A meeting OF much Importance to
those interested in the approaching
municipal election was held on Thurs
day evening last at rooms and 10 OF
the Hauswirth block in West Broad
way. These rooms are the headquart-
ers of the A. p. A. county central COM
mittee and from these rooms the poll
tics of Butte and Silver Bow county
have been directed for the past two
years. There was a full attendance OF
the committee at the meeting on
Thursday night The meeting was call
ed to order by A. N. Yoder. chairman
of the committee, Professor Davies.
superintendent of schools, acting as
secretary. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
w. ]. Palmer, from the committee
on the city council, reported that the
Hale house ordinance had failed to
pass through the failure of the ma
jority of the A. p. A. aldermen to do
their duty. He said that the names of
Aldermen Vivion and Gamblers should
be placed in the list of American heroes
on the rolls of the association, but
there was no second made to Mr..
Palmer's motion to this effect. 1t was.
however, the unanimous opinion that
the association is under obligations to
the two aldermen and should stand by
them in anything they might hereafter
desire in a political way. Alderman
Nivion. il was agreed, should be re-
elected alderman from the Sixth ward
at any cost, and measures should be
taken with that end in view at once.
As Alderman Gamblers holds over 1t
was not considered necessary ITO do
anything for him this spring. Mr..
Smith moved that Alderman Gamblers
be endorsed for the Office of mayor
year hence. 1t was considered prema-
ture, however. to take action in this
matter at this early day.
A committee of three was appointed
to confer with the officers of the Junior
Order OF United American Mechanics
and urge upon them the Importance of
the Juniors voting with the A. p. A. i'm
the approaching election, and request
them to remove the silver trimming
from their new flag, as being objec-
tionable to the L. o. L., and ii was i'm
portant that all factions of patriots be
united at this time. 1t was suggested
that gold trimmings would be more
satisfactory.
II was moved and seconded that the
same committee instruct the Juniors
that unless they will act under the di-
TeCllOn OF Nne n. Il. "A. county central
committee the Juniors shall have no
places on the ticket and none of the
offices. This was passed unanimously.
1t was moved by Mr.. Palmer and
carried unanimously, that the "A. p. a.
is an American, not a Canadian insti-
tuition, and that all members be noti-
fed of the same.
The various ward committees were
instructed by the chair to use all means
Al. - -.
the renegade aldermen. 1t was also de-
cided that the names of these renegade
aldermen should be placed on the same
black scroll with the A. Il. A. members
Of the Legislature who voted for Tom
Carter.
1t was moved by Mr.. Hopkins that
the county central committee endorse
John Byrne in the First ward and
Peter Hale in the Third ward as a re-
buke to the renegade aldermen. Mr.
Palmer objected TO this on the ground
that IL would belittle the committee
10 do such a thing; IL was against the
principles of the order TO endorse any
Catholic, and he couldn't see the joke
OF the thing anyway. The motion Of
Mr.. Hopkins was laid on the table.
The matter of the school election was
discussed at length. o. NJ. Hall and
Frank Lyons were endorsed for the
dorsement of Mr.. Hall by the A. p. A.
might bring the Sons OF st. George into
line once more. and the A. p A. needs
their support in the approaching cleo
ton.
Interesting remarks were made by
Mr.. Baker under the head of the good
of the order. He stated that the con-
vention at Anaconda showed the order
TO be in a most prosperous condition.
N
stated that there was the utmost har-
mony in the convention. The citizens
or Anaconda had treated them ROYALTY
mad invited them to the works and to
the Standard office and the Standard
had cheerfully published the reports
or the convention as furnished by the
press committed
state President Caldwell delivered
short address on the urgency OF get
ting the Cornish, Canadians and Amer
leans all in line for both the school
election and the municipal election. He
said that unless this could be done IL
was doubtful il the A. =. AS would
carry more than four wards. He urged
on the ward committees TO do every
thing possible 10 reconcile the various
patriotic factions I'm the various wards
against the common enemy There
would be plenty of offices next fall he
next fall. the factions could all be kent
in line for this spring.
Let US take care of the city election
first. urged Mr.. Caldwell. IF we are
beaten this spring our prestige will be
gone and we cannot win next fall. But
II we win this spring that will make
them all come to us, and for us. and
want our help for the fan offices. The
thing TO do is TO win this spring. and
make any promise i'm order 10 do so.
The sring election is the immediate
fight Let US win that, and we can take
care Of the fall election afterwards"
Mr.. Caldwell was asked how il would
be possible to reconcile the Juniors
with the Cornish and Canadians. the
Juniors having decided TO support none
but people born in this country. Mr..
Caldwell said that was carrying patri-
Dtism altogether too far. Now that the
Irish were disposed Of there was no
sense in extreme patriotism any more.
and the cry made by the Juniors only
caused disunion and discomfort and II
persisted in would result in turning the
offices over to the enemies Of our coun-
