A large number of the candidates on the democratic county ticket were present. but the main speaker of the evening, Mr. Stephen J. Cowley, as- sistant county attorney, of Great Falls, failed to put in an appearance, much to the disappointment of the crowd and the chagrin of the candidates who depended upon him to do the talking for the bunch. A. A. Freseman, Jr.. presided as chairman of the meeting and intro- duced as the first speaker, Frank C. Murray of Great Falls, candidate for representative. After apologizing for the non-appearance of the regular speaker, reviewed the ticket nominated by the democrats, making reference Thomas J. ‘Valsh of lIelena, who the democratic candidate for U. senator. He spoke of the opportun- ity the people have in this election to elect their senator by popular vote and that each of the democratic candidates had signed - Statement No. 1 - and filed same with the county clerk, which provides that they will vote to elect the candidate for United States senator w ho receives the highest popu- lar vote, regardless of party affiliation. NIr. Murray then reviewed the candidates for the legislature and laid stress on the fact that they represent especially the farmer and working men. NI r.

About the time the shipment was made the market took a drop of about 50 cents and they , were afraid they would not get the high prices that prevailed for several weeks pre sous. but the drop proved to be of short duration. 'Ube prices received . by the local N shi users for their tops were from $8.00 a cigar manufacturer in Great Falls I to $8.35 in most cases, while others with poorer cattle received in the neighborhood of $7.50 to $7.85. Cows and heifers brought $6.00 to $6.35 in most cases. Steers shipped from here Sunday.

These prices are the highest ever dreamed of for range cattle, and are didate two years ago.
