q AItepfesentat1ve Gathef1ns OF Deer Lodge
Business and Workingmen Give Voice to
the Sentiment of this Community-A
Strong Club Organized for Work
Last Tuesday evening rousing, en-
thusiastic Anaconda -the-capital meet
ing was held at the court house. Not
withstanding the heavy wind and storm
which prevailed at the time, the court
room was crowded. Dr. A. III. Mitchell
presided, with DR.. Minshall as tempo
rary secretary ~m~.".
The large number of names of those
in favor Of Anaconda is an assurance that
Deer Lodge is loyal, and will hurl back
the slurs and insinuations of the Helena
capital committee cast against its sister
city-AnAconda. The club is composed
of nearly all the substantial citizens of
Deer Lodge and vicinity-citizens who
know that by giving assistance to Ana
conda, they will help Deer Lodge in
every respect.
Among the speakers were Tom Nc
Tague, Judge Trippet, Judge Whitehill,
Sheriff Nelson, ]. G. Morony and others.
Mr.. McTague said, in part It is in
cumbent upon every citizen of Deer
Lodge to vote for Anaconda. l prefer
Anaconda, pot only because it is quail
fed, but because of the good and true
characteristics of the people of the place.
It will triumph in the deliyerance of the
labor element, and especially those en-
gagged in mining, from the grasping hand
Of the Helena millionaires. The Helena
committee has endeavored to create dis
cordant opinions and directing them in
this, time of danger; but we will ami
hllate them by a great majority. No
one can appreciate the magnitude Of this
1ight-this glorious object we must and
will attain. [ trust and hope that our
support will be unanimous, and that
every voter with sense of honor will
make the election an election Of victory
and triumph for Anaconda, our true
friend. give my voice and help to
Anaconda, for she is indorsed by the
greatest majority the horny handed
sons Of toll.
Judge Trippet said, in part 1 have
been for Anaconda all the time. NV
idea is, that it is the duty Of Deer Lodge
to vote for Anaconda. Some men vote
because they have selfish interests. 1t is
fact that every industry will profit by
making Anaconda the capital. What
will we gain by casting Deer Lodges
four or five hundred votes for Helena?
Il was at Helena some time ago and
stayed at the Grand Central hotel, where
| met Hugh Kirkendall and others. Mr..
IL, abused Anaconda and said the Ana
conda company owned every inch of
water available for the city Such is not
the case, for | represent an estate that
owns eight hundred inches which can be
taken out at any point above Anaconda.
He closed with several convincing re-
marks and was listened to with close
attention:
j. G. Morony made q telling speech.
He refuted the charge that he was un-
friendly and disloyal to Anaconda. He
said, Il would be ungrateful to desert
them in the hour of need; since the last
election | have not by deed nor word
antagonized Anaconda l will leave ar
gument for those more competent than
thank you for the honor you have con.
ferred upon me by making me secretary

for this cause.''
Judge Fl. r. WhitehiN convinced the
audience with his interesting remarks
He said: "It is gratifying to see this lis
