And we boldly array ourselves on the side of tbe people in the battle now being O igbt by the republican party in their be h»'f against greed and graft, against the evils of rebating, favoritism and discriminations iu th 'state, and tbe inter-state commerce of our country. We commend President Roosevelt for tip: vfrong handed manner in tyhich he has placed Uimsflf on the side of the common peop|e. umj the learless course taken in advocating purity In politics and lijp doctrines which have made our country u rent We unhesitatingly approve of Lite action of Congress in its attempts to increase the poweifc Uf (lie inters talc Commence foiomjsstnn tp ip.legating to that tribunal authority to Hi ■ b - rates 01: commerce boiweeil tbe kiules. vt e especially commend all efforts now be nr put forth bv our party designed to prevent 8 lectal privileges to tbe lew at tbe expense ol tie'm iny.

We know him to be a man above reproach, and we beg to commeud him to the people of the state as worthy of their i confidence and support. We most heartily en dorse his candidacy for the office of Governor believing that none but the best men should be chosen as our party leaders, and none but the best should be selected as th* chief execu tive of this great state.

The Guard is a neat little paper. well edited and is in the center of the Big Horn Basin. George will make a suc cess of it, we know. The convention held by the Sher man county republicans last Friday was the most harmonious and withal the most pleasant within its history. From the opening to the close, not one ripple of disagreement or conten tion marred the pleasure of the oc casion. This was a severe blow to some malcontents who claim party allegiance, as well as to the opposition, but proclaimed in no uncertain tones that the republican party as a whole did not propose to allow disruption to enter to any degree into party w orkings. All agree, friends and foes alike, that the convention was such an one as portends success this fail. In another column will be found the proceedings in detail. The conven tiou witli utmost enthusiasm allowed their esteemed former townsman. Hon. John Wall, to name his own delegation to tile state convention, and when lie was called before the convention to make a few remarks, lie was greeted with even a more friendly ovation from his old friends and neighbors than he had for one moment imagined would be the case. On the county attorneyship question, not one tiling marred the harmony of the convention, much to the bitter dissappointment of the opposition. Hon. R. J. Nightingale graoefully withdrew from the race, in a few well chosen words, and there being no other candidates before the con vention for that office. Robert P. Starr was made the unanimous choice of the delegates, and responded in a neat little speech of thanks for the honor conferred. For representative, C. T. McKinnie of Washington town ship, H. Smelser of Ashton and R. J. Nightingale of Loup City each re ceived a flattering vote on the in formal ballot, but the two latter gentlemen declining to allow their names to be considered, the conven tion unanimously gave the honor to Carl T, McKinnie. who also thanked the delegates for the honor and promised, if elected, as he will be. to honor the county in his legislative work to the utmost of his ability. All in all, the work of the convention is one to be proud of. Death ot Mrs. Geo. Lee. Mrs. Geo. Lee died at her home in tliis city last Sunday after a lingering illness.
