"While there is some Clark strength
I think there is no douht that the
democrats of .Montana will instruct
their delegates to the national con
vention for ViKon. In the republican
eanip, Uooocvelt seems to he ih"
choice over Tuft."
Governor .Innies II, Ilnwley of

slate, predicted that WiNou would
sweep the statu against any republi

"I believe Wilson gels tho Idaho
delegation," Ilawlcy said. "Of course
tlio state is nounally strong- republi
can, but thoro is a big split between
tho standpatters and tlio progressives
of that party this year. Tho people
of Idaho have always thought well
