RIDDICK •» Adjourning their state convention in Helena late Saturday, the Repub licans of Montana concluded one of the most harmonious meetings ever held in the state. -At no stage of the pro ceedings was there any evidence of dissension, nor objections to any plans proposed for the campaign to be j waged this fall, and which is predict cd to result in a sweeping victory for the entire ticket nominated at the re cent primaries and an enthusiastic endorsement of the Republican state and national administrations the last two years. There were no factions in the ranks of the party by the time the proceed ings of the convention got under full headway late Saturday afternoon. Hours before the meeting convened it was evident that the re-election of Jrseph B. Scanlan for chairman 6f the state central committee would be unanimous. Leaders and managers of the campaign for Congressman Carl W. Riddick, Republican nominee for United States Senator, indorsed the selection of Mr. Scanlan almost from the start.

It is planned to have as guests city and high schools. The arrangements for the meeting will be made by members of the boys' work committee. In the report which demonstrated the large amount of real effort the committee has put into the work, was embodied the plan for the coming year- This contemplates closer ac quaintance between the Rotary com mittee and the school authorities and faculty. Also there will be conduct at the meeting all of the county and city school boards, as well as the teachers from the ed a back to school campaign, to en courage those boys who have passed through the grades to go on into the high school.

A committee will be se lected to be known as an advisory committee, to which boys may go for consultation, when in need of assist interest in the hign school ath ance. letics will be encouraged among the citizens of Bozeman, so that the stu dents will feel there is oo-operation with them in making that department more successful In his address at the opening of the convention Chairman Scanlan pointed out the qualifications of the candi dates and gave each his unqualified indorsement. Probably no one on the convention floor spoke with more praise of the success of Chairman Scanlan as man ager of the Republican party the last two years than Attorney General Wel lington D. Rankin, who in his address seconding the renomination of Mr. Scanlan, pointed out the successful results he achieved in the campaign two years ago. Mr. Rankin pi*edicted the same achievement on the part of Mr. Scanlan in the campaign this fall O. A.

He will be in charge of the Republican state headquarters to be maintained in Helena.

Carl B- Pfeiffer, was elected treasurer. (Continued on Page Five.) of Helena, ! PRAISES PARTY WORK Points Out Accomplishments of Re publican Administration for the State to the Convention. Chairman Joseph D. Scanlan, ad dressing the Republican state com mittee at its its reorganization meet ing in Helena Saturday, pointed out what had been accomplished for the state and nation since the govern mental affairs had been placed within the guidance of Republican hands, and urged that the present conduct of affairs be indorsed by all members of the party uniting in support of the Republican ticket to be submit ted to the voters at the general elec tion in November. Chairman Scanlan related bow anx ious the people of the nation were for a change in the control of the nation al administration, basing that as a reason for President Harding having received such an overwhelming ma Jority at the election two years ago. He also emphasized what a deplor able condition Governor Joseph M. Dixon found in the finances of Mon tana when the latter became the chief executive of the state. He showed that the system of economy created by Governor Dixon is gradually over coming practically a bankrupt situa tion, one that had been left by Gov ernor Dixon's predecessors. All of the present state officials were extolled for the part they have taken in their efforts to replace the state on a substantial basis, in no un certain terms the chairman praised the nominees on the present state Re publican ticket and urged that they be given unstinted indorsement at the coming election Chairman Scanlan said; "We have found factional quarrels in- the Republican ranks during the last two years and some of them, I regret to admit, have precipitated a degree of bitterness, intensified to a great extent by the Democratic press, but we must remember that we are a U Republicans and our first concern should be the success of the party, We all owe much to the Republican or ganiration and it ill behooves any of us to take our revenge out on the party just because we have not al w r ays had things come our way. This is the year that we must solidify the party for the fall of 1924, and unless I we all put our shoulders to the wheel and eliminate factional differences and work for the good of the party as a whole we are going to find our selves in a predicament not to be de sired, and in this connection I may add that if Democrats succeed in electing their ticket this fall it will be due inexcusable blun be due to our own inexcusable blun ders. We are going before the people this year with a record of achieve ment behind us both in national and state affairs, end we need haare m apologies to 'mkr to anybody.

TARIFF BIEIREADÏ FOR HOUSE ACTION Called Up Wednesday With Expecta tion That It Will Be Disposed of Thursday. WASHINGTON, Sept 12.—The ad ministration tariff bill as finally per fected in conference was presented today in the House and the conference of report on it, bearing the signature the Republican members, will be called up tomorrow, with the expecta tion that it will be disposed of not later than Thursday. The measure then will go to the Senate, but because of opposition to the dye embargo and other* provisions, action there may delayed a week or more. As now framed the bill is estimated roughly by the experts to raise ap diately after President Harding signs it, replacing the Underwood and emergency tariff acts. It is designed to a large extent, its framers have on the basis of the present volume of the nation's import trade. The level 0 -f ra te, accoixling to the experts, is slightly below the level in the p ay ne-Aldrich bill, the last Repub jj can protective tariff, but it is con siderably above the level of the Dem ocratic Underwood law now in force, The bill will become effective imme said, to meet the unusual world eco nomic situation and more particularly to protect American industries from the low cost industries in Germany and the countries carved out of Aus tria and Hungary. 1 ** ^ g ** j* ~ FIRST PRIZE BABY.

Pointing out the wrecked condition of the finances of the state government of Montana when he became chief executive and likening this state unto a conquered Roman province, due to the prolonged grip of the bipartisan machine prior to his advent into office* Gov. Joseph M. Dixon, addressing the Republican state convention assembled in Helena on Saturday afternoon, declared that there would be no let-up in the contest now started until the practice of granting special privileges was driven from the halls of the state capitol. Let him who hath no stomach for the fight depart," was an was an ultimatum issued by Governor Dixon amidst an outburst of ap plause from those who have stood with him in his struggle for relief from taxation burdens to the benefit of the common classes. The governor declared that he intended there should be no war made upon industry, but he did insist that corporate interests contribute a more equal share toward the upkeep of operation of state government. He urged that the mining interests have not been paying their just share of taxation, and illustrated how the newspapers allied with machine had to the minds with thejbipartisan machine had attempted to poison the minds of the people with consolidated propaganda spread from one source of the opposition in Helena. Governor Dixon declared that the opportunity for the people to assert their rights had arrived, and that there should be no let-up in the fight for release from control of the octopus. He showed during his long residence in Montana how steadfastly he had followed the progressive principles of the Republican party, and asserted that the Republican party now has within its grasp the opportunity to save the state from financial wreckage.

It is planned to have enough sustaining members come into the association this winter so the finances will be properly ap plied.
