A Bag Out Of Which the Cat Premaiurely

Our republican brethren are nothing if not
stlategica!. With an astuteness which would
do infinite credit to Marshall Jewell, of the
national committee, they have discovered that
unless something DE done in the present
canvass to offset the dainning evidence Of
fraud which We have made public in relation
to their purchase Of two so called he Wspapers
of this territory, the consequences are likely
to be very distressing to the territorial and
county republican tickets They have, there
fore, with consummate sasacity and doubt
less at an expense of much valuable time,
decided upon d deep laid plot intended,
doubtless, to annihilate tie influ ence CT IL is
paper. We must concede the superiority OF
this immortal piece of political stratagem,
and should like to allow our republican
brethren to spring the trap at a time best
suited to their generous and high minded
purposes; yet, conceiving it to be the duty
of every newspaper to publish information of
any interest to the public, we can not refrain
from making known the particulars of this
very interesting, though, We fear, abortive
scheme, which was communicated TO us as a
party secret by an oyer Jealous supporter Of
the Rev. Wllbur F. Sanders.
The plot is simply this: On Monday
night, or Tuesday morning, too late for the
MINER to prove III. incorrethess oftleyarn,
the republicans are to circulate the charge
that the MINER has been bought up 10 sup
port Major Magiin.is for congress. and that
Efgo!ihe distinguished clergyman who heads
the Republican ticket should be sent to
Washington. This very pretty ccncocaon
has been sent TO our beloved co,em, the Her.

The ''Eaa'' Law.
Mass"

we were yesterday shown a certified COW
OF the history of the so-called "gag" law,
and the workingmen of this camp will doubt
less be interested to know That it was intro
duced by Sanders and voted for by Sanders,
The Sanders who introduced it, We believe,
was Julius Sanders, brother of the illustrious
gentleman who is now running a losing race
against Maginnls, and we will leave it 20 the
intelligence of our readers to decide whether
the willy Colonel instructed his brother to in
troduce the measure or not. While DESTROYS
Of its passage, he perhaps feared to be the first
to advocate it, and his brother may have
proved a willing tool for the accomplishment
of that purpose. When tn. bill reached the
house, however, Mr.. War Horse Sanders
voted for its passage, and the record to that
effect is duly certified to by the secretary of
the territory. We understand that in the hall
of the Butte workingmen's organization this
bill, as enacted, is framed and hangs on the
wall. Before the working men of this camp
deposit their ballots next Tuesday we advise
them to visit their hall and to read that bill.
1t was introduced by Sanders brother,
whether at the Colonel's instieation OR not
We will leave our readers to judge, and voted
for by the man who now aspires to a seat in
| congress. Let the miners examine that bill,
we repeat, and then come down and vote &C.
cording to their convictions. We trust they
are too independent and have too high an ap-
probation of their rights to allow their votes
to be peddled out to the republicans. Vote
for Maginnis!

An Old Miner States Why They Should Support
Maginnis,
And Refuse to Have Their Votes Peddled Out to tn o
Republicans.
Editor Butte MINER:

Editor Butte MINER.
The writer, as well as a great many
other voters of Butte and Walkeryille.
would like to have Col. Sanders explain be-
fore election day how he came to vote in the
last session of the Montana legislature for the
following entitled bill: ''An act to prevent
unlawful interference with private rights and
private property" more commonly known
among the miners and workipgmen as the
"Gag Law" Now if the gallant Colonel did
vote for the above bill, and l think there IS no
doubt but that he did, how he can have the
cheek to ask the miners and working class of
people of this community, for whose special
benefit the bill was originally introduced, to
vote for him is a downright mystery to me.
But, Mr.. Editor, % years. experience among
this class of people, and NEST of that time
one OF them myself, assures me that they
will do no such thing. The working class to-
day are thoroughly alive to their interests,
and know full well that every vote they cast
for Sanders is a vote directly against every
interest they, as freemen, hold dear.
lulS law tnat SANDERS VOteu lOf Is a DlOC
upon our statute books, and ought to be re-
| pealed the first week the next legislature
| convenes, and the miners and liberty loving
people, irrespective of politics, will say swell
done good and faithful servants"' The writ
er knows well that it is only necessary to
draw the lines down closely on this subject
and show the people the course Sanders took
| against their rights as citizens of. this free re-
public to send the man who always proved
staunch and true under all circumstance
out of this district with a clear majority OF
500.
As a choice between Major Maginnis and
Col. Sanders, there is only one course for the
| Miners and workingmen to pursue in the
face of the above facts, and that is to cast
their votes as a unit on the second of Novcm-
Der for Hon. Martin Maginnis.
Trusting you can find space for this com
munication in your valuable paper, am
Respectfully yours,

The democratic torch-light procession last
night, which was the first even seen in Butte,
was a grand success. One hundred torches
were in line, aud two hundred more were
called for by enthusiastic democrats anx-
ious to signalize their devotion to
Major Maginnis and the county nom
ineas. Some Of the notices on the
transparencies were very suggestive. A few
of them were as follows: "The Unien for
eyer, but 10 Fort Union p "Hancock, En-
glish and MaglEnis )" "Maginnis the friend Of
the miner, of the farmer, and of Montana :
"No coalition with our enemies y 1920

The north and south crosscuts from tn,
bottom of the Magma Charta shaft have eacl
attained a length of 80 feet.
A decided improvement is noticeable in tn,

the east aud west drifts are being pushed Wig
orously ahead. The vein is three feet wide.
Some very high grade ore is being extracted
from the Ophir. The shaft is down onl,.
about So feet, but already a bonanza has beef
struck.
Everything is lovely in the Bell. Sinking
in the whip shaft continues, and on its attain
ing a depth Of lS5 feet a drift to connect witt
the workings from the east shaft will b.
started. The Clipper mill is running on thu
product from the south vein.
The Salisbury, which is under lease to Mi
Anderson, is producing steadily, and regula
shipments are being made to the Burlington
mill. Operations are at present confined t,

On the Grey Rock and Lexington sinking
has not yet been resumed in the new shafts
owing to the delayed arrival of the necessar,
machinery.

But alas fer the stupidity and bad dis
cipline of our would-be benefactors. They
have not agreed OF the amount We received
as subsequent enquiries showed-one man
stated that the amount was 1920, another
that it was 5000, and still another that our
price was $4,000. This difference of opinion is
really awful, and if our friends expect to
make a single vote by this impending dis
closure, we implorc them to unite on some
price, and to explain why a paper which has
always been democratic should be paid for
supporting a democratic nominee.
One republican mysteriously Informed lis
that Maglnnis had bought a half interest in.
this paper, and that IN the event of his defeat
he will act as chief editor. OF course, if the
i'm Immaculate Herald, which, unlike George
Washington, never told the truth, makes all
these charges, it would be foolish TO deny
them, yet we will state that if any Of our we'll
meaning friends can show that the MINER
has received or will receive a dollar, or any
number of dollars, to support Maginnis, we
will donate the amount to the republican
campaign fund.
