Bozeman, June g. 4
This evening the Clark faction of the
democratic party is jubilant over the
victory won at the primaries and the
prospect of sending a solid Clark dele
cation to the state convention at Butte.
The contest showed that the Clark fac
ton has Bozeman and the county of
Gallatdn SO solid that there is no dan
ger of the Daily forces getting in their
work in any direction. At least this is
the way it looks tonight. Every ward
in the city was carried by the Clark
faction. An especial effort was made to
defeat Representative John Walsh and
Senator Charles Hoffman, who were
candidates for delegateships, and the sig
nal failure of these efforts show how
firmly the friends of Senator Clark have
worked for the cause Of the men who
voted for him last winter. Both Walsh
and Hoffman were elected by good ma
~jorities n men Of the most pronounced
Clark proclivities received the highest
vote. The county has not been heard
from yet. but there is every reason to
believe that the Clark forces will lose
but little in the rural districts. The Daily
forces saved a few from the wreck, but
not more than Is per cent of the owen
ton will be opposed to Clark. ~.
A delightful surprise party was given
by Mrs. Turner Friday evening in honor
of the birthday of Colonel Turner. The.
pleasant event was given at the resi-
idence on Templar avenue and was kept
IAN entire secret from the colonel until
the guests began to arrive. The even
ing was spent playing various games.
At one table there was whist, at another
crokinole and others parlor croquet and
names. The progressions to the various
tables at which entirely different games
were played was the cause of a great
deal of fun. Before luncheon was serv-
ed the scores were counted and four Ia
dies were Ound 10 nave the same num-
Der Of figures on their cards, and two
gentlemen's cards were in the same con-
dftion. Upon shaving dice for the Ana
winner Mrs. John Walsh was the for
tunate one securing the beautiful cut
off the gentleman's prize. Part of the
evening was devoted to the discussion of
an elegant champagne supper n the
enjoyment of a number Of vocal and tn
~strumental selections from the guests.
iThomps0n'S orchestra was In attend
ance and greatly enhanced the pleasures
of the evening with either and violin Sc
lections.
