Monarch, Oct. 29.
Montana News: Herewith $12, $10 for News stock and $2 for two cards unpaid for, left with me by Comrade Lynch some time ago. I will try and get some three months' subs. The Appeal has been pretty well represented here because it was a cheap paper, but I cannot say that it is a popular paper. I get better results from pamphlets. All the boys here are well pleased with The News. The old mossbacks here have quietly handed it out that Rector is crazy on Socialism. If this be true there will be a good job here for an insane commission after election, for a majority of Monarch voters will be declared bughouse by the old witchcraft gang. Yours for the dawn of a better day,
J. M. RECTOR.
