caucuses were held in Butte some OF

munlty called CLARK men to the dem

because CLARK men" are not numerous
in Butte. But they took their part In
the proceedings.
This county convention held two ses-

first TO last in the selection OF democrat
ic candidates. One OF them accepted a
nomination and his name Is on the
ticket.
Thus there was no bolt. For reasons
that are recognized by every citizen OF
Butte as purely personal, Mr.. Clark
simply Topped. He took up candidates
who had been nominated for the legis-
lature and for county offices by the gold
wing of the republican party In shver

This Clark disturbance was no bolt.
No democrats in Butte have part or lot
IN II. on the contrary. that city's dem
| ocrats, pledged to uphold free coinage
are united in their support of the regu-
lar democratic ticket. They distinctly
refused. all OF them. to join the Clark
goldbug movement; for that matter, SO
did the silver republicans in Butte. The
Miners ticket is the Silver Bow Nc
Kinley republican ticket-the only one
OF that description in the county OF Sill
yer Bow. The Clark disturbance. now
nearly subsidized. was not a bolt-simply
a plain, old fashioned. every day sort Of
political flop.

REGISTER, BOYS, REGISTER


Clark Is anxious to beat only the Deer
Lodge county democratic candidates
for h legislature. lie doesn't care
about the rest Of the democratic county
ticket one way or the other. In the
generosity of his heart he is willing to
let the people OF Deer Lodge county
elect whom they please to represent
them at the court house. He knows
that he can't buy a single one Of the
democratic candidates for the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Clark realizes that he can't
go before the legislature n ask for
the senatorship as a democrat-his
course in fusing with the goldbug re-
publicans in Silver Bow county pre-
cludes that. What he purposes to do
is to elect all sorts and conditions OF
legislators. In the hope OF buying
enough to squeeze through somehow.
IL Is a desperate scheme and is doomed
to utter failure. But he is trying II all
right.
The sterling honesty of the demo-
cratic candidates for the legislature Is
matched by their splendid ability. They
are in every sense the most competent
set of candidates ever nominated for
the legislature by any party In Deer
Lodge county. In their hands the in
terests of the county and of the city
will be safe. and nobody need lie awake
nights worrying lest those interests get
any the worst of II in any OF the
scrambles hat frequently take place
in the legislature. The Deer Lodge rep
resentatives will rank among the very
ablest legislators In the body. The are
men Of brains and ability and they
know how to think and express them
selves when on their feet.
The entire democratic county ticket
Is excellent. II deserves to be, as II Will
be, elected by a good old-fashioned
Deer Lodge democratic majority. From
time to time the Standard will call at
tention to the candidates individually.
This morning IL wishes to say a word
about Miss Gleeson. the candidate for
county superintendent Of schools. To
affirm that Miss Gleeson is entirely
competent to fill this important office is
not doing her justice. She Is more than
competent. She would bring to the
office far more han ordinary ability,
Judgment, tact and skill. She has
qualities of mind that in the very high
est degree qualify her for the work. In
her experience as a teacher in the
schools of Anaconda she has satisfied
children. with the parents, with her
fellow teachers. with every one with
whom she has come in contact. They
all like her, they all hold her in the
highest possible esteem both socially
and as an educator. Miss Gleeson IL
sure OF an immense vote n she de-
serves IL.
To-day the county central democratic
committee will open headquarters I'm tbs
Durston building. Thu committee in
vftes all democrats to make themselves
at home here. The committee extend!
an especial invitation to out-of-towr
democrats, hopes they will call al
the headquarters rooms when in the
city.

- My nine working days left in
~ this prolonged political cam
paign. yet the Butte Miner has
not come to light in a satisfactory de-
Tense OF its ticket. The time Is short:
we begin 90 suspect that the Miner is
not going to try to excuse Its advocacy
OF goldbug republicans for membership
in the legislature. II is as well: the
Silver Bow county democratic ticket
is so safe hat the campaign point Is
passed where any excuses on the Min
er's part cut a figure. The growing
strength Of this ticket keeps pace with
the deepening conviction in Butte that
regardless of all personal grievance,
and goldbug disturbances in the Mine
Office. the city's silver sentiment mus
b nrmly asserted at the polls.

The Absurdity OF IL.

q ,HEN you give the subject a
" moments thought. how ridicu-
lous the Miner makes itself in
Its effort TO break down. with gold-re-
publican candidates for the legislature,
the democratic free-coinage ticket in
Silver Bow county, And how doubly-
ridiculous the case becomes when you
consider that Mr.. Clark's Miner does
fhis as the preface TO the latest edition
IN Mr.. Clark's effort to buy one Of Mon
tana's seats in the federal senate,
What gan,
The man who fancies that there is a
remote chance of success in this Clark
effort TO put Silver Bow on record
against silver doesn't know the county.
The scheme is preposterous. Recall the
figures which were quoted yesterday on
this page touching the election OF two
years ago. Silver Bow county polled
about eleven thousand votes: more
than ten thousand OF these were cast
for Bryan and for free coinage. Does
m man believe that Butte is going
10 lie down this year and let a repub-
ican senatorial purchase scheme run
over the town? The very suggestion is
absurd
The Clark disturbance in Butte might
possibly ave pleaded some sort OF ex-
use for its presence IL IL were a demo-
cratic movement. II cannot claim tina
quality: TO a man, the Silver Bow
democrats utterly refused TO have
anything to 10 with the Clark nop. The
regular democratic ticket was entirely
acceptable TO the party; Il was named
on an o~ut-and-out ~free-coinage plat
form. So the Clark movement was
forced to get together what Il could; it
gathered together a band which. before
