WINDING UP

Closing Hours of the Cam

CLARK ON THE RUN
The Briber and the Mining Pirate,
Heinze, Are Hunting Tall
Timber.

Butte, Oct 4.-Silver Bow county
is the BATTLE ground where is being
fought out the struggle of the last
hours of the campaign. Nearly all
principal workers for the various tick
cts are here also. Clark, Sovereign
and Ferguson, pretty trio, indeed,
are they; Kelley and Hogan are here;
Folsom, Murray and Porter, and other
republicans are here. Generally
speaking, the campaign of the state
closed Thursday, but there will be
still some speaking tomorrow. In
Butte on Monday night the republi-
cans are to have parade.
In many respects the week which
has just come to close has been a
remarkable one, from political
standpoint. 1t was the last week OF
the campaign and all par les made
the most of it. The marvellous dem
onstrations in honor of Hogan and
Kelley throughout the state have in
creased in magnificance until at the
close they attained the proportions of
ovations. Never before in the his
tory of the state have the candidates
for important offices been given such
vast thrOngs of people, and never be-
fore have expressed sentiments from
the platform found such ready and
complete endorsement as have those
uttered by Mr.. Hogan and Mr.. Kel-
ley Clearly the people have made
up their minds that these men are
honest men, that they stand for de-
cency and responsibility in politics
and are men who, when elected will
serve no one man, but will devote
their energies to the welfare of the
entire state.
One notable feature of the closing
week of the campaign was the facil-
ity and rapidity with which the Clark
ties switched from one tissue" to
another. They started out with the
Standard Oil kerosene and Amalga-
mated bogie and when they found that
the people could not be HOODWINKED
by any such nonsense, they switched
to the company store. They print
ed lot of shinplasters which they,
without the least warrant, said were
used in the commpany stores of the
Amalgamated company. Promptly
there came from Arizona the real,
genuine fiat money which is the only
currency in circulation in Clark's own
town of Jerome, and which there,
even at Clarlx's own company store,
does not pass at par Accompany
ing the money came the story, COM
plete in it's every detail, and substan-
tsated by the testimony of upright
citizens, who ~know whereof they
speak, the story of the wretchedness
which prevails in miserable, Clark
burdened, company-store-ri zen Jer-
ONE, where the miners seldom, if ever
handle single piece of legal tender
and where Clark discredits the money
he himself issues. The mask being
torn from the company store and the
fiat money tissue" the Clarlxites
switched from one thing to the other
until they finally came to the point
of personal abuse of Marcus Daily.
And right there is just where the
Clarks made the biggest mistake of
all the mistakes they have made in
this campaign. They thought that
because Mr.. DAILY was absent from
the state, and unable to be here in
person, their insults and Infamous
abuse would find favor in certain
quarters. But a greater error was
never made by politicians as notori-
ously stupid as Clark's agents are. AS
soon as the Briber's hired traducers
began their personal attacks upon
Mr.. Daily the whole state, as one man,
rose up in arms and declared they
would never without emphatic pro-
vilified. Immediately speakers arose
in every quarter to defend the name
of the one, beyond all others to
whom Montana owes her prosperity
and wealth, and development of her
resources. Men know too we'll what
Marcus Daily has done for the state
of Montana to permit Marcus Daly's
name to be bruited about by these
irresponsible Clark strappers without
prompt and vigorous resentment. But
