with music. Then there were cries FOR e.
D. Mats. Mr.. Mats was seated with the
Deer Lodge delegation n in response to
the calls arose to his feet and began
framing an excuse for not making an adj
dress. The delegates, however. woul
not listen to him and, after gesticulating
on the floor for nearly five minutes, Mr..
Mats was forced to the platform where
ne made a fiery speech. Mr.. Mats said
in part:
There is one duty we have to perform
here and that is first to demonstrate to
the pepole of Montana that every man in
this convention is a democrat from top
to bottom. And I a to see this con-
vention indorse the Bryan presidential
electors now in the field, so that there can
be no question of our democracy. When
that is done there is another duty before
us n that Is to purge the democratic
party of Montana and sustain the good
name of the state. The paramount issue
man who was kicked out of the United
States senate. That is the main issue.
Let the party purify it's name, rather
than again e to the senate a man who
will surely be kicked out again.
"This matter was taken to the highest
tribunal, the senate of the United States,
and every charge made was sustained.
Following came his resignation and then
the telegram of defiance to Montana that
he would be indicated. Can his millions
atone for past crimes That is the ques-
ton before the people of Montana. So
unjust n unfair was the recent demo-
cratic state convention that it threw out
the delegates from Silver Bow, Meagher
n Ravalli counties. Two years ago I
spoke in his city more than once for the
men who were thrown out of that con-
vention. I know the fight they made.
They defeated the Clark democrats, pop
ulists and republicans combined and
elected the whole ticket. They constitute
80 per cent. of the democrats of Silver
Bow county. Do you think the demo-
Gratis of Deer Lodge would stand the
throwing u of these men? There was no
other course to pursue. We organized an
independent democratic party and we
will gO before the people with a ticket
that will be satisfactory to the state and
will not be burdened with n mans vim
dication. The people of this state do not
realize what they are sacrificing for this
v1ndicatiOn. The state ticket, the county
tickets, are J~eopardized everywhere. This
mans vindication Is placed above the
harmony and the success of the party
n the Offices democrats are entitled to.
Think of the ridicule and shame Montana
Is receiving from all over the country
They are wondering If the people of Mon
tana are SO corrupt hat they will vindi
cate a man who has been found guilty
of this crime? Every man in the state
must take the standard of democracy in
his hand and fight for the good citizen
ship of Montana"
Chas. s. Hartman was called for. Mr..
Hartman also devoted his remarks large
ly to W. A. Clark. He thought the

shall enrich the unused domain Of the
state and create prosperity among our
people.
We extend our sympathy and adnmira-
tion to the South African republics which
have fought such a Gallant fight for liber-
ty and right against Overwhelming odds.
and we condemn the present republican
administration for its refusal to extend
it's sympathy to these republican in their
hour of distress.
\ We commend the bravery, fortitude
and devotion to the flag of their country
shown by the men of Montana and their
comrades from other states who in the
late war responded so promptly to their
country's call, and we are proud of their
achievements OF the battlefields made
glorious by their Deeds. We tender our
sympathy to the relatives of those who
died in the service, and assure them that
history will record their deeds upon it's
brightest pages. =.
K We favor a graduated income tax.
We denounce the republican national
administration for it's silent acquiescence

with coolie labor from Japan and Other
oriental countries, imported by individ-
uals and corporations under contract, in
violation of law, to take the place of
American labor.
4 We heartily Endorse the present state
administration, save and except the ac-
ton of the lieutenant governor in his
pretended appointment of a United States
senator, which act we denounce in un-
measured terms.
* We heartily indorse the faithful serv-
ices of our representative in congress,
Hon. A. J. Campbell, and especially do
we commend him for being Instrumental
in excluding a briber from the halls of

that he could have rendered no greater
service to the state of Montana than in
prosecuting to a successful issue the un-
seating of William A. Clark.
Then followed the nominations. Nomi-
nations for congressman Were called.
Guy w. Stapleton of Silver Bow placed
c. F. Kelley OF Silver Bow IN nominal
ton. Mr.. Loeb of Lewis and Clarke made
an able ~seeonding speech. Then the roll
of counties was called and each delega-

THE RESOLUTIONS.

The independent democrats of Montana,
in convention assembled, resolve:
+ That We ratify aid affirm the declara-
ton of principles n policies promulgat-
ed by the democratic national convention
assembled at Kansas City on July 4, last,
n pledge u earnest and hearty sup
port to William j. Bryan and Adlai e.
Stevenson and to the principles they rep
resent.
I'VE reaffrm our old-time allegiance to
the democratic platform of 1896 as reaf-
firmed by the national democratic plat
form of 1900.
We are u%nqualiiedly in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to l, without
waiting for the aid or consent Of any 9TH
err nation and we recognize in William
j. Bryan, that matchless tribune of the
people, the greatest living exponent of
the principle of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver, as we'll as of
Severy other democratic principle. x
1--WE condemn the action of the delegates
in the national democratic convention
from the state of Montana for their re-
fusal, by the act of their members of the
committee on resolutions, to vote in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver, in the committee on resolu-
tiOns, and for their action in voting for
a. gold standard candidate for the office
of vice-president of the United States.
we are IN FAVOR OF nome rule IN poll

late so-called democratic state conven-
ton in refusing seats to the regularly
elected democratic delegations from Sill

Such action was arbitrary, undemocratic
and subversive of every principle of right
and justice. The voice of the people is

said: ~ :
THAT woman is only one of a class
OF many in Chicago and other large
cities. They are not professional
thieves; they arc not lxleptomaniacs:
1 don't believe in that sort of thing;
they como from well-to-do people.
Why do they stealp The whole trouble
In right here-the inordirate desire to
get something for nothing. Ninety
nine out OF 100 Of the women who try
to steal from this store are amply able
to buy all the goods they want. We
handle them all In about the way that
this woman was handled this morn
ing. Now, II 1 sent her to the police
station, and she had been tried and
fined or sent to the bridewen, It would
have ruined her for life. She would
have been disgraced, and after that
she would not have cared what she
did. 1t was all bluff, that sending
for the patrol wagon. She thinks we
bave her picture for the rogues' gal
lerys That camera Is dummy. But
all these things have their effect. She
was thoroughly frightened, and I do
not believe she Yil1 ever steal again.
Why did 1 make her sign the 'confes-
sion bookT That protects us. No one
will bring suit for damages against US

There are women In this city who
would Come in our store and pretend
to steal just for the purpose Of get.
ting us to bring them up here and &C.
cuse them. Then when we didn't find
anything on them they would bring
suit for damages against us. And they
would find plenty of so-called law
yers to bring action for half Of tho
prospective damages So, you see, We
are very careful not to make any
mistakes.
We have reliable women In our en-.
ploy whose only business is to move
about among the shoppers and keep
an eye out for shop-lifters. They have

iday season we employ private detec-
tives, and the city also sends over all
we ask for. No, sir, the professional
thieves do not bother us much. The
stealing all comes-that Is nearly all
of it-from people who do not have
to steal"
This is one of the finest stores in
Chicago. The experience in some of
the cheaper places differed consider
ably. In one of the large department
stores the principal difficulty seemed
to be with the professional women
shop-lifters. They make their living
by stealing, and are very sharp and
hard to detect. Their dresses are full
in the skirt and have immense peck
cts on either side. Into these capa-
cious pockets they readily drop all
kinds OF articles. They have been
even known 20 conceal g sealskin
jacket. They generally travel in pairs,
and one engages the saleswoman and
keeps a keen lookout for the house
detectives, while the other slows away
the goods. Their greatest handicap
is that they are nearly all known to
the city detectives. For this reason.
during the holiday season, when the
Central men are stationed in the
stores, these thieves go to other cit
les where they are not so we'll known,
and in their places other shop-hfters
come here.
"ShoP-lfters," repeated one OF the
heutenants at Central police station.
why, bless you, there are hundreds
OF them loose at holiday and festival
times 1t is their harvest. We had
10 lined up downstairs one morning.
Sent them all to Harrison street sta
ton. Don't keep women here, you
know. L have 60 men out in the
downtown district in the stores and
OF the streets, looking after shop
lifters and pickpookets. Bless you,
sometimes they are almost as thick
as the genuine shoppers"
