least 5000. The betting was 100 to
20 on Carter last week.. and the
odds have increased since then. The
election of Blake as chief justice,
Richards as lieutenant governor, and,
in fact, of the whole Republican state
ticket except Power is conceded. /. &.
Power, of Helena, is the Republican
nominee for governor. His nomination
was opposed by the members OF his
own delegation, but his forces in the
outside party of the territory were so
thoroughly organized that there was no
possibility of defeating him. ltwas re-
garded as weak nomination at first.
but there is no doubt that he has gained
strength rapidly He will fall behind
his ticket, as his opponent, Joseph X.
TOOle, is a popular man. Still. Powers
is strong in some of the most solid DEM
ocratie precincts. For instance. Chateau
county is almost certain to give him
majority, but [ do not think IT will do
the same by any other man on the
ticket. Power. through Helena man,
is strong on the West Side. He was
nominated by WeStsiderS and they will
stand behind him in solid phalanX.
1.-The fight. however, is for the con-
troll of the legislature. The Democrats
will sacrifice anything to obtain this.
They are trading TOole and Maginnis
for votes for the members of the legiS-
lature, and are devoting all their energy
to carrying 1t. 1t is impossible to make
anYapredictiOn as TO how it will go. as
both parties are doing all in their
power to carry it. If it goes Repub-
lican, one United States senatorship
will in all probability go to Colonel
Wilbur F. Sanders. This is by no means
certain, as there is much good timber.
If the Westsiders could unite on some
man he would be sure of the short
term, but they cannot do it, and conse-
quently the question has not been dis
cuSSed to any extent. Among the East
siders, any one of whom would fill the
position with credit, are Col. Sanders,
l.. Ii. HerShfield and A. j. Seligman.
The names of the two former are most
prominently mentioned. though neither
of them can be said to be in the field as
yet. In point of fact the question has
not been discussed at all.
THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
son the D Democratic side the case is
altogether different. Senator Hearst
and J. B. HaggiH want to control the
senators, and Marcus Daily is in their
employ. He is chairman of the state
central committee. His business occu-
pies so much Of his time that he would
never think of accepting one OF the SELL
atorshipS himself. His nominee for the
position is Judge W. w. Dixon, of
Butte, one of the finest men in Montana,
and one who would be a credit to the
state. From the East side eX-Gov.
Samuel 7. HauSer is the fav0rte. He
is determined to have it, and claims to
have done certain things which entitle
him to it. Here is where very anus
ing hitch comes in. Col. c, a. Broad
water and Sam HauSer have no use for
each other personally. They together
with DAILY and ". a. Clark, of Butte
(Who was defeated by Carter for congress
last falD, make up the qualtette who
are familiarly known as the big
Four" Col. Broadwater will not see
HauSer in the senate if anything he can
do will prevent it. Furthermore. he
says that MaginniS is being sacrificed
on tile party altar. and is. entitled TO the
senator5hip. Hauser does not see It In
quite the same light, and is apparently
ION top Just at present. To still more
complicate the situation, w. a. Clark
has not recovered from the disastrous
result of his defeat last fall. He has
openly declared that Marcus DAILY is re-
sp0nsible for his defeat, having worked
hard for Carter. In consequence or this
he will do anything in his power
to prevent DAILY or Daly's NOM
inee from getting it. He has
his eyes cast towards Washington, and
is worth at least s.. 600, 600. Hauser and
DAILY are pulling together and Broad
water and Clark understand each other.
Both of the latter have expressed them
selves freely about what they consider
the 'hoggiShuess' of the other pair.
Whether they will carry their dis
gruntled opposition far enough to work
against their party remains to be seen,
but there are many MOntanians who
fear that sooner than allow Hauser and
Dixon Daly's nominees 10 become
United States senators, they will try to
defeat the Democratic legislative ticket.
Republicans are jubilant over the snari,
but make more out of it than the cir
cumstances justify, for it is unlikely
that the jealousy Of Broadwater and
Clark will carry them to the lengths
that we Republicans hope.
THE LEGISL ALIVE FIGHT.
1.-The election next Tuesday will be
very close Oh the Legislative ticket, and
may 20 either way. No one can tell
with any degree of certainty until the
ballots are counted. This Australian
system is going to cause some startling
surprises. The town of Anaconda, for
instance, which is owned by Marcus
DAILY, and where the Republican mer-
chants scarcely dare to open their
mouths, is confidently claimed for the
Republicans by men who have been at
work among the men there. The
| men all over the territory real
ize that whichever way they vote
their bosses cannot possibly find out.
This will make more Republican votes
than Democratic, as the men who
work in the Smelters are those most
afflicted by it, They have been forced
to register under penalty OF discharge.
| Some men under tWenty-0ne years old
were discharged because of their in
| ability to register and vote. An anus
| ing incident occurred at Anaconda the
| week before registration ceased. A
notary public had been appointed dep
uty clerk of the court, and had taken
| his books down to the Smelter office,
| and with the assistance of the time
| keeper there naturaliZed over 400 Ital-
| ians whose knowledge of English was
| confined to the word Democrat"
| When these men had received their
| first papers they all thought they had
| been paid off and presented the papers
at Marcus Daly's bank, expecting
| to receive money in return for what
they thought were cheques.
/ "Bets have been made freely on the
results. The odds are long on Carter,
| with few takers. A week ago they
! were betting 100 to 20 on Toole for gov
ernor. These odds gradually dwindled
| till the betting was even on Sunday.
There has not been much money put
up on the legislative ticket, neither
party knowing just what is being done
| in the outside counties. 1t would be a
poor bet to give odds either way"
