THEY'LL ALL Be THERE
Preparations for Attending the
Conventions.
POP STARS IN TRAINING
Their Convention Expected to Be the
Most Enjoyable OF the Three-Butte
Democrats Have Nothing to
Ask OF the Convention.

The delegates and alternates to the
democratic state convention viii meet
at the city hall at s o'clock this even
ing to complete arrangements for at
tending the convention. 1t is believed
that most of the alternates will also at
tend the convention and many Others
are going over. 1t is seldom in history
that three state conventions are held in
one city on the same day-in fact, it
may be doubted IL this ever occurred
before. Many hundreds of Butte people
are planning to make the trip and see
one or more of the conventions. While
the democratic convention bids fair to
be the center of interest, the most en-
joyable convention will doubtless be
tina of the populists. 1t is not believed
that the p~opulists in state convention
assembled can be as enjoyable as they
were in the county convention assem-
bled in Butte, but 1t Will be worth see
ing. Some of the stars of the county
convention are advertised TO appear at
the populist convention in Anaconda
and have gone into training for the
event. Connoisseurs in conventions say
that the democratic and silver repub-
lican conventions won't be in II with
that of the populists.
The democratic delegates have moth
ing to ask at the hands of the state
convention, although they can furnish
a candidate for congressman II he Is
wanted. They do intend, however, to
find out if possible why Silver Bow
| can't get its proper apportionment. Ac-
cording TO the democratic vote of two
years ago Silver Bow county ought 10
be sending 100 delegates over to the An
aconda convention instead OF SO
Through the Vaccination of some of the
other counties, Butte's apportionment
decreases more rapidly than its vote in
creases. If this does not stop, Silve
Bow will quit voting the state ticket
and confine its efforts to the county
ticket.
Governor Toole has returned to Hell
ena after spending a couple of days ir
Butte. He did not appear in the demo
cratic county convention yesterday, al
though the delegates would probably
have been glad to hear a speech from
him. w. A. Clark did not appear in thu
convention, either.
1t is TO be hoped that the chairman
of the populist county convention will
not delay too long in calling his conven
tion together again. The people ar
pining for more populist conventions
The convention adjourned subject 4
the call of the chairman, and he will d
the popular thing if he will call IT to
gether again quick. There is some tail
of a split in the populist party betwee
those holding office and those not hold
ing office. This would divide the part
quite equally.
