Big Bolt Of Montlna Democrats Known
as Daily Faction.

HELENA. Mont. Sept 1s.-Three
state conventions met here today. the
Democratic. Populist and Labor party.
The latter progressed only to the stage
OF temporary organization and adjourn
ed until tomorrow.
The Democratic convention made
more headway and wound up in the
evening by bolt Of S. delegates. The
men who left the convention are known
as the DAILY faction Of the Democratic
party Of the state. There is mem
bership Of 4S1 in the convention and the
bolters with half dozen scattering
exceptions were members OF the Deer
Lodge county delegation.
The vote on the report Of the commit
tee on credentials showed 81 opposed
and 2se in favor of the action of the
convention.
Walter Cooper. of Bozeman. was both
temporary and permanent chairman of
the convention. which adopted a plat
form at the night session which was
quite lengthy. The resolutions specif-
cally demand the free coinage Of sill
yer. They also endorsed the services of
Senator W. A. Clark as a member of
the senate and demand his reelection
by the legislature to meet next Janu-
ary.
The convention appointed a commit
tee of five to confer with similar COM
mittees from the Populist and Labor
parties to effect a working agreement
and division Of the ticket. The other
conventions win do likewise tomorrow.
The delegates who left the Democratic
convention met in another han and
discussed at some length their course
of action. Their complaint against the
regular convention was that the con-
vention had acted unfairly in the mat
ter of seating contestants.
1t was decided to prepare a statement
of their grievances and present it to
the meeting to be held tomorrow. With
the delegates who walked out Of the
Democratic convention assembled all
those who had claimed seats. known as
DAILY Democrats, and number Of 9TH
ers who had no claims to seats, but
were in sympathy with the action.
