The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-10-20

II The Butte Miner going 10 bolt
AGAIN. That Is a question which was
heard on six or seven street corners in
h city yesterday. The Miner has be-
come such a chronic boiler that not
the report hat u had bolted part OF
its Clark-democratic-gold republican
out-for-the-stuff ticket. II seems that
the secret committee which makes up
the personnel OF this ticket saw ut
for some reason 20 substitute the name
OF Frank f. Corbett for the name of
Charles +. Alsop on the Clark legisla-
tive ticket. There is no official infor-
nation at hand as 10 whether Alsop
refused 20 run on the mongrel ticket
or whether he was pulled on because
he was not so close as Mr.. Corbett to
Clark. who Is anxious TO have very
close men as candidates for the legisla-
ture this year. However. IL came
about that Mr.. Corbett was substituted
for Mr.. Alsop and the ticket with this
change was filed Tuesday with the
county clerk and recorder along with
other nominations. Yet the Miner yes
terday morning entirely ignored Mr..
Corbett's candidacy. locally. editorially
Ind In it's ticket column. 1t ran the
citizens ticket with the name Of
Charles f. Alsop heading the ~legisla-
tive list instead of the name OF Mr..
Corbett. There are some who think the
Miner has bolted Mr.. Corbett's nominal
ton and there are others who think the
Miner is in a trance. With such a
mixed ticket to support 1t Is not sur
prising IL the Miner finds itself too
mixed up to keep track of it all. Per-
hapsI it is too busy looking for a Clark
made-man."
Speaking of the Citizens ticket
which the Miner placed in it's columns
as the designation of the tickle IL sup
ports. there has been no such ticket as
the Citizens ticket filed with the coun-
~ clerk. and the time for filing nomi-
nations has passed. There Is a gold
republican ticket and there is a popu-
list ticket. These two tickets are iden-
tical with each other and the "Citi-
zens'" ticket in the Miners columns
differs from the one filed by the repub-
licans and populists only I'm that the
Miner has Mr.. Alsop's name In place of
Mr.. Corbett's. Inasmuch as there is
no citizens ticket filed. will the Min |
er support the republican or the popu- |
list ticket? VIII IL advocate voting the |
gold republican ticket with Marshall
at the e or the populist ticket with
Hogan at the head?
b. the way. there are more candi- |
dates on the alleged citizens ticket
who are in the employ of w. A. Clark
than there are candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket who are employed by the
Anaconda company. Yet. from the day
the campaign opened the Miner has as
signed as it's reason for boiling the
democratic ticket that IL Is an Macon
da ticket. charging that the candidates
are largely stockholders or employees of
the Anaconda company. Yet on the |
mongrel ticket. which MIR. Clark's
money has welded together out of sew
eral pieces Of parties. there are more |
employees of w. A. Clark than there
are employees of the Anaconda com |
pany. directly or indirectly. on the dem |
ocratic ticket.
No true democrat can find any just
cause for not supporting the democrat |
&c ticket this fall. No democratic tick |
ct was ever placed before the people of
this county which more deserved sup |
port. For the first time in several years |
the party is nov before the people of
Montana on its merits. II has refused
to fuse with any party or any piece of
"A party. The traitorous element which
for years has hindered the march To
victory of the democratic party has
been exposed and driven to the gold
ranks where II belongs. The demo-
cratic party refused to be an adjunct
to the selfish senatorial desires OF Mr..
Clark or anybody else. Ii has refused
TO fuse with any person or with any
barrel and for that reason. and that
reason solely. Mr.. Clark and his fol-
lowers bolted the ticket and are using
money and influence to down the dem
ocratic party. ready To sacrifice the
great party Of jefferson because the
party ~ htN AM MI 'ldih lbI
United States senator and won't have
him.
Against the excellence Of the men
nominated by the democratic party the
Miner has not been able to say one
word. Its whole argument is that the
ticket is not a Clark ticket. that its
legislative candidates are not pledged
to support Clark or any other man for
the senate and hat is the whole secret
Of the opposition. Mr.. Clark can see
nothing to democracy but his own SEN
atorial candidacy. II he can't use the
democratic party to further his selfish
ends he uses the republican party or
h populist party or anything else he
can acquire by influence" or "argu-
ment." The false claim is made that
