| "Fourth--Our fourth proposition, that

| cured Is established by the evidence that

| elected upon a ticket which bound them
| TO vote for Mr. Conrad for United States

| and the further lack OF any satisfactory

Brief of the Defense.
The brief Of the defense. signed by Hon.
Charles ]. Faulkner and Mr.. Roger Fos-
ter. covers 232 pages and is divided into
discussion Of the facts and the law in the
case from Senator C1ark's standpoint
The document is throughout an arraiEn-
ment of the prosecution. II begins with
the assertion that IAN examination Of the
testimony Will confirm the most skeptical
in the belief that those who seek TO brand
a majority OF the representatives of n
sovereign state as dishonest and as
'brihe-takers' are Influenced by no lofty
purpose of remedying an evil. nor is 1t
entered upon from a desire to maintain
the integrity OF the membership OF the
senate OF the United States The facts
shown in this record fully Justify the as
sertion that those who originated this
prosecution were controlled only by sentt-
ments Of the bitterest personal and pollt-
zeal hostility"
Put IL All on DAILY.
II is then declared that no man who was
a candidate for the senate In opposition
to Mr., Clark has given encouragement or
countenance TO the contest: that fifty-two
OF the hfty-six newspa pers In the state
supported Mr. Clark and that the SEN
timent In the state OF Montana is so
universal for Mr.. Clark that the leading
spirit of the protestants whose wealth
has supported and whose prejudice has
animated this prosecution. has found II
necessary TO invest large sums of money
IN the purchase OF the press Of the state
and In other cases by the establishment
Of newspapers with the hope OF checking
and dividing the sentiment OF the people
OF Montana"
