there. But
ANACONDA HAS AMPLE FACILITIES.
The Great Northern RUM thither. The
Union Pacific reaches Anaconda via the
Montana Union, and the Northern Paci-
tc reaches Butte.
Locate the capital at Anaconda and
new state buildings must be built. And
shall this imperial state be condemned
to hide her sovereignty and power, the
departments OF her government in the
rookeries OF Last Chance? The question
OF taxation must be submitted to the
people and they can dictate that the
expense shall be partially borne by sue
ceeding beneficiaries.
The streets OF Helena we're laid like
the streets OF misunderstanding to the
c%ow-paths of colonial days. The town
site OF Anaconda is selected with care
and the city has all the facilities of sewer
age, water, lights and power. She also
has churches, schools, etc, unexcelled in
the state. The location Of the capital
there will have. an exhilarating effect
and give new life to the state. Applause !
After a selection and encore by the
Great Falls Glee club,
LANE OF BUTTE
was INTRODUCED amid applause and said
he was told by a friend today that one
Of the Helena speakers last night stated
that il the citizens of Great Falls gave a

the lunatic asylum was located here.
He did not doubt that they would need
IT, II they do 30. Many sane and honest
men and women advocate Helena, but
they have not studied the subject until
they have learned that Butte and Ana
conda are your nearest friends, although
a few miles further distant. The Sand
Coulee Coal company sends 300 tons per
day to Anaconda; to Helena less than II
tons. At Belt Anaconda pays $4,000
per month; Helena contributes Is cents
to the only two
CHINAMEN IN THE COUNTY.
On the west side we have more than
one-half the votes and they are solid for
Anaconda; we want you to give a solid
vote 80 that Helena will go into better
business than stealing the capital. She
stole it from Virginia City but cannot
rob the whole people Of the state. lap
plause.
The speaker then referred to the
disreputable tactics employed by
Helena heelers in retailing all manner of
lies about Marcus DAILY, and read an
article signed "a Belt Miner" in which
Mr.. DAILY was charged with having un
Justly treated a man in his employ and
discharged him without cause. In re.
ply he read the statement of MI.
Hughes, the man referred to in the
scurriloue article, in which he denounced
the author and the article, and stated
that he left Mr.. Days employ at his
own instance to go into business for
himself, and Mr.. DAILY had at that time
presented him with a horse, harness and
wagon to help him start, and told him
that at any time within a year he could
have bis old job back again il he made
a failure of his new business. The doc
ument evoked great enthusiasm and
hearty cheers for DAILY.
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
owns 100000 acres of land, a strip 40
miles wide between st. Paul and the Pa
cifc coast. 1t is the giant corporation
not only of this state but of the United
States, and yet the very men who are
hurting abuse at the Anaconda company
and it's manager, Marcus DAILY, and try
ing to excite prejudice against Anaconda
on account of the corporation located
there are themselves the paid attorneys
nf this nrnof ond 1onnoro,,a oorpovon
which has taken up the battle for Hell
ana. l desire to call your attention to
the fact that the Northern Pacific road
has not only discharged the men who
wore in the recent strike, but has black
listed them 80 that they are unable
to obtain work on other roads in this
country, and the union men of the state
have raised money to assist them in
obtaining employment in some instances
in far-of lands like South America and
even Africa. There are now three men
under arrest at Missoula at the instance
OF this company, on a charge Of blowing
up a train, which paesed owe the line
just after the strike. Two Of these men
we're brought from the coast and have
not been inside Of the state for two
years or more, and yet the tyrannical
company L r6terreu 10 mai DrOugnC them
here to answer the false charge pre-
ferred against them in order to
VENT THEIR SPITE
against them for very different reasons.
The little town of Anaconda has raised
$1,000 to defend these innocent working
men Butte will raise $1,000 more.
Hundreds OF dollars have been received
from Great Falls. but Helena has not
yet contributed a dollar and we don't
expect her to do 30. lApplausel This
is the kind of corporation the Northern
Pacific is.
On the other hand the Anaconda com
pany have always treated their employees
like white men %[applausel, and as long as
they continue 30 to do l am their friend.
A corporation which employs a large
number of men and treats them right is
a blessing to the state and to the work
ingman and not a curse, and nothing but
friendly feeling will exist between the
company and men. ! speak of these
things not as arguments in the choice of
q capital location, but because of the
mud that has been thrown against a cor
