RtPUD|ATED BY LABOR
No Right to Use the Word on
the Clark Ticket.
THE TRICK IS DENOUNCED
By the silver Bow Trades and Labor
Asssmbly-rhsy Had Nothing to Do
with Putting That Ticke. in
the Field.

IL IL understood that the title labor
will be eliminated from the various
titles Of the hyphenated ticket sine the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor assembly
~repudiated and denounced the ticket.
This organisation IL the congress- of all
he labor organizations of Butte, and
IL would be strange indeed IL the great
body OF workinsmen Of this county
would consent to be worked in the in
terests Of w. A. Clark and a few greedy
office seekers. So the assembly passed
this resolution:
To the Public.
At a regular meeting OF the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor assembly, a
resolution was passed unanimously de-
nouncing he so-called democratic union
citizen labor ticket. BY order Of Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor assembly.
One of the leading labor union men
OF the city was interviewed by a Stand
ard reporter a. to its action in de-
nouncing the mixed ticket, and said:
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
assembly had nothing to do with put
ting this ticket In the field, although
the intimation a been made by the
Miner that the assembly was back Of
II and that IL IA started by labo-
union men. ] know very well abo

cheetnuts out OF the fire for Mr.. Clark
or n other millionaire. The title Ia

What good a Mr.. Clark ever done
to the workingmen Of this city. anyway
that we should consent TO be his tools?
This party Is running on a platform
which the erection OF six
story buildings In Butte-although the
erection OF one six-story building in
Butte the past year has given employ
ment to more workingmen tina have
been employed on all the other build
erected In Butte the past season.
How many men in Butte have been
employed on buildings erected by w.
A.. Clark the past season? Has there
a single man? How many six
story buildings has Mr.. Clark been
guilty Of erecting in Butte? How many
three-story buildings has ne erected?
What could be more audacious than
for Mr.. Clark 10 tack the title Tabor
onto his ticket? II Is our interest to
ANaI Ahh''' Wv III VS. III IL We
do not believe in being dragged into
politics. we certainly do favor having
all the buildings erected In Butte that
with money see NJ TO erect. W.
wish Mr.. Clark would get in line and
employ some members of the building
unions by erecting a few buildings I'm
this city. We resent a platform which
discourage building in the town
when so many hundreds OF working
men are 1anan1ans nm fhn ara1ff1x, 90
such buildings for a living.
Besides that. the mixed ticket has
. | OF a gold tinge to IL. Labor men
are sincere silver men and cannot be
induced To indorse a ticket which bears
a suspicion OF evil. ] am a populist my
self. but ] VIII say that when popullsts
with gold republicans n gold
democrats they are travelling in mighty
bad company. 1t looks as II they cared
less for silver than for the chance of
Office. I think II would be a
in Silver Bow county TO defeat
the only recognized silver party here
the only party which is for silver and
silver only. All the people favorable To
gold standard have beer combined
INTO the opposition and with them have
connected all the elements which
are looking for office for themselves or
their friends, and all who could be en-
into the combine by hope OF re-
OF for spite"
IL has been represented by the Butte
Miner that the h~yphenated ticket was
gotten up largely by labor men and was
to Helena by VI. w. SilS a labor
The ticket was not got
up by labor men. The petition was
for names in this town by
men who are not members OF labor
unions snd the petition was taken to
Helena by an employe OF the Miner. |
