cur to you that the price Of labor must
fall?'
Mr.. Coakley, in speaking of the eight
hour law, said that the republican party
agreed to ave a law passed without re-
gard to the class of labor, and advised
his hearers not to vote for that delusive
snare which provided that the legisla-
ture would fix the price of labor, for no
legislature IN the land had the power to
do that. If it did then a law might be
passed which provided wages at the rate
of $40 per day or IS per or $3.50 per day,
but this could be made to work both
ways for what would be sauce for the
goose would be sauce for the gander. 1t
was possible that the mar who might be
instrumental in having the law passed
might give up politics and return to bust
ness and have a law passed that would
provide for compensation at the rate of
81 per day.
They say that there have been legis-
latures in Montana that have been
bought but of this I do not know. 1 am
in the same position that Mr.. Too!e, the
democratic candidate for governor is. He
says that he does not know whether
there has been bribery and corruption or
not. Neither do 1. MIR. Toole has been
in a position to know better than l
W Iletner the legislature mas Deen OuSnC
or not. Mr.. Clark who, according to Mr..
Heinze, has control of the fusion party
got from the senate a certificate that
purported to be good for one seat in the
senate. I understand that the door
keeper refused to pass him IN the GER
tifcate. 1 do not know how Mr.. Clark
got that certificate but it is COMMON re-
pert that he could do almost anything
with that legislature and l wonder why
he did not have them pass an eight hour
law!
1T would be an evil day when the
working men of this state would have
to depend upon the whim of Mr.. Clark
or Mr.. Daily for the number Of hours they
would work each day. l do not like to
see the working men deluded by Mr..
Heinze, that brilliant young man who
told them that he was their champion
against the monopolies.'
Mr.. Coakley dwelt at length upon the
question of expansion, ~reciting in inter
esting detail the conditions in the Philip
pines. The Malay savages for whom
Bryan appeared as the champion, were
entitled to no more consideration at the
hands of the American people than the
savages who infested this continent
when it was first invaded by the white
people.
Mr.. Coakley was >%applauded to the
echo when he had concluded his speech,
and the crowd gave three hearty cheers
for Mckinley and the republican ticket.

I leaden tread, it will come. I say to the
young voters of the state that corruption,
rascality, thievery and debauchery never
has paid and never will pay. A person
who may not be respectable and enjoy
the esteem of his fellow men nay pur-
chase and wear the habilimentS of
responsibility, but if he takes all, the
wealth from these misery hills, all he
can purchase Is the contempt of all good
men. When you go to the polls on Nov.
6 you will take with you all the rights
and responsibilities of American citizen-
ship, and you will pay the penalty or
reap the reward according to your ballot.
Cast your vote for the good name of
Montana. Cast your vote for continued
prosperity, and l promise that there are
surprises in store for you during the text
four years that will be greater thar any
thing you have known in the past"
Mr.. Morrin was loudly applauded when
he concluded, and then Chairman
Roberts introduced T. w Coakley of
Boston as the next speaker. Mr.. Coax
ley's reputation had preceded him and
he was enthusiastically received as he
mounted the platform.
Mr.. Coakley said that his father had
told him that the democratic party a
al! the deviltry shot out OF it during the
wal of the secession and he had believed
IT. but he had found that the party was
false to the ideals and principles of the
great statesman who had founded the
great party. He spoke of the folly of
Bryan's idea of getting the consent of
the governed, saying that there were
$4,000, 600 women in 'the United States
who We're better qualified to exercise the
prerogatives of American citizenship
h the Malay savage, A~guinaldo. Bry-
an, he said, had no sympathy for the
tears for the oppressed Aguinaldo.
MY democratic friends" said the
speaker, "are you not ashamed Of the
democratic party for the fight that it is
making against the American fag?'
The democratic party" continued Mr..
Coakley, "views with alarm the great
aggregation of capital in the hands of a
few. In Montana they have Daily, Clark
and Heinze n they are all democrats
now. You nave three great democratic
n~illionaires in the state of Montana and
the democratic party in convention as
sembled viewed with alarm the great ag-
sregatiOn of wealth in the hands of a
few. I suppose hat they want to dis
tribute the wealth. The combination of
capital is as legitimate as the combina-
ton of labor. You have formed a legiti-
mate combination to maintain wages but
it is just the same as the combination OF
capital to keep up the price of copper II
the price of copper falls does it not oc.

Petition for the Appointment Of a
Guardian Of the Estate Of

When Judge Clancy convened his court
this morning he took a birds-eye view
of the sea of humanity before him and
announced that the first business he
would perform wouldS be that of making
new citizens. There were a number of
persons, he said, who desired to register
and vote and they could not dc, either un-
less they secured their papers today.
Two other matters had been set for
hearing, one at 9 o'clock and II an
hour later. The former was the man.
damus proceeding in the case of the state
ex rel jeremiah Mccarthy against John
E.. Moran, the county clerk and recorder,
an action having as it's object the issu-
ance of a peremptory writ of mandate to
compel the respondent to place the name
of Mr.. Mccarthy on the official ballot of
Silver Bow county as an Independent
candidate for sheriff. The judge said he
would continue it until Monday, but the
attorney for Mccarthy told him this
would be the last day, as the law speci-
fed that the ballot must be printed at
least ten days before election.
II understand that the supreme court
has something of a similar nature to dis
pose of on Monday and it would hard
ly postpone them until that time unless
it was all right" said. the judge. But
to max sure of it l will continue the
hearing until 6 o'clock this evening n
in the meantime you car telephone to the
attorney general and get an opinion
about it,"
Mccarthy was present in person and
was lanked by a number of witnesses to
prove his side of the contention.

brought by Hillary Harris against Wild

the agent to register him. 1t was con-
