the Billy Thompson people. Mr.. Howell

supporters from all classes of citizens and
no will not only poll the full populist vote
and nearly the entire democratic strength,
but will also get big support from the
republican party. The citizens commits
tee held a meeting this afternoon and
issued the following address:
To al Voters Of the Democratic and Peoples
Parties:
The public has been fully apprised OF the ac-
ton OF your central committees In uniting upon
joint ticket at the coming election. The peril
which confronts the city OF Butte is the admins
tration OF faction which is un-American In
It's methods. intolesant in its spirit and which
will arouse and keep alive the smouldering fires
OF blgotry and prejudice. In this emergency
your committee has deemed it wise to unite as
against common foe. The names of the can
didates chosen by us win appear upon
Gratis and populsts. Each democrat
can vote for them as democrats and each pop
ulist can vote for them rs populists, but no can
didate should be voted for under both party
designations. We believe that the action of
your committees will appeal to your good judg-
ment. In unity there is strength. Let there be
no wavering from this union ticket. and success
is sure. The friends of this ticket are friends of
good government and tolerance. and those who
win not support 1t are assisting and helping the
A. p. A. ticket. We invite all liberty-loving
citizens to unite with us and vote for the anti
A. 7. A. ticket headed by L. b. Howell for
mayor.

The following address to the public was
also issued this evening:
To the Liberal Voters Of Butte:
1t should not require many words to convince
all liberal minded Americans that In the pres
ent contest they should stand as one man and
present q solid front to the enemies OF religious
freedom. We find three candidates in the field
One is William Thompson. the A. p. As leader.
Another is James III. Monteath, the republican
| candidate still anotheris 4. b. Howell, the
candidate OF the democratic and populist party.
William Thompson Is the candidate OF about 20
per cent. Of the republican party, while J. II.
Monteath represents the remaining 30 per cent
OF the same party K. b. Howell is supported
by two united party organizations acting In per-
feet harmony. 49,
To divide the liberal forecasts to Insure the
election OF William Thompson, the A. p. A.
candidate. Those who sincerely desire to de-
feat the A. p. AS must unite on Mr.. Howell.
There can be no other conclusion. In the popu-
list party alone Mr.. Howell has the support OF
nearly as many votes as there are members In
the A. 7. A. organization. II the democrats re-
main true to Mr.. Howell who is now the union
candidate, he will be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority. On the other hand. II the advice
of few dangerous counsellors is needed, and
