On June the iith the following article appeared in the Townsend Forum, Messenger and Star: \Not long since, in conversation with gentlemen from Gallatin county the subject of the judge- ship for Gallatin, Meagher and Broadwater counties was intro- duced, and several excellent attor- neys names were mentioned. While Gallatin county has some splendid judicial timber, in view of the fact that from her borders has emanated all of our judges since we formed our judicial dis- trict, the Democrats of that coun- ty are disposed to be conserva- tive and let the judgeship go to one of the other counties. \Broadwater county has timber that we know would tit the ju- dicial chariot to the letter, yet on account of the age and historical prominence of our sister county across the range, our people seem to prefer a son of White Sulphur Springs for the position. \As far as we have been able to interpret the desires of the peo- ple of Broadwater county, N. B. Smith of White Sulphur Springs is the choice. He is an exemplary man in every particular and an exceptionally strong man in his profession. Meagher wants him, Broadwater wants him, and we believe Gallatin should support him.\ I have heard of a great big stralloping ignoramus of a lawyer pleading guilty for a client with a good cause, but this is the gross- est piece of treachery yet seen committed by a local newspaper. Still we are not surprised. There is nothing impossible with this concern that calls itself the Town- send Forum. Messenger and Star. Such ingratitude is beyond the power of my pen to portray. The adjectives in the English lan- guage are too feeble to modify this incorporated Townsend Fo- rum, Messenger and Star that pushes its form down to the de- pot and stands there and looks ig- norantly wise every time a train comes into our town. Even the hoboes that pass up and down our road have come to recognize this Townsend Forum, Messen- 111111111MINMEN=11111111111.111111IF ger and Star as a piece of real that the Townsend Forum, Mes- estate that belongs to the town. senger and Star had been cor- Those common hoboes have no rupted, I would suffer my tongue idea that this Townsend Forum, to cleave to the top corner of my Messenger and Star was picked mouth.

I have not known that Townsend Forum, Messenger and Star more than two years, but I have learned to love it just like God loved the children of Israel. It almost breaks my heart. Just to think that this is the same Townsend Forum, Messenger and Star that said to our county fathers: \Keep another paper out of Broadwater county and I'll be neutral—I'll give you republicans a chance.\ Think of a man wholly willing to betray his party into the hands of the republicans for the sake of the county printing and you have the same man who would betray and bind Broadwater county and deliver it over to Meagher county. P. M. Worthinghatn—the initials which stand for post master— Worthingham, who is chairman of the republican central commit- tee, told the editor of this news- paper some few months ago that such was the understanding with the Townsend Forum, Messenger world. But he had an excuse and Star and that therefore he I they were making it hot for him. thought it best not to start a re- publican newspaper in this cowl - Arnold betrayed his country.

I say the Townsend Fo- rum, Messenger and Star seems. to have forgotten. True enough. the Townsend Forum, Messenger and Star was a pious Christian then and has since been turned out of the church, but a little thing like getting turned out of the church should not cause a man to lose all regard for honor: there is yet hope for the Town- send Forum, Messenger and Star, fur the Bible, that book of books, the book upon which all other books are founded, says, \As long as life's lamp continues to burn the vilest sinner may return.\ Judas betrayed Christ for pieces of silver. I do not pre- sume to know how big the pieces were, but the good book says it was for 30 pieces, and that h.2 went out and hung himself. Peter denied Christ, the savior of the and the contempt of everyone. God pity those traitors—they de- serve to roast, but Lord. human- ity is weak. \Thc spirit is will- ing, but the flesh m. weak. - Only a few days ago this great man, N. B. Smith, this \Broadwater people's choice,\ of White Sul- phur Springs, was over in Town- send shaking paws with the Townsend Fortun, Messenger and Star. I don't pretend to say that Smith hande(I this glorious Town- send Forum, Messenger and Star a V. God forbid that I should ever imagine anything of the raise such a howl?\ I will tell you why : We started this paper in the in- terest of Broadwater county, its people and its enterprises. We stand on the same platform today. Broadwater county is democratic notwithstanding the Townsend Forum, Messenger and Star, and for some several weeks have been discussing J. F. Kanouse and E. H. Goodman as prospective candi- dates for the bench in this dis- trict. Each of these gentlemen rank among the best lawyers of Montana. For years they have kind. No, rather than to think helped to tight the battles for 1111111•1111•1111 crats of Broadwater county have * never thought of supporting any * one else. Of course, like all * * strong men in the party each those gentlemen have their fol- lowing and later on the choice of the people of Broadwater county will be named and it will be ka- nouse or it will be Goodman, and whichever it may be every dem- ocrat and republican in this coun- ty will support, and when the election is over either J. E. Ka- nouse or E. H. Goodman will be seated on the bench and preside over the district for the next term. So Brother Smith do not bank on this little taffy. You won't get a vote froln Broadwater county. You need not mind the Star, for it deals in little personalities. For instance, it refuses to print in the directory the name of W.
