A letter rails at Democratic candidates as dummies, recounting Beaverhead political history from 1892. It accuses the Tribune and Republicans of boosting ineffectual or self serving lawmakers like Geo M Brown Flemming Knippenberg and others, noting resignations and sporadic elections through 1902 and beyond.

The Beaverhead county Democratic Party urges voters to compare Democratic nominees Mesera Jahnke and Gleed with Republican contenders Decker and Selway.
