duly elected and qualified member of the

All of the defendants admit the publi-

desperate the consnirators must have
been is evidenced by the fact that $50. 900
of Days money is turned over to the
state just to create the impression that
an effort was being made to buy a seat
in the senate" They deny that the words

and daughter. Desperate attempt of a
perjurer and constituencies villain to
stain the reputation of the reputable men
and women of Montana"

each and every word Of it so published by
them was true and justifiable.

the answer contains other allegations
concerning the publication of matters in
connection with the senatorial battle and
the combined effort of the enemies of
Clark to a seat in the United States sem
ate. Among them It admits the publica-
ton of the following:
Fred Whiteside, retiring senator from
Fiathead county. having made a careful
ly prepared h%arangue. The speech was
such as could have emanated from no one
but a masculine strumpet, a political
bawd, a well paid harlot of the con-
scienceless gang of party wreckers, whose
false lights gleam on every headland of
democracy in the state of Montana His
vindication complete. Mr.. Clark's' sup
porters fully eXonorated by grand jury.
Testimony was false. Damnable plot of
the constructors came to naught. a
moral leper lost his seat. Senate cham
Der will no longer be polluted by Fred
Whiteside. Vote was two to one. Con-
proof that Geiger had been robbed
of his rights. The latter sworn IN at once.
stanton and Meyers and Clark and
Norris made a desperate attempt to delay
the righting of an outrage upon the ballot
box. but the honest senator's, democrats,
populists and republicans would not con-
sent that the loathsome and d~etested
bride solicitor hou remain in their
presence a moment longer than necessary
and Whiteside was sent forth to wallow
in his own filth the latest example of
purity in politics. an object of scorn and
contempt of all who know him."
