 ANNOUNCED IN POWERFUL SPEECH
SENATOR CLARK APPOINTED
 TO FILL THE VACANT SEAT

Helena, Mont, May 15.-Acting Governor Spriggs tonight appointed ". A. Clark United States senator, to serve until the next legislature shall elect his successor. Senator Clarks resignation was filed early in the day, and tonight he was appointed by Acting Governor Spriggs to succeed himself.
 Governor Spriggs has all along been friend of Senator Clark during his candi- dacy for the senatorship.
 Governor Smith, a partisan of the Daily people, left the state two weeks ago for California to attend to some mining cases in which he is retained as attorney. At that time there was no thought of Senator Clark resigning. and his enemies were con- fident he would be unseated. The resigna- ton filed today came as a surprise to the people of the state, who had no inkling of the coup prepared
 Governor Spriggs was beseiged all day by individuals and by delegations friendly and hostile to MT. Clark.

HIS POLITICAL HISTORY.

BY Associated Press.
Marcus Daily was born in Ireland in
1872. He came to the United States
early in life, and since 1876 had been
a citizen of Montana. He became gen.
eral: manager of the Alice silver mine,
and came into control of the Anaconda
copper mine. At the time Of his death
he was president of the Amalgamated
Copper company. In politics he was
democrat. The differences between Mr..
Daily and w. A. Clark have attracted
much attention. The trouble started
years ago over some water rights near
Butte, which Daily wanted and which
Clark had bought, forcing the other to
pay a very high figure. Dalys oppor-
tunity for revenge came in 1883, when
Clark was the democratic nominee for
delegate to congress. With his i'm
mense influence at Anaconda, Daily was
able to throw a heavy vote to Carter,
Clark's republican rival, which had pre-
viously been cast for the democratic
party.
Montana became a state in 1889. At
the first state election Mr.. Clark was
tn: democratic nominee for representa-
tive in congress and j. X. Toole for
governor The latter was elected, but
Clark was defeated, supposedly owing
to Daily influences. Clark was then put
forward for the United States senate.
After a bitter contest the legislature
was organized by both parties, each
claiming to be legal. The republicans
named Thomas c. Powers and w. F.
Sanders for their senator's, while the
democrats put up Mr.. Clark and Major
Martin Maginniss. The republicans
We're seated. Daly's influence defeated
Clark in a second contest in 1888 In
that legislature the democrats had 35
votes, the populists and the repub
licans SO. The DAILY democrats, num-
bering 9. voted solidly for ex-Congress-
man w. w. Dickson, and there was a
deadlock for the entire session of sixty
days. kilograms from men like Calvin
S. Brice and w. H. Whitney and others
equally high in their party We're sent to
Daily to withdraw his opposition, but he
ignored the demand and the fight con-
tinued
A VICTORY FOR CLARK.
The next fight between Daily and Clark
was on the location of the state capital.
Helena, Missoula, Bozeman and Anacon-
da We're IN the fight. DAILY advocated the
last named place. Clark at first favored
Butte, but finally changed to Helena and
that city was chose The senatorship
again became the bone of contention be-
tween the mil ionaires last January and
Clark was elected. DAILY had the vail
dity of the election contested on the
ground of bribery when Clark presented
his credentials to tue United States SEN
ate. The contest resulted in the senate
voting that there had been no election
in the Montana legislature. This year
Clark made fight for the members of
the legisla. .ure in his interest and won
and his return to the senate is assured,
