The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-11-15


of Silver Bow and he hoped they
would always stand to gether in the
future He declared that he is the
official of all he people those who op-
posed him as well as of those who
supported him, and he would even
endeavor to show the Independent
democrats that they had made mis-
take and he hoped that four years
hence they would be fighting togeth-
er. He was willing to baptize them
and receive them back into the fold.
The development of Montana depends
on capital as we'll as labor and CAP
ital is entitled to as much protection
as labor, and no more. He wished
to say to Mr.. Hyams that investments
of capital would receive equal and
exact justice in this state so far as
he was concerned. Mr.. Higgins
said:
There lies now in the city of New
lork a citizen of Montana who has
done much for the development and
prosperity of this state. | have no
hight against him, and as he is strug-
Cling with that grim reaper Death,
a prayer goes up from my heart, and
| hope from the heart Of every
true citizen of Montana, that he
will come back to years of future
usefulness in this state"
Mr.. Higgins said he did not stand
Tor the vindication or condemnation
OF any man, but he thought there
was one citizen who is the god of the
masses and ought to receive his lust
reward.
There was loud calls for Heinze,
but he had not appeared, and Lieu
tenant Spriggs filled in the interval.
He had but fairly begun his address
when Clark entered the hall and
Spriggs gave way to him. Mr.. Clark
said he rendered homage to the peo-
pie for the great work they had done.
He was pleased to see that they
had come from all over the state
to attend the ratification and to have
hot time in the old town this night,
and he was going see that they got
it. The victory had exceeded their
widest dreams and fOndest expecta-
lions. He characterized the Ana
cOnda Standard as vile sheet, with
depraved editor. While he had not
been seeking a vindication, it had
come like a whirlwind. The goddess
OF liberty, he declared, has been re-
stored to her pedestal in this state.
The victory was not democratic, a
republican or any other political vic
tory but victory for the people.
lie could not get over his fondness
for unearthing imaginary conspira-
cies, and he declared that victory had
just been gained over the most for
mldable conspiracy ever formed in
this state. He thought the sun had
shone brighter today than it had for
shining brighter tonight than ever be-
fore because he state had been eman-
cipated. He declared that no pledge
OF the platform or the stump made
by the fusionists would be overlooked.
Eigh. hours would be provided for
the men who work in the smelters,
as well as in the copper and coal
mines. He hoped the dead past
would bury it's dead and let all press
on to make a great future for every
body
In concluding, he supposed that to-
night all would join in hearty hand
shake over the great victory and
would not overlook the drink that
cheers. There were more calls for
Heinze but he did not respond. J. M.
Kennedy of Anaconda spoke briefly,
aging he had come because he heard
that Goal Oil" Johnny Toole had not
been able to appear. He was prouder
than he had ever been before in his
life. He had made it possible for
man to live in Anaconda.
There were more calls for Mr.,
Heinze, and Mr.. O'Connell, of Helena
was introduced, speaking briefly. The
calls for Heinze then became tumult-
uOus.
81 would like very much to have
Mr.. Heinze speak," said Chairman
Casey, "but l cannot do the impossi-
BILE. Mr.. Heinze is not here.''
The meeting then ADJOURNED"
The fusion ratification meeting at
Sutton's theatre was presided over by
H. l.. Frank. A band of musicians
entertained the crowd for time and
at intervals number of boys in the
gallery added chorus of yells to the
| choruses ran like this:
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco,
spit, spit, spit.
