In Montana.

In some respects the people Of Montana
have more at stake In this election than
those OF any other state In the Union.
They are TO choose not only state ON
GERS and presidential electors. but menu
bers OLA legislature that win elect two
United states senators. one for four and
the other for six years
A tremendous effort Is being made by
the Republican party to redeem Mon
tana from the disgrace that has fallen
upon II through the carnival OF Doodle.
with the Eruption OF william A. Clark
into politics. there came a moral debanch
that has shocked and scandalixed our peo-
pie as deeply as the election OF Roberts
In Utah. The criminal In this case aims
at higher position The crime OF which
he IL guilty Is one that strikes at free
institutions as directly as that OF Roberts
aid at the sanc,isy of the home. II is a
crucial test for Montana.
Two years ago Clark bought bis cleo
ton BY such lavish use Of money ss had
been unknown In American politics.
with that tainted title he went TO Wash

ter a searching investigation. found him
guilty OF corruption. ny . ruse he had
himself appointed during the temporary
absence of the governor Then he went

ON American soldiers.
There was Popuiist meeting in Dick

named Phipps was the orator OF the oc-
CASTOR. Among other things he CHARGED
the American soldiers IN the philippines

patton was burning native villages and
robbing tho inhabitants. He repeated

The Demand for Labor.

The Demand for Labor.
One Of the best evidences Of Mckinley
prosperity IL the demand for labor
throughout the state OF washington. II
IL only necessary to contrast conditions
today with those existing four years ago
to appreciate the difference between Re-
publican rule and Democratic rule. Then.
there we're ten applicants for every job
that offered now It Is impossible TO sup
ply the demand. and there are ten Jobs
for every applicant -Four years ago both
skilled and unskiIled labor was willing
and anxious to take any sort Of employ
ment at low wages; at the present time
the demand for labor Is SO great that the
workman may pick his own job and re-
ceive wages higher than has ever been
known before.
The Post -Inteiligencer published an ar
ticle on Thursday which set forth IN de-
tail conditions as they now exist in Sc
attic. In today's issue appears a review
OF the labor market in Spokane 1t IL
the same sort Of story that IL told From
the metropolis Of Eastern Washington
comes the same report OF q demand for
labor that Is unsuppiied Where four
years ago one employment once could
easily handle the business that was
transacted in that period OF hard times.
rev ten or dozen Offices are kept busy
and are unable to I'LL orders that come
In from different parts OF the Northwest.
The calls for men in railroad construction
are urgent from many quarters. and not
one-half the number wanted can be SCI
cured. Transfers. tie men. wood chop
pers, miners. skilled mechanics and COM
mon laborers have only to apply for work
and they can be given positions at once
In fact the number presenting them
selves at the employment agencies DO not
begin 20 meet the demand. and in some
Instances It has been necessary for agents
to 20 into the streets and pick up men
wherever they could be found
Any reports that men have lost en-
ployment ana can fnd nothing TO do can
be shown to be utterly untrue by an In
vestigation OF the labor market In any
one OF the large cities OF the state There
In no reason for any man to remain idle.
and II there are idle men in any locali-
ties II IL because they do not care 20
work. Men need not stand on the street
corners vasnly looking for employment as
they did in 1856 More places are open
than there are people to lli them. and he
who would earn living has only 10 seek
and he will tnd.
These are conditions that have been
brought about by the election Of a Re-
publican president In iss6 II the labor.
Ing man desires that these conditions
continue he can have his desires graft.
nea rs voting to retain the present al.
ministratien In power The paramount
issue with the workingmsn Is whethe,
or nos7she good times Of today are tc
prevail IN the future. The election Of this
Republican ticket will be the best guar.
