Missoula, Nov. Sat the close Of
Hon. Hal S. Corbetrs address on the
Political Issues Of the Day" at the
opera house, by previous arrangements
the house was given over to the friends
OF Helena, Several prominent Missoula
business men took seats on the plat
form, nearly the full floor space of the
stage being occupied, None OF the aud
Ience left the hall. Hon. r. c.. Higgins
was introduced by Hon. II. C. Marshall
who introduced him as n native born
Montanlan. Mr.. Higgins stated that in
taking up the cause OF Helena he had
united with some whom hehad fought
politically for fifteen years. He did not
consider II a fight between two cities,
or question as TO whether Helena or
Anaconda had been themost friendly TO
Missoula. 1t was fight between the
people OF a great state and a giant cor
poration, a fight TO save this common
wealth from the baneful influence OF
that corporation, a corporation that In
structed its employees to vote the repub-
lican ticket one year. the democratic
another; that he had seen reach out to
put its fingers on petty offices In obscure
mining camps.
As TO Anaconda's friendship for Mis-
soula and Mats assistance In getting
the university. he said he knew that
Prof. Hamilton, of Missoula. had writ
ten and collected the facts OF the speech
Mats had made for the university in
thelegislature, On the fort question,
Mr.. Higgins handled Ex-Congressman
Dixon roughly. showing a letter OF
Dixon on the subject. and many facts
which disproved any claims of friend
ship for Missoula made by Anaconda.
He showed how members of the legisla-
ture from Anaconda had voted against
Missoula interests on questions which
had come up when Mr. Higgins himself
was a member of that body.
But the speaker stated that the true
question before the people was one to
city not dominated by one man and one
corporation; TO put II where any one
could go and engage I'm any legitimate
pursuit without consulting the Ana
conda company or its management.
Mr.. Higgins made what was perhaps
the best speech the people Of this city
have heard him make. and he was ap-
plauded TO the echo
He was followed by o. w. Mcconnell
and Hon. Thos. ii. Carter Mr.. Carter

CORRUPTION.
The Only Resource OF the Wicked and

Special TO The Independent.
Livingston. Nov. 5.-From the outset
OF the capital fight II has been claimed
by those who have been working In the
interest OF Anaconda that that city
could win without eastern Montana. In
Livingston the advocates OF Anaconda
have said repeatedly that the vote of
Park county was not wanted. as Ana
conda would win on the west side. but
these men have suddenly changed their
views, and tonight they are out using
every endavor TO cut down the large
majority which is promised Helena to-
morrow. John X. Toole arrived here
this afternoon and has taken charge
Of the Anaconda campaign in Livings-
ton. Money has been freely distributed
tonight and II is no secret that five
and ten dollars apiece will be paid for
Anaconda votes.
Word has been given out among the
workers that Anaconda is defeated un-
less the vote in Park county can be
changed. That Mr.. Toole Is honest in
making this statement is borne out
by the fact that a barrel has been
tapped right in Livingston. with the be-
lief no doubt that a large per cent of
the vote here can be bought. and thus
change the result. But tomorrow these
Anaconda heelers will be fooled. The
citizens OF Livingston are awake, they
will see 10 IL that no representative OF
the Anaconda Mining company can
come TO Livingston and purchase any
portion OF the vote. The sentiment is
changing every hour for Helena. and
bets are freely offered that Park coun-
ty will give Helena 700 majority.
