   BILLINGS — The Libertarian candidate in Montana's U.S. Senate race
   threw his support behind Republican Matt Rosendale on Wednesday in
   response to an election mailer from an unknown group that appeared
   aimed at undermining Rosendale's support among conservatives.

   Rosendale, Montana's state auditor and insurance commissioner, is in a
   tight race against two-term Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, with the
   balance of power in the closely divided Senate potentially at play.

   Libertarian Rick Breckenridge has virtually no chance of winning. But
   his participation has threatened to peel away votes that might
   otherwise go toward the Republican and boost Tester's chances next
   week.
