HARMONY OR DEFEAT---N HIGH?

The Intern Mountain advsesth The pubHcan Of Silver county to Be IN n o
hurry about accepting III the wild II irresponsible rumWs that are 10Y being
% ndusuiousl circulated fer pay to the effect that TIN Amalgamated Copper
company las taken charge of the republican party n proposes 20 own n con-
troll it etc" etc. justin w Buttes seems to be alive with paid heelers an strikers
most OF them possessing a reputation for political double dealing that would
suffer rim comparison with bad eg, whose sole business is to go about shouting
that Daily n THE Amagamated have gobbled up he republican party. Upon
whH these staements are based is not clear Therein ave been no primaries m
10 onNent held rs yet he nominations have not been made n nc tickets
yet in the field. Perhaps it would be better ito wait a Ii theand see what truth
there is in these loose nega cations before accepting as gospel truth III this gossip.
There are a good many staunc republicans in Silver Bow county who a y
here many years. Some of them are in he employ of the mining mpan
and some are not They have had a good deal to say as to the affairs off, the re-
parys affairs thisy veal. That the mining concerns here will also w some
tamg to say w have 10 doubt. They nave g intHests at stake in on way or
n each is trying to get he best of it.. 5G
In a community like this where a very large part O thev voters IRE in he I'M
py OF the mining orporaton it is inevitable hat man o. Inc candidates on
III tickets houd b selected from the ranks of these employees. 1t a always
been so in he past NJ doubt will continue. Because a man appen to b
working for a corporaton is n reason why he should be disranrhied. or why
he should Tot be a candidate for office. n tn fac that he is sue III nOt b
aken as indicating tina he is owned body n soul by the company for whom
ne Is orkn 1t W. adopt sucha conclusion AS this, then W e nus apply it II
III anddates who may happen to be employed by the mining companies, n

w hope. N W re fuye expect to see the republicans of Silver Bw county
this year as IN the past take charge of their artya affairs ms nominate a ticket
will represent al elemensa an a IL classes of the party N whchw will com
mand the confidence n support of h voters. That there wiz be suife for III
nominations goes without saying There always u.s. and it will be keener this year
because republicans STEEL hat, in he very nature of the situation hey ought to
succeed. This they cam. will do if hey Will not permit themselves to be
split u p by those o have private n company interests ito subserve.
Tina what is called the "Amalgamated.' will AXE charge OF the republican
party W e o nt believe. W years g the Amagamated or "FImA' democrats

strong today as then,a n that tey will win again tisy yea unless republicans
