VOLUME: I I ' ■^GHOTEAUi TETON C O U N T Ì ^ ^ N T A N A , AUGUST.;'28,. 1914 NUMBER 9 The Primary Election Helena, Aug 26. —Partial re turns from about half of the pre cincts in half of the • counties in state at midnight indicated the nomination of. Fletcher Maddox, of Great Falls and M. H. Par sons o f Missoula, as the republican candidates for congress. ’ Danjel Boyle as the republican candidate for railroad commissioner, Judge J. M. Clements of Helena a 9 the democratic candidate for associate justice of the supreme court and J. E. McCormick of Boulder as the democratic candidate for rail road commissioner. The vote -cast will probably total less than 15 per cent of the total registered vote of the state. The following candidates were nominated without opposition in their respective parties: For Congress—Democrats, Tom Stout and J. M. Evans, incum bents; progressives, J. M. Brin- son and W. D. Rankin. For Associate Justice—Repub lican, W. L. Holloway, incum bent. For Railroad Commissioner— Progressive, J. A. Williams. IN TETON COUNTY There was a very light vote cast in Teton county at the pri mary election held last Tuesday, it being estimated that less than 25 per cent of the registered voters took advantage of their opportunity to express their preference for party nominees. The surprise of the primary, how ever, was the smallness of the so- called progressive vote. It is not thought that their vote will total 25 in the entirja*icouhtyfe^cohere Wq* \•wdreno bull Cut Bank .Farmington antfTiiahy other important precincts. Only two in Dnpuyer, and as Thos. Manix is the party’s candidate for senator and Arbie Leech for rep resentative, it is probable the Dupuyer bull moose'.votes are thus aocounted for. At Valier where Jos. Sturgeon lives, there was one vote for that party. At Gonrad, 1 1 votes were polled, E. R. Alqui 6 t receiving one vote for representative. The socialists made a much better showing than the followers of ME—Teddy. In many precincts of the county the bull moosers and democrats voted the republican ticket, in a vain endeavor to have weak men nom inated by that party. The re turns are si )\v in coming in, up to noon today two precincts—Lowry and Brownell—not having been received at the office of the county clerk. The canvassing board, consisting of the county clerk and two justices of the peace—John E, DeHaas, of this city, and B. J. Matthews, of Conrad, were com pelled to adjourn the count pend ing the arrival of the returns from these two places. If they arrive on the mail train this evening, the count will be commenced at once. On the face of the unofficial re turns thus far received, Fletcher Maddox and Harry H. Parsons have carried the county for cong ress, Mr. Maddox haying a large lead over his pparest opponent. Dan Boyle is in the lead for rail road commissioner on the repub lican ticket, and it is thought J. E. McCormick will have a majority on the democratic ticket. Judge J. E. Erickspn is leading his op ponents for the democratic nomi nation for associate justice of the Bupreme court. For representatives, C. S. Mc Donald, of Choteau. and John VY. Coburn, of Cut Bank, are leading D. F. Mains for the nomination, although the race between Coburn and Mains seems to be close, and it will take the official count to determine the winner. Martin Jacobson is the republi can nominee for the two-year-term as county commissioner, easily defeating f)ick Huen of Conrad. Ernest Savory will be the demo cratic nominee for the.six-year- term, the returns showing that the combination formed against Jos'. Rowekamphythe democratic boss.at Conrad too strong to be overcome. - The race for county auditor between C. J. Smith and Chas. Parker of this city, is very close, with the chances in favor of the nominatibn of the former. The democratic nomination ha 9 prob ably been won by John G. Weitzel. Kenneth McKenzie has defeated R. Pi Dean for the repeblican nomination for sheriff. For county assessor John L. Lundgren has .defeated Oren R. Nelson for the republican nomin ation. L. A. Foot lias a safe lead over Hattersley and Pridham for county attorney, although the race seems, to be pretty cloke. Hattersley- made a remarkably good race at Conrad, receiving 68 votes to 8 for both of his op ponents. John J. Greene has probably received the democratic nomination, leading D. J. Ryan by a comfortable majarity. Rig- ney also ran. Miss Ethel Reid, of Bynum, ib probably successful in securing the republican nomination for county superintendent of schools. For public administrator John R. Gleason has a slight lead over Byron Corson for the republican nomination. The Montanan has beenjible to receive the republican vow|intbut few of the precincts of the'ctocinty. • Where contests - for the nomina tion Have been' fiad, ~\ve publish the returns so far received. It has been practically impossible to get returns on the democratic rote.

Fred Lewis is wheat king so far this week, at any rate he says the wheat from his farm is theheavist that has yet been hauled to the elevator, 64 pound to the bushel and sixty acres went a little better than 14 bushels t o ’ the acre.— Brady Citizen. Joe Cobell died at his homo here last Friday afternoon. He had been oiling for a few days and the end was not unexpected and several of the members of his family were at his bedside when the end came. The fuueral ser vices were held at the Presbyter ian Church, the minister of Havre officiating. The deceased was in terred in the Crown Hill Ceme tery. ,\Mr. Cobell had been a resident of this section and the reservation all of his life and up to a few years ago was a well to do stock- man on the reserve. The de ceased was tilli ty-seven years of age. He was born at Shonken in 1887.—Cut Bank Tribune. Mr. and Mrs Frank Gillnn ar rived in Conrad Monday morning, and spent, several days here. Mr. Gillan has been in Choteau nearly ail summer, where he has several heating and plumbing contracts, and Mrs. Gillan and the children have been spending the summer in Helena. Mrs. Gillan arid the children will remain here for the school year.—Conrad Indepen dent. It is stated on reliable authority that the big hotel at Glacier Park ha9 been closed and that only the chaletswillbeke.pt open during the remainder of the park season. It is said that the unsettled in dustrial conditions, due to the European war, caused a big fall ing off in park traffic and for the past couple of weeks the big hostelry was being conducted at a loss.—Cut Bank Pioneer Press. County Surveyor Ward was in town yesterday and reported the work on the park to park high way progressing nicely, the new road being put into first class shape as far as they have gone.— Valerian. Last Thursday F. 1). Gudger shipped a car load of hogs to the Great Falls Meat company. The shipment consisted of 8 U hogs, and he received 7i cents per pound, live weight, for them. This is the largest shipment made by any one individual from this section, and Mr. Gudger says he has more to ship.—Conrad Obser ver. Teton County High School The Teton county high school will open' for the new term on Sept.' 8 th and every effort is being made to increase the enrollment this year. Several new courses have been arranged and other changes have been made with a view to making the school more efficient and at the same time more attractive. ^ It is' invariably true in every community that there are always several . boys and girls of high school age who, without any ap parent [reason, fail to attend school. Either due to a lack of ambition on their part or on the part of their parents or else due to some former discouraging ex perience these children fail to take advantage of the facilities offered them. Every one of them will admit that there are advanta ges In an education and yet they fail to grasp the opportunity. This, of course, does not apply ¡to those for whom it is necessary to work. Now if you have finished the eighth grade and intend to stop school, or if you have attended high school here in Choteau or elsewhere, makeup your mind-to start to high school this fall. Your age makes mo difference. It is not expensive. You will enjoy it and be greatly benefited by attending. At least it would do no harm to discuss the matter with Mr, Dietrich, the principal. You can find him at his office in the school building or at his home almost any time. Make an ap pointment with.him over the phone and talk the matter over.
