GAG LAW IN GREAT FALLS
Fate Of WOrkingman Who Dared
to Favor Anaconda For
the Capital.
After Five Years of Faithful Service
at the Smelter He Is
Discharged.

The affidavit below tells its own story
and is commended to the consideration
Of every citizen who has been regaled
with the Helena lies about the czarism
and tyranny Of the Anaconda company.
The maker Of this affidavit is not the
only man in Great Falls who has been
prescribed for daring to have an opinion
on the capital question in opposition to
Helena. Read it voters and say what
you think of it:
GREAT FALLS, Oct 16, 1894.
l have been employed at the United
Silver Smelter and Refinery, Great Falls,
for the past five and half years. during
four of which have been head feeder.
About three weeks ago there was formed
a social club consisting Of about 40 mem
bers, all employees OF the smelter. 1t was
understood they we're to have different
persons address them upon both sides Of
the capital question. About one week
ago three gentlemen, Mr.. Rolfe, Mr..
Ford and Mr.. Gallagher, came down
and spoke to the club in favor
of Helena. The next day after said meet
ing the club voted to have some gentle
men speak to the club in behalf Of Ana
conda. l being the president of the
club, spoke to the superintendent in re-
lation to the meeting for Anaconda and
found that the superintendent, Mr..
Smith, was opposed to having any
speaking in Anaconda's favor, though he
had originally made no protest of that
nature, he knowing why the club had
been organized. When I asked for leave
to come to town to notify speakers that
Anaconda's claims could not be advo-
cased. Mr.. Smith, the superintendent,
would not permit me to come l was
told would be laid off indefinitely.
have tried several times since to go back
to work but am not allowed to do 80.
Mr.. Smith informed me that my work
was good-was perfect-that he had no
fault or complaint to make of me but
that l took too much interest in the cap
ital business. am man Of family and
me and my family are residents here. I
have ranch out in the country a short
distance which am endeavoring to i'm
prove, but l have been dismissed from
my position simply for the reason that /
am and have been favorable to Ana
conda for the capital. NELs BoRDsEN.

HON. ALLEN II. JOY,

Hon. Allen X. Joy of Livingston, Oh
being introduced was met with hearty
applause. He thanked the audience for
the greeting extended him, spoke of the
wonderful growth of Great Falls since
his last visit here, and Of its destiny as
the greatest metropolis in the state of
Montana. 1t was pleasure to him to
bring the people here good tidings from
his county, for there they had
determined that 80 far as
they are concerned the capital should
not be located at Helena. Applause.
Helena had it's ablest orators in the field
and they were all talking the best they
knew bow for Helena, yet it was anus
ing the acrobatic oratorical antics of the
Helena gentlen. n. Every gun that had

plause just think Of Wilbur F. San
ders. w. E. Cullen, j. X. Toole, Judge
Mcconnell and the others who draw
their daily sustenance from the breasts
of corporations [applause] daring to ap-
pear before Montana people and make
the speeches they do. 1t is amusing to
hear them denounce one corporation and
declare that il Anaconda be chosen as
the capital of the state our homes and
our liberties will be swept away. The
stock argument Of these immaculate
gentlemen il that il the legislature gets
out Of their hands it will be debauched
and ruined. just think Of these men
who for years have been doing nothing
else but denouncing the legislature now
becoming virtuous and growing jealous
Of the reputation Of the legislature OF
Montana. [Applause. As il anything
could be lower than the Helena guar
dianship of the Montana legislature.
Long applaus.
These good gentlemen also take a de,
light in abusing Marcus DAILY. because
they claim he owns some land and is
alleged to have some influence. Sup

business men could not hand over the

mines, mills and smelters, every man
who chops wood upon the mountains to
feed the furnace fires, every woman in
her home, every boy and girl going to
school, every laughing, smiling little
baby in the cradle, wearing clothes, is q
tax payer; and, figuring taxation down
to it's last analysis, labor pays all. The
reason why Butte, Anaconda and Great

DEAD, BROKEN, BUSTED.
Helena today has municipal debt of
considerably over q million dollars: she
has gone to her EXTREMIST limit; can't
borrow another cent; every building is
mortgaged; everybody is in debt No
wonder they want the capital to try and
revive, rejuvenate the dying embers, the
dying blood that premeated through the
veins of that little lost spot on the face
of the earth. On the other hand, Ana.
conda's municipal debt is less than
$25, 900, freer from debt that any other
city of it's size in America; it is city Of
homes, more people living in their own
houses, paying no rent, free from debt
and free from mortgage. The idea OF
thinking for minute than any man who
works for living could ever vote for a
place like Helena! No wonder the
Trades and Labor assembly issued those
resolutions! When the Helena men had

Frank l.. Stanton, member OF the

who is recognized as one Of the most
gifted and promising OF the South

that he has a new volume Of poems
Just out, entitled " Songs Of the Soil,
which has met with warm reception
al home and abroad. The Winning

and his work:
We never met Mr.. Frank l.. Stanton,
the gifted Georgian poet, but we have
taken pleasure in seeing his success and
in recording it. He is poet Of IN
spiration-born- and not made. He
has fun, humor, the lyrical gift and his
fine qualities as a singer are meeting
with recognition in this country and
in England, as we mentioned not long
ago. Richard Henry Stoddard, we'll
known Northern poet and critic thinks

verse, Riley and Carlton. The New
York Recorder, an able and handsome
Republican daily, recently said that
"no one can write love poems like
Stanton, and if The reader doubts this
statement, let him open the book at
random" The Chicago Inter- Ocean,
one of the great dailies Of the West,
says "his poetry flows like the music
from the bird-because it was made
to sing" The New York VERA
pronounces him "to-day the most
popular American poet and the
savage New York MaiEEtbress thinks
his verse " is considerably more clever
than the average of dialect work, such
as Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Carlton write.

Addresses of Messrs. Thomas, Harris,
and Gill1ie-.

a practical meeting was that held
last Sunday afternoon. The room was
chilly, but this will not occur again, as
the service will be held in the front
room hereafter. The singing was
especially strong and inspiring. Mr..
Norwood Thomas opened the dis
cussion after reading the thirteenth
chapter Of Genesis, announcing as
he subject, "Going down to Sodom. >
How it may have looked to Lot was
the head from which Mr.. Thomas
spoke in substance as follows " 1t may
have looked innocent ; the city and its
advantages holding out inducements OF
lawful character to Lot. He proba-
bly, thought it quite an advantage to
rear children in a city with its adyan-
tagcs, educational, and social. 1t is
quite clear to me that Lot considered
the possible chance to gain power and
honor. How ruin0us this trip to
Sodom proved" Here Mr.. Thomas
read Il number of passages of Scripture
admonishing against seeking wealth,
pleasure, and worldly power, as an
end in life. Love not the world J.,
neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
After singing, and prayer by Prof.
Gilmer, DR.. +. II. Harris spoke, on
How it must have looked to the
Sodomites." He said: First, the
strife between the servants of Lot and
Abraham must have given the wicked
a cause for rejoicing. 1t is strange
that man of large tlocks should seek
the city. Lot lifted up his eyes and
beheld.' He didn't consult his old
Uncle Abraham. His eyes were his
guide. This, alas, is too often the
case with the young Neither did
Lot consider the character of the
people of Sodom. Be careful in the
choice of your companions. He chose
to go into Sodom. Choice decides

long, will reduce the distance between

THANKSGIVING.

In accordance with the prOCIama-
tons Of the President of the United
States and the Governor Of the State,
to-day is set apart as day OF prayer
and thanksgiving. However humble
their position in life, and however
small their worldly possessions are,
each Of our readers will probably be
able to think Of something for which
he is thankful, and we hope that the
most Of them will find many things to
be thankful for. Health and content
ment are riches for which the majority
of mankind may well be grateful, and
though earthly wealth is very desirable,
its value is far less than that which
comes from a sound body and a
satisfied mind. We trust that every
reader OF the GOLD LEAF will find, in
looking over the past years record,
bright spots and happy days, good
things and merces for which he can
rejoice, and in looking forward, see a
prospect of others aD1 even better
things.
