assertion that Chairmen Jones, buo-

advise the fusion of all parties pro-

that Chairman Jones is not fully in

believes, that the democratic party
could win all the offices without rus

The tendency toward one republi-
can ticket and one republican party
in the state this year is growing as
the time for holding the conventions
approaches. The way the matter is
generally looked upon is that in elect
ing a senator and q congressman from
this state it is certain that none but
silver men will represent Montana in
congress. The silver issue is the only
principle upon which the two wings
Of the party differ, and the difference
upon this issue is that the adminis-
tration men believe that the Other
principles Of the party arc paramount
to the silver question. Now that
silver is not directly at issue, the
question occurs to all the republican:
whether Or not question which ha
no direct bearing on the campaign II
Montana is worth sacrificing part
success for. From the tone of th
republican press Of the state it is e,
| idcnt that a majority Of the republ
cans are of the opinion that the issu
is not worth the sacrifice, and all il
| dications 60 to show that there wi
] be but one republican party in MOI

that will surprise the most cnthusi-

entering upon an era Of development
that means a greatly increased pros
perity for Montana as we'll as other
western states. The unprecedented
demand for legitimate Investments,
he says. is certain to bring about the
development Of mining properties
now obscure or unknown. Other por-
tions of the independents interv.e
are as follows:
The east is fairly overloaded with
money. This slrplussAgc Of money
has been felt for some time, but it is
at its highest peint now.

MANTLE. ON FUSION.
The Senator Donhts Its Possibility in the
Fall Campaign.

l
Fall Campaign.
Great Falls, Aug. Ex-senator Lee
Mantle is in the city for the first
visit Of many months. He has spent
the time in meeting and talking with
republicans and others in regard to
the political situation, locally, and in
reference to the state. This morn
ing he stated to the Standard re-
porter that he very much doubted
the possibility this fall of fusion
between the silver forces.
HThcre must be fusers in order to
have a fusion, and there can hardly
be fusion on state officers unless
fusion prevails on the county ticket.
The man who is running for the office
Of constable will say, i am just as
good Il silver man as Charley Hart
man or Judge PcmbertOn ever dared
to be and il fusion is good for them
it is good for me also Two years
ago the silver republicans were hardly
organized and for the sake Of silver
they sacrificed themselves SO far as
offices were concerned. The political
situation has changed since that time
and this year they will hardly care
to fuse, unless they are recognized az
one of the fusers, and il the principle
of fusion applies to the state offices
then the principle holds true in loca
affairs. Silver republicans, becaus'
they believe in a national tinancia
policy, will not consent to throv
away their rights as taxpayers ant
their consequent right to participant
in their local government. a MAJ
makes one sacrifice chcerfully, bu
he will not continue such act!o
longer than is absolutely necessary.
