VOTE FOR THE STRAIGHT TICKET

Butte Tribune Review: The first, the
obvious, the all important thing for the
voters to do when he gets to the ballot
next month is to vote the republican
ticket, and next, nay, almost as import
ant is it that he shall vote it straight. He
must not be persuaded by any specious
reasoning or by any fancied predilectior
for personalities to depart from this
course. Vote the republican ticket and
vote it straight. Depend upon it, this
is what the other side will do. They
will go blindfolded to the slaughter and
will swallow the whole democratic bolus,
no matter how sick it may make them,
To save the state from the grasp of the
corrupt gang who have fastened on 1t
is the object of the republican party and
every shot in the locker. Don't miss one.
thls can only be accomplished by using

republican ticket and rid the state once
for all from lawlessness and disgrace.

OFFICE OR PRINCIPLE, WHICH,

Dillon Tribune: A party is supposed
to represent a code of principles to which
Its members adhere. These principles
hold the party together, and the outward
organization is only for the purpose of
advancing them. The party IS supposed
to work for thhe Triumph Of it's principles
and they measure the extent Of their
success by the endorsements or non-en-
dorselnent of their views at the polls.
Parties are not organized to secure off,
ces for a set Of men, and whenever they
make this their prime object they forfeit
their right to recognition us a party. h
fusion Of parties Numerically opposed in
principle betrays the fact that office has
become paramount. We have a case in
Montana in which two parties lave made
the necessary sacrifice OF principle in
order to steal the state. The fusion par
yin the state really and truly stands for
nothing but Office. 1t Is not entitled to
recognition as ar honest competitor for
the privilege of managing affairs or state,
and the people will so decide at the
polls.

GRANTEES NEXT LEGISLATORS.

Philips6burg Mail: Mr.. H. I. Weinstein,
one of the republican nominees for rep
resentatiVe, is a young man who has
home lis here; everything he possesses in
this world is here-his interest are here.
He is a young man of whom any COM
munity may justly be proud. He is emf
nently qualified to fill this high office
with credit to himself n the communi-
ty. He places honor above corruption,
and such men this county needs to rep
resent it's interests. There is no danger
of him selling out to anyone, n he can
be depended upon to come back with
a clear conscience of having done h
is right. He will be elected and every
man voting for him will have the salts
faction of knowing that he did his part
In stamping out corruption and bribery in
this state.
The moral side of the question must
be looked upon in this campaign. This
is a serious matter and should NOT be
passed on lightly by anyone
DR.. Peter S. Mussigbrod, the other
candidate chosen by the republicans, is
one OF the most prominent n repre-
| sentative men in the county. He Is a
man of character and untarnished p
tation. He is 2 silver man and has ON

northern part of Granite county than

opponents have been able to say about
him is that he is the heir to an interest
in some estate in Deer Lodge county. Is
that a disqualification? DR.. Mussig'brod
has worked hard for all he has ccum
lated. He was a common, everyday as
| sayer at the Poorman mine in the Occur
d'Alenes six years ago. Later he en-
gagged in mining on his W hook at the
head of Bear Gulch in Granite county.

IT'S THE STRAIGHT GOODS.

If there is any corporation dictation
in Montana it is in the democratic and
Independent democratic parties, not in
the republican ranks.
In the ~first-named party there are
most of the employees of the two COM
panies that are fighting the Amalgam-
ated. In the other party are most of the
employees of the Amalgamatde itself.
Therefore, if there is IN coercion by
corporations it is in the two democratic
organizations, not in the republican
ranks.
The republican party is the only party
free from all possibility of corporate in
fuence. It's candidates are the only can
didates beyond corporate reach. 1t is
the party of the people, free, untram-
meled, patriotic and public spirited.
Their are no strings on any republican
nominee in state or county.
The only way to get rid of the de-
mocracy and all it's bad smells is to vote
the republican tickle straight.

WALKING OUT OF TOWN.

Says the Miner this morning:
Every man that opposes the STANDARD
Oil company in this campaign will have
to walk out of town before another year
has passed.
The Miner then adds:
This threat is attributed to Ed S.
Booth. one of the political attorneys Of
the Amalgamated = the jobber-in-chief
for the republican end of it.
Attributed" is good. Why does the
Miner publish such a villainous threat
and then say it is attributed to Ed 5.
Booth"' Who attributes it to Ed S.
Booth? When was it attributed to Ed
S. Booth? Come. give us the names and
the time. Don't resort to that sort of
business. Ask Ed s. Booth whether he
ever uttered such a threat before print
ing it and then saying it is attributed"
to Ed S. Booth. The Miner complains
because yesterday the Inter Mountain
printed an official record about Judge
Clancy. Yet today that paper prints a
hearsay report about Mr.. Booth and does
not even do him the courtesy to inquire
whether he ever used the language
quoted.
Mr.. Booth never uttered the threat
quoted in the Miner. He was never ad-
thorized to utter it. There was never a

MOSTLY ABOUT COPPER.

Says the esteemed Helena Independ-
ent:
It requires twenty bushels more corn
to buy a wagon now han it did in 1896.
In the absence of any proof of that
assertion, the Inter Mountain pro-
nounces 1T incorrect. 1t is quite posi-
BILE tina wagons We're cheaper in 1896
h they are now. h few men
We're at work in the wagon factories
We're glad to get the reduced wages they
labored for. Very few wagons were sold
because the farmers could not afford to
buy wagons. They were using corn for
fuel because they could get only Is cents
a bushel for it. Times AVE changed
since then. Wagons are in active de-
mand. Wagon makers wages have ad-
vanced, and naturally the price has in
creased. On the other hand, corn is
worth about 40 cents a bushel, and the
farmers are prosperous and we'll able to
buy wagons.
The Independents fairy tale about it's
taking twenty bushels more corn to buy
a wagon than 1T did four years ago is
pfODaDly not correct. AS corn Is worth
three times as much now as in 1896 it
is quite likely that it takes less and not
more of it to buy a wagon. Another ter
rible Indictment of the Independent is
this:
It requires 100 per cent more corn or
wheat to buy a copper kettle than in
1896.
Really! That is a good argument in
Montana. 1t is a terrible thing If the
trusts have put up the price of copper.
They ought to AVE put it down. They

ABOUT TRUSTS,

The reason the democratic party
claims it is opposed to trusts is thai by
the consolidation of capital and the
monopoly of certain industries the price
of commodities to the consumer is in
creased.
The reason the Montana democracy is
opposed ITO trusts is that a certain cor
poration owns a number of copper mines,
that it is a copper trust and that it
should be suppressed because in it's
monopolistic capacity it conspires to
keep up the price of copper. That is not
the reason given by the Montana democ-
racy in all cases for it's hostile attitude
towards that corporation, but hat is one
of it's actual reasons if the Kansas City
platform has any weight in Montana.
Let US suppose the democratic party
should win in his state. drive out the
Amalgamated people, close down their
mines on the plans suggested by Mr..
Peter Breen, and break up the trusts.
Who would be the direct n imme>
date sufferers? WHO would be the first
men to feel the blighting hand of de-
mocracy? The ~workingmen and the
business men of course. They would be
h victims of the righteous democratic
campaign against trusts. The democrats
who are now urging them to vote
against aggregated capital" and mo
nopoly''-they would be in Office drawing
fat salaries and giving h discharged
workingmen the laugh.
In the meantime the men who toll in
thu mines and dependent industries OF
Butte should not ignore the fact that
n reason of the present democratic at
tack on the Cooper Trust is that cop
per is too high and ought to come down
to nearly the cost of production.
Everybody knows what hat would
mean to Butte.

JUDGE CLANCY.

The Miner flies into a rage this morn
ing and as cowardly and hor-
rible the Inter Mountains publication
yesterday of the proceedings and opinion
Of the district court in the case of
William Clancy. The Miner assumes
that the judges character and ability
have been attacked, and says it's a
shame. -
The Inter Mountain cheerfully acquits
Judge Clancy of any intentional wrong,
doing in the case at ISSUE. The object
of the publication of the record was to
show thai in the Estimation of one OF
the most eminent lawyers of this county
and state, Judge Clancy was not legally
qualified to practice law. 1t is not
known that he has taken a law course
since that time. We do not remember
that the Miner objected to Judge Nc
Hatton's structures. Neither is it re-
called that in the campaign of 1896, when
Judge Clancy was Endorsed by the
county democracy for his present posi-
ton, the able Butte Miner supported
him, or that it ever said a kind word Of
him. The Inter Mountain does not claim
to be an authority on what constitutes
a lawyers education, but 1t is willing to

amy court 1t pleases when the uualifca-
lions of any candidate for Office are in
dispute. Let the Miner show the court
record to the wrong. Here's a decision
from the state supreme court bearing on
Judge Clancy.s qualifications as a judge.
1t was printed last week without any
objection from the Miner:
But there are some facts and circum-
stances shown by this record that are
remarkable, and GAIL for the ~naimadver-
sion of the court. The receiver was, in
our opinion, appointed without any au-
thority of law. There was nothing be-
fore the court to authorize it. But the
haste and want of judicial elaboration
that characterized the appointment: the
expedition with which the receiver took
possession OF the corporations property;
the facility with which plaintiffs OBJ
tanned all their orders and rulings of the
court: the delays which were permitted
by the court to obstruct and defeat any
request of the defendant company for
bonds and for hearing: the order of sale
of the goods made at chambers, without
notice, when the goods We're in the
hands of the receiver, and could not be
lost. injured or deteriorated in value. as

ceiver is reversed, and all orders made
subsequent thereto are vacated.
1t is for the people of Silver Bow who
have property interests frequently in
volved in litigation to decide whether
they wish Judge Clancy reelected or
not. The Miners files will show what
that great newspaper thinks of him., but
that is not the issue. The issue relates
largely to his qualifications as al inter-
prefer of the law, and this newspaper
roposes to call up the record on the
subject whenever it feels so disposed. 1t
has always treated Judge Clancy with
more courtesy than either the Miner or
standard did, though he was elected by

MONTANA'S PRESIDENTIAL ELEC.
TORS.

Bozeman Avant Courier: If the repub-
lican presidential electors-Gen. l.. S.
Wilson. Col. H. c. Kessler and Paul Nc
C~ormick-were running for office in this
state on their own account, they would
certainly receive a very handsome COM
plimentary vote in Gallatin county; for
there are no citizens more worthy or de-
serving in Montana-none better, more
enterprising or patriotic in any state
in the union. And it so happens tina
Gallatin county classes two of them
among her honored old-time pioneer
residents. Paul Mccormick being one Of
our first settlers and early-day farmers
and Gen. Wilson being one of our enter
prising pioneer merchants. And as to
Col. kessler he a a splendid military
record before the recent wal with Spain,
while his brave and gallant services
while in command of Montana's First
regiment of Volunteers in the Philippines
have added both laurels and popularity
to his fame.
Standing in their representative capac-
ity only. for the united head of the repub-
lican national ticket, they suitably and
conspicuously reflect the manhood, pa
triotism and magnificent citizenship Of
MefAiiiey anu governor ISOOSe-
welt during the present campaign. Thus
a complimentary vote cast for those
worthy electors will be a sensible and de-
serving vote cast for Major Mckinley
and Teddy Roosevelt. Contrasting the
Mckinley administration with tina of
Cleveland, no fair-mind person can fail
to discern that the past four years have
been marked with almost unprecedented
progress and prosperity, both locally and
nationally; while the four years previous
We're the most depressing and disastrous

trial interests that h republic has ex-
perienced since the civil war.

kettle manufacturers with copper at 6
or s cents per pound. OF course, such q
price as that for copper would close
down every copper mine in Butte, and
throw %, 900 men out of employment in
Montana, but why should the few copper
miners be enriched while the many con-
sumers are robbed? That is the demo-
cratic argument.

price of copper! Down with the copper

est in government contracts. Members
of the opposition have been arraigned as
traitors. There nave been challenges to
libel suits, and honorable members of
parliament lave called one another liars

peatedly portrayed as a craven states
man who condoned Cecil Rhodes guilt
