Vigorous Terms About the appoint.
ment of Senator Clark.

Ogden, Utah, May 17.-Gov. Robert
B. Smith, of Montana, was in Ogden
yesterday, arriving from the coast en-
route to Helena. Relative to the APP
pointment of Senator Clark to the
United States senate by Lieut.. Gov,
spriggs he spoke in very vigorous
terms of what he termed "contempti-
BILE trickery." He said
This man Clark has been convicted
by the United States senate of per-
jury, bribery and fraud, and it is an
insult to the senate to send him back
to that body. 1t is disgrace, shame
and humiliation upon the people of
Montana, and the senate should act
upon the resolutions and show him
that they do not want him there, us
he can take the hint in no other way"
