THAT'S SURE TO BE THE CASE
Representative Men Take Hold of
the Matter-Mantlc, Carter and
Hartman Invited to Represent
Montana in Memphis.

Butte. June "A called meeting Of
the chamber OF, commerce was held
tonight for the purpose of making ar
rangements for a celebration of the
Fourth of July. There was a good at
tendance of members, and President
Frank, i'm announcing the objects of
the meeting. said that Butte had here
tofore some very creditable celebra-
tions but that this year It should ex-
eel any previous effort. He said the
meeting had been called at the request
of Mayor Thompson, who thought the
chamber of commerce could raise more
enthusiasm than could be raised by
any other method. Mr.. Franks "cn-
thusiasm' meant finances. with which
he had some experience i'm former cele-
brations. He suggested that an execu-
tive committee be appointed to take
charge of the arrangements and of the
celebration itself. with powers to ap-
point subcommittee
A motion of A. +. Bray 20 appoint
an executive committee of 10 with Mr.
Frank as chairman was adopted. II
was suggested that the committee he
made as representative as possible. and
in order to select good men who will
serve the president of the chamber was
6lNtn uilAll lp-HlOIIoW 10 make MS aI-
pointments Representative of the
typographical union and other labor
orBanizati tions were present and assured
their aid to make the celebration "A
success. The executive committee
chairman was instructed to have a
number of subcommittee appointed
to divide the work and confer especially
with all labor and other organizations
and urge them to participate in the
celebration.
After the Fourth of July matters
were disposed OF +. b. Howell brought
up the matter of appointing delegates
to the Memphis silver convention.
which is to be held on the l4th Of the
present month. III there are any dele
gates to be appointed" said Mr. Frank,
Il shall let Vice President Mueller do
it. The result of the Salt Lake con-
vention has put a damper on my en-
thusiasm in that line"
And | will leave il to Mr.. Bray"
said MIR. Mueller.
Perhaps the disappointed salt Lake
delegates would be the proper ones to
send to Memphis" said Mr. Howell
but some one should represent Mon
tana. for it will be the greatest silver
convention ever held. and il seems To
me that il will be important because IT
will be held i'm the South. 1t is evident
that If we will ever get free silver II
will come through a combination of
the South and West. and Montana
should not be unrepresented at the con-
vention. i understand that it will be
in the nature of a mass meeting and
not q select affair"
Mr.. Mueller also thought the state
should be represented, but he was of
the opinion that il should first be de-
termined if the Memphis people wanted
delegates from Montana He did not
want TO send delegates and have a fell
low like Prince get up i'm the conven-
tion and tell them that the people of
Montana could not read. Mr.. Howell
suggested that the president Of the
chamber of commerce be authorized To
select such delegates as would attend
the convention. but the suggestion re-
ceived no Endorsement. and Mr. Frank
proposed that a call be made through
the newspapers for volunteer delegates.
hut that suggestion also failed to re-
ceive Endorsement
Mr.. Grandy then moved that MIR.
Frank telegraph to Senators Mantle
and Carter and Congressman Hartman
and invite them to attend the conven-
tion and represent the state. The mo-
tion was adopted and the meoteing ad-
