tissd opening Of Hslsna's campaign Soe
the capital IN Nissoula has occurred. A.
the Bennett opsrs hoass Hslsua's most
able orators have discussed the preposi.
tiou Why the capital should 10 to Helena.
Nissoula packed the hall to the docss and
gave Helena . respectful audisncs. This
she always doss, whsthsr the occasion b

tai msstins.
Al $50 o'clock, vhsn the msstins was

the spsaksrs fer the Hslsns committee
and Walter n. Biekfocd, the sels repre-.
sentative Of Nisseula, and hs ives there to
est 80 ringmAstee.
Lisutsnant Covsenoe Botkin was The
flrst spsakss. He particularly dwelt upon
the fact that Anaconda had not adequato
hotel secemmodatiens, and that the hrst
thing that weold have 10 b done was to
eeeot capital buildinss, and that they
would have to purchase the ground from
the Anaeonda Ninine company ~ IN %.
orhitant psios, and this would inevitably
bankrups the state. ThIs bsins the ease,
Aissoula would never sst money TO build
her university. II. hewsvsr. Aisseula
should support Helena, then thsy should
pledge the votes oe hse nsmhsss % the
Legislature foe an appeopeiAtion. He made
no mention Of the intsntioa of Helena 70
go that Fort xissoula b abandoned and
the troops removed 70 Helena.
The remarks were eooeludsd hy diap
gram showing that Helena was just two
miles from the center Of population IN
Montana and that The axis Of the earth
was directly % . line drawn through the
Montana club.
Judge n. n. McConnsll was the nsxt
speaker and be started b. Offering TO bet
the snormous sum Of 90 that none of the
Anseoods oeatoss, noe any ons else. could
advanes valid reason Why the capital
should b removed tram Helena. Hs then
invsiehsd aGainst every snteepsiss In the
state that was In any nay connected With
J. B. HaeGin o. Marcus DAly. He worked
himself to fever heat In denouncing coe.
poeatious. He spoke OF the AnaeondA foe
the Capital cigars, Q hand put out By
sauss eutsgprising dealer, and b. said thoy
did mot hays . uSsea 5sSsA - them. That
hurt the judge. He has has been great
sticklse for union labels In the past. He
advertised that cigar to psrfsction, and
took up and traced their manu-.
faeturs direct to the hands Of
Marcus DAILY. He took up the
fast that only four silk hats wses worn Ia
Anaconda against 2.61 In Helena. He
abused AnaeoadA foe having Q nswspApss
that bad circulation, and he said the
STANDARD was such . COED nswspapss
that II was running the bnssnsss Of all the
printers and pubiishsrs II the state. He,
howsvse, failed 70 state that Fort Nis.
seuls 10 going 10 Helena. He did state,
though. that moving the capital to Ana.
conda would not move the smoke from
that city.
Ex.Govsrnoe Tools then made the flns..
plea foe Helena on the ground that Ana.
condA was one-man town and Il was q
dangerous thing 70 expose the oilesrs and
Legislators Of the state to coepoeate dom.
ination. This was the strongest and best
received speeeh of the evsnine. But he
did not say Helene was not going 10 COB
bic Fort Missoula.
The Helena eommittse, under its loeal
leadership, applauded anything thai
seemed to them to b o bit, somstimss Tho
audisnes followed suit and more otter
they did not, A matter Of working "
Helena enthusiasm the whole AFFAIR was .
