to the legislature
would indeed be a most valuable ac
quisition to that Iotly, which would
not only reflect credit upon the peo
pie of Lewis and Clarke. but upon the
state at large. Judge Wade is popu
lar with all classes and is held in
high esteem and regard by our citi
zens, irrespective of party, and we
predict for him such an overwhelm
ing majority that the people them
selves will feel proud of the royal
manner in which true worth, ability
and fitness is recognized by a grate
ful and appreciative constituenc v.
We take pleasure in bringing be
fore our readers the name of P'aul S.
A. Bickel, the republican candidate
for county surveyor, who has been in
Helena and Montana for the last 1:l
years. He has been employed in the
different branches of engineeringi and
surveyingr for the past 18 years.
In Ohio was employed in the city of
Cleveland by the county of (uyahoga:
by the Valley railroad, Lake Shore,
Lake Erie and Western: afterwards
by the Marquette. Houghton and
Great Northern railroad as engineer:
also had charge of the water power
of the Hepublic mine in Michigan.
Since coming to Montana he ham
been doing general work as surveyor
in its different branches. First in the
United States surveyor general's of
fice: and at present i- one of the
United States department sur-evors
in the firm of Hovey & Bickel, of this
city. We can thoroughly recommend
him as county surveyor, as he has
been over all parts of Lewis and
Clarke county. and we dare say can
give account of having been on most
every square mile of same. As there
is practically no opposition to Mr.
Bickel, he will be e.ected ), a handl
some najority.
