The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-11-08

The time for voting has come and the
only loyal thing the true democrat and
the sincere silver man can do Is TO vote
democrats ticket straight from top
60 bottom. Put h cross In the circle
At the top Of the democratic column.
which Is In the ENTER OF h ballot.
Scratch nobody. You cannot make a
mistake as a silver man IL you vote the
straight democratic ticket. The time
for argument is over and the time for
voting is at hand. In the entire cam
paign no reason has been shown why
any democrat should not support the
democratic ticket. M reason has been
shown why any democrat should sup
port any candidate on the C~lark-fusion
ticket and no reason has been shown
why any silver nan should support any
candidate on the Clark-fusion ticket.
There Is not a man IN n fusion ticket
who Is worthy the support of a single
democrat. Those men on the fusion
ticket who are asking the support Of
democrats are not worthy Of the slight
est consideration from democrats. They
are allied with d~emocracy's historical
enemies in the endeavor to beat the
democratic ticket and they are fighting
harder against the democrats than the
republicans themselves. Let them get
their votes from the republicans. Demo-
Gratis should vote the ticket straight and
show no MERCY TO any candidate who is
not pulling true blue for democracy and
silver.
Yesterday was n lively day in Butte
and the growth OF sentiment was stead
fly toward the democratic ticket. The
streets were crowded all day. for the
Clark mines and smeiters were closed
down and the men ordered to come
down and make sentiment for Clark's
ticket. The loud-mouthed populist boost
ers who betrayed their party for a
whack al Clark's barrel were greatly
in evidence. They are the men who
have talked loudly on the street corners
and In the saloons. until even the re-
pubiicans have become disguised with
them and declare openly that they will
never support the populist part OF the
fusion ticket. Tom Kinds and his gang
made more noise than ever yesterday
with their sputterings about the Ana
conda company and the hill. Tom
Kinds realized late in the afternoon
that he Is a beaten man. He has been
losing votes right along the past few
have long been on 20 the fact that he
has not been pulling true for the bal
ance of the fusion ticket. The populists
know that he sold out the party TO
Clark for his own nomination and what
democratic friends Kinds had he has
lost by his loud-mouthed abuse. Yes
terday Afternoon he and Clint Clark
wagered $500 on his election. A little
later Kinds went to the Butte pool room
and hedged on himself. He authorized
the house TO offer even money that he
would not be elected. hoping in this way
TO get back some of his election money.
Last evening the Kinds branch of the
fusion was worse than ever. Superin-
tendent Jack o'Nefl Of the Anaconda
mine was passing the Butte hotel. when
Kinds and the followers who always
stick close TO him. stopped him. Tom
Kinds demanded why O'Neill was
working against him by pulling for the
straight democratic ticket. O'Neill re-
piled that It was nobody's business.
Kinds struck him in the face. The men
erappied. Kinds followers jumped on
O'Neill. and one of them kicked him in
the face. Sheriff Regan saw the tumult
and in his cool. determined way. quick
ly separated the combatants. That is
an Illustration of the kind OF campaign
Kinds and his followers are conducting.
and maybe they think they car make
votes by such methods.
Vote the democratic ticket straight.
Regan is the best sheriff Butte ever
had. and richly deserves reelection.
No one can say he has not been fair to
all. Holland for treasurer is a young
man Of high ability and unquestioned
integrity and possesses peculiar qualIh-
cations for the office on account OF his
early raining In the First National
bank. Julien for coroner Is excellently
qualified for the office and should re-
ceive every vote. Griffin for auditor
