fers greater opportunity than any other
state, yet to the east she is almost nm
unknown country. Why Simply De
cause We drift with the current and
make no effective effort to place our ad-
vantages before the people who are
seeking homes.
How can we help ourselves! One way
would be to expend one-half the energy
and money that are wasted in our sense
less politics, in organized efforts to se.
cure doubling OF our population. The
money that a city election IN Helena
costs would bring 100 substantial set
tiers 20 this state. The expenditures OF
a state campaign would give us 5000
and tho money expended in buying a
seat in the United States senate for
Power or Carter, OF one OF Marcus
Days agents, would nearly double our
population.
Back in reconstruction times the late
Matt Carpenter was invited 10 deliver
an address in New Orleans. The whole
population Of the city was engaged IN
riot and turmoil over politics. Com
meroe languishei, wharves rotiei, the
state aud municipal debts increased,
and the condition OF the people every
day became more hopeless. The quick
eve Of Carpenter detected the source Of
all the trouble. "Why don't you leave
politics alone and attend 10 business?
he shouted, and his audience saw the
force Of his appeal.
Tho same question might be reason
ably put TO the people Of Montana
to-day. Leave politics alone and at
tend to business" How pertinent is
that advice 10 our own people!
Why should not men Of all parties,
democrats. republicans and populists,
putting aside all differences, political
ambitions and party advantage, pull to-
gether for the common goods The peo-
pie Of New England do 1t and they have
made Of their section Of country great
and prosperous community. The peo-
pie Of New York have done 1t aud have
been able 70 maintain the commercial
supremacy OF their metropolis. We in
Montana are less wise. We squander
our money and our energies on insgnih-
cant party differences and neglect our
greatest good
Why should not call 60 forth for a
mass convention Of our representative
men, in which every county should have
its representatives, to convene at Great
Falls, or Bozemsn, or Helena, or any
other central point, to consider ways
and means for bringing capital and pop
ulation to this state, to devise methods

Who will second the motion?
