RIVALS FACED EACH OTHER
DAILY and Clark Listen to the Testimony
Today.
Attorney General Nolan Resumes
John r.. Toele Denies That There
Was u Conspiracy in Montana.

When the Senate committee on elections
assembled today Mr.. Marcus Daily the head
of the Montana opposition to Senator Clark.
was present in the committee room, and it
was understood that he would take the
stand some time during the day. While the
responsibility for the investigation has been
charged largely to him, he has not hereto
fore made his appearance before the COM
mittee. He entered the room quietly and
after being introduced to the members Of
the committee present took q seat with
other spectators back of the seat occupied
by witnesses. Senator Clark WAS also pres
ent He sat across the room from Mr.. DAILY
but the eyes of the rival millionaires did
not seem to meet.
AT the beginning of the days session At
torney General Nolan took the witness
stand Referring to the Whiteside expos
ure. Mr.. Nolan said the people of Montana
THE air full of the evidence of brib-
cry" he said; you could cut it with a
knife
John r. Toole of Anaconda, Mont. was
next called. He is regarded a contiden-
tial friend of Mr.. DAILY and is a member of
the Montana legislature. He said he was
interested with DAILY in mining, and had
since the 1st of June last been under a sal
ary from him in connection with their min
ing enterprises. He also said that he con-
sidered that he had Mr.. Daly's confidence
In political matters and knew the latter's
plans. Notwithstanding this fact, he had
as member of the legislature in 1899 voted
for Mr.. Clark for the Senate. Indeed he
had never known Mr.. Daily to seek office or
try to influence the course of his friends
Nor had he ever known OF Mr.. Daly's at
tempting to influence or control any pr-
mary or other election, or state, county or
city convention.
Mr.. Toole also said that Mr.. DAILY had no
especial candidate for the Senate, being
willing to accept the nominee of the demo-
cratic caucus. Mr. Dalys friends were,
however. opposed to Mr.. Clark principally
because of the charge of bribery with
which the air was full for month before
the meeting of the legislature. The witness
said he had never entered into a conspiracy
to defeat Mr. Clark for the Senate He de-
MED that there was any DAILY or distinc-
lively anti-Clark lobby in Helena during the
session of the legislature.
On croSS-eXamination Mr.. Faulkner tried
to draw out a concession from Mr. Toole TO
the effect that Mr. DAILY had closed out
boarding houses and stores not supposed
to be friendly to Mr.. Daily.
On the contrary, he asserted that Mr..
DAILY had built model boarding house or
large scale for his workmen, giving them
better accommodations at low rates than
other places. 1t was, of course a common
thing for discharged men to make cha rges
against Mr.. DAILY. Still, 1t was true that
ne was the friend Of the laboring men,
standing often between them and a reduc-
ton of wages.

BAD DATE FOR CONVENTION.
Western Railway officials Criticise
Action of Democrats.

CHICAGO, February 24-The Tribune
says:
Western railroad officials think a serious
mistake was made by the democratic ma
Gonal committee in fixing the date for the
democratic national convention at Kansas
City for July 4. A worse day for the con-
vention, they say, could not have been
chosen. as on that day the railroads are
running cheap excursions between all points
east of the Missouri river, and generally all
the available railroad equipment is required
for the handling of this business Under
the circumstances. the railroads. and espe-
cially those running direct to Kansas City,
fail to see how enough equipment can be
secured at that time for the handling Of
the crowds that will want to go to the con-
vention To give up the regular Fourth of
July holiday excursions to accommodate the
democratic convention crowds railway Of
ifcials say would be poor policy. With the
limited accommodations. the railroads will
be able to furnish for the convention bust
ness, they propose to make a higher rate
for that occasion than they would have
made otherwise.
