The state board of pardons to-day
confirmed, by unanimous vote. the gov
ernor's pardon OF Daniel Workman, the
young man who was convicted In JUS
tees court at Bozeman OF violating the
game law of 1898, and sentenced 10 go
days In the county all. Workman was
arrested about Dec. 1 last by James
Keown, game warden OF Gallatin coun-
ty, while in the West Gallatin canyon.
Workman had in his possession parts
OF the carcasses OF two elks. He said
that he had not killed the game. but
that IL had been given him by a hunter
who was supplying elk meat to miners
of Horr. This hunter. he said. had
killed more elk In West Gallatin basin
that he could pack out and told him
TO take what he did. The law OF 1898
prohibited the killing of any elk. while
the law of 1895 allows the killing OF
not more than three bull elks. The su-
preme court justice and two district
judges have declared by their acts that
the law OF 1895 is in force. for they
openly violated the provision Of the
law OF 1893, which was the law that
Workman was convicted under. Wort
man has been serving a term in jail for
what he had a right to do, according
to the personal opinions of at least one
supreme court justice and member OF
district court judges.
Petitions for executive clemency were
signed by many prominent citizens Of
Bozeman and the governor granted the
pardon. Workman has nearly served
out his term.
Judge Knowles to-day reprieved
Pleasant Draper. the young colored
man who was convicted of the murder
of Lena Turner on the Crow reserva-
ton, extending his time OF execution

Newspaper Men banQueteu anu
Given Gold Medals.
New York, Nov. 7.-NIark A. Hanna gave
a dinner tonight in the Hotel Waldorf,
to thirty-one newspaper men of New York
and Chicago, who had been employed at
Headquarters in both cities, chronicllng
events in one of the most exciting politi-
cal struggles in the history of the coun-
try. Not only did he give them dinner,
and a good one, but The also presented
each reporter and correspondent with
medal of the size and value of $20-gold
piece, and of absolute purity, in slight
token, as he expressed it, of the national
republican committees appreciation OF
The ability and conscientiousness with
which they performed their duties.
There was no discrimination of party in
the presentation. Reporters for the silver
and for the gold papers were treated alike
and the name of each recipient was ems
graved on the face of the medal. The
medal was surmounted by golden eagle,
with outstre tclhed wings, on which weie
inscribed, Mckinley and Hobart-Sound
Money and Protection"
Replying to toast to his health Mr..
Hanna said among other pleasant things:
when I began this campaign / felt that
I should be safe If l only had the friend
ship of the newspaper men, 1 begun to
diagnose the situation. Now that the
campaign has been brought to a success
full issue l don't mind telling you picked
up great many pointers from you.
81 found that every one of you were just
as fully alive to the situation as 1 was.
Nobody understands better than I do
in my position how important it is to be
solid with the newspaper men. They gave
me fresh inspiration every day during the
campaign. They came to me fresh from
the people whom they had seen, and,
must say, / got as much information from
them as they did from me- / know they
have done their share in writing the story
of the campaign and am glad that l am
in III with them"

should be controlled by fear of opponents.
We should select for every Office the man
who Is preferred by the people without re-
gard to what the enemies of democracy
will attempt to do. The talk about fear
of another election originated with men
who have always been my political enc
mics and 1t Is interesting to note that in
recent years these men have given them~
selves no trouble about elections. They
fear one now because they can profit by
my defeat If there was the least danger
/ would be the last man to permit my am
bition to jeopardize the interests OF
my party or my people, The talk about
danger is weakening to our party and is
giving encouragement to the vanquished
foe. Our party in Georgia is stronger,
and its foes more completely crushed than
in years. In my Judgment an election
under existing circumstances would unite
the factions, bring into the fold of de-
mocraey many who have been opposed to
u.s. and strengthen rather than weaken
the party.
''The people understand the real source
from which the opposition to me origl-
mated, and they know that had l come In
to the executive chair and surrendered
to these influences, they would not be ar
rayed against me now. / shall continue
to preserve my independence. and in the
public office will acknowledge no master,
save the people who elected me-"
