An early period piece contends that replacing phrases such as homicidal occurrences and Park county with modern terms yields a remark on auto deaths in Montana. It contrasts Governor Aiken’s statement on who wins elections with Montana figures like James E. Murray and Burton Wheeler, noting how several Montanans were elected and how professors like Woodrow Wilson are described in terms of election outcomes.
