EARLY Loves OF Joe Toole and Jerry
the Straldlcr.
In the Estimation OF Jerry, the Hon.
Joseph X. TOole
Is Better Fitted for Scavenger Than
for a Senator.
1t is we'll known that there has not been !
that fraternal peace and harmony be-
tween Jerry Collins and Joe Toole which |
one might expect. 1t took $3.50 in cash
in 1885 to get a decent support from
Jerry for Joe and jos has always had
lurking suspicion that Jerry tried to
knife him. So much so that in his last
speech in congress he slightingly but
truthfully calls Jerry's organ "on the
fence.' Jerry, on the other hand, has
given vent to his notions Joe, as being
lazy and tricky, as the following extracts
will show.
| It is needless to say that Jerry has al
| ways been a warm admirer of 7. G. Pow
er, has frequently suggested his name
! for congress and in 1886 he was the
brainy business man referred to by Jerry
in his editorial Of July 21st in the River
Press.
OF course Jerry will try, in his sly and
smooth way, to crawl out of this dilemma.
but the editorials in the River Press were
written at one of those rare intervals
when he had fit of truthfulness on him.
Democrats Of Cascade county, you hear
the words of your guide. Read, ponder
and vote accordingly:
River Press, May 5, 1886: The lHelena1 Inde
pendent devotes more than column to "send
or for Delegate Toole. He is flatteringly ap-
plauded and declared to be doing 'all that ener-
~, ability and personal popularity can accom-
plish for his constituents" This won't wash.
* Outside of the "spoils' business will
the Independent point us to a single thing that
Delegate T0ole has accomplished in the interest
of his constituents, since lie went to Washington,
six months ago.
JERRY GIVES JOE A LEFT HANDED BLOW.
Benton River Press, May H. 1886: The river
and harbor bill has passed the house and will
probably 60 through the senate with few changes.
Some friend Of Montana in the latter body should
protest against the injustice done the upper Mis-
souri,, inasmuch as our delegate has not seen fl
to do so.
JERRY HITS JOE SQUARE BETWEEN THE
EYES.
Benton River Press, May IL, 1889: According to
the Congressional Record Of April 80. the amount
appropriated, or to be appropriated, for the Mis-
souri, river from Sioux City to Fort Benton Is bu
the insignificant sum Of $28,000, while $500,0OO Il
to be given to the lower and less important par
of the stream from Sioux City to the mouth.
While this outrage was being perpetrated
not single voice was raised to protest against it
Montana is more interested in the matter thai
any other state or territory yet it does not appea
!. that Delegate Toole gave the subject thought.
Our delegate was probably too busy look
ing after the appointment of somebody to offlc
and exercising all his liability, energy and persoT
III popularity in that direction.
=" JERRY SOUNDED PUBLIC OPINION IN HEI
ENA AND FOUND 1T AGAINST JOE.
>, Benton River Press, June g. 1886: We did nc

Of the delegate were free to say it would be to til
best interest of the party to nominate anothe
man, one who would be acceptable to all. I'll
denomination Of Delegate T00le is the deare
wish Of every republican, but We Register guess
that the democrats will not do anything OF Il
III kind.
il JERRY GETS MAD AND HITS JOE ON TIL
NOSE.
j Uyo I'm
heard the question loudly asked III Benton al
softly echoed at the Falls BY the opponents tot
denomination OF Joe Toole: 'What has 4ie do
for this country?" 1t is the belief Of a few that
territorial delegate does not represent any "cou
ty., but his entire district.-Choteau correspoi
ence Rising Sun.
Well. what has he done for his entire district,
"a any part of it? We have burning desire to
'a' Informed on this subject
JERRY AGREES WITH THE MlsSOULA TIM
THAT THE REPUBLICANS WOULD
LIKE NOTHING BETTER
THAN JOE.
Benton River Press, June 9, 1885: Would
~ bourbons kindly allow the republicans the MOI
nn of naming the democratic cannible for delegate
congress, Toole would be chosen unanimous

JERRY GIVES JOE BLOW UNDER THE LIE
EYE.
VS Repton River Press, June q, 1886: 1t Is not
particular family affair, but it looks to us as Il
would be very unfair for Montana democrat

The Herald Is not the only republican paper

side Of the house.
JERRY GIVES JOE A DOUBLE FIsTER IN I
NECK
BENTON River Press, July q, 1856: Inc

thority, that j. K. Toole will not seek sec
DIRK term in congress. The River Press has poi

right: there will be no weeping or wailinG OF

JERRY CLUBS JOE OVER THE HEAD
- BENTON River Press, July Il: Would 1t not
mes wise move for both political parties to drol
ment n scheming politicians this time and select
candidate for delegate to congress from an
