these boodling operations which a.
brought this young commonwealth into
such unfortunate notoriety. The people
of Montana are heartily sick of democrat
ic methods, nor do they take kindly to the
Campbell system of purifying politics.,
which does not purify.
We are proud to submit the record OF
our representatives in congress, for con-
trast with that of the opponents Of Mon
tana democracy. The only representation
which this state has ever enjoyed in that
great law-making body, has been at the
hands of republicans. And today the
state of Montana is represented in the
senate of the United States, by a man
whose energy and ability has contributed
to the wisdom of the councils of party
when his advice is sought on all import
ant questions which vitality concern the
nation. No man in the United States sem
ate stands higher in his party than the
Hon. Thomas H. Carter of Montana,
through whose untiring efforts this young
state has secured recognition which is a
source OF pride to it's citizens, and the
envy of many older states.
The cOnduct and the records of the two
democratic representatives from Montana
IN the United States congress, is known
to all. They speak for themselves, and
condemn forever the democratic party in
the SUate or Montana.
-Four years ago, thousands Of republic
cans, decoyed by the beguiling influences
or the democratic party, left us to fight
the battle alone, but these people are with
US again. conscious of having been the
victims of democratic hypocracy and mis-
placed confidence, n stronger than ever
In the conviction that the salvation of
this country lies in the republican party.
We stand again reunited. Stronger than
ever. And freed forever from the nArni-
cious influence of that political traitor
who tried to deliver the republican party
into the hands of the democrats, we will
march in solid phalanx to a grand and
glorious victory on e November, a VIC
tory which will mean the redemption of
the state from democratic rule, and the
election of two republican United States
senator's.
The chairman had probably been ak
ing two minutes when he mentioned the
name of William Mckinley. Instantly
pandemonium reigned, n when quiet
was somewhat restored S. T. Murray of
the Missoula delegation sprang to his
feet and called for three cheers for Will
liam Mckinley. They were given with
a roof-raising effect. n the enthusiasm
was so great that it was some minutes
before the speaker could proceed.

w. A. Clark for United States senator
The chairman of the Teton county dele
cation replied that he was the same
man.
"Then," said the colonel, II move tina
his name be eliminated from the list of
delegates"
And the motion prevailed.
The committee on resolutions reported
as follows:
