to pay at least 81 q month for spring
water to drink besides paying s2-So to
the mpa for liquid typhoid germs
that Is only Mt to batne in at certain
seasons. The water supply came a. a
legacy from Clark.
BY the way. what could be Mr..
Clark's Interior motive in substituting
his attorney. r. L. corbett. for candi-
date for the legislature in place of
Charles E. Alsop. who was originally
nominated? Why is Mr.. Clark so anx-
ious to get his attorney into the legis-
lature?
About this stage OF the campaign you
may expect the story to be sprung that
| the Anaconda mines are to be sold
again. that DAILY is going 10 quit or sell
out. or hat Clark Is going 10 buy them
or tina. the mines are going to hut
down directly after election. These
campaign lies are always reserved TO
be sprung two or three days before
election. and you may expect them
about now
Pete Breen ought TO compose a new
speech. More than half Of what he said
Thursday night In abuse Of Marcus
DAILY was the same language. word
for word, hat he used four years ago
in abusing his new found friend OF la
bor." w. A. Clark.
w. A. Clark will be disappointed In
his expectation of catching the French
vote on the strength of having become
a Partisan. The Frenchmen of his
city are American citizens and they
are not ashamed OF the fact. They
glory in their French descent, but they
glory more in the tact hat they have
become Americans. They do not recog-
nize Mr.. Clark as a c~ountryman OF
theirs. Mr.. Clark seems TO think he
has a cinch on the French vote with
out doing anything for them. but he
will find he is mistaken. Tom Fletcher
does not carry their vote in his pocket.
nor does anyone else.
The people of Butte are deeply re-
senting the rabld abuse OF Attorney
General Nolan in yesterday mornings
Miner. Mr.. Nolan is highly respected
in this community as a gentleman Of
honor n probity and a lawyer Of
ability. They resented the imputation
that Mr.. Nolan is the Anaconda COM
pany's attorney general Like every
other speaker on the democratic plat
form. Colonel Nolan advised his hear
ers to vote the straight democratic
ticket from top to bottom. Capt. Frank
Higgins of Missoula did the same. So
did Governor Smith and enator Ma.ts
and all other democratic speakers.
Furthermore, Colonel Nolan advised
the support of the ticket at the ex-
press request of the state central COM
!, mittee.
C.. +. Booth. of the democratic state
executive committee. stated yesterday:
II see the Inter Mountain mentions cv-
cry day or two that T. j. Walsh was
hired by the democratic committee 20
endeavOr TO prevent Hogan's name
from appearing on the Official ballot.
Such a statement is absolutely false.
Neither the democratic committee nor
any member of 1t hired Mr.. Walsh to
appear before the court in this matter.
nor did we know that he was going 10
appear, nor did we take any interest
in the matter"
Some of the Clark campaign liars
were circulating a new one yesterday.
They were saying that the Standard
block. next east of Mr.. Hennessy's new
building. had been leased by Mr.. Hen
messy for his clerks to room in and that
he had told a young girl who asked
him for a position that he would not
employ any woman who did not room
in that block. MIR. Hennessy said yes
terday in reply to this statement: II
don't believe IL is necessary for me 10
tell the people of Butte that this state
ment is an Infamous lie. I have leased
the Standard block and shall use the
ground floor as part of the store. The
upper story will eventually be used as
a warehouse. but at present will con
tinue to be used as a lodging house. I
have expressly provided, however. tina
no women shall have rooms there"
What disreputable methods the Clark
people are resorting to In their desper-
alton.
