EDITOR OF THE LEADER
The political matters today remain in
statu quo. Public sentiment is vet with
the republicans. The course of the dem
ocratic senators in remaining away from
the court house when they were called
by their own "Joe" deserves the disap-
proval of all we'll minded citizens. 1t
cannot be sustained on any grounds what
ever. These men are blocking the wheels
OF the government, all for the purpose of
aiding Hauser and some other boodlers
to get into the United States senate. J.
K. Toole has evidently put his foot in it.
He will never be reelected to any office
in this county; republicans here who
scratched their ticket now regret it.

1t is fun for the boys who have no po-
litical aspirations to watch the course of
some of the Doodle candidates. Lots of
dinners are being given just now. Mem
bers of the legislature are made to feel
that they are little Gods. Men who a
few weeks ago would not notice them on
the street, now listen to every word
which falls from their lips. Whiskey
flows as freely as water, but the way to
the United States senate is not easy for
the boodler, and some of their articles for
winning votes are so transparent that
they excite the ridicule of the legisla-
tors.

| Sam Hauser has double game to win
He is extremely anxious first, that the
democratic party shall get in and yet he
has wit enough to see that his party is
beaten at every turn. The coup de TAFT
of Toole did not bring the results ex-
pected. Moreover he is conscious that
even should he succeed in bringing the
republican members over to the demo-
cratic side, Broadwater, whom he pro-
fesses to despise, stands a good chance
to lay him out. He had us soon see the
devil go to the United States senate as
Broadwater or his friend. On the other
hand Broadwater has the same amiable
feeling towards Sam Hauser and both of
them are afraid Of Clark. DAILY is yet in
the east. His sickness was caused large
| ly by the results of the last election and
he takes little interest in the final re-
suits.

Thanksgiving was spent in the usual
manner in Helena. Several of the
churches united and held services in the
M. E. church. Jane Eyre was given by
the Charlotte Thompson Co. Extra fine
dinners were given at all the hotels. AT
the Broadwater the menu was superb, in
Guiding among other things oysters on
the half she'll, green turtle soup, duck
goose, chicken, turkey and everything
else. We heard party say that it took
him just two hours to get through the
different courses at the Broadwater.

The Hotel Broadwater, as it's proprietor
calls 1t, is getting to be one of the princi,
pal resort at Helena. 1t was started late
in the season and will undoubtedly be
run on expense this winter. Still the
rooms are much more commodius thar
those at any other hotel in Helena. The
prices are but little in advance There
are plenty of bath rooms in the mair
building, and it has all the conveniences
of first-class hotel in any city in the
country. The big pool is not frequenteG
as much as few months ago. Many
persons have taken cold owing to theil
