was the last time and the time before.
Altogether the prospect before the
BOodler is not pleasant one for
him to contemplate. A man who has
earned the reputation of buying sup
port cannot expect to get it for moth
ing. For the most part, friendship
for Clark is measured by the amount
he is willing to pay for it, and he has
put up pretty literally heretofore.
The one hopeful feature of the leg
islative situation is that the boodlng
practice which has made Clark no.
teiOus the world over, will this time
be made SO expensive that even Clark
will balk.

PREPARING THE EXCUSE,

The Cuban constitutional conven-
ton is in session these days and
from all accounts the delegates are
rather contentious aggregation.
Charges and counter charges of cor
ruption are being banded back and
forth, and it freely predicted by some
of the leading republican newspapers
of the eastern states that no satisfac-
tory outcome can be anticipated
from the proceedings of the conven-
ton. Doubtless the wish is father
to the thought with those newspapers
which derive their inspiration from
sources not at all friendly to the idea
of Cuban independence. These same
newspapers assert that it is probable
that with the failure of the conyen-
ton to agree upon an organic law
there will be petition for annexa-
ton to the United States presented
to the proper authorities.
It may be suspected that influences
not wholly Cuban are at work in the
convention in support of the annexa.

1t is not in every part of Montana
where the rhyming and the Ginning
of the bells can be heard even after
heavy fall of snow. This section
of the state is blessed in that partic-
ular. Down in the eastern end the
snow is dreaded as a danger to the
stock interests, and it seldom hap
pens that the wind permits the beau
tiful to cover the ground long enough
for the enjoyment of sleigh ride.
Here it is different. There are NJ
stock interests to endanger and the
snow is looked upon as a blessing By
everybody-the farmer, the merchant,
the lumberman, the fruitgrower AMI
those who simply enjoy it as a
change 1t is beneficent provision
of nature to thus SO nicely arrange the
conditions to the needs of the locality
The merry sleigh bells have given
an added zest to life in Kalispell the
past few days, albeit the air has benn
a bit sharp, for pleasure riding.

who will see the matter in the same

Clark was vehement in protesting
during the campaign that he was not
seeking vindication, and none of the
legislators elected can be considered
as unaer any moral obligation to sup

every consideration of good morals

THE CASE OF WILLIAM A, CLARK,

From the Chicago Times-Herald:
Clark of Montana is going to make
another effort to obtain seat in the
United States senate. AS far as the
legislature of Montana is concerned
Clark's case is already won. A ma
jority of the members of that body
are creatures of Clark's choosing, AMI
they will undoubtedly give him a set
of credentials to carry to Washing
ton.
But when he reaches the national
capital the Montana millionaire nav
find himself in trouble. 1t may be do
cided by majority of the senators
that disqualification on account of
bribery does not end with resignation
obviously rendered in order to keep
evidence of guilt from appearing upo1
the records. If Clark was unfit to
have seat in the senate year ago
is he qualified now since he has been
spending more money to secure the
object of mis- ambition?
1t is to be hoped that there still
lives in the hearts of majority of
the men who cOmpOse orr upner
house of congress an unwillingness to
permit the essence of political de
bauchery to sit among them brazen
and triumphant. Clark should noe he
permitted to get even the ends of his
f1aring whiskers pushed between the
swinging doors that lead to the sen,
ate chamber.
When this mans case was consid.
cred before he was pitied. Men who
saw him sitting in the senate cham
Der as one crushed and hopeless were
moved to sympathize with him. They
fancied that, after all, he might b.
more ignorant than wicked. Since
then, however, he has done so much
to prove that he is totally unworthy
either of sympathy or of pity that a
humble demeanor, cringing attitude
should avail him nothing.

WAS WHITEsIDE DEFEATED?

The Whitehall Zephyr asserts with
all the confidence of a Clark organ
earning it's share of the ''vindication'
fund, that 'Whiteside went down to
defeat in Flathead county, Facts
are not a necessary working basis for
a Clark newspaper of which the
Zephyr is distinguished represen-
tative, and the fact that Whiteside
was not candidate for any Office in
this county at the late election
doesn't cut any figure when the Clark
organs have purpose to subserve,
in announcing his defeat. But while
Mr.. Whiteside was not candidate,
he did take an active interest in
the campaign, and was the chair
man of the Independent democratic
county committee. He worked to
such good purpose that the entire
Independent democratic county ticket
was elected with the exception of
coroner and administrator. The
only victory the Clarkites scored in
this county was the election of one
candidate for representative in the
legislature, out of three. That may
look like defeat for Whiteside to
the Zephyr, but the people up this
way don't see it in that light.
And there is one thing of which
the Zephyr and the rest of the Clark
organs in Montana ma rest assured,
and it is that while Fred Whiteside
enjoys the enmity of few local poll.
ticians who are more or less welded
to the Clark barrel, he also enjoys
the confidence and respect of big
majority of his fellow citizens of
Flathead county. During the cam
paign just past, the people turned out
to hear Mr.. Whiteside as they turned
out for no other speaker In Kalis-
pell, in Columbia Falls, in Libby and
especially in the country precincts,
Mr.. Whiteside had audiences that
packed the building in every instance
and he was given the most respectful
and courteous attention.
No man of independence and force
of character is without enemies in
his own community, and it would be as
tonishing if the utilization and abuse
of Mr.. Whiteside by the bribery brig
ade did not have some effect even
here, but it is the undeniable truth
that there is no man in this county to-
day who has a larger circle of warm,
personal friends. or who enjoys the
confidence and esteem of the mass
of his fellow citizens any more than
does the Hon. Fred Whiteside.

"MARCUS DAILY" COUNTY,
Proposed to Name County In Honor
of the Memory Of Mr.. DaIy.

Proposed to Name County In Honor
of the Memory Of Mr.. Daily.
The words Of Ex-Governor Richards
spoken in a conversation with Stand
ard reporters, may well be repeated:
why not name a county in Montana
in honor of Mr.. Daily? There is every
reason to believe that Deer Lodge
county will be divided ~ the next leg
islature. II will be remembered that
at the last session some friends of
the city of Deer Lodge sought to di.
vide the county and christen the new
creation Powell county. The plan
failed of naturalization. Now, why
not, if the county shall be divided,
let the Deer Lodge city end of the
county retain the old name and give
to the Anaconda end the name of
Daily or Marcus Daly?"
Governor Richard said that he hal
spoken to some friends about this
proposition, and every one seemed to
think that it would be eminently fit
ting. There are but few coun-
ties IN Montana's twenty-four that
bear the nam of Montanans.
BrOadwater and Fergus both did
much to develop the resources of
the state Ravalli is the name of
one of the Jesuit priests who came
here years ago to spread the gospel
among the savage Indians who then
dominated the hills and valleys; JET
ferson and Madison were United
States presidents, and Choteau was
an explorer as were Lewis ana
Clarke; Custer was the brave soldier
who sacrificed his life to the Indians
and Dawson and Gallatin were men Of
prominence in the day of the chris
tening of these counties. Meagher
was acting governor Of Montana near
ly 40 years ago. BrOadwater cOun-
ty was named in honor of one of the
most prominent progressive men in
Montana. He was indeed the frienl
OF Montana. Arriving in Montana in
the early sixties, he began to lay tn
foundation of a fortune which he did
not hold in the clutches of a grasp
ing iron hand. He built railroads
canals, equipped early day freighting
outfits over the Draries and on tne
Missouri river built large business
houses and headed financial enter
prises. They named a county Broad
water as soon after he died as pos
sible.
James Fergus settled with his fam
lily in Prickly Pear valley 80 years
ago. Later he went up into a coun
try over which extended Choteau and
Meagher counties, raised large band |
OF sheep, went to the legislature, and |
one day a new county was created |
and named Fergus.

So far as can be judged from sur
face indications it looks as though
F. Augustus Heinze is likely to be
"trun down by the man he assisted
in "vindicating" at the late election
There cannot be any doubt but that
Heinze helped the "vindication" cam
paign very materially and after 1t
was all over he seemed to be far
more popular with the rank and file
of the "vindication" forces than
Clark himself According to all
precedent this is likely to prove his
undoing, if Clark can effect it. Clark
cannot abide seeing anyone more pop
ular than himself He must be the
patron" and the others the patron
lied Equality has no place in his
calculations. So in all probability
the recent "entente" between the
Clark-Heinze factions will be ser
ously strained before the senatorial
matter is settled

said At the factory that 1t has

probably much like that which draws
