their faces were a complete betrayal
They have not even dared to protest
their innocence: their case is wholly
in Clark's hands; their one forlorn hope
is this morning that, having pushed

honesty.

state a rotten borough, he engaged in
an enterprise that will never prove sue
cessful.
A perusal of the independents la
bored columns In regard to it's sena-
torial model fails to reveal any quail
ifications possessed by Mr.. Clark for
the office of senator, save his dollars.
Mr.. Clark has plenty of money, if that
is to be considered a sufficient qualifi-
cation for the position, but there are
hundreds of good democrats in the state
who possess more brains if not SO many
dollars, and why should not one of
them be selected? Mr.. Clark has done
more to injure the democratic party
than any other man in the state. Had
he succeeded in his efforts to defeat
the democratic ticket in Silver Bow,
Deer Lodge, Ravalli and Missoula
have been elected. Mr.. Clark opposed
the democratic ticket in all the west
side counties, and by what right then
can he claim a reward? The Butte
Miner maintains that Mr.. Clark had
reason for opposing the democratic
ticket in Silver Bow county, but it
gives no reasons for Mr.. Clark's oppo-
sition to the democratic ticket in 9TH
err west side counties. Let us have a
man for senator who has pulled true
for the democratic ticket, no matter
whether there was anything in it for
him or not. Mr. Clark has never been
a good democrat and he has been get
ting worse. His political party is Clark
for the senate and nothing else.
The Independent would have done
better had it delayed the selection of
its model until the model has pursed
itself of bribery charges. 1t cannot
help the name or the fame of the state
of Montana to send to the United
States senate a representative whose
garments reek with corruption and
whose only distinction as senator
among the great men of the land would
be that he paid more for his seat than
was ever paid for a seat in the senate
before.

Selecting Its Model.

IN its editorial printed yesterday in
regard to w. A. Clark, the Helena
Independent says that his life
shows accomplishments by one man
that will appear appalling to the av-
erase reader" True very appalling.
What could be more appalling than the
wholesale attempt to buy the legislat-
ure of the state of Montana at the rate
of $4,000 and $4,000 per vote according
to the number of scruples a man has?
1t is indeed an appalling endeavor and
perhaps never has there been a parallel
in the history of the United States.
In selecting its model for senator the
Independent also says that Mr.. Clark
engages in no enterprise without first
perfecting himself in all its details and
attaining a complete mastery of the
subject That may have been true of
Mr.. Clark, but when he engaged in
the enterprise of trying to buy the state

Pretty Cheap, After All.

HEN you come to compare
w mems honor with pictures the
price of honor in Helena is not
SO big after all. w. A. Clark paid
$4,000 for painting, Selecting the
Model year or so ago. At the going
price he could have bought six or eight
members of the Montana legislature
for what that painting cost him.
Infamy is certainly pretty cheap. Mr.
Clark placed the price of a good mans
honor at $4,000, but bartered for SIS, 900
when he thought he could get a man
for that price, and declared that he
would not pay more than $4,000 for re-
publican votes. Mr.. Clark considers the
painting which he won atSauction over
George Gould as of more worth than
six or eight members of the legislature
And perhaps he is right. The going
price for honor is pretty cheap.

Some Inconsistencies.
~ HE various newspapers which
are condoning Clark's crime

~ HE various newspapers which
are condoning, Clark's crime
ought to agree on some plan of
defense, or rather, on some uniform
plan of attack on Senator Whiteside.
Sometimes the papers refer to White
side as an informer, a sneak and a
Judas. Then in the next breath they
call him liar and maintain that his
story is made up out of whole cloth.
Now. surely one or the other of
these positions in regard to Whiteside
is untenable. To be an informer Sen
ator Whiteside must have given some
information, and, therefore, he could
not at the same time be a liar. He
could not have betrayed Clark if his
story. is all a lie, and SO he cannot
be called Judas and a liar at the
same time. On the other hand, if he
is really a liar and if his story is false,
he cannot be properly styled an in
former. Yet for several days there
has been noticed the glazing inconsist-
ency of Whiteside being termed an
informer and a liar on the same ed
itorial page, and even in the same COL
umn both of the Helena Independent,
and it's echo, the Butte Miner.
Lately there has been some weak.
ness apparent in the cry of liar and
the more usual term of designation
in regard to Whiteside has been I'm
former. sneak and Judas" Assuming
for an instant that Whiteside told the
truth about receiving bride money
from the Clark people it would be Gu
rious to have the real views of the In
dependent as to whether he did right
or not. Does the Independent consider
it right or wrong for a candidate to
pay members of the legislature to vote
for him for United States senator? If
a millionaire is to be condoned in the
crime of bribing members of the leg
islature to vote for him, why should
he not be condoned likewise if he pur-.
chases a judge or a jury to render
decision or a verdict in his favor in
some important case? If one is right
why is not the other right?
1t is pretty well understood that evil
dence could not be made strong enough
to induce the Independent to express
belief that Mr.. Clark is guilty, and
if Mr.. Clark should confess his guilt
the independent would insist that
Clark was bought up by the Daily
crowd to make the confession. There
is no crime Mr.. Clark could commit
that the Independent would rot con-

The second selection of this charac-
ter made by the New York republicans
is Chauncey M Depew-he was selected
senator last week, as the successor of
MI Murphy. this making complete the
restorat ton of New York republicanism
in the federal senate Mr.. Depew never
was accused of being a practical poll
tician. He has always flattered him
self that he is one but in this he has
labored all these years under strange
delusion. He has been useful in poll
tics: it was always matter of cardinal
account to the New York republicans
to keep the New York Central railroad
in line. Depew was the attorney for
the elder vanderbilts: later on, merely
in an ornamental way and for deco
rative purposes, he was made president
of the Vanderbilt roadside was not
and he is not practical railroad man.
In the selection of cabinet officers, the
nomination Of governors or the APP
pointment of ambassadors, Mr.. De-
pews name has always been on the
lists, but nothing has come of it. When
Harrison was nominated for his first
term. Depew's name was supported by
the New York delegation, as its presi-
dental choice, but no section of the
country took these New Workers seri-
ously at that time. Mr.. Depews repu-
tation is in fact founded on his ability
as post-prandial orator. AS BAN
quet speaker he was a glitterng sue
cess. In that line, however, he has had
his run-it was long one.
Those who anticipate bubbling talks
from Mr.. Depew in the senate will be
disappointed; it is a reasonably safe
prediction that he will not shine in
the senate, either as an orator. poll
tician, or as an Industrious worker in
committees. He will simply 'be

Some Men They Don't Like.

n CCORDING to the leased press
I of w. A. Clark every man who
! won't take bride has a cop
per collar on him, and every man who
persists in denouncng bribery and in
UNFOLDING the honor and purity of the
state belongs to the DAILY faction. That
is the only construction that can be
placed on some of the editorials which
are appearing now in the Independent,
Miner and Herald
Take Congressman-elect Campbell for
example. In the recent campaign
the Independent and the Miner pre-
tended at least to support Mr.. Camp
bells candidacy and they told the peo-
pie of Montana that he was a good
man, that he was well worthy of their
support, that if elected he would up
hold the honor and dignity of the state
and would show no mercy to evil doors
and lawmakers, whether they be poor
men or millonaires.
But Mr.. Campbell is now fallen into
disrepute with these papers which con-
done crime when the criminal is a mil
lionaire. Mr.. Campbell assisted in the
exposure of crime and the criminals
don't like it.
Then there is Senator Clark of Mad
ison county. 1t was just before Christ
mas that the Butte Miner had a most
fiattering notice of the senator who
was paying Butte a visit at the time
characterizing him as one of the ablest
members of the new legislature and one
of the most upright and trustworthy
men in Madison county. It's song is
different now.
Then there is Senator Whiteside Just
before the legislative session opened
w. A. Clark and Senator Carter con-
versed in the Montana club at Helena.
Mr.. Clark was rehearsing his chances
of election and named Senator White
side among his men.
81 think Whiteside is a DAILY man"
said Carter.
oh, no." replied Clark. "The DAILY
people think they have him, but he is
the most valuable worker we have"
See what the Clark press is saying of
Whiteside now
Then there is Attorney General No
Ian. The legislature requested that
Mr. Nolan, as the highest legal officer
of the state, assist in presenting the
bribery cases to the grand jury. So the
Miner turns loose yesterday in a screed
of abuse to show why Mr. Nolan should
not assist in this work. Between the
lines it is easy to read the Miners real
meaning. Mr.. Nolan is too honest for
the Miner to be willing to take chances
on him.
And so it is all the way through.
Any man who won't take a bride is de-
clared to have a copper collar on And
any man who will not condone bribery
and who takes any part in the I'M
masking of corruption and in the Up-
holding of the states good name must
expect his share of abuse from the
Clark press and to be called a ''Daly
man."

Depew in the Senate.

rW1cE within recent times the
republicans of New York have
gone outside the lines of active
politicians in electing a member of the
FEDERAL senate. and in both instances
they have selected men who We're past
their prime. Such men as Morgan and
Seward and Conkling and Fenton and
Miller, as we'll as the lesser senatorial
lights in New York, We're essentially
politicians. A few years ago for
change, the New York republicans
elected William M Evarts. He was
a man of whom republicanism every
where was proud, he took an active in
terest in the welfare of his party, he
was occasionally campaign orator
and one of the most brilliant ones in
all the country-but, above all else,
Mr.. Evarts was a lawyer he was recog-
nized as one of the most distinguished
jurists in the United States. He was
not politician.
A dozen odd years ago, the New York
republicans took up Mr.. Evarts for
senator-the prediction was that he
would outshine them all. 1t was, in
deed, reasonable presumption at the
time that he was easily a match for
| men like Edmunds in all matters re-
lating to constitutional law and that
he could outrank any man of the Ed
munds class in oratory and forensic
display. 1t turned out that Mr.. Evarts
was failure in the senate. Soon after
he began his term, there was a popu-

Act as II Unit.

From the Billings Gazette
AT this writing, Thursday evening,
the little band of republicans in the
legislature at Helena have stuck to
their party and acted as a unit; they
have had no part in the dsgraceful
democratic scenes enacted and the faint
OF bribery attaches to no one of them.
They selected the logical candidate as
their caucus nominee in the Hon. II. C.
Marshall of Missoula. and after voting
for him solidly on Tuesday and We'd
nesdav to-day transferred their sup
pert to ex-senator w. F. Sanders, the
old war horse of Montana republican,
ism. 1t was a graceful compliment
to extend to that doughty warrior: he
is republican of republicans and no
senatorial contestiih this state would
be complete without, honors being be-
slowed upon him by his party.
And there are other members of the
party who may thus be honored with
equal propriety, but whatever the re-
publican members do during this con-
test, the Gazette hopes they will con-
tinue to act as a unit This newspaper
does not believe that a single republic
can will yield to the solicitations of
the democratic bride givers; the lesson
taught six years ago is too fresh in the
memory of the people for republican
member to even contemplate such sac-
ton, The buying and selling of votes,

ifest no disposition to descend to such
damnable infamy they should stick to-
sether do that which they deem best
fer the great state of Montana and

republicans to pursue is to stick to-
gether to the end; they cannot afford
to do otherwise 5s@E~'

at being represented by at least enc
man who is loyal to his constituents
and to the principles of the platform
upon which he was elected If it were
left to him whether or not Montana
should be represented in the senate

dict that the right course would pre-
