Hon. w. A. Clark made a glorious
fight in our State in the recent cam
paign," said C. A. Fuller OF Helena.
Mon, at Chamberlins last night. For
the first time in the history of silver Bow
County Mr.. Clark will control the twelve
legislators from Butte, which has always
been controlled by the late Marcus DAILY.
AS the State Legislature now stands
| Clark has fifty-four votes secured out OF
total of ninety-four. Besides. there
are Republicans who will vote for him,
and there is no doubt but that he will
come to the United States Senate after
|
complete vindication. Already there is
talk of the successor Of Senator Carter
for the six-year term, since Mr.. Clark
will accept his 'unexpired' term, to which
he was elected two years ago. Ex-Gov-
ernoc j. X. Tocle and +. A. Heinze appear
to be the only likely candidates. The
former is good Democrat and close to
; Clark, while the latter claims distinc-
tion because he has no less than hun

| properties. He was formerly Republic
can. but stumped the State for Clark this
year and aided him materially. While
| 1t is openly stated by the Republi: ans
| that Mr.. Clark spent great deal of
| money in his campaign. no charges Will
be made and no objections offered to his
taking his seat in the Senate chamber in

is at the Arlington for a brief visit, after

election day." said he last night, land
was greatly impressed with the way you
do things. One odd feature is the clos
| ing of the beer saloons and drinking
places. We would never dream of that
in England. Then, again, your election is
sumed. as though nothing had happened.
In England the general elections last
fourteen days and business is practically
paralyzed. Chicago impressed me by its
dirty streets. the worst, l think, l have
ever seen. l think. however. that the
stockyards are the greatest in the world
Your city is beautiful. charming, and a
fitting capital to SO great a nation.

country has great future, and will sur
prise the world"
Col. Frark p. O'Neill, of San Francisco,
is at the Riggs en- route home after three
months spent in Europe. AS retired
broker he has devoted much of his time
to the sport of kings" and is very en-
thusiastic over some of the turf contests
which he witnessed while in England.
Il am going to wait over and see several
days racing at the Benning track said
he last night. II got back too late to see
anything at Aqueduct, and after seas
on the other side l am anxious to get back
to our superior American methods. Still,
l was favorably impressed with the game
over there, and particularly so because
blunt honesty sticks out at every meet
inG. Do you know what caused all this
row over American horses and American
lot of American 'touts.' You know how
they talk at track here. but, fortunately.
nobody pays any attention to them. On
the other side they were listened to and
their tales of doping caused suspicion
to be aroused. The English owners are
sticklers for fair play, and are not natu
rally suspicious. Why. it is common
thing for them to bet 10000 or s15.000 |
on IA horse in cheap selling platter race. |
Now. imagine an American risking $4,000 |
or SI5. 600 on anything outside OF high |
class stake event, l would be willing to !
take stable of horses to England IL they |
were good horses, because l know that if |
my entries were best they would win. The |
Jockey Club is absolutely honest, clean,
and straight. and the owners and trainers |
very square, if little slow to compre- |
bend think the American style of rid |
ing will force the British style out of ex- |
istence."
I'VE are all highly excited over the |
Quay fight in Pittsburg," said L. c. KEEL |
lar, a lawyer from the Smoky City, who |!
was at Wizards last night. "The big |
question in the Keystone State concerns
not the retention of the Philippines. nor
Imperialism. nor monetary matters, it Is
simply VIII NJ. S. Quay have enough votes
to break into the United States Senator
OF course he has his enemies as well as |
his supporters. but l believe majority |
favors his election. He is the most Ca
pable man We could send and there is
really nothing against him. The anti
Quay men claim to have elected 1l9 Tem-
hers of the lower house and twenty-eight |
Senators. This, if true, would give them
majority. but / know personally that
a large number Of those who were on The
fence last time have come over and no
small percentage of those who opposed |
the former Senator before will now vote
for him. Pennsylvania has had to put up
with one-half of her representation in
the Senate for long enough and the peoDla
have tired of it. They must have some
man and as Mr.. Quay has exper ence and
a coed record they prefer his election
And the newly elected members of the
State Legislature know this, too"
W W Ferrce, railroad contractor
from Los Angeles. Cal, is at the Nation
al on an Eastern trip
We are pretty well satisfied with the
result OF the election in our State" said
he last night. I'VE not only went Repub-
lican but also adopted a constitutional
amendment which will keep politics in
our State clean in future. The anne nd
ment provided for the holding CT prima-
ries in such Il way and under such
stIictiors as will make the cid abuses I'M
possible. ! think that California politics
has been rotten as anything could be
in the United States, and that there will
