Missoula, Nov. AIN Missoula county
the interest in the political campaign
Is now centering in the congressional
contest. Tom Marshall, the gold repub-
iican candidate. Is personally a favor
lite with Missoula people and. were he
on the right platform. there would be
hardly a vote in the county against him.
But, running as he is on the goldbug
platform. his contest I'm Missoula coun-
~ Is not an easy one. There is a large
portion of the voters OF the county so
strongly welded to the silver cause that
they are forced to forget their personal
desires in this matter. There Is a lot
OF Tom Carter and Mark Hanna money
at work In the county in behalf OF Col
onel Marshalrs candidacy and IL is be-
ing freely used To divert the silver vote
from the only silver ticket in the coun-
~. the democratic.
A. j. Campbell made an excellent i'm
preston upo the occasion OF his speech
here the other night. The crowd that
turned out to hear him was the largest
that ever attended a political meeting
In this city and his reception was en-
thusiastic In the extreme. The OPPOSE
ton to Campbell in this county comes
from the same source as In Deer Lodge
and In Silver Bow counties. The Ie-
TINA opposition Is from the gold re-
p~ublicans. who are making their fight
here upon the fact that this is the home
OF their candidate. The other opposi-
ton. treacherous and u~nderhanded,
comes from the men who. while claim
ing TO he opposed to Marshall. are real
ly working for him by urging the can
didacy OF T.. \. Hogan. This does not.
or course. include all of the Hogan sup
porters I'm this county. Some of them
are sincere. There are. however. sew
eral Instances in which Marshall men
nave distributed money to be used in
this county to advance the Hogan cause
and to hire men to work for Hogan.
Much OF the Hanna-Carter money In
the county is being used I'm this way.
These gold men realize that every vote
that they can get for Hogan in this
county Is really a vote for Marshall. as
II simply serves TO reduce the Camp
bell plurality.
The Marshall people are planning for
a regular Teddy Roosevelt spectacular
trip over the Occur d'Alene branch and
viii take their candidate along on a
special train. Hanna pays for the train
and a lot OF the boys will get a free
ride. The last stop will be made at
Saltese. where the silver miners will be
urged TO vote for n goldbug. The lum-
w. "hf's fobh' - uttu I'LL
the mines OF the state will be asked to
their support to the Carter candi-
date. despite the fact that Carter has
called them dirty quacks" and lying
Hanna will not get much
OF "A return for his money spent on this
trip. He could use II in more profitable |
fields.
The candidacy of Tom Hogan at first
met with n general response in Mis-
soula county. but the men who were
shouting for him have looked more
carefully into the matter and they n
that TO vote for Hogan Is to vote for
and they are not as enthusi-
astic as they were I'm this respect. A..
j. Campbell ought to receive the solid
silver vote of this county. The man
who is thinking OF voting for Hogan
stop and consider that. i'm so
doing, he Is voting against silver. for
Ii cutting down the vote of Campbell.
who Is the only rival of the goldbug
There il but one silver tick
In this county and that Is the dem
ocratic. The name OF T. :. Hogan on
he Missoula county ballot stands above
he names OF the goldbug candidates
Tor the state legislature. He In I'm Mis-
county aiding their cause. Those
who are inclined to support him should
