Organize IN Every Precinct.
The Montana delegates, consisting
of Messrs. Merrill Sargent and Bick-
ford, were all of the same opinion as
to the plan. agreeing that Honest
Money Leagues should be organized
in every precinct, county and state.
These leagues should agree to a
specific plan Of raising money to dis
tribute literature throughout the
middle states All prominent mining
companies should be asked to pay
certain assessments per month to aid
in the work.
Mr.. Borah, of idaho. agreed IN the
main with the plan proposed. He was
opposed to any partisan work He was
a Republican, but henceforth would
not support his party on national is
sues unless it had both q candidate

and containing a goodly company Of

Gus delegations who had come with the
delegates from the surrounding terri

pavilion before 5 o'clock Once out
there the delegates were given full
leave to enjoy the beautiful scenery
and the refreshing lake breeze. as well
as the dancing to the stirring musiN
of the full band. Many of the visitors
availed themselves Of this opportunity,
and all agreed in giving the usual
need of praise to the beautiful resort.

city at $50, and the delegates were
escorted back TO the hotel.

in the city. The closest attention was
given to all the speakers. and each
