Helena, Sept. 6.-At Wednesdays ses-
sion of the republican state convention the
Clark -Heinze Bumpers delegation from
Silver Bow county was turned down
with unanimity that permitted of no
question as to the feeling of the conven
tion. Wednesdays session was also
marked by four other events. The first
and most important was the enthusiastic
demonstration in honor of four republi-
cans, Worden, Mckay, Lindsay and
Hedges who refused to vote for Clark in
the last Legislature. Three cheers was
proposed for them by Chairman Wool
man upon the occasion of presenting
Dawson county's credentials by William
Lindsay, and they were given with royal
good will. The other three events were
speeches by Carter. Sanders and Man
tie, Col. Sanders being especially we'll
received. There was sharp passage
between Sanders and Carter over Lewis
and Clark members of the state commit
tee. DR.. Treacy, the notorious josher,
had been selected at the caucus of the
delegation, but the selection was not to
the taste of portion of the delegation
headed by Sanders. In the convention
Sanders protested against Treacy's Sc
lection and attacked him vigorously.
Carter defended him and closed the in
cident by saying that his name would
not be presented. Treacy's name was
presented, however, and he was chosen
with the other members of the state
committee, when it was too late for San
ders to do more. Most of the nomina-
tions Wednesday were made by accla-
nation, although in one or two cases
there were contests. o. F.. Goddard was
nominated for congress, but declined,
and s. G. Murray of Missoula, was then
selected by acclamation.

ray, of Missoula; for elector, Lester S.

The resolutions form a notable docu-
ment, from the fact that they denounce
in the strongest terms the legislators
who were bought by Clark. That portion
of the resolutions referring to the mat
ter says:
THAT we regard with indignation and
shame the odium that was cast upon our
state by the corrupt methods employed
in the election of a democratic candi-
date fof the senate of the United States,
