Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-10-08

Montana this year. 1t was conducted
honestly n made up by a delegation of
men who wan to see this great state re-
deemed from the boodling gangs that
have controlled itszpolitical affairs for the
past few years.
MIR. Porter spoke of the $50, 900 now in
the state treasury, which came there by
a member of the last legislature who
would not accept a bride. No one seems
to claim that money and the chances are
THAT no n Will for a long time to come.
The democrats generally are willing to
claim almost anything but here is a case
where they are divided, one faction says
1t is not theirs. the other faction says the
same thing, and states further that IL
doesn't want to know anything about 1t.
The republican party. says" Mr.. Por-
ter went on, that any party that pro-
duces this condition is Unfit to be trusted
with the state government.
Preceding his speech Mr.. Porter stated
that he had received word from Messrs.
Folsom and Saunders conveying their
deep regreat in not being able TO reach
Anaconda for the meeting but .ney re-
quested him to say hat they would be
here before the campaign closes.
The republican slee club rendered sew
eral selections which We're enthusiastic-
ally received. The club expects to attend
a good many meetings before election
day.

ON HAND
GRAND REPUBLICAN RALLY WAS
A SUCCESS.
a SPLENDID ADDRESS GIVEN.
Folsom and Sanders Could Not At
teud-Will Come Later and
Please the People.


The Margaret heater was jammea ~
last Saturday night, the occasion being
the opening rally of the campaign by
the republicans. Candidate for Governor
David E. Folsom was to have been one
of the speakers of the evening, but on
account of sickness was detained in Hell
ena. Senator Wilbur F. Sanders was to
have spoken also, but unfortunately the
Northern Pacific trains did not run on
time and he could get only as far as
Missoula. Hon. E. NJ. Hammond could
not reach here either in time for the
meeting, but Hon. 7. j. Porter, candl-
date for attorney general. was not so
unfortunate as his colleagues and he
arrived over the B. A. & P. from Butte
at I o'clock p. m.
While the announcement that Mr.. Fol-
som and the others could not lie here
was a great disappointment to the audi
ence, enthusiasm was not lacking, and
Mr.. Porter occupied the greater part of
the evening in making a telling speech,
which frequently brought the house
down in applause.
The meeting was called to order by
r. A. Errett, chairman of the county
central committee, who introduced T.
c. Davidson as chairman of the evening.
MIR. Errett was not down on the pro-
gram for a speech, but he was prevailed
upon to make one, and, after touching
OF some of the leading issues of the cam
paign, he paid a glowing tribute to the
Montana volunteers who participated in
the war in the Philippines, which
brought forth tunnultuous applause.
Mr.. Porter dwelt a considerable time in
discussing local issues. I'VE have a par
amount issue here in Montana" he said,
that comes up to the dignity of anything
presented in national politics. In my
travels over the state with Mr.. Folsom
] have found that the people are not di-
viding,o on national issues, for IN the last
three months there nave been some sin
gular doings in Montana. But if I meet
a.man who says he is a republican, !
know he is the representation of a party
that is a party. It took the steps that
made it a party in the convention that
met in Butte last May. I believe every
man should exercise his own Judgment in
political affairs, and not participate in
politics made expressly for him as has
peen the case with a great many within
the past few years. Every man ought
to belong to a political party honestly,
and turn out to primaries as every free
man ought to do. The evil of Montana
today is the packed and bossed primaries
know of a sheep herder down in thf
eastern part OF the state who has ar.
tended four primaries of three politiea
parties in the past few weeks ana whose
boss has received $40 a primary for y
The republicans are the only ones tha,
have held a real political convention II

AzE AFTER sHUI.TY.

The three-tailed democracy is stirred
up today over the action of John Shutty,
of Race Track, in his withdrawing from
the legislative tickle put up at Deer
Lodge last Tuesday. Prominent leaders
of that faction of democracy say MI.
Shutty does not speak the truth when he
says he was not consulted before his
was presented to the convention
which nominated him. They say he was
waited upon at his home. not more than
three days before the convention Now
they insist upon Mr.. Shutty making a
retraction of his signed statement pub
lished in a local paper yesterday. 1t
leaked out this afternoon that !, certhin
party leaders have gone to Sc, him to-
day.
