Mr. Howard activo and respected represen tative of the great mining industry popular as any mt Montaua Kootenai. He is a business of indefatigablo energy, a rep resentative citizon of tho western por tion of the county, and among his mpporters are men of all political beliefs, who believe that the offico of commissioner is a business ono and that Mr. Howard is a fair and impar tial business man, capablo of per forming its most difficult duties. ‘Doc” Howard will, as commissioner, >e a constant antagonist Of extrava gance in county affairs or a wasto of public money.

Monday ovening tho Bryan club >om was filled to its utmost capacity by voters to hoar Hon. C. B. Nolan’s treatment of tho issuos of tho cam paign. Many ladies graced tho meeting by their prosouce, nnd joined tho general approval of tho spgak- s remarks. Tho absonco of Robort B. Smith was oxplaiuod, and his can didacy for govomor of Montana has not suffered by his enlistment for service in other states where mec ed to uphold the bannor of hon est money. ~ '. Nolan dealt with tho financial question and the income tax plank of the democratic platform. Ho deliberate,clear and at times oloquont. He interjected sovoral stories into bis address which wore illustrative of points. Mr. Nolan’s mooting proved several facts, viz: That nine-tenths of the voters o f this section are for silver; that no man can successfully dofoud the British gold-standard as : sirable thing for this nation. SILVER CANDIDATES Something About Meii who are Pre sented\ to Voters o f Flathead .by the Democracy. EVERY INTEREST REPRESENTED Bits o f Life History of the Hen Who ■e Making n Clean and Honest Contest for Election. Mr. Goddard’s Talk. O. F. Goddard addressed a moot ing at tbo Bryan club hall on Friday evening. The seats were all filled and Mr. Goddard was givon i spoctful hearing. So far as a dis cussion of silver goos, Mr. Goddard made none. Ho ridiculed, rather than discussed it. Pooplo now do- sire light on the question and Mr. Goddard must have disappointed hiB hearers in not goiDg into tho ques tion and making a showing of the gold side o f the contention. A notable feature of Mr.Goddard' address was the statement that n id an could bo for silvor and for Bryan and be a republican; Lor .could any man be for McKinley and democrat. Another part of his address was a warniug to tho “ silver republicans” that they would uot bo recognized by the pie distributors if McKinley should be elected. Ho de clared that McKinley men were the only republicans—all othor republi- ins were spurious. If tho republicans of this vicinity e satisfied with Mr. Goddard’s ud- dress their 6pVoneuts Burely are. D. F. Smith. D. F. Smith, candidate for judgo of the eleventh district was born Feb. 1,1S65, on a farm in Aroostook county, Maine. His grand parents had settled there in 1810. His parents died when ho. was nine years old, leariug him, with a younger brother, to tho care of an uncle nnd aunt. irly days were spont upon tho farm and in attondauco at tho dis trict school. Having to make his in the world ho began at the age of 16 to teach school, aud by teaching during vacations oarnod nonoy to pay his way through school and college. Ho received his education atHoulton academy, Houl- ton, Me.; at Colby university, Wat'er- villo, Me.; and at tho Boston Univer lity Law School, Boston, Mass. Mr. Smith camo to Montaua in tho spring of 1891 and settled at Colum bia Falls where he now resides with his family, consisting of his wifo and one child. He has been admitted to practice iu both state and United States courts and for the last four years has been engaged in the active practice of law. Today he stands as high in his profession as any mem ber of the Flathead bar. - _ Lyman Lorlng. „ Lyman Loring, the democratic can didate for state senator, was born at Shirley, Maine, in 1834. Roceivod a common school and acadomic educa- )n in that state. Came to Wiscon- n in 1858, where he taught school winter aud farmed during the sum mer months. He enlisted in tho war the first call for volunteers a nd served until honorably discharged at its close in May; 1865. In 1877; in company wiy> A. B. Stickney, of St. Paul, Mr. Loring bought 4,000 acres of land in tho River Valley and put it under improvement. He had entire chargo of this property fourteen years. Dur ing this time ho was appointed mom- bor of the farmers’ board of trado of Minnesota aud served os president of the board until that body was suc ceeded in its labors by tho railroad and warehouse commission. In this position Mr. LoriDg mado many im provements in roads and drainage of great value to the couutry and highly appreciated by the people. In 1890 Mr. Loring camo to Mon tana, stopping first in tho Bitter Root valley and in Docember of that year coming to the Flathead. Ho was elected to the state legislature in 1892 and, although a democrat, was ap pointed by a republican governor ou the board of commissioners of tho soldiers’ home, later casting the de riding vote that located the home iu this , county. Mr. Loring has never (leased to take an active interest in all matters pertaining to the immediate erection of this structure. Thomas D. Long. Thomas D. Long, the democrats’ popular young candidate for county attorney, was born at Columbus, Ind. Oct. 10,1867. Ho graduated from tho Columbus high school iu 1884; ou- tored college in the fall of that year, aud graduated at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., iu 1888; road law for eightcon months with Col.'S. Stansi- forfof Columbus aud then attended law school at Ann Arbor, Mich., grad uating with the class of 1891. He was admitted to the Indiana bar in the same year. Mr. Long camo to Kalispell in July of 1895. He camo west because ho believed there were better opportun ities for a young man here than in the east. Ho was a believer aud sup porter of tho doctrines of freo coin age of silver and income tax years before coming to Montaua and never was a goldbug. He nover ran for of fice before and Dover bold an office, appointive or otberwiso. Tho recent democratic stato con vention complimented Mr. Long by making him its permanent secretary. In vory great contrast to the tactics of his populist speech-making oppo nents, Mr. Long has conducted his canvass for county attorney open and abovo board and not once bas ho in any way sought to make votes for himself by dealing in personalities. J. T. Dickinson. Democracy’s candidate for sheriff was born at Mineral Point, Wiscon sin, on February 16, 1860. He en tered tbe schools of his native town, finishing in tho Jiigh school in his twentieth year, but in tbo meantime assisting his father iu his business. Ho then sought the west aud for eight years was engaged in tho butcher business at Evanston, Wyo. Ho hold the position o f under sheriff yoar in the city of Evanston und gained an insight into the oleri- Icnl work of the office. Later ho! iiiovixl In .YlbulaiiM, locating iu Kalis ■ pell, whore he has since resided. Mr. Dickinson was for a time engaged in tho butcher business in Kalispell, and for tho past two years has been book-kcoper for tho Kalispell Light and Water company. Mr. Dickinson is well qualified for tho duties of-sheriff. He is a busi- man and an accountant well ablo to keep accurato records of tho deings in one of tho county’s most important otubes. Taxpayers have found by experience that accurate book-keeping in the. sheriff’s offico vory important. \ Fred Whiteside. On tbo democratic legislative tioket tho name o f Fred Whitesido appears. Ho was born in central Illinois and is thirty-four years old. He has re sided in Montana for seventeen years, and has boon a resident o f Flathead couuty since 1891. By occupation ho is a contractor, having erected the soldiers’ home at Columbiq Falls aDd has engaged in other works in this valley. Mr. Whiteside has nevor be fore sought or hold offico. Ho is as woll posted upon tho noods of tho stato as any candidate and is a man of energy and determination. Mr. Whitesido has boon for years an nr- (lont believer in tho causo of bimetal lism, nnd bas givon careful study to economical questions. He is fitted for excellent work in tho house of representatives. H. H. Garr. H. H. Garr, candidate for the legis lature, was born in Seneca Falls, N. Y., April 10th, 1840. Six months la tor his family moved to Elmira, N. Y., whore ho received a common school aud academic education. Mr. Gan- listed on April 19, 1861, in%io 23d, N. Y. Vols. for two years. Ho honorably discharged ou May 1863. He commenced work the railway service on July 10, 1863, fireman and served through all grades of tho mochanical department. On Sopt. 3, 1883, ho was appointed superintendent of Machinery & En gines on Cincinnati, Van Wert & Michigan Railway. After service of two yoars ho rosigued. In July, 1887, appointed superintendent of schools at the Fiegau reservation, Mont., under Maj. M. D. Baldwin. Ho resigned on August 20, 1888, and moved to Great Falls, Mont., from which city ho came to Columbia Falls, in March, 1895. lllrliel Therrianlt. Michel Therriault, candidate for clerk aud recorder, was bom jn Aroos took county, Maine, in 1860. Ho finished his education at tho Mada- waska training school, graduating in In tho year of his graduation ho came weet and for four years de voted himself to mining in theCoeur- d’ Aleue country, where he became woll known to tho people. Iu 1886 to Flathead county and en gaged in general merchandising and sawmilling iu the lower valley. Every- who has resided in Flathead county siuco 1886 knows Michel Ther riault personally, and it is from those who know him best that he receives his warmest friendships and the most heurty commendation as a man und citizou. Iu 1894 the people of Flat- head olectod Mr. Thorriault clerk and recorder. Despite the fact that tho new codes doubled the work of that office, tho state ' examiner pro nounced it tho best kept county clerk’s offico in Montana. The peo- plo havo found Mr. Therriault atten tive, respectful and diligent in the performance of his public duties. T. J. Hopkins. Whilo it is true that the democrats do not desire to appeal to the sympa thies of the. people, yet it can be said that T. J. Hopkins does deservo both sympathy and support. Two years ugo he mot with an accident by which he lost a leg—he is, therefore, serious ly handicapped in the race fora living for bimself nnd family. Fortunately for him ho has bad such a business training as fits him for tbe position for which the democrats have nomi nated him. “Hop,” as his friends call him, bas had a varied experience lifo; for twenty-four yoars ho has lived on a farm and is well t quainted with the ups and downs farmer’s life. He has lived in t west for eighteen years and for twolve years has been a citizen of Montana. During his sojourn Montana be bas held mauy positions of .trust, has been in the employ of many people and always ready to porform his duty in the most thor ough and satisfactory manner. Since he has lived in Flathead couuty, now nearly six years, he has worked for the G. N. R. R. in capacity of road master, a position of great responsibility. Any man who hold down that position with much satisfaction to the company as did Mr. Hopkins, is thoroughly com petent to fill tho office of assessor foi Flathead county. - It may be well to remark that in so far as placing a valuation on-tho railroad for the pur pose of taxation the county assessor, whoever he may be, will have nothing to do. Tho state board doos that. Of course he will valuo and assess the porsonal property of the com pany. Samnel Hllhnrn. democrats for the office of county treasurer, was born at Xenia, Ohio, Oct. 28, 1860. His parents moved to Detroit, Mich., when ho was one year old, and his boyhood days were spent in that city, where he attended pub lic school until 15 yoars old and lator tho Bryant & Stratton business col- lego. Aftor graduating ut tho lattor institution Mr. Hilburu engaged tho butchor business until 1880, whon to Milos City, Mont. Gen eral morebandiso business then gaged his attention uutil 1889, wheu ho accoptod a position as book keepoi Iu tho spring of 1891 he came to the Flathead valloy, which ho M^his'homo and where ho intends permanently reside. Mr. Hilburn at present a most efficient deputy tho office which his friends propose he shall occupy as chief after Jan. 1, 1879. I Columbia Falls. Hlx fnmih J. K. I.aug. Tho caudidato for clerk of the court, Jns. K. Lang, was born Blair, Nob., on Juuo 15, 1869. came to Montana in 1881, making Butte his home for two years, and iming to tho Flathead valloy 83. During tho first ten yoars of his rosidonco hero lie attended school and helped about tho farm. Iu January, 1893, Mr.Langontored tho Northorn Indiana Normal school at Valparaiso, finishing tw;o courses and graduating iu 1895. Since turning to Montaua he has taught school. In spite of his youth Mr. Lang is a genuine old-timer in the Flathead but has never before sought offico. Ho is well-fitted for the dutios of clerk of the court, having made a specialty of short hand and typewriting and being pos agreenblo porsonal qualities which render him courteous to all with whom ho comos in contact. F,. Jenkins. N. E. Jonkins, candidate for county surveyor on,tho democratic ticket, born at YVontzville, St. Charles county, Mo.,'on the 22d day o f Feb ruary, 1857. He is the son of a farm er and a self-made man. He taught school in his youth, but allowed opportunity of advancement iu I chosen profession ^ o pass. During vacation ho would join a railroad veyiug corps, studying as he worked. Ho confined himself to railroad en gineering until 1884, when he was olectod survoyor o f St. Charles county. Ho was re-elected to tho office iu 1888. During his first term as county surveyor ho was also a member o f tbe faculty of St. Charlos college, as pro- Mr. Joukius also held the office of city engineer in St. Charlos for nine years, and was accounted by all the boat civil engiucer in the county. He left his boyhood’s home on account of his wife’s ill health, coming to Great Falls in May, 1894. From that time to April, 1896, he busied him- a laying off townsites and irri gation canals in Lewis and Clarko and Teton counties. Seven months ago bo went up to the Blackfoot reservation to lay out irrigation can als and at the end of two months’ work was chosen by tho Indians os their representative in the Blackfoot survey. He was then commissioned by tbo government to fill this posi tion nnd remained ou tho reservation until a heavy fall of suow drovo tho government surveyor, Dr. Dunning- ton, off the ground and orders wore received from Washington to sus pend work.

Editor Columbian: Tho demo cratic mootiog at this pli tainly a success. Everybody came out to hoar “Silvor’s Champion,” Tbos. D. Long who handled the groat financial question in a masterly and scholarly manner. As much cannot bo said for tho following ovoning at which W. R. Raiusdoll spoke. Mr. Rainsdell sorted to tho dishonorable method of applying all kinds of vile opitheta a sneering way and spoaking of Mr. Long, as tho young flodgoling, and carpet-bagger. Sucl^neans are only p o r t e d to by a eerUnn element with which the people of Flathead county aro certainly familiar. In spouking of tho populist ticket Mr. Rainsdell told us that in the past a certain candidate whose mentioned, had boon addicted to drink, but in tho last yoar bo positivo that tho gontloman had not boen drunk more tbnu two or throe times. What kind of a compliment this is I am unable to say; but I will ask Mr. Raiusdoll ono question: How many times has tbo opposing candidate on tho democratic ticket been drunk since coming to Montana? he ever drunk? Mr. Ramsdell’ tactics are, to put it mildly, queer. Why should ho air tho faults of his party’s candidate for a high offi^s? W. J. Sparks, populist candidate for tho legislature, who followed Mr. Ramsdell. told hi? audience that Tom Long had only boon a resident of Montaua ton mouths. Ho was much ombarrassod whon coufrontod by A. J King at tho close of tho meeting that Mr. Long had been dent of Flathead county i year ago lost July. By tho way, I will ask tho question, how long has John Bloor been a citizen of the United States aud bow long subject of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria? _______________ F. C.
