Our contemporary should be more
corporations controlling "a Republi-
can United States senator. MOnta-
ma was never represented in Wash
ington by a Democrat who did not
owe his election to a corporation,
and it will be so again if one gets
there. Two of the biggest corpora
lions i'm the state are now figuring to
see which will name the next United
States senator. Furthermore. the
daily Democratic press of this state
is controlled absolutely by corporate
power-its editors are mere autOma-
tons who execute the will of the
bosses. The ARGUS believes that in
this day and age united capital is
necessary to develop the resources
not only of the United States but OF
Montana in particular. 1t is what
the mines OF Fergus county need. and
laboriDg men and all Others, would
hail the coming of large capital. We
have no time for the anarchistic cry
against corporations. but when it is
Il notorious fact that one or two
Democratic corporations attempt to
control the politics of the whole
state, we say that n Democratic
editor exhibits unlimited gall in even
neutrality-suspicious.. 1t is a no
torious fact also, that the corpora
tons which attempt to control the
politics of Montana have NEVER
sPEST A DOLLAR IN FERGUS COUNTY
unless it was to buy votes or the
support of a Democratic newspaper.

Elect The Whole Ticket.

Every Republican voter i'm Fergus
county should heartily acquiesce i'm
the choice OF ticket made by the rep
resentatives of the party I'm conven-
ton assembled. No trivial or per-
sonal matter should prevent you
from casting a vote for all of the
nominees. The ties of party and fit
ness to perform the duties of the Off
e for which they aspire should con-
troll your action. Your delegates to
the county convention exercised great
care and Judgment in the choice of
candidates and their action should he
ratified at the polls.
1t is important, not alone to every
Republican, but to every voterin Fer
gus county, that the entire legisla-
tive ticket is elected. Upon the COM
pleXion of the next state legislature
depends the politics of the next fed
eral senator from Montana. From
the present point of view that man
will he Senator Mantle or free trade
bourbon Democrat. Now, as be-
tween the present incumbent, Sena-
tor Mantle and a monkey on a stick,
to be worked by the millionaires, this
paper greatly prefers the former, as
we believe does every Republican i'm
Fergus county. The Republican
nominees on the Legislative ticket are
all good men, level-headed and iden-
titled with the best interests of the
county and state. Montana should
have a senator at Washington for
the next six years who will he able to
do something for the state and the
country at large. All a Democratic
senator could do would be to cast
his vote with a hopeless minority,
oppose every Isl for the glory
and welfare of the whole country,
and draw his salary.
Let every Republican give N day
to his party, his country and the
whole ticket and every man on the
ticket will be elected on the Sth day
of November.

And They Laughed Outright.

A newspaper report of the New
York Democratic State Convention
contains the following:
During the seconding speeches
Thomas Carmody of Yates sprung a
surprise on the convention. He rose
to second the nomination of Mr..
Stanchfield. In the beginning of his
speech he mentioned the name of
William j. Bryan. Instantly there
was an uproar from the galleries. A
dozen of the delegates rose and
cheered, u h great majority OF
them sat silent. Mr.. Hill and Boss
CrOcker laughed outright at the cap
ers of the silverites, and even Senator
Murphy smiled.
And even Senator Murphy smiled.
1t was such a joke; it a so anus
ing. There was an uproar from the
galleries; a dozen of the delegates
rose and cheered, but the great ma
jority of them sat SILENT And this is
the silver party! the only friend of the
white metal! In New Jersey, when
the silver men of the party made an
effort to inject silver into the plat
form we learn that 1.-The band struck
up a lively rune and the opposition
accepted the situation or words to
that effect. In Montana the party
champions silver because by SO doing
it hopes To gain the offices. In New
York and New Jersey the issue is
lodged and treated with levity be-
cause it is feared to advocate it the
offices would he lost. And yet "De-
mocracy is the only friend of silver"
No man of intelligence and honest
convictions should he fooled by these
political harlequins.

OF courseit was to he expected that
the hired prevaricators of the Demo-
cratic press would call the commits
sion chosen to examine into the con
duct of the III "a embarrassing
committee Nothing else could be
anticipated of them. But there are
two Democrats at least on the COM
mission, and they are men of charac-
ter and high standing. Capt. Howell
OF Georgia is a free silver Democrat
and when asked by President Nc
kinley to act as one of the commits
sioners absolutely refused unless the
examination was to he thorough i'm
every respect" When assured that
such was the desire he consented. Is
the integrity and sincerity of such a
man to be impeached and tabooed by
a few irresponsible mud singers of a
depraved and hostile press? What
kind of people have we in this coun-
try if they will place any credence in
these self-constituted censors and in
principled falsifiers? We believe the
majority of the people are fair and
just and will accept the verdict of the
commission when their labors are
ended. War is no picnic and there
are hardships that cannot be avoided.

Tom Shaw, Democratic candidate
for sheriff this fall, is not eve a tax
payer in the county, except insofar
as paying a poll tax of 81 makes him
fall within the strict letter of the law.
He does not own 81 worth of prop
erty in Fergus county, DR. if he does,
he failed to give it in for assessment,
as his name does not appear on the
tax roll. C. NJ. Clary, Republican
n DTlinee has been a property holder
for many years: his assessment this
year is $3.50. Do the taxpayers OF
Fergus county want one of their
number to hold the most important
office in the county or do they want
some, nice, smooth, young man, who
pays 81 poll tax to draw the salary
of sheriff?

lit strikes us, if we may be excused
for giving advice to our goldbug
friends, that it would have been ad-
visable to have had the criminal
charge, now hanging over G. NJ. Kel-
ley, removed before they nominated
him for the important office of clerk

and it went off p~rematurely. But Mr..
Kelly has no reason to he dismayed
at the onslaught. He al win. as
glorious a battle on the lines of that
assault case as on any other. He is
just as willing to face the public opin-
ion of Fergus county on that charge
as he has beer anxious to face a jury
and has been trying to have the case
brought to trial for six months.
The complaint made by T. j. Johns
charging C. NJ. Kelley with assault
in the second degree was filed in JUS
tice Gudgel's court April 9th and Mr..
Kelly Immediately waived examina-
ton and was ready for trial. At both
the June and August terms he has
been present and prepared to face his
accuser. but the man with the base
ball bat never put in an appearance.
But for the fact that County Attor-
ney Cheadle went with Company L
and his successor, Mr., Smith, was not

have forced the issue. Mr.. Johns
could have forced it at any time.
Why didn't he? Can it be that he, as
