the republican party and the republicans
of Silver Bow county are as fully COM
petent to manage and control the affairs
of the party in this county in the future
as they have been in the past without die

company or corporation, and we will not
tolerate n such interference.

We unqualified1y denounce the conduct
of A. J. Campbell, the democratic repre-
sentative of the state of Montana, in the
congress of the United States. and we cal!
attention to the fact of his utter disregard
of his official duties and his failure to rep
resent the interests of constituents in the
lower house of congress.
In contrast to the action of said demo-
cratic representative In congress, We poin.
with pride to the enviable record made by
the Hon. Thomas H. Carter in the Unlteu
States senate in championing the cause OF
the people and protecting the interests Of
the state in a manner rejecting credit
upon himself and the republican party.
We call attention to the unimpeachable
record Of the republican party as the pro-
products and American labor.

ton to follow in the footsteps of our sister
states, Utah and Colorado. in the enact
ment of a law providig that eight hours
shall constitute a legal days work, and

deavor to bring about the enactment OF
such a law.
We further pledge the support of the
representatives named by this convention
to the enactment of a law compelling all
employers of labor to pay their employees
in cash or check. without the Intervention

We further pledge our representatives, IL
elected, to the enactment of a law which
shall prevent any mining or smelling or
other industrial corporation from engaging
in mercantile business, directly or Indirect
ly; and we pledge ourselves and our repre-
such laws as will guarantee to every
laborer employed in the state of Montana
the right to deal wheresoever, and with
Whomsoever he pleases.
We endorse the language of the republican
national platform on the subject of trusts,
and assert that the republican party has
always maintained that any cOIlDlldllO1
