A Washington correspondent who is
usually we'll informed on all political
schemes Matching at the nations CAPT
tai is authority for the statement that
Senator Platt of New York is active
ly engaged in furthering a plan he
entertains for the final and complete
interment of the hopes the vice pres
ident may entertain for further ad-
vancement. The "easy boss" is cred
tied with quietly laying wires for the
benefit of Governor Odell of the EN-.
pire state and preparing to bring him
out as the New York candidate for
the presidency in 1904. The plan, as
outlined by the correspondent, is that
Odell is to be renominated for his
present position next year and that
some conservative member of the Plat
machine is to succeed the boss" as
United States senator at the conclu-
sion of his present term.
The correspondent says the story
is generally believed at Washington
especially by the republican leaders
who have heard it. The opinion seems
to prevail that Plat Is making his

CONFIDENT TRUST MAeNATE

Omaha Bee: In a late interview
President Havemeyer of the American
Sugar Refining company confidently
declared: What we want above all
things is free raw sugar and we are
going to get it. That will prove a
great blessing for the country at large
and it is coming l do not think the
opposition Of the beet sugar people
will amount to anything" 1t would be
interesting to know upon what the
head Of the Sugar trust bases his con-
fidence that Cuban sugar will be ad-
mitted to the American market free
of duty. So far as we have observed
no republican in congress has advo-
Gated that course. Some of them
have expressed the opinion that it will
be expedient to show some tariff favor
to Cuban sugar, but with the qualif-
cation that proper consideration be
given to the American sugar industry.
We think it may safely be said that
not a republican member of the senate
or house will support a proposition to
admit the raw sugar of Cuba free.
Mr.. Havemeyer processes to believe
that free raw sugar would prove a
great blessing for the country at large.
There is no doubt that it would prove
a very great benefit to the Sugar trust,
but the president of that corporation
will find it extremely difficult to salts
fly anyone not interested in the welfare
of the trust that a policy which would
inevitably destroy the domestic sugar
industry would be a blessing to the
country at large
The beet sugar people, who include
many farmers in more than a dozen
states, simply ask that the industry
which was created and has grown to
very considerable proportions under
republican policy shall not now be
struck down in the interest of the
sugar planters of Cuba. There is very
strong reason to believe that a repub-
lican congress will give heed to this
appeal.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-08-13

wants to inform the republicans of
the western states that it will be USE
less for them to entertain any hope
of nominating Roosevelt for the pres
idency.
While the story may be true, and
probably is, Plat may find that he
has run up against a snag when the
time comes for carrying his plans into
operation. The western republicans
will have something to say when the
convention meets and they may not
yield the ready acquiescense the
"boss" is figuring on. This does not
mean that in 1904 the west will de-
mand the nomination of Roosevelt, but
should such be it's desire the strength
of Platt as a dominating influence in
national affairs Of the party is likely
to be put to a much severer test than
any yet demanded of it. The party in
the west is continually growing and
it's wishes in regard to national mat
tiers must be accorded more consid-
Grafton than it has received in the
past. This may not be pleasing to
the men of the extreme east, es-
pecially New York, who have not yet
learned to regard the west and it's in
f1uence and power at their true worth.
In this connection reference to the
west is intended to include that por-
ton of the country lying on this side
of the Alleghenies and which the New
Workers and others of the region be,
You'd still consider as the home of
the buffalo and the savage. With the
conceit ever characteristic of the men
from the Empire state anything be-
yond the western limits of the, con
fines of their w commonwealth and
the territory Immediately adjacent is
to be merely regarded with tolerance
as something of no moment or ac-
count. This holds good in political
and other affairs and they refuse to
enlighten their minds and ac-
cept the change of conditions which
is continually being wrought. Some
day they will awaken to a proper real.
ization Of the situation when it may
be too late for them to profit by the
knowledge gained.

PLEA FOR UNITY.

Before another number of The Ga.
zette shall have made it's appearance
the question of issuing bonds for the
construction of a new city hall will
have been settled. The citizens will
have decided whether they want a new
building. one in keeping With the
city's standing and Importance, or
whether they are satisfied with the
present structure and believe it to be
good enough for while longer. The
position of this newspaper on the
proposition is too we'll known to need
definition at this time. 1t was one of
the first to advocate the Improvement
and at all times has been one of the
most earnest and persistent promoters
of what it believes to be a public neces-
sity and has never seen any reason
why it should change it's attitude. 1t
has the satisfaction of knowing that
with but very few exceptions it has
had the support and endorsement of
every public spirited and progressive
citizen in. the fight it has been making
on the proposition.
The only opposition that has mani
tested itself has come from persons
prompted by mistaken notions and
ideas, people who feared they saw in
the agitation a scheme for the ag-
g%randizement and benefit of a certain
portion of the city and to the conse-
quent detriment and injury of another.
In fact their entire line of argument
has been based on this ground by ap-
pealing to selfishness and envy have
sought to make friends for their side.
While they may have succeeded in
making a few votes by converting
some people, The Gazette has too
much confidence in the good sense
and loyalty of it's fellow citizens to
believe that in a matter of so much
Importance and vital interest to the
community at large as the one under
discussion petty jealousy will be per-
mitted to cut much of a figure as to
the final results. 1t believes that the
good sense of the people will prevail
and that in the election today all will
vote as citizens of Billings and for
the best interests of the place they
call home and which they desire to
see ever headed in the direction of
progress and advancement and that
loyalty and public s%piritedness will
prevail over personal animosity and
puerile jealousy.

THEIR PALE FACE FIR

Former Congressman and His Indian
Constituency-Southern Election.
A few evenings ago, while being
entertained by a party Of Billings
gentlemen, the Hon. George W. Mel
keljohn, who served four years under
President Mckinley as assistant sec
rotary of war, became somewhat
reminiscent in matters with which he
had to do politically during the past
dozen years.
Mr.. Meikeljohn served three terms
from a Nebraska district in congress
before he entered the wal Office at
Washington. His al one of the
most interesting of all the congress
sionau districts in the country. Three
bands of Indians in Nebraska had
gained the right of elective franchise
and to control the votes of these
aboriginies was a problem which Mr..
Meikeljohn was faced to solve. The
three tribes contained a voting popu-
lation of 1900 and held the balance
of power, for the district outside of
the Indian country was about evenly
divided politically. Mr.. Meikeljohn
first studied the cunningness of the
Indian and then proceeded to adapt
himself to the liking of the red voters
as near as possible. In a vote getting
campaign into the Indian country he
always first provided himself with the
usual supply of trinkets, which take
the fancy of an Indian. In addition
to these he carried thousands Of
cheroots, an inexpensive grade of
cigars. He visited the wigwams and
