sHINBONE SOUP AND CABBAGE.
Will the "Old Wal Hoss" eat senatorial
oats2 If he should then, indeed, will
shinbone soup and cabbage be a luxury
to workingmenp In the ~colonel's mum
erOus, lengthy and gilt-edged speeches
he has never once had the time nor the
inclination to tell the workingmen Of
the Timberline 0utrages of which he was
the author and champion. Nor has he
ever aver dared to attempt to explain
way his connection with that outrage,
or to assert himself as the friend of the
workingman. And everybody knows, who
knows the tricky colonel, that iG is a very
tough 'layout" against which he is
afraid to pit his matchless eloquence and
towering logic. The tricks of the aver
age man are not much to be feared for
average men can turn them inside out,
but the safest thing for the average man
to do is to let the colonel severely alone or
he will have the experience and the col
onel will have the spoils. The Republi-
can press of the territory has a good deal
to say about the use of the personal pro-
noun by the Hon. Martin Maginnis and
the Hon. j. X. TOOle. These men are not
ashamed of their record. They can say
with honorable pride, II assisted in doing
this and that" Where is the Republican
candidate who can say as muchp Speak
out. If the "Old War Hoss" should in
dulge in very much Of an II did" cam
paign, how soon would the astute Repub-
lican managers in Montana stable
himp They wouldn't even blanket him
to keep him from catching cold. Will
somebody name the Republican "hoss"
Of Montana, old or young, tricky or true,
that can say II did it" without hiding
his face in shame. Name him and tell
us what he did. Toole and Maginnis
had each a record Of which all Mon
tanians, irrespective Of party, should feel
proud. ToOle in congress, Maginnis a
Union soldier, his body riddled with bull
let's and his life-blood ebbing away on
the battle field of Gettysburg; Maginnis,
all through the wal where danger and
death were thickest; Maginnis, years
after at Arlington Heights, the chosen
orator Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, and Maginnis In congress. There
can be no comparison Of the record of
these two great Democratic chieftains !
with that of Power and Carter for the
two latter have none. Power yves his
entirely to the size of his .
bank account and the promises which he
made the Republican managers to draw .
upon it literally for campaign purposes
and to defeat the will Of the people. '
Carriers only claims to distinction are .
that he has a very rich brother in-law in '
Helena and that he happens to be the .
candidate Of the Missoula Mercantile '
company Of Missoula. a corporation :
that owns all that part Of the =
;erritory and is striving to own the bal =
lnce, especially Montsna's numbering in .
and in acquiring the possession y
Il which Mr.. Carter might prove very '
lseful in congress. Carter was the chosen 7
andidate for delegate in congress of the ? ?
dissoula Mercantile company last year, :
nd he Is its chosen candidate this year. !,
he Missoula Mercantile company is one :,
I the wealthiest corporations in the !"
northwest, and anybody who knows the y
usiness makeup OF its managers knows 9,
hat when they spend as much money to !
lact a man to congress as they did last
Ill to elect Thomas II. Carter, and as
hey are spending now to re-elect him,
that there is a job of unparalleled
lagnitude on hands for Mr.. Carter to X
and In all probability more than in
ne. Talk about intimidation, BULLDOG or
lg, coercion, or call it what you may, of in
nployes there is no more conspicuous
Of it in all Of this country than th
10 Missoula Mercantile company OF Mis- re
ula; and Notwithstanding the boosted ,.
australian system" they propose to do
again, and they are doing it now.
Let every workingman remember that
Q Missoula Mercantile company is the
eat cheap labor syndicate Of Montana; al
at it has grown Immensely rich by the m .n'
