T IS SHELLY BOOSTING LAFOLLETTE? ,, The Carbon County Chronicle is very reliably ! informed that the mysterious "Progressive," whom the Shelley candidates for delegates to the Republican convention wish to aeclare for on the the presidential primary ticket is none other than the king of radical senators, Lafollette, of Wis cons in Four years ago Mr. Shelley ran in a bunch of m dividuais and secured their election as delegates to the Chicago convention through the iniquities of the then existing laws. He chose for his bunch persons whose names began with the first letters of the alnhabet which nlaced them at the head of OI toe aipnaoet, wnicn pxaceu Uieill dUllt IlUctU Ui the ticket. This position on the ticket is classed as having about 50 per cent advantage over those lower down. The law now provides that the names shall rotate every 25 tickets viz that the iianiub biiau xuiate! eveiy uukuls,, viä., mat tue top name on each ticket goes to the bottom after v • • 1 1 j v ji • i each 25 impressions have been made by the print-Uj now We do not believe there is much LaFollette sent iment in Montana, outside of railroad circles, per haps. The railroad brotherhood leaders are for Lafollette for the reason that gentleman wants to turn the railroads over to goverment ment, notjvithstanding he declares that all gov emmental business is now being done most in efficiently. And yet he would add another big burden to its regular work. Mr. Lafollette also wishes to deprive the Supreme court of the United States of its power, which would be a still great er national calamity than government ownership of the railroads. r- Shelley .was apparently afraid to name his man when he hand picked his delegates. Straight, true blue Republicans want none of Shelley or his bunch of unknowns to represent them in the Cleveland convention. Tobe sure there is no doubt of President Coolidge's nomination but Montana does not care to rest under the stain of having sent LaFollette's delegation to the conven tion, we honestly believe. , For the information of regular Republicans The Chronicle appends herewith a list of Shelley's can d | dates: . A+- t overp_p TJit'ttipvpv pouutv sui'vpvot* of Mineral county; ÆT Fox "Ä ^bureau of ficer of Flathead county; Ben F. Ford, teamster of Helena; George 0. Freeman, abstractor of Hel ena; Vaugn L.

Jones, stationary en gineer of Anaconda Second District, (Eastern Montana)-Herbert R. Campbell, brakeman, Great Falls; Hugh N. Jones, railroad fireman, Great Falls. ... . , ,, , ,, c , u , , . It is reported that Mr Shelley also has some of h!S own picked candidates, who filed singly, scat tered among the l !S t of regular Republicans. It therefore behooves all straight Republicans to as certain just who is who on the ticket, and vote ac Ä wCTe four yeàrTago ^ ed as they were tour years ago.
