WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 22.-Within a
short time an organized move on the part
OF the Democratic congressional committee
will be made in Montana to help the CAM
paign OF the man who may be nominated
to succeed Mr.. Carter. An especial effort
is to be made to elect Democrat in the
state, for reasons which are to some extent
geographical. They want foothold in the
Northwest 1t was a question for some
time whether to make an effort in Idaho or
Montana. 1t has been decided that Idaho
is hopeless, in view of the natural strength
of the Republicans and the satisfactory
frame of mind in which the lead-ore tariff
schedule has left the people. Another
fact which drew the Democratic leaders
to look with covetous eyes on Montana
was the refusal of Mr.. Carter to be a candi-
date for reelection. That, it is publicly
announced. was due to fear on Carter's
part that his defeat was likely. Acting on
this theory, the Democrats have aroused
hope in their own breasts. They are
mighty glad that Carter is out of the race,
for they think he would have been the
hardest man for them to beat. The
Democratic congressional committee would
also take an especial pride in capturing
man from the very home of the secretary
OF the opposition committee.
One of the campaign methods will be to
scatter the Democratic literature growing
out OF the contest for seats in the Senate
last winter. The Democratic speeches on
the subject. with the minority reports, will
be sent there IN large quantities. Mr.. Car
ter, however, as director OF the Republican
mittee, is making arrangements to
parry this Democratic blow and at the
same time counter. Mr.. Carter is in cor
respondents with Republicans of his state
and processes 10 believe that a Republican
will be his successor.

FIREMAN SARGENT VERY HOT.


He Sides with POwderly and Denounces
webb's Insolence.
TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 22.-F. p. Sargent,
grand master OF the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, arrived here this evening
from New York. In an interview with an
Associated Press representative Sargent
said the first thing when the council gets
together tomorrow would be his own re-
port of what he had learned on his visit to
New York and in his interview with the
executive board of the Knights of Labor.
composed of Powderly, Hayes, Wright,
Howard and Devlin. Then in the course
of the interview Sargent struck out
from the shoulder. He desired, how
ever, to be quoted not as in
the position of president of the council.
but as member of the Federation of Rail-
road Employees. He said he was individu-
ally entirely in accord with Powderly.
Powderly and his representatives had gone
to Webb and asked the reason for the dis
charge of men from the New York Central
railway. Webb had fatty refused to have
anything to do with Powderly, and the lat
ter had called in the federation. Continu-
ing, Sargent said:
As member of the federation, l do not think
Powderly was treated right When in New

why he did not treat with Powderly.
He said he did not want any third party to in
teriere. then said: Suppose you had dis
charged certain fremen and came to you as
grand master firsmen to ask your reason for the
discharge; would you refuse to talk to met"
To this he made an evasive reply and left
Sargent went on to say that there was
no disposition on the part of the employees
TO force matters. All they wanted was q
chance to present their grievances to the
officials of the Vanderbilt system and have
just arbitration of the existing difficulties.
As to the final result of the session of the
supreme council Sargent declared that the
public need have no apprehension. Sargent
hoped no extended strike would ensue, but
his last words were that he was ready to
stand as the champion of organized labor,
and he wanted the whole country to
know it

ment, and Ponds official record typifies the
issue. He is 8 business man rather than par.
tisan, and his ideas of economy are rigid in the
extreme.
The Examiner says in part:
Under Ponds administration as mayor of San

the public revenues have been judiciously ex-
pended. He has interposed his veto between
the people and he attacks of predatory SER
wants, and taught insolvent corporations that
the public had rights which they were bound to
respect Every part of the state helped to NOM
mate him for governor, and every part will help
to elect him.

CHICAGO, Aug. AT a meeting OF the
executive committee of the master build
ers tonight. they refused to arbitrate the
existing differences with the journeymen
carpenters, which was asked for by the
latter, in an address to the build
ers Thursday. As the new builders
association has also refused to arbitrate,
there is apparently no resource for the
Carpenters Union except to surrender or
order general strike. Should the 5000
members of the union quit, it is esti-
mated that within two weeks $4,000 other
workmen in the building trades of Chicago
will be thrown out of work.
