Governor Smith Appoints a Senator to
Fill Vacancy.
Butte, Mont, May Ex-Governor
Smith today sent dispatches from here
to Senator W. A. Clark, Senator Chand-
ler, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, and Senator
Frye, president of the senate, saying he
had disregarded and revoked the action
of Observation-Disclosures Spriggs in nam
ing Mr.. Clark to succeed to the vacancy
caused by his own resignation, and
saying he had named Martin Maginnis,
of Helena, to fill the vacancy. The
governor gives as his reasons his opinion
that the appointment of Mr.. Clark by
the ieutenant-governor was tainted by
collusion and fraud. The dispatches
are practically the same, that to Mr.
Clark reading:
81 have this day disregarded and re-
voked your appointment as United
States senator, made by Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs on the 18th inst, as
being tainted with collusion and fraud,
and have this day appointed Hon.
Martin Maginnis United States senator
to fill the vacancy caused by your resig-
nation.''
Those to Frye and Chandler are of
the same tenor. notifying them of his
action. The governor also sent q
formal protest to Chandler, detailing
his reasons. He has also issued an
open letter to the people of the state,
denying he had any knowledge of the
contemplated step when he Loft Mon
tana for California. He says he went
to California at the request of Thomas
r. Kinds to look into the title of some
mining property in which Miles Finlen
was interested. He owed Finlen
81, 900, and thought by going he might
earn fee that would be applied on the
Indebtedness. 81 shall prove by my
conduct in the FUTURE" he concludes,
'tthat was not guilty of any wrong
doing or any idea of wrong"
Miles Finlen is one of the Democrats
in the legislature who voted against
Clark. Martin Maginnis was delegate
in congress for the territory, and, with
Clark, a Democratic contestant for sem
atorial honors when Montana became q
