would rather have the snmity oe Anap

eentlsmen, the natural resources Of Great

unite 10 In bond OF sistsrhood. Ana

city of manufactures. Ansconda pso'
duoes the raw matseials, Great Falls -.
duess the material. and, In the course OF
tims, will manufacture that mineral Int
implements Of usefulness. Great Balls
and hse industries could not b complese
without Anacouda and her industsiss.
and Auscouda and hse industries would
nos b eomplste without Great Falls and
bee industries and her facilities. Thsse
sces, W can work hand In hand with Ana
eonda. We should use every effort -
build Anaeonda up and not aid In Cd
vaucing interests that arc 70 the deteip
mont of Great Falls.
"Thsy tell ~ that, sometimes, eempash

that 10 true In this cass a. not. We Ill
know that the greatness OF Helena began

O''Ths other day Twas riding up the Sand

Chairman, ladies' and gentlemen: Until
I reaA the article that was publishsd IN
yesterdays Imdepsadext thought the men,
women and children Of America were frss
psople, and ! thought that svsry frss-boru
American citisen and every naturallssd
citissn who had made this country his
homo could east his vote and OF.
press an opinion - he cav fit.
But when cav the article which Mr..
Webster, our chairman. has referred to,
In the Isdepsadsat changed my belief u
far - newspapee reports are concerned,
for the reason that Il came out IN most
scurrilous manner and II states thinss
about the leading msn, the leading citi'
sens, the representative men oe our town
In manner In which I would NOT havl
believed that any paper would have done,
or any representative Of . city which has
aspired foe such high position - the
capital Of the grand state Of Montana.
"Thsy have not only brutaily assailsd
these men, whom the men had . right Il
express their opinions In behalf Of Ana
conda; they have not only said they wers
wrong, but they charaetsrise them - hav
ing received beibss, Of being sycophants
Of beng led By the collars By corpora
tious, Of doing things for money and fol
other reasons; and I dare say. ladies and
gentlemen, that there is not one voter Ia
this community who has ever though,
over the question Of the capital little bil
prior to this time. when he hes taken init
consideration the manner In which ouI
own citissns have bssn treated hy thu
Indspssdsml. I say there 10 mot ono who
has taken this into oonsldseation whs
would mot vote for Anaeonda. There an
great many questions that they shouit
have discussed outside Of this one. Ths,
should have discussed the rights Of on
