We find out what is happening in the town of Hingham for this 23rd installment of this series celebrating the 150th anniversary of Montana Territory. Here are some entries found in the June 12, 1914 issue of the Hingham Review.
It was an election year in 1914, and Hill County positions were open for candidates.
About County Politics
More than twenty candidates have already filed their petitions with County Clerk and Recorder J. H. Devine, and it is expected that quite a number more will do likewise, at least that is what we infer from current talk. It is hard telling what the complexion of the campaign is going to be, but present indications are that it is going to be a warm one to say the least.
Hyrum Christiansen announces that he will be a candidate for the nomination on the republican ticket for county commissioner and has filed his petition with Clerk and Recorder Devine. Mr. Christensen has lived here almost twenty years, and owing to his wide acquaintance and reputation for integrity, he will be a hard man to defeat.
The Hingham Review and Hingham Commercial Company teamed up to hold a piano contest. Five pianos, a gold watch and a sewing machine were up for grabs. The contest began on July 1, 1914, and would end on January 1, 1915. Every 60 days — Sept. 1 and Nov. 1 — special prizes such as silverware were to be given away. Contestants for the prizes had to be female and nominated “in regular form,” using a coupon found in the Review. She had to live within 30 miles of Hingham. Nominations would close on July 15, and voting coupons would also be published in the Review or available at the Review or Commercial Company’s offices. Anyone could vote for the lady of his or her choosing. The prizes were to be awarded to the seven ladies according to who received the most votes.
