Public notice from B L Poindexter, editor, dated September 1902, stating the Dillon Montana paper is published every Wednesday and mailed to subscribers until orders to discontinue and arrears are paid. Subscription price listed as $2 per year in advance.
The Dillon Examiner proclaims it offers the largest bona fide paid circulation in Beaverhead county and invites advertisers to inspect subscription records and mailing lists.
The piece attacks Beaverhead County standpatters for criticizing the Progressive wing of the Republican Party and branding them traitors. It recalls 16 years ago when Silver Republicans bolted, formed a rival ticket, and defeated the party. The author argues Progressives face similar ridicule and asks why critics are surprised.
The Examiner recalls previous coverage of Beaverhead county finances and tax increases. Republicans challenged figures and accused the paper of personal attacks while defending the county administration amid calls for clarity and accountability.
A letter argues that criticism of a candidate’s record is not personal and that tax notices reveal the Republican administration’s high levy. It urges a change after six years of GOP rule in Beaverhead county, noting tax rates rose to a historic peak. The note also mentions local business moves and social visits, plus a potential theater date for The Third Degree.
The Herald reports three polls indicating Wilson would win a historic electoral majority. Roosevelt appears second, Taft third in Connecticut where Debs is shown ahead of Taft.
The American people from all parties rejoice at ex-President Roosevelt escaping an assassin’s bullet. Gratitude pours from citizens as news confirms he is out of danger, showing he still holds the public’s affection despite sharp political differences.
A rumor claims a $1,000 reward will go to any working man in the United States who votes for Taft, but no payment appears imminent and no recipient is identified.
Straw polls suggest changing public sentiment as the so-called man of straw appears to lose ground and fall from the political scene, signaling a potential realignment before upcoming elections.
