Like to Be Humbuqued.

The saying of P. T. Barnum that the
American people liked to be humbug-
ged could not have a more forcible il
lustration than Saturday nights con-
vention. 1t was representative con-
vention of the democratic voters of the
city of Ell Paso and yet, it nominated
Joseph Magoffin for mayor when it had
number of men who would have &C
cepted the nomination and who as
mayor, would have given the city an
administration in keeping with its
great chances of prosperity and it's
growth, which in the next two years is
bound TO be phenomenal.
The convention also ratified the NOM
tnation of Ia young man as alderman
from the first ward who has no claims
upon the people except that he is the
partner of the present city scavenger.
This nomination was made in the face
of the fact that J, A Brock who made
one of the best alderman Ell Paso ever
had, Phil Young who is heavy tax
payer in the city and several other
good democrats it is said would have
any of them accepted the position if it
had been offered them.
These two nominations were decided

tunity offers, hoping that it may be the
means of saving other lives. For sale

A STRONG PROTEST.
The Typographical Union Is Opposed to
Geigers Bill.

The typographical Union Is Opposed to
Gciger's Bill
At meeting of the Butte Typo
graphical union last evening the follow
ing protest was passed to the printing
bill introduced in the legislature by
Geiger:
ITO the Honorable Members of the
Sixth Legislative Assembly:
In, behalf of those engaged in the
printing business in Butte, Typograpni-
cal union No. 126 enters its earnest pro-
test against the passage of the bill in
troduced by Senator Geiger, repeating
the law STIMULATING that all public print
ing of whatever character should be
executed by none other than Montana
manufacturers and wOrkmen, and al
lowing outside competition to take the
place of the present law.
''The same argument which appealed
so forcibly to the members of the Fourth
legislative assembly towards the crea-
ton of the present law is just as forcible
at this day in its application to the
business condition of Montana, particu-
larly in the printing business. If the
law is repealed either one of two things
will happen Eighty per cent. of the
business will forever leave the state or
printing employers will be compelled to
pay their employees less than living
wages.
I'm either event it means III, das!ruc-
ton of an industry which has been
most potent in the upbuilding of our
great state.
People in Montana understand why
wages are higher in it's cities than wages
paid to men employed in Minnesota and
other states. The cost of living is
higher, hence the cost of production is
correspondingly greater. Montana
printers are unable to compete with
those of st. Paul or Chicago. If the is
sue is forced it means the destruction
of their business, and this will be the
certain effect of the passage of the bill
introduced by Senator Geiger.-
with entire confidence III the intel
lgence of the Sixth legislative assembly
we ask its members to give this protest
and petition their serious consideration
"Given at Butte this End day of Feb
ruary, at a meeting of Typographical
union No. 126.
