His vitality and strength had been
| great, but 1t was said that. among
| other things. smelling fumes of arse
ME ut the smelters helped to weaken
| his heart.
Mr.. DAILY was born in Ireland in
| 1912, but had lived in Montana since
1876. He was a practical miner and
| became general manager of the Alice
| mine. but was transferred to the Ana
eonda. He was 4 member of the Mon
| tana constitutional convention in 1884
| 1t was in 1880 that Marcus DAILY sold
his interest," in the Alice mine. and
with William A. Clark, purchased n
| large tract Of land, on which is now
| located the Anaconda copper proper
| ties. Clark was even then a wealthy
man. and while DAILY stayed at home
| TO plan great improvements and to
| manage the property. Clark went to
| Paris on pleasure bent He returned
| to Montana to find that DAILY had
gone far ahead with the work of inn
provement without consulting him.
Clark was dissatisfied. and demanded
that DAILY either buy or sell DAILY
was embarrassed somewhat financial
", but having confidence in the Ana
| conda he succeeded in raising the sum
demanded by Clark and took over his
interest. Since. then he has taken 500
o0o00 out of the Anaconda mine
After this unsuccessful attempt to
crush DAILY, Clark found that no mat
| ter what he turned his hand to he had
resourceful enemy to encounter. If
| Clark was in favor of a thing, DAILY
| was against IT, Clark started a daily
paper in Butte City: DAILY put in a
plant in Anaconda.
Clark was nominated for delegate in
| been admitted to statehood In DAYS
stronghold Clark was literally cut off
| the ticket and his Republican opponent
was easily successful
When Montana became a STATE, Il
dual legislature was organized. Clark
and Martin Maginnis were sent to the
United States senate by the Demo-
cratic branch; T. G.. Powers and w
| IT. Sanders by the Republicans DAILY
had part in having the latter two
| seated.
| Again in 1898. when the coveted
seat In the senate seemed within the
grasp of Clark, the relentless figure of
Marcus DAILY loomed mp, and the prize
| was once more Snatehed from the out
stretched hand
Then came the battle for state CAPT
tai. The cities that coveted the prize
We're Helena. Butte City. Missoula.
| Bozeman and Anaconda. It was sup
posed that Helena and Butte would
fight it out. Clark lives in Butte and
spent his cash literally for his home
/ town When the votes were counted
Helena led and Anaconda was sec
ond. Then Clark obtained revenge by
throwing his strength to Helena, which
finally won.
Then came the third fight for the
senatorship. DAILY was also candi-
date. Clark won. DAILY carried the
contest to Washington and Clark was
unseated after a sensational hearing
that lasted practically all of the last
session When before the senate as
a witness Marcus DAILY acknowledged
! that he had contributed $4,000 to help
defeat Clark. "But," he said, II have
not the slightest personal feeling
against Mr.. Clark, or the members Of
his family, and any statement of that
kind is villainous lie."
DAILY owned the $4,000 colt Ham
burg. Tammany. Montana. Senator
Grady, Gwendoline. Ogden and other
famous winners. He tried to buy the
winner of the derby and Ascot races
