LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS

Among republican newspapers in

TO be frank I'm the treatment of Mr..
Carriers letter addressed To the chair
man of the state central committee.
This letter was given to the people of
Montana by the states two leading
democratic newspapers the STAN
DARD on this side of the range and the
east-side IBdependent. The rest of the
daily newspapers, lacking Washington
news as usual, questioned the genuine
ness of the letter at first: they have
abandoned that line of tactics now.
Accepting Mr.. Carriers letter as an
honest expression of his intentions. the
Helena Herald says:

other portion Of the state. He gives way ~ that
the west side may enter the canvass unembar
rassed by his claim or candidacy.
IL strikes us that the comment of the
Herald is straightforward and, AT the
same time, eminently discreet. I'm.
doubtedly, Mr.. Carter is impelled. TO a
degree, by the considerations which
ouI Helena contemporary %recites. The
fact that Helena grabbed all the Offices
offended the republican organ in Butte
almost beyond reconciliation. Helena
''hoggishness" has been our Butte re
publican contemporaries theme by da,
and by night, and that's no wonder
since Helena inflicted on Butte repub
Leans the evidences of its distinguished
discourtesy.
But for the pending capital question
Helena would go right ahead with III

quickened conscience controls it, con-
duct now. Helena realizes that there
Ia merit in the Inter Mounfafn's criti-
cisms, Il appreciates the fact that some
body must be sacrificed on the altar Of
capitolian pride and IL has
picked out Carter for the victim.
That Is to say, Montana's pitiable
plight 10 that Carter must die In order
that Power may live, a trade that
makes the public a sorry loser.
The Helena Herald, we repeat, makes
a frank statement regarding Mr.. Car
ter's relations, a a Helena man, to the
coming canvass. As q republican
newspaper in joins the republican con-
gresham in the offer to give west-side
republicans all the rope they want.
But our Helena contemporary extends
its comment by remarking that Mr..
Carter would have nothing to fear in
facing and defending his record in con-
gress." We think he would have, but
IL, as the Herald assumes, he Is not
going to run, that is neither here o
there. Then the Herald adds that
'Mr. Carter has made a brilliant record
and done good service TO the state"
We doubt 1t, but If the Herald will
produce the proofs, the STANDARD will
put It's doubts aside.
above ALL" the Herald concludes,
Garter will have no occasion to regret
or be ashamed of his support Of Tom
Reed for speaker" Well, that depends
on how you take 1t. Mr.. Carriers course
In this matter may be satisfactory to
some republicans, but most of the peo-
pie deplore it and democrats are
ashamed of It. Reed proved to be the
conspicuous foe of silver, as the STAN
DARD predicted he would be. Free
coinage passed the senate; it would
have prevailed in the house but for
Speaker Reed. Carter may be proud Of
this, but Montana cannot be persuaded
TO boast of il. Then, too, Mr.. Reed
was lately proclaimed on the floor of
the house to be the manipulation of con-
gress in the interest of the Northern
Pacific land-grab ring, and there
isn't anything very proud about
that. However. the discussion
of this topic would lead to politi-
cal talk, and the weather is quite too
hot for politics. Besides, this is Sun
day. and the STANDARDS thoughts
turn lightly to more inspiring themes
that the girdled speaker or the declin-
ing member from Montana. According
ly, in the phrase of the Helena Herald,
we leave Mr.. Carter to 'feel the Justice
of local considerations"

Senator Paddock Of Nebraska has

Rhode Island 10 expected soon to fol-
low suit. Several other republican SELL
ators are slowly developing their back

Senator Paddock says he has been to
the leading eastern centers Of trade at
New York, Boston, Providence, Phila-
delphia and Fall River and has talked
about the effect of the bill with the
leading business men of both parties.
The result has been that an almost
unanimous sentiment against the bill
has been discovered. They fear that If
the bill is passed the southern people
will make good their threats Of retalia-
ton by boycotting goods made in the
North. They therefore believe that it
would be impolitic to pass the bin.
