NOLAN ACCUSES CLARK
OF TREASON TO SILVER
AND TO DEMOCRACY
The Attorney General and Captain Higgins Arouse the
Enthusiasm Of Butte Democrats s-Ager the Wey-
ler Of America Branded as Murderer

and he declared that every man who
died at that camp. save those who died
in Letter hospital, until the Sternberg
hospital was established, was mur-
dered. He roasted in unmeasured
terms the whitewashing committee.
They claim IL was the mems own fault.
Mr.. Higgins said he could tell for a
week stories of neglect and outrage.
Water was furnished that was not fit
to drink and no boilers were provided
to boil the water in. No lime was fur
nished for disinfecting purposes. Peo-
pie of Butte complain of the water
here. but they would never kick again
IL they once tasted the water at the
camp-would never complain again of
Butte water.
THE credit of the war;" said Mr..
Higgins, belongs to the American sail
or and the American soldier. The scorn
of the war belongs to Russell A. AL

The Local Fight.
Speaking of the local fight. Mr.. Hig-
gins said:
''Over in Missoula / read the Ana
conda Standard and / learn that a
gentleman has lately arrived from
Paris. And / read the Miner and /
learn that another gentleman has late
ly came down from the hill. Now,
when this gentleman returns from
Paris and when this gentleman comes
down from the hill, there's something
going to happen, for they are sure to
meet. And then the democratic party
always suffers. AS one of the young
democrats of the state / want to say
for the young democracy that / am
tired of this thing. / do not recog-
nize the fights or quarrels of anybody.
and I say to you all. capitalists and
laboring men alike, that the democrat
ic party has platform that IL is proud
to go before the people on and we
are proud to ask you to support the
platform and the ticket. / speak not
for one or the other of these two gen.
tlemen.. / have been in democratic
conventions year after year and some
times i have supported one and some
times the other. but have always act
ed Independently and have done as I
pleased and what 1 thought was for
the best interests of the whole party.
There has been much abuse in this
campaign and your attention has been
taken away from the main issue. Now.
first of all II is your duty and your
interest to elect a democratic free sill
yer man to congress. Complement
that by electing democratic candidates
for the legislature. so that they may
elect a democratic silver man to the
United States senate. That is the duty
you owe to the state Of Montana.
They say that there are three par
ties In Montana asking your suffrage.
i say that there is only one whole par
ty. and that Is the democratic party.
In 10 counties of Montana there is no
silver republican legislative ticket in
the field. over i'm Missoula we are just
as well or as you are. We have a mon
grel ticket in the field. 1t is a silver re-
publican ticket and a gold republican
ticket and there are the same candi-
dates on both tickets. In three counties
there Is no gold republican ticket in
the field. In 10 counties the populists
have forgotten to put up a ticket. Sc
you see that the great democratic party
is the only one which is running before
the people in every county of the state
Now. these different sections of parties
are apt to get together over in Helena
and the result might be that some one
besides silver democrat would be elect.
ed to the United States senate. Sc
stand by the democratic legislative tick.
ct. Treat republicans and silver repub-
licans and populists alike and tell them
that all coons look alike to you and
vote for none but democrats. pure and
simple. Treat as enemies the opposi.
