BCLLDOZING,

BULLDOZlNG
The Helena for the capital campaign
has thus far been one Of persistent and
illogical abuse Of Marcus DAILY and all
who favored Anaconda for the capital.
Mr.. DAILY has been characterized as a
'czar" and a "bulldozer," and the friends
Of Anaconda were, without exception,
denounced as Slaves, time servers, wear
ers of col lars, bride takers and as lacking
in every principle Of manhood In this
plan of campaign the Independent set
the pace and it was followed by the few
papers in the state that had been Intlu-
enced to support Helena.
When the business mems capital club
was organized in Butte as "A protest
against the stand taken by the Miner,
the Helena for the capital managers
were dumbfounded. As was to have been
supposed, they descended to falsehood
to break the effect Of the Indignant Ana
conda outburst on the part Of the bust
ness men, and the Miner as their mouth
piece made the silly declaration that If
there were any Helena business men in
Butte they were to be %boycotted by the
Anaconda men. This lie was too trans
parent and yesterday it was recanted by
the Miner in an humble manner. That it
was compelled to do this is the best evil
dence of the strength of Anaconda in
Silver Bow county. The Miner would
resort to any means to injure Anaconda,
except to wreck itself, and because it
saw total ruin staring it in the face if it
continued on the course of misrepresent-
alton, it put about and took the back
tack on the boycott proposition. That
sort of stuff might do on the outside but
the people Of Silver Bow county would
not stand it.
In the meantime what about this
charge of bribery and bulldozing and
intimidation. 1t is well known that
Helena has paid agents all over the
state, who are spending money freely
and who are attempting to bride men
into their way of thinking. They have
lied to and cajoled those whom they
met, and when this did not answer they
have resoried to threats Of an indirect
Helena man in Butte to cap the climax
Talk about cars, he wanted to be the
boss Of all the czars. The following will
tell who he is, what he is, and what he
did.
General Managers Office. !
Butte ~ Boston Mining Company.
Butte, Mont Sept. lS.-Any person
in the employ Of the undersigned found
electionering for Anaconda Tor the cap
ital will be discharged.
g. NJ. ALLEN, Superintendent.
Let the voters Of this section VINO have
and intimidation and bulldozing, read
been regaled with stories of tyranny
and ponder over the above. 1t was
posted in the mines of the Butte a. Bos-
ton company at Butte and speaks for
itself. 1t shows that the sentiment OF
the miners as well AS the business men
Of Butte is for Anaconda. else there
would have been no use to post the
notice. The word Anaconda seems tc
have acted like a nightmare to Mr.. Aller
and forthwith it's utterance in the mine
is i~nterdicted.
Suppose such a notice, changing Ana
conda to Helena, had been posted in the
Anaconda mines or smelter, or the Bel
coal mines, what a roar there would
have been from the truly virtuous In
dependent and the moro than ~virtuoul
Miner. How the changes would hav'
been sounded on the words 'czar,
%'serfs," "intidimation;" how the vocabu
larry OF abuse would have been exhaust
ed in decrying Marcus DAILY. But thu
boot happens to be on the other foot. l
is a Helena man who is guilty Of sitting
the opinions Of his employees and making
it a crime to say a word in favor of An
aconda. The right of free speech is de
MED, and yet the v~irtuous Independent
and the more than %virtuous Miner hav
no word Of condemnation for the out
rage. Their conduct of silence convict
them OF being brazen hypocrites who's
pretenses to decency are as shallow a
are the claims OF the cause they es
pouse.
