chairman of the Democratic territorial
committee, was born in Ireland, but came
to this country when a boy and began life
by selling newspapers on the streets of New
York. Al]ured by tho tales OF gold in Cali
fornia he managed to secure a steerage
berth to San Francisco by the Isthmus
route and, arriving in that city unknown
and without friends or money early in the
flush times OF the coast, he resumed his
calling of selling papers and at last, by
economy and enterprise, be anne interested
with Mackey, Fair, Haggin and Hearst in
the Comstock lode. He is now the owner.

mining and smelting. property in the west.

partner. These works employ 1000 men
and paid last year for transportation
50, 500, 900.
He is q shrewd, aggressive man, with
great executive ability, u%nbounded courage
and, as might be expected from his career
and anteced nts, instinctively a Democrat.
He has great wealth, but lives simply
amongst his employees and has their I'M
bounded confidence.
A few miles from Anaconda, in the great
mining town of Butte City, lives W liam A.
Clarke, the Democratic candidate for con-
gressioGal delegate last fall and president
OF the late constitutional convention.
He is also q self-made man, havingtaught
ID country school at Georgetown, Pettis
county, Mo-, in 1901, to which place he |
came from one of the Northern states, poor
and friendless. From Missouri Mr.. Clarke
went to Montana and engaged in mining,
having often dug out the ore hii, self, sacked
it and carried the sacks a number of miles
on his back to the works where it was
smelted. He is now a very wealthy man
and at the head of many great enterprises,
but be still finds time for literature and art
to which ne is ardently devoted and is an
accomplished linguist. He is an earnest,
devoted Democrat, not one of the summer
variety, but one of the "hard winter kind
whom no frost or cold can hurt. That he
has energy, courage and brains hi. life and
it's results sufficiently show.
