The testimony before the Senate
Committee of Privileges and Elec-
tions in the contest case Of Senator
Clark reveals a rotten state OF az
fairs in Montana politics. Two un-
Sprincipled multi-millionaires, Clark
and Daily, both democrats. have
waged war on each other, and divid-
ed the state politically into two
powerful factions, that have nearly
obliterated other party lines. When
Clark's ambition became fixed on a
seat in the US. Senate, Daily sold
mot with my consent Neither
side had any scruples about using
money, and used it freely to accom-
plish it's ends. Thirty 81 900 bills
were exhibited before the Senate
committee as evidence, alleged to
have been paid for the votes Of four
members Of the legislature Such
evidence, unless disproved, cannot
fail to close the doors Of the senate
against Clark. If senator's were
elected by popular vote, there would
be less chance, we believe, for unscru-
Ipulous rich men to buy their way in
to the senate, and thus demoralize
the politics OF a whole state.
