Doodle tag.
In the last legislature four men re-
fused to be bought, refused to sell
their birthright to W. A. Clark. One
of these men is W. A. Hedges, OF this
county. Each OF them. save one,
have been renominated for Office this
fall, and the exception is Senator
Worden, OF Missoula county, whose
term has not expired.
In Custer county Representative
Mckay is candidate for county
treasurer; in Dawson county VIM.
Lindsey Is u candidate for the state
senate; in Fergus county w. A. Hedges
is a candidate to succeed himself, In
each covuty the men were the unani-
nous choice OF their party for nomi-
nation.
In the last legislature there were
no other four men who were SO bad
ly In need of money to pay honestly
incurred obligations than were these
four yet they stood like the rock OF
Gibralter against Clark's enticing
gold and they returned to their con-
stituents clean handed, heads erect,
They did not come home through the
back door, nor did they send apollo
gies ahead nor bring any with them.
They had done well and their con-
stituents met them with acclaim.
In Fergus county W. A. Hedges
was honored. He did not then think
that but sixteen months later Clark s
Doodle fund would be spread over
the state again. But it is and Is be
ing used right here in Fergus county
to defeat Mr.. Hedges and his running
companion, Alex B. Lehman. 1t il
being used to elect W. L. Cort and J,
A. Weaver-to bribe the people ol
Fergus county to say that Mr.,
Hedges was wrong when he refused
to sell himself and his constituency
to return men rom this county who
will wear the Clark Doodle tag and
vote for Clark. the convicted briber,
No greater issue was ever present
ed to the people OF this or any other
county.
Can it be possible that on November
9Th Johns can truthfully telegraph
Clark 1--WE bought Fergus; Hedges il
beaten and Cort and Weaver elected?'
No, We say; but to prevent that
consummation every Republican,
every man who loves his state, who
loves his home, who believes in hon
esty, who condemns bribery, who
abhors crime must be alert and vote
against the Clark candidates-Cort
and Weaver.
Messrs. Hedges and Lehman are
Republicans. One has proven that
he cannot be bought and we conf.
IDENTIFY predict that Mr.. Lehman, II
elected. will be equally unapproach'
able. The same crime will be at
tempted next winter as was success.

Let the honest man awake to the
dunger.

Washington. ID. c.. Oct. 9.-Acting
Secretary Meiklejohn, OF the war de-
partment has sent the following let.
ter to Hon. W. j. Bryan, who spoke
at Peoria today:
Washington. d. c., Oct. 6.-Dear
Sir: In the press reports yesterday
OF your address at Upton, Ind, in
which you referred to the overthrow
of human slavery in the United States,
resulting from the successes OF the
army Of the Union, you are also re.
ported as saying in that connection:
"'We fought them for the adoption
of constitutional amendment that
provided that no man could own a
slave, and yet before the Philippine
warts ended we have the Sulu treaty
which recognizes slavery
Permit me to invite your atten.
tion to the following extract from
the letter OF the secretary OF war to
Major General l.. S. Otis, commander
of the United States forces in the
Philippines, under date of Oct. 81
1899:
1.-The president instructs me to ad
wise you that the agreement signed
Aug. 10, 1899, between Brigadier Gen,
eral John c. Boles, representing the
United States, OF the one part, the
sultan Of olo, the dato Rajah Muda
the dato Attik, the dato Calbi and
the dato Joakanian of the other part
Is sconsrmed and approved, subject to
the action Of congress, provided fol-
In that clause OF the treaty of peace
between the United States and Spain
which provides 1.-THE civil rights and
the political status of the native In
habitants OF the territory hereby

the understanding reservation, which
should be distinctly communicated tc
the sultan Of Jolo, that this agree

to authorize or give the consent %
the United States to the existence %
slavery in the Sulu archipelago. q
thing which is made impossible by
the thirteenth amendment to thecon

NOW BETTING on STATES.
Offering Odds in New York That Nebraska
and MARY Win Go Republican.

New York, Oct. ll.-Bryan money
is SO hard to find in Wall street that
several small bets were made today
at four to one. The prevailing odds
for several weeks have been three tO
one, and Mr.. Croker, who staked on
Bryan at one to two and half, IL
quoted as saying that the market
has been rugged.
The four to one betting today was
in small amounts. When the bettor
offers such odds as that on presi-
Dental election he must feel certain OF
winning. The largest bet at that
rate reported is $4OO to 800. Brok-
erage firms and individuals In Wall
street who have large amounts ui
cash which they have been commits
stoned to place on Mckinley are
despairing OF being able to find tak.
ers. Failing to get bets on the gen.
eral result, offers are made at odds
on the states the Democratic poll
ticians say Bryan will carry.
At the New. York stock exchange
these offers were made today: $780,
900 to $4,000 that Mckinley will
carry Nebraska; $4,000 to S3j,OOC
on Maryland and Illinois. Edward
Wasserman did a lot of bustliDg to-
day to try and bet $4,000 against
81 900 that Mckinley would carry
Illinois, but he was unsuccessful. An
offer was made on the floor of the
stock exchange OF 81 900 to $500 that
Mckinley would carry Maryland, hut
no one wanted the short end Of It..
On the curb a dozen offers OF $3.50 to
800 on Mckinley. but went begging,
along with a 500 to S25 offer. No
large bets have been made 40 far at
the uptown hotels as in former ma
tional campaigns. There is plenty Of
Mckinley money IN sight at the ho-
tells and sporting resorts, but n
search was made which would not
unearth Bryan money enough to
lower the odds on Mckinley.
