JERRY KICKS JOE ON THE sHINs.
Benton River Press, August II, 1885,
The democratic convention is coming on
apace and the Independent is busily en-
ga-od in booming Delegate Toole for
another term. The republican organs
and leaders are helping the thing along
as much as possible. They are more anx-
ious for Toole's denomination than any
bodyelse.
JERRY LOVES DAVIDSON, BUT
HATES TOOLE.
Benton River Press, August II, 1856
Mr. A. J. Davidson has been elected |
chairman of the democratic central COM
mittee of Lewis and Clarke county and |
he will prove just the man for the place. |
If it is necessary to have Missourian
represent Montana in Congress, why not
bring "Dave" to the fire? He is "busi- |
ness man" and worth dozen Toole's put |
together.
JERRY REVIEWS JoE's DO1NGs ON
THE RESERVATION QUESTION.
Benton River Press, August II, 1885,
We have heard SO much from the 1nde-
pendent and Miner (organs that are en-
gagged in the great work of booming
Toole for second term) about our dele
gates efforts in behalf of the opening Of
the northern reservation, that we are
prompted to stop and inquire what par
ticularly wonderful services he rendered
in that connection. We would be pleas
ed to have bill of particulars in the
premises.
JERRY SAYS "rOOLE WAS AS
DUMB AS AN OYSTER"
Benton River Press, August 1e, 1885,
We hear good deal in the Toole organs
about the wonderful efforts put forth
during the session by our delegate i'll the
interest of the territory. Whatever he
NAV have accomplished in other sections,
we are certain that northern Montana
would be quite as we'll off if the territory
had NO representative at the national cap
ital. We have shown how small part
he placed in the matter Of Indian legisla-
tion with reference to the opening of the
northern reserve and the railroad right OF
way bill and to further illustrate our po'
sition, desire to call public attention to
his almost criminal neglect Of the upper
Missouri river.
It is a matter of fact and history ane
capable of absolute proof, that Delegate
Toole paid no more attention to the up
per Missouri river than he did to the D'
Lessep Panama canal scheme. This l
true, Notwithstanding the fact that th'
upper river was shamefully and outrage
ously treated and the additional fact tina
this same river is the salvation Of Nor
taua in the matter of transportation rate
The delegate from Montana in the inte1
est of the whole territory, could NJ
have done greater service to his constl
uents than to have increased the appr'
priation for the improvement OF the VI
per Missouri to fair and proper amour
or at least to have made determined e
fort to that end. But when $50O,OOO ws
appropriated to the lower Missouri, whe1
there is no commerce and the pittance
S60.OOO for the upper river Of the highe
commercial Importance and where the
are two boats to one below, Toole :"
as dumb as an oyster. He did not ev'
appear before the committee to prote
against and rebuke this outrage; in IL
at no time during the session did ne
terest himself in this matter, vitality
fecting the welfare of Montana. Wh
it was under discussion in the house
has not heard; in truth, while Monta
interests were assailed right and left,
never, in a single instance, during the
tire session, got upon his feet in
house to offer q remonstrance or to ma
tain the rights or defend the honor
Montana. It is the first time since
organization of the territory that NJ
tana has virtually had no voice

The River Press maintaining that
utter neglect of the Missouri river on
to be sufficient to condemn MIR. Ioolt
the estimation Of the people OF north
Montana. who are more directly inter
ed in the matter, but unfortunately
is not his only sin OF omission ana c
