Clark's Master Move.

The latest move in the celebrated
Montana senatorial case is a halr-
litter. 1t surely looks as though
Senator Clark now had his turn TO
laugh and to ask his enemies what
they propose to do about it. 1t was
shrewd move, and came as one Oh 'he
greatest political surprises in recent
yaars On the verge of being expelled
from the body to which he was elected
bv a Legislature which he bought ana
Maid for, Mr.. Clark resigns with many
tears and then receives a telegram
from the lieutenant governor of Mon
tana, acting in the absence from the
state of the governor, who is himself
hostile to Clark, appointing him to fill
the vacancy caused by his own resig-
nation. 1t was carefully arranged
conspiracy, Of course, a shrewd bit of
political strategem seldom equalled,
but will the Senate now be able to rid
itself of the incubus of this million
aire corruptionist?
After carefully investigating the
charges of wholesale bribery connected
with Mr.. Clark's election, the sena-
.torial committee presented a unani-
nous report in favor of expelling him.
This meant Mr.. Clark's departure in
disgrace from Washington. but the
resolutions of the committee necessarily
lapsed with the resignation of the man
against whom they were aimed. Now
that he has been re-appointed by the
lieutenant governor of Montana, he
comes to the Senate with a new lease
of life, and what can the Senate do
about it? There is said to be no
doubt, under the constitution of Mon
tana. that the lieutenant governor
had full power to make the appoint
ment 1t may be that the governor
was lured from the state, and the
lieutenant governor paid for his SER
vices in making the appointment.
Certain it is that Mr.. Clark is qui
capable of such methods, and the ways
Of Montana politics are dark and mys-
ferrous. But what can the Senate do
about it? 1t means another long fight
at the best, and the result much in
doubt, if the Senate attempts to sus-
tain its dignity and self respect to rid
ding itself of the copper-mine states
man. No doubt his colleagues will
make it party fight and resort to
their usual tilibustering tactics.
The appointment of senators by
governors has caused no end Cf trouble
but this case presents Il different
problem from those involved in the
Oregon or Pennsylvania cases. The
next move in the game will be awaited
with much interest. In the meantime
Mr. Clark will be readily excused if he
is heard to chuckle to himself
