Every Time They Jumped Campbelrs
Labor Record They Jumped
the Chairman.

IL took some time to get the Hogan
mass meeting at the Margaret theater
last night started. The special train
from Butte that was TO bring a great
and enthusiastic delegation Of Butte
people. together with the Boston &
Montana band. didn't arrive until s:i5
o'clock. When Il did arrive 1t brought
just 1e persons and no Boston a. Mon
tar band. Partly in the expectation
of hearing some excellent music and
partly through a desire to see Tommy
Hogan as an Anaconda citizen set n
good send-off in his hopeless campaign
for congress, "A large crowd had assem-
bled at the theater. A good many got
tired of waiting and went away. but
later when the Anaconda band led the
Butte crowd of 16 from the depot TO
the theater, the house filled up again.
and at about 2 O'Clock the curtain went
Up and the performance began.

DIR. j. NJ. Sigh acted as chairman OF
the meeting. He made excuses for
unavoidable delays" in the train SER
vice from Butte. and said that through
Unforeseen circumstances the visitors
had not arrived as early as was expect
ed.
DIR. Sigh took occasion to make ref
erence to the political methods of the
Butte Miner. which newspaper yester-
day sent out a numbe Of copies

the methods of the Butte Miner "a

pubiicans OF Deer Lodge county are IN

As the evening wore on IL was no.
ticed hat DIR. Sigh refrained from APP
plauding the abuse of Mr.. Campbelfs
labor record" which was the princi-
pal stock in trade OF all the speakers.
The fact Is that Dr.. Slirh. as a MEM
Der Of the last legislative assembly.
took practically the very same position
that Mr.. Campbell did on the bills In
question. He was one OF the leaders
in the fight against the eight-hour
smelter bill when IL reached the senate
and delivered some telling speeches IN
opposition TO its passage. arguing that
il was a very unwise piece of legisla-
ton. DIR. Sigh was honest in his con-
victions. just as Mr.. Campbell was,
and every fling that Hogan and Bor-
quin took at MIR. Campbelfs Labor
record" struck DIR. Sigh squarely on
the forehead.
DIR. Sigh introduced Mr.. Shifelbin. the
famous populist of Silver Bow county
Mr.. Shifelbin made a few remarks
about corporations and corporation
lawyers. He recommended to the con-
sideration and good wishes OF the peo-
pie the populist-silver republican can
didate. Thomas 5. Hogan.
Thomas s. Hogan then came forward.
Mr.. Hogan's speech was a long one.
He had II all written out in typewriter
form on the table before him. n
when his memory failed him he had
always a source OF practically mex
haustible supply In his typewriter
pages. Mr.. Hogan paid much atten-
ton to Hon. A. ]. Campbell. the speak
er's opponent On the democratic tick
ct. He assailed what he chose TO call
"Campbelrs labor record" He declar-
ed that MI. Campbelrs nomination was

gan freely referred to Mr.. Campbell as
a corporation lawyer. he did not say
of what corporation Mr.. Campbell was
the attorney or how he arrived at the
conclusion hat Mr.. Campbell was a
corporation lawyer at all.
At the end of Mr.. Hogan's address
Chairman Sigh read the following COM
munication from Senator Lee Mantle:

independent voter OF this state To carr
