thousands Of workingmen who knows
all about Jerome. sure. 1t may be
that there Is more than one man in
Butte who Is a Jerome graduate. At
any rate. during the past few days the
current Of Jerome talk has been quietly
coursing its way through Butte. and
its source Is not yet discovered. But.
evidently. this talk has its start in
some one who belongs In labor circles
and who knows Jerome like a book.
| As the Standard remarked yesterday
morning. there was plainly noticeable
in Butte a marked turn in the tide OF
current opinion and all the signs were
distinct of a revulsion against the
| Clark uproar. 1t was not easy to ac-
count for this rising tide of anti-Clark
sentiment. The manifestation Of IL
were even more plain yesterday. One
of the symptoms was the quiet pass
ing round of inquiries about Jerome.
There was considerable of that yester-
day. Jerome Is w. A. Clark's famous
or, rather, his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in Arizona. Clark's famous United
Verde properties are there. The whole
thing is Clark's-mines. smelters, rail-
road, lodging houses, boarding houses.

are Clark's and the reputation of Je-
rome Is hat II is the meanes place
to work in anywhere in North America.
There hasn't been very much said in
the local ~ewspape about Jerome
but from some quiet source of infor-
nation the ugly facts about the place
are evidently spreading among the
Butte miners and laborers who have
recently been wondering how Clark
happened. all of a sudden, to trot him
self out as the champion of the rights

Jerome. anyhow?
THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE SILL

CRATIC TRAITORS. AND THAT is
ALL THERE is ABOt'T 1T. DON'T
VOTE FOR ANY OF THEM.
As the campaign nears Its close evil

sweeping victory is in store for the
democratic party n the cause OF sill

now that those who have no argument

yesterday that they are going to vote
the democratic ticket in order that
never again may such betrayal take
place. In populist ranks there is the
same feeling and 1t will be only a
small fragment OF III party which
Tom Kinds will be able to hold for his
Clark-gold fusion. silver and democ-

ELEvENTH-HOUR FRIENDS.
As defeat becomes more certain. the
Clark leaders are resorting to the most
desperate means to bolster up their
tagging campaign. It would be q mat
ter of interest to know how much
money has been used by Mr.. Clark the
past few weeks and months in the en-
deavor to get up strikes among en-
ployes of the Anaconda company. His
latest effort has been made this week.
The endeavor has been desperately
made to get certain Anaconda employe.

employees Of the Anaconda company
might be thrown out of work for a few
weeks and the Clark fusionists might
make some political capital out Of II.
What kind of a political monster is a
man who. in order to better his chances
Of carrying an election. would endeavor
to have 5000 men thrown out of work

hardship and suffering that would be
caused at the edge of winter by these
men being forced put of work in order
that Clark might gain a point in a
political night and perhaps get himself
