TO-NICHT'S THE TIME
The Various Republican Wings to
Meet in Caucus.
1T WILL BE INTERESTING
OF Most Importance Is the Cues
ton OF Sending Mantle Carter
and Hartman to the st.
Louis invention.

wings OF the republican party Win the
exception of the white-winged doves of
peace will meet this evening in caucus
to select delegates in the various pre-
cincts to the county convention. The
main question to be settled is whether
Carter. Mantle and Hartman shall go
as delegates to the national convention
or whether they shall not go. The A.
p. A. wing of the party has decreed
that they shall not go for the reason
that they voted appropriations for sec
tartan Indian schools. The official or
gan of this wing of the party. the Ex-
aminer, has this to say of the stua-
ton:
TON Carter opposed the Linton
amendment because he is an ardent
Roman Catholic. and Lee Mantle OPP
posed IL because Tom Carter told him
to. The Inter Mountain uses the same
kind of sophistry i'm defending the ac-
ton of these men that Carter and his
brother papists used in defeating the
Linton amendment. Tom Carter voted
for the confirmation of the papist. Cop
pinger. who had been promoted over
the heads OF IA brother officers-a man
who had been an ex-papal guard and
had only been a citizen of the United
States for three years Lee Mantle. on
the day that the Coppinger vote was
taken, took suddenly i'll with the CON
glomeration of the hifiumerance of the
diaspanlxis" and could not be present.
Lee Mantle has had two opportunities
TO uphold Americanism In the senate of
the United States and has proven a
coward in one instance and traitor in
the other. We expect nothing of Car
ter. He is not i'm the senate to repre-
sent Montana, but there to represent
the Roman church, and he does not
give a darn who knows 1t. These men.
regardless of their records in the Cop
pinger case and on the sectarian APP
preparation bill, will be before the peo-
pie of Montana on the 11th day of May
asking them to elect them as delegates
TO the st. Louis national republican
convention. Will we elect them? Car
ter has already boosted that he fooled
the people of Montana once, and that
he can do IL again. Let us fool Tom
Carter this time, and elect delegates
who are not afraid and ashamed to
stand by the old flag"
The "other" republicans have con-
cluded to fight this proposition. They
express confidence that the state at
large will certainly send these three
men to the convention, even If Silver
Bow does pull wrong, but they do not
like the idea Of Silver Bow county pull
ing against the republican representa-
tives at Washington, ana so will fight
the n. 4. AS at the GduCuScS lO-nlEnt.
II is semi-offcially announced that
Mayor William Thompson would go as
a delegate to st. Louis If properly ap-
preached. Mr.. Thompson would like to
go, and If he goes will, he declares be
strictly for silver and nothing else. and
will walk out of the convention IL
nominee is chosen who is not out and
out for silver. Ii is beyond all proba-
bility that more than one delegate can
be selected from Silver Bow county, so
the selection of Mayor Thompson
means the defeat of Senator Mantle.
That is why the caucuses tonight will
be so interesting
After the caucuses will come the pri-
maries. They will be held Wednesday
evening and at them the party defeated
at the caucuses will have an opportu-
nifty to retrieve themselves. If the A.
p. As. are defeated tonight they may
win Wednesday. and If the "irregu-
lars win Tonight they may lose next
Wednesday. The caucuses will be held
