I6CANDIDATE POR MAYOR STATU$
HIS POSITIO PLAINLY
AIOD OSITIVgLY.
Citisens and Voters of Mlspoula
Having announced my candidacy for
the nomination for mayor of Missoula,
I deem It fitting to let the people
know my attitude on matters of pub
lic ,cncelrn.
I a'n for moving steadily forward
alonr all lines of improvement in so
cdal, mural and material welfare.
"Hot.esty of purpose and honesty in
statement" is an essential quality of
an efficient pubile officer. If I shall
be chosen to represent you, I assure
you I shall have nothing to evade and
nothing to conceal, where the public
welfare is concerned.
I shall divest myself of all personal
or private interests that might In any
manner conflict with my duties as an
officer, or would interfere with the
faithful performance of tly officila
work I shall devote my tmne and en
ergh i to the work of the city.
It shall be my policy at all times:
To use reasonable antl prudent
economy in the management of the
business and financial interests of the
city.
To dio Missoula's public work with
Missoula's workingmen.
To do all public work, so for as
practical, by day labor, and without
Importing transient labor.
To reduce taxation and to lessetn the
annual running expense wherever pos
slble, keeping always in view the
ipublic needs and efficient service.
To encourage new industrial enter
prises that will bring to Missoula a
larger pay roll and add to the per
manent citlzenship.
To duly enforce the law accordingl
to its intent and without discrimlna
Lion.
I shall print monthly "a detailed
statement" of receipts and expendi
tures, as required by law, so the peo
ple may know where the money conmes
from, where it goes, and whether or
not it has been wisely and properly
expended.
As to the "social evil:" It is a can
dltion, not a theory, thlilt mustl be
handled. Comllmonl public decency do
tmands time strictest regulation so'as
to thoroughly minimise Its pernicious
effects; that it be isolated and kept
under proper police surveclllance.
I stand for a "square yleai" to all.
and an "even break" In the race for
material progress. Each industry and
business Interest Is entitled to equal
conilderation and protection, under
the law, so long as it is conducted ac
cording to law, whether that Interest
or business be individual, associate or
corporate.
Yours for tilhe best that Miiistoula
can get,

TO THEMEN
OF MISSOULA
I ask you to judge me by my record in behalf of your homes, your wives and your
littles ones; not only in my work as commissioner, but as a school trustee, a member of
the trades council and as a workingman, whether I have been honest and faithful, free
from prejudice and not afraid of those higher up. Now I appeal for your support in
my re-election and trust you will give me the same deal I have given you and help a
workingman in protecting his character from the malicious falsehoods circulated by
men, skilled in dirty politics, who try to throw discredit on a workingman's ability and to
keep workingmen from having any opportunity to protect the interest of the union and
laboring men of Missoula. I am one of yourselves and look to you for your support in
my fight, as it is also your fight, to see that a man of your class should represent you on
the city council. I rely on you to assist me in making Missoula a cleaner and better
city. I am standing on the square deal and ask for the same in return, and will give my
best ability to the best interests of the city.

WHY NOT THE
MAYOR?
While we are being entertained
next Thursday evening by an investi
gation to determine whether Mr. Peat
was mistaken or correct about the
city clerk's records, it will be very In
teresting and useful to investigate
'Mr. Evans' statement that his admin
Istration of finances reduced the debt
of tile city about $56,000 within slx
months. I say his administration be
cause he should have the sole credit
for this remarkable achievement lsnce
neither of the commfslsoners claim
any share in it. Their paltry savings
of a tow thousands are insignificant
in comparison.
We would like to know where this
large amount came from and by what
means such a miraculous saving was
made. 'My present belief is that the
$56,000 was an advance n\ade from
the general fund to the Improvement
districts or similar purposes, a loan
as it were, and when the improvement
dlstrlcts'taxes were paid the loan was
repaid, and my present belief is that
Mr. .Dvans deliberately tried 0to des
ceivo the people of 1lssoufa when he
made the claim of a real reduction of
the city debt.
Acting' on' this belief, I shall vote
and eork against tMr. vmans until be
proves his claim, as I think many
otthr wll do.a ..A It bshoevia s r
--ant to huts, an, Invettiation as
qUIokly .as oubhle.
IThls ,poosble deolption is of much
greater consequence than the one with
which he charges Mr. Peat.
The explanation given above about
the $56.000 has been given me by per
sons who should know about the mat
ter, but it may be Incorrect.
However, I shall not believe Mr.
1vans has stated the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth be
fore the source of that $56,000 Is ex
plained and it is shown to beankcetual
and real saving and decrease of debt.

PRESS AGENTS TALK
OF THEIR SHOWS
Tonight.
Tonight Is the night. l"or the past
two years we have been hearing a
great deal about that George M: Co
han comedy, "Get-Rich-Quick Wal
tingford;" the newspapers have
praised It to the skies, and visitors to
New York and Clticago, where tbh
play has beets running for tile past
two seasons, returned with wonderful
stories regarding its rare qualities, its
delightful satire and its wholesome,
incessant humor. Since the announce.
ment of its coming was made local in
terest has been greatly aroused and
the advance sale has beenl tremend
ouls. Tonight, at the Harnois theater
tllhe local public will be able to' enjoy
the comedy at its best, for Cohan &
Fisher have tent us the very best cast,
with its au clever people and the same
handsome stage settings which marked
its eastern production. K3eorge M.
Cohan nmade this p'ay from the pop
ular stories by George Randolph
Chester, which ran It the 8aturday
Evenlng .Post, and its greatest inter.
ost lies in the fact that there is
scarcely a city in America that has
not had experiences with Just such a
likable, rascally promoter as J. Rufus
Wallingford.
At the Bijou.
Tonight and Tuesday, five high-class
photoplays will be shown, accom
panied by the best songs and music.

pertains to California's women jurists,
where women have fought for and se
cured equal rights in the Golden state.
You'll see how they act in the jurybox
and deliberate on the case of a hand
some young fellow being tried for libel.
This is an up-to-date comedy that will
tickle the men and please the ladies.
"The Little Match Seller" is an in
tense dramatic story of deep human
interest. The scene is in winter
around the holiday season, the story
dealing with a little street urchin who
is fascinated by the pretty Christmas
toys in the show windows.
"The Taos Indians at Home." This
educational subject shows in detail the
modes of living and cugtaMil praoticed
by this almost extinct tribe of Pueblo
Indians. The picture also shows a
visit through the ruins of the old

Indian potteries.

To the taxpayers of Hell Gate
township, Milnoula county.
G-entlemen-We, the undersigned
residents and taxpayers of Potomac,
Missoula county, do respectfully re
quest your co-operation with us In our
efforts to abolish three saloons which
are located In our conmunity; two of
these are within 550 feet and one with
In one anti one-fourth miles of our
church and schoolhouse. Furthermore,
our childrens' playground is within 200
feet of one of these saloons.
Owing to the fact that the Anaconda
Copper Mining company and the
Western Lumber company are oper
ating a number of logging camps in
our vicinity, employing from 100 to 500
men, these saloons have become par
ticularly undesirable to us.
A great many of the lumbermen
make these saloons their periodical
headquarters, and the disgraceful
scenes and language to which our
wives, and especially our children, are
subjected has brought us to a point
where we will continue to do all that
ies in our power to prevent the is- '
sulng of further licenses for Potomac.
We ask of you your moral support
and earnestly request of you as good
citizens that you refuse to sign any
petition to the county commissioners
for the granting of any liquor lioene
for the Potomac valley.
Hoping to have your hearty co
operation In this, we are,
