some of the unions nevertheless. Daily
is always willing to pay the union

Up in the Bitter Root Valley Daily
has his breeding farm and orchard. In
I number Of trees DAILY has the second
largest apple orchard in the country.
As to his horse establishment, the
newspaper reader knows that he has
bought the bluest blooded animals he
could find. Probably the happiest days
] OF his busy life are spent on his Bit
! ter Root ranch. Each summer he is
there with his family. He always has
! friends there. They are not. as a rule,
! people who have fine places of their
own. Boys and girls of the age of his
own children are the principal visitors
! and to see DAILY with the youngsters
one would not suppose he was carrying
/ the burdens Of one of the biggest en-
! terprissS in the northwest An illustra-
] ton will show another phrase of Dalys
/ character.
! Before he built his smelter at Ana
conda the valley below the works was
rich and productive. He bought a num-
! Der of farms and the failing from the
! works and the copper imDregnated
| water were allowed TO run down on the
/ land. Gradually the water covered more
| and more ground, and some of the
ranchmen who would not sell save at
! exaggerated prices found their ranches
were being ruined. They went to Daily
and complained. He said he would pay
fair price for the ranches but he
would not be robbed. Among the suf-
fererd was a man who had given an
option on his place to a real estate
agent. This agent had tried to make
DAILY pay fabulous price for the pro-
perty and threatened a big damage
suit. DAILY told him to go ahead: that
he would not be imposed upon. The
ranchman had q friend who was wei
thought of by DAILY and whom Daily
trusted. The ranchman wars in poor
health and wanted to go to California
The friend went to Daily and told him
the circumstances. q do not want to
rob any man." said Daily, but I Will
not be robbed. l think that place is
worth so much. Now you get a good
man to place a value on it and / will
pay for it. but that thieving agent is
not to get a cent" The valuation was
fixed higher than DAILY had placed it,
but he paid it without dissent only
stipulating that the owner get it all.
In his home life DAILY is a model huS-
band and father While most indulgent,
there is one point where his Wife5 per
suasive powers have in the past been

his wife was appealed to, but she could
not get him to sit. DAILY is not a pub
lie speaker, In his whole residence in
Montana he has not talked in public
more than half a dozen times. and then
he has spoken for but few minutes.
DAILY AND CLARK ARE OPPOS- /
TIES.
DAILY is a lusty, rudy faced irish (
man, and in his prime was broad of /
shoulder and deep of chest. Clark is /
slender, a man of little physical force. /
DAILY is hearty, impetuous, enthusiast /
tic. Clark is cool, reserved, almost pes +
Daily is magnetic. There is a
rollicking burr in his tongue sometimes,
and if he mangle5 the Queens English /
it is because-well, probably he does it
on purpose. Clark is precise of Ian
guage, suave and polished. Have you
never seen a man whose intellect was
so cold it seemed to chill you? One gets
that impression from Clark.
All the country knows the story of
Clark's election TO the Senate by the
Legislature of Montana, the protest
against his taking his seat by sundry
citizens Of the State, who alIege that he
bought his seat, and who give name
and amounts in five figures, and his
that he is the victim of a
of which Daily is alleged to
be the prime instigator. The Senate
will decide the facts in the case. Citi-
zens of Montana are interested. The
good name of the State is at stake.
William A. Clark is the best organ
zed piece of human machinery 1 have
ever known"
This is the statement of a man who
Knows Senator Clark intimately and
Who has studied his character. He
yives it as the summing up of the char
lcteriStics which have made the man
in many lines of human en-
leavor His mental organization give
lin a grasp of details which is marvel
rus and which enables him to retain 5
he unfiagging mastery of the gigantic {
business enterprises he has created. {
he is at the head of mer- S
antile, manufacturing, mining and
gricultura1 concerns whose capitaliza- I
ion runs far into the millions, employ I
ng more than 5000 men, there is no 6
etail too small to engage his atten- I
ion. Distance from the scene of oper- )
ton cuts no figure with him. He an '
ihilates space. as he does time, and
-herever the electric wire runs he J
eeps his hand upon the key and is in 5
ouch with his responsibilities. ]
Even here. while he is conducting the r
reat fight of his life. battling for his '
eat in the Senate and his good name, 7
g overlooks nothing. Every night be- q
ore he goes to bed he scans the daily i
eports forwarded TO him of the prog
ssS of his business. 1t may be of his b
immense snelters at Butte, his fabu- C
lusly rich copper mines of Arizona, his c
beet sugar factory in h
outhern California, his rubber and t
Office plantations in Mexico, his coal o
lines. railroads, wire mills, or what T
OF; he must know daily what each is !!
ding and what each needs. One would
mink it is enough to drive a single man 4

That. Of course, is the control of mind f
