TION WILL CONVENE
"THERE TODAY.
ABOUT TWELVE CANDIDATES
Many Will Fight For Nomination But
Indications Seem to Favor Senator
Donlan and Charles M. Webster,
Both Have Strong Delegations.
HELENA, Sept. 16-The republi
can state convention will convene to
morrow. The big contest it is an
ticipated will be over the guberna
torial nomination for which there is
no less than 12 candidates. Popular
sentiment seems to indicate the nomi
nation lies between State Senator
Donlan of Mi. soula and Charles M.
Webster both of whom are backed by
strong delegations. However it is not
thought unlikely that the convention
may unite upon Lee Mantle for
United States Senator as comprom
ise nominee.
HAVOC FOR STRAW HATS.

target. Although there was less de
molishing of hats on' the stock ex
change than in former years the curb
change as well as the lower corridor
of the produce exchange, kept up the
precedent in good shape.
