The Gold Candidate.

~ HE republicans of Butte are in
a sorry way when they permit
their city conventions to be
dominated exclusively by the Clark in
fiuence. The fact that Clark support
ed a. gold republican legislative ticket
last fall, and the further fact that he
bought enough republican votes in the
legislature to be elected to the United
States senate-these facts do not nee
essarly qualify him to be a good repub-
lican. although some republicans seem
to think so.
The better class of Butte republicans
have no more use for w. A. Clark than
the better class of Butte democrats,
who have distinctly and unequivocally
repudiated him and his scandalously
dishonest political methods But the
Clark influence got in its work on yes
terday's republican convention all
right. Good silver republicans, men
whose sympathies and hopes have al
ways been on the side of free coinage,
We're deliberately thrown down to make
way for a gold candidate for mayor.
It is eminently fitting that the Clark
candidate for mayor of Butte should
be a gold republican. just as was the
Clark candidate last fall for state SEN
ator and just as We're most of the
Clark candidates for representatives
from Silver Bow county. Again is the
city of Butte. the strongest center of
free coinage in the United States, call
ed upon to decide whether it shall elect
TO high office-ths time the highest
in the municipalities man who is in
accord with the vast majority of its
citizens on the financial issue, or a
man whose monetary views are sharply
and avowedly antagonistic to theirs.
There could be few greater calamities
to the cause of free coinage than that
the city of Butte should elect a gold
republican to be it's mayor 1t is a
monstrous proposition. 1t is a violent
presumption that a man holding the
pronounced republican views that Mr..
Kirk does can receive any considerable
support at the Butte polls.
The contest is shaping itself along
precisely the same lines as obtained
last fall--the straight democratic par
ty against a heterogeneous combination
of all the other parties, with the gold
republican candidates at the front; and
the result will likewise be the same

JAMES w. TAPP is the name of
nominee for mayor of Wichita,
Kan This is what he promises
to do if elected: Ten dollars fine for
any girl wearing boomers on the street.
Any policeman heard swearing will be
discharged and all will be required to
carry Bibles. Religious services will
be held twice daily in the city build
ing. Free street car service will be
given on Sunday morning to all church.
goers. Sunday theaters and baseball
games will be forbidden. Splitting on
the sidewalk will be a Enable offense."
If Mr.. Tapp is elected, Wichita will
make strictly holy show of herself.

Sample Republicanism.

~ CCORDING to Springfield, ILL.,,
dispatch, the republican man
ayers Of Illinois have thought
out daring scheme to return a solid
republican delegation to congress from
that state. They propose that the dem
ocratic congressional apportionment act
of 1898 be repealed and that nothing
be put in its place, leaving the state
without congressional districts. All of
the twenty-five representatives from
Illinois would then be elected as con-
gressmen-a t-large are elected-by di-
rect vote of the whole state. The effic-
acy of the plan to send a republican
delegation from Illinois to congress is
not doubted if the scheme is held to be
constitutional. The suggestion at first
glance seems so wild as to be ridiculous.
1t is, however, sufficiently within rea-
son to have received serious consider
alton by the men who direct the re-
publican organization machinery in the
state and legislature. The idea itself
grows out of the republican complaint,
made since 1898, that the republican
party cannot get under the apportion-
ment, the representation in congress to
which its vote entities it, and that it
cannot reapportion the state during this
session without bad fight. The state
constitution clearly intends that the
state shall be divided into congressional
districts. 1t says so. But good lawyers
have told the hackers of the idea that
the districts would not and could not
deprive the state of its proportionate
number of members of congress. II
other words, it is argued that If the
state never had been divided up into
congressional districts the whole state
would have a right to elect congress
men just the same. This is only sam
pie of the lengths the degenerate re-
publican party of the present day is
willing to go to perpetuate itself in
power.

The members of the board of registra-
ton were kept busy all day yesterday, the
number OF those who registered being
very large. Up to yesterday morning the
total number of names registered was
919. Five hundred and ten names were in
scribed on the books yesterday, thus
bringing the total to 1,i&O.
There were more than 60 persons who.
when registering, claimed that their nat
uralization papers were on record, but on
examination it was found that they were
not. These persons are advised that it is
to their benefit to first see before register
ing whether their naturalization fapers
are on record, as in the event that their
papers are not on record they will lose
their votes

<.~rHE History of the Crime of w.
A. Clark" on the second
page of this issue of the
Standard, will be found interesting read
ing. The story Of the $4,000 turned over
to the investigating committee by Sena-
tor Whiteside is not gone into in detail
as that is familiar to everybody in the
state-and, generally speaking, every
body out of it as well. The intent of the
writer was to give a broad, comprehen-
sve view of Mr.. Clark's plot ito de-
bauch the legislature, and the manner in
which he and his lobby of assistant
plotters successfully carried it out.

ways had lots of friends i'm the ward
whom he has sincerely attached To him
by his faithful services and other quail
titles. and these friends are more de-
termined than ever that he should win
in the present contest. His opponent
is coming man in the ward, but the
way things look now, Mr.. Sheahan is
to be his own successor. Somebody,
during the past week, mentioned JEFF.
Riley for the position of councilman.
One of the rumors Of a campaign few
years ago was Mr.. Riley's candidacy
and as he himself puts il, though he
was not nominated. he found out who
his friends were. Since that time, Mr..
Riley's politics have been OF rather an
erratic nature.
