CHICAGO, September 29.-W.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, in open
ing his western campaign itinerary here
tonight spoke to an audience that
crowded the Coliseum built to seat
10000 persons. The speech was made
under the auspices of the Anti-lmper-

who were unable to enter the auditor
Jun. The crush at the doors when Mr..
Cochran, accompanied by Mayor Harri-
son and others arrived. was so great
that scores of men and women tainted
and both Mr.. Cochran and Chicago's
executive were jostled and half suffo-
Gated United States Senator Jones and
his wife were caught in the throng
and only by heroic efforts was Mrs.
Jones rescued from injury.
Mayor Harrison introduced Mr..
Cochran, who Immediately began an
attack on the expansionist policy of

Flathead County.

Of the Independent n~-w Ocratic Party o
Flathcail county.
We, the independent democrats 0
Flathead county in convention assem-
bled, hereby affirm our allegiance to tn,
principles of democracy as enunciated il
the democratic platform adopted at Kan
sas City July 4, 1900.
We pledge ourselves to use all honor
able means to secure the election of Will
liam j. Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson az
president and vice president of the
United States, and to abolish all forms
of corruption from the politics of this
state.
We demand the free coinage of botf
gold and silver at the ratio of 1G to by
this government independent of any
other nation.
AS we hold dear the principles of oul
party, chief of which is the right of local
self government. we condemn the So
called state democratic convention at
Helena for its action in refusing to seat
the legally elected representatives OF
more than six thousand democratic vo-
ters in Silver Bow county.
We pledge the nominees of this con
vention to the legislative assembly to
support all justly constructed measures
in accord with the principles herein set
forth.
As improved methods and labor saving
machinery have greatly increased the
productiveness of labor, in order that
labor shall receive its just proportion of
its fruits and that none shall be deprived
of an opportunity to work, we favor the
shortest practical day for those who toll;
we favor eight hours as legal days
work for those engaged in occupations
dangerous to life or health.
We are opposed to allowing the main
tenance of company stores where en-
ployes are compelled to trade.
We demand the passage of law to
abolish and prevent the present system
practiced in this state by railroad cor
porations of employing Asiatic or other
labor through padrone or boss, who
receives Il percentage of the wages of
such employees.
We favor laws to restrict and control
trusts and to abolish monopolies of all
kinds.
We demand the enactment of a law
creating state railroad commission to
regulate rates and prevent discrimina
tion by transportation companies. The
cost of maintaining such commission to
be betrayed by a tax upon such CON-
panies.
Whereas, in the states both east and
west of Montana, upon the line of the
railroads passing through this state, the
maximum railroad passenger fare is
three cents per mile, therefore we de-
mand law fixing the maximum railroad
fare in this state at three cents per mile.
and fixing the maximum sleeping car
charges at a reasonable sum.
To the end that the disgraceful scenes
enacted in the last legislative assembly
may be prevented, We demand a consti.

w. A. Clark denies the infamous New
York Herald interview. The Herald
says the interview was not only correct
but that Clark's language was toned
down, for in it's virgin state it was unfit
for the columns of the Herald. As the
Herald is reputable newspaper Of high
standing, and as Clark was convicted Of
perjury and bribery by the senate com
mittee, his word will not be taken as an
offset to that of the New York Herald by
long chalk.

THE
INDEPENDENT
DEMOCRATIC

HE II ry w {
INDEPENDENT Beecher it was who
DEMOCRATIC said that the activity
TICKET. and soundness of &
mans actions will be determined by the
activity and soundness Of his thoughts
Judged by that criterion, the delegates
to the convention on Saturday last had
been thinking both actively and soundly
They knew what they wanted and they
did it quickly and well. The platform
and resolutions ring true. They embody
what appeals to the conscience Of the
people as right and just. They are not
afraid to approve what is right nor yet
to condemn in the strongest terms what
is wrong.
The county ticket has been immeasur-
ably strengthened by the endorsement
of Saturdays convention. The ticket
can now be voted straight without dan
ger of giving aid and comfort to those
who have stolen the livery of democracy
in which to serve the ends of convicted
briber.
In pursuance of it's policy of approval
of honesty, integrity and good citizen
ship, the convention also approved of
Judge Smiths candidacy. Judge Smith s
record on the bench is unimpeachable.
The delegates who composed Saturday
convention knew that, therefore they
want his reelection.
And as for the Legislative ticket, who
is there that will say it is not the best,
by long Odds ever nominated in this
county? Take an honest republican
around the corner, out of earshot of a
hidebound political fellow in the repub-
lican band wagon, and he will tell you
that three better mon than Messrs Burnes,
Macdonald and Mccarthy can not be
found in Flathead county, and that the
Independent democratic legislative
ticket is at least 66ss per cent better
than the republican legislative ticket
and fully 200 per cent better than the
regular democratic legislative ticket in
this county.
The independent democratic ticket is
one that every honest citizen can vote
with pride and satisfaction. The men
on that ticket stand for the cleansing
process of which the politics of this state
stands SO badly in need. None of them
stand for the erds of any faction or indi-
yidual. Least of all do they stand for
the purposes of w. A. Clark. They will
not be parties to the barter and sale of
honorable offices.
1t is the best kind of ticket, from
top to bottom, and unless the Bee is wo-
fully mistaken concerning the temper of
the voters of Flathead county, the Inde-
pendent democratic ticket is the one
that will win at the polls on the sixth
day of next November.

one of the items Of news in connection with the
disaster was that the ships had been insured by
the owners, and not by insurance companies.
The North German Lloyd assumes a large share
of its marine risks. Amounts equal TO the sums
which would have TO be paid as premiums to in
surance companies are credited regularly to an
insurance fund and out of this fund losses such
as those of the Saale the Main and the Bremen
are paid.
This is practice that has been followed also
for many years by the Cunard the White Star
and other important lines. The property
shore in the shape OF piers, storehouses, eIe-
vators and buildings of various kinds is kept
insured in the ordinary way. but the floating
! roperty is insured by the steamship companies
and in many instances this fund has increased
TO such extent that old vessels have been
enlarged, refitted and improved and new yes
sells built out of the money thus laid aside. II
is generally believed that the Cunarders Lucania
and Campania built from Cunard insur-
ance funds

asking them to return the property to
him. This request has not been com
piled with, and he has instructed his
attorney to prepare n bill in equity to
ask the courts to compel the wardens

over to him. Mr.. Scripps claims that
the church was built and delivered to
the society with the understanding
that no high church services should be
held therein.
This understanding. Mr.. Scripps

DENVER LIKELY TO LOSE THE
G. A. R. NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT

Denver, Colo, Dec. 1S-Grand Army
men Of Denver were profoundly dis
gusted last evening when the telegraph
announced that the council Of admins
tration of the order, in session at st.
Louis. had adjourned until January 81
without naming place for holding the
national encampment. This sentiment
of Grand Army men was shared by
many leading citizens who have been
noting the progress of negotiations
with the view of locating the encamp-
ment.
1t is felt that one man is to blame for
the peculiar position in which the Of
ficers of the encampment now find
themselves. That man is Major Leo
Rassieur, commander-in-chief Of the
Grand Army of the Republic Major
Rassieur has insisted upon pledges
which railroads have never before been
asked to give, and which many of the
leading railway men of the country
have declared to be unnecessary and
unjust. He has demanded that all
roads of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation should sign an ironclad con-
tract, pledgins that they will grant a
rate of ] cent a mile to the encamp-
ment. Three of the leading roads, the
Burlington, Rock Island and Union
Pacific, gave notice that they would
grant the rate desired, but the COM
mander-in-chief was obstinate, and the
meeting of the council adjourned yes
terday leaving the place of the encamp-
ment yet to be settled.
ii. NJ. Orahood, chairman of the COM
mittee present at st. Louis from Colo
rado, telegraphed last evening that the
