Claims That Alleged Fraud vitiates
the Appointment Of Clark.
Chicago, May ia special to the
Times Herald from Helena. Mont,
says: When the United States senate
committee on privileges and elections
meets to-day it will have to face an
other complication in the Clark sena-
torial case. Gov. Sn it'll arrived in
Butte yesterday afternoon and wired
Attorney General Nolan to meet him
in that city. The governor desired to
consult the attorney general as to the
form in which he will put a protest
that he will wire to the senate to-day
against the acceptance Of the creden-
tials of Mr.. Clark on the appointment
of Lieut.. Gov. Spriggs Gov. Smith
will base his protest on the ground
that the appointment is vitiated be-
cause Of fraud. The governor will
hold that owing to the alleged froudu-
lent practices followed In the appoint.
Eent of Mr.. Clark that appointment
is void. and he himself will make an
appointment to fill the vacancy from
Montana. While it is not positively
known whom the governor will ap-.
point, it is believed that Martin Ma
ginnis, who represented Montana in
congress In the early Gays of the terri
tory will be chosen. He is not allied
with either Democratic faction and
has always been strong party man.
