Desperate Efforts to Swing Votes
to Hogan
BY THE MARSHALL MEN
A Vote for Hogan Is q Vote For
MISUNDERSTANDING Men Are Be-
ginning to Understand the
Real State of Affairs.

Hogan n are exerting themselves TO
divert silver voters from the demo-
cratic ticket. which IL the only ticket In
his county that is favorable To silver.
Money Is being used freely to enlist
shouters for Hogan and TO misrepresent
to the people Of this county the true sit
uation. A vote for Campbell Is a vote
for silver. a vote for Hogan Is a vote
for Tom Marshall and that is the very
reason why the distinguished gentle
mans friends have recently developed
such an active interest in the welfare
OF the Hogan candidacy. Fortunately
the laboring men of this county are.
most OF them. beginning to understand
the real state of affairs. They have a
sincere admiration for the young man
from Anaconda, but they realize the
hopelessness of his cause this fab and
their loyalty To silver will not permit
them to throw away a vote. They are
silver men and realize hat silver Is the
one issue in the present campaign. To
further the cause OF the white metal
they will stand by the standard bearer
OF the silver cause and will support
Campbell.
Colonel MarshalPs friends are making
the abandonment OF Fort Missoula an
issue and are saying that the only way
TO have the fort restored is to vote for
the republican nominee for congress.
They forget that the fort was ordered
abandoned by n republican administra-
ton and that while the abandonment
was going on Tom Carter was writing
and telegraphing and talking that he
had been promised by the war depart
ment OF this republican administration
that the fort would not be abandoned.
n .~n.
tration that abandoned the post and
the people here are now asked by the
administration to vote for one of its
own supporters to restore the fort. This
Is an absurd argument. The present
administration has demonstrated that
IL will not rehabilitate the post and Ii Is
unreasonable to expect that one of the
loyal administration men will bolt on
this proposition.
The lying tongues OF the two men who
have been so busy Of late circulating
false reports in Missoula and Ravalli
ounties are not as active now as they
were. The owners of these tongues have
kept them wagging here and at Stew
ensville and AVE stated positively that
all of the Anaconda company's infiu-
ence was being used to support Mar
shall on the quiet. This lie has been
refuted wherever II has appeared. but
Its promoters and circulators nave re-
turned to the assault each time. There
are two or these men, and one Of them
Is so well known here that his word has
not been accepted. but the other. a re-
publican candidate from another coun-
~. has been more successful I'm making
people listen to him. His tales have
been as false as those OF the other. hut
they have been more plausible. There
was a tacit agreement here this year
that the campaign should be made n
clean one, but these f-alse-tongued fell
lows have attempted to make IL n dirty
one. There Ii no truth i'm their state
ments and the people here should
know II.
Sunday night finds the democratic
ticket In Missoula county in excellent
shape. The vigorous campaign that the
democrats have carried on for the past
three weeks has been successful. as the
results OF the Tuesday balloting will
show. The democratic campaign has
been I'm marked contrast To that con-
Quoted in this county by the republic
cans. MOI one Of the goldbug candi-
dates for the legislature has dared to
take the platform and announce his
principles. These goldbugs have at
tempted a secret campaign of deception.
Wherever IL has been possible they have
represented themselves as silver repub-
licans. Wherever they have found gold
bug sentiment they have announced
themselves as goldbugs-their true po-
sition. They have conducted this cow
ardly. deceitful campaign I'm all parts Of
the county. afraid to speak from any
platform. but sneaking around like
thieves and traitors. Traitors they are
TO the best interests of Montana. Gold
bugs. all OF them. but ashamed to con
fess II from any platform.
So II has come about that the people
OF Missoula county have determined to
send TO Helena as legislators men who
are loyal to the cause OF silver. These
men will vote for a United States sena-
tor next winter and Missoula county
does not want to have any hand In
sending a goldbug TO Washington TO
represent the state of Montana I'm the
federal senate. Missoula Is right upon
the silver question n her vote on
Tuesday will demonstrate this amply
and fully.
The Hogan wave has spent Its force
In Missoula county and the vote that
Mr.. Hogan will receive here will fall far
below the original estimate. Many OF
the Missoula friends OF Mr.. Hogan are
beginning TO realize hat to vote for
Hogan Is 10 vote for Marshall. as II re-
duces the Campbell vote just that
nue. While there are hundreds Of
good friends OF Mr.. Hogan in this coun-

this week. not because they do not adj
mire him but because they do not wish
90 jeopardize silver's interests in this
state. There Is but one ticket in Mis-
soula county that and for the bright
and right side Of the silver question and
that is the ticket of the democratic
party. From the candidate for con-
gress TO the candidate for constable.
every nan is loyal TO the cause OF silver
and Is pledged to It's support. This Is
the ticket that stands for the best in
terests OF Missoula county and Il the
ticket that deserves the loyal support Of
every voter In Missoula county who is
friendly TO the silver cause. A vote for
the democratic candidates Is a vote for
silver. A vote any other way Is a vote
that jeopardizes the silver cause in
Montana. The democratic ticket should
be voted straight by every citizen of
Missoula county.
