HELENA, Sept. 23.HSpecial to the
LEADER. THE Sunday LEADER contain
ing Jerry Collins opinion Of Hauser and
Daly created good deal of excitement
and comment among the democrats.
Hauser's friends are mad as hornets and
will use the knife pretty freely on cleo
ton day. Hauser never forgets or for
gives an enemy, and Jerry will be un-
mercifully slaughtered. The DAILY DEM
Gratis swear eternal vengeance and are in
full war paint for election day. Taking
all in all, the family fight against Jerry
will grow stronger as election day comes
closer. 1t would not be at all surprising
to see Jerry scratched at least 700 or 800
in Helena alone.
"Only one week more," said Helena
democrat this morning to a fellow party
worker, "and we will land in the SOUP"
"What makes you think so?' said demo-
crat No. 1. "Well," said democrat No. 2,
"I've been all over Lewis and Clarke and
part of Jefferson counties during the past
ten days, and find the republicans unit
ed to a man for their whole ticket, while
our fellows are split up and haggling
over this and that candidate on our ticket.
The republicans are rustling while the
democrats are half asleep and don't care
a d--n how the election goes. l am dis
couraged and all broken up" Democrat
No. made no more inquiry about the
ticket, but started up street whistling-
@When the robins come home to roost,"
etc.
1t is rumored that DAILY has thrown up
the campaign management and that
Stapleton has taken his place. The Webb
exposure completely knocked the pins
from under DAILY and he quit the job.
The democrats are keeping the matter
quiet and deny everything. But then,
you know, it is one of the great and fund
amental principles Of democracy to deny
and straddle on all questions of religion
and politics.
In Silver Bow county the democrats are
all broken up and fighting like dogs and
cats. Clark is doing his best to quiet the
troubled waters, but the fight only grows
fiercer. No one appears to really know
what the row is about, but the unequal
distribution of Doodle is one of the causes.
1t must be pleasant for the boodlers to
thus dwell together in fellowship and
love. Silver Bow is good for 600 repub-
lican majority.
The speech of Congressman Reed in Hell
ena on Saturday was stinger. He gave
the free-tralers drubbing they will moi
forget soon. Democrats as we'll as repub'
licans cheered him every time he made
scathing point against the Doodle party or
the tariff. The speech is published and
should be read by every voter. The -
publicans of Helena are united to q mar
for the whole ticket. There will be M
scratching this election-the straight tick
etgoes. Reeds speech gave new life tt
the campaign and the battle will rage al
along the line with intense vigor for th<
next seven days. Forward to victory.
Every republican in Montana should
be up in arms this week and not lose on'
minutes work for the ticket. The demo
