MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP.

No republican should be induced to
vote for democratic candidate because
of his personal friendship for that cam
didate. The issue is too important to
allow personal friendships to come in.
1t is said that the democrats, with de-
feat staring them in the face, are en-
deavoring to save one of the minor
offices by such personal appeals, which
should fall on deaf ears. There is not
one candidate upon the whole democratic
ticket who is superior, in point of fitness
for the office, to any republican canll-
date.
Moreover, this is one time in the his
tory of Butte when the election of every
republican on the ticket is imperatively
demanded, and the majority cannot be
too big. That is the way to make the
lesson effective. The republican mayor
should be backed up by a republican
council and by republican departments,
SO that an end can be made at once
of extravaganza, incompetence, filtli.-
streets and all the other crying evils
that the city is burdened with.
Friends of good government should
vote the republican ticket straight or,
Monday. 1t is worthy of their supper,
from top to bottom.
Make a clean sweep.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans of the city of Butte in
convention assembled, view with pardon
able pride the past history of the republi-
can party, and feel assured that such
past history is a guaranty Of its future
actions.
We begin the twentieth century with
republican national administration, ut
whose head are the two great repre-
sentative American citizens, William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
We arraign the democratic party of
the city of Butte for its utter misman-
agement and incompetency in the affairs
of municipal government, as shown by
their utter disregard for public health,
furnishing to us nothing but dirty
streets
For their contempt for public morals,
g. shown by the open and notorious vio-
ler.ors OF law in the city Of Butte.
For their lack of a proper apprecia-
t,ou of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government. as shown by their in
competent and inefficient police regula-
tions in the city of Butte.
For their inefficient police officers who
have become but the mere political no
chine Of the present administration, as
shown by their open and flag"ant advo-
cacy of politics ratha" IAN the atten-
ton to public dut--.
For their 4allure to provide suitable
ordinar-es to improve the condition of
-. community, thus failing to insure
condition of advantage to which every
citizen is entitled.
For their open and notorious disregard
of the fact that public Office is a
public trust, as demonstrated by the
fact that the present democratic city
administration believe that "a public
Office is a private snap"
The republican party, as in the past,
assures the citizens of Butte that in the
future it's actions, and the actions of its
promises, If elected to Office. will follow
those principles of government which
are best calculated to advance the inter-
ests of the city of Butte.
We favor the better enforcement OF
law. and the advancement of good order
and morals of the community in which
We live.
We are in favor of clean public thor.
oughfares.
We favor a police force made up OF
competent persons.
We favor municipal improvements
such as will make Butte "the metropolis
of the west"
We favor the enactment of such or.
dinances as will deal justly with al
persons, whether in private or bushes:
life
Ne favor the enactment of such or
di1ances as will levy just and euua
AVIATION upon all persons engaged in tn,
same class of business.
We favor the principles of government
which would select public officials be
cause of their efficiency rather than be
cause of political pull"
." the end that these principles o
government may be put into operation
we ask the cooperation and support, 0
every citizen of Butte to secure the cleo
tion of the republican nominees Of tn

LET EVERY REPUBLICAN DO HIS
DUTY.

The republicans of Butte assemble for
the fight this spring under happy condi-
TONS There is not break in the ranks,
nor single faction. but one party solid
and united. The differences that existed
in the past have all been healed and
they are all welded together in a COM
mon cause.
The election on Monday is of great inn
portance to Butte. Certain reforms that
are essential to the well-being of the city
and to it's progress can only be hoped FOR
as result of republican success, because
the democratic party is practically
pledged against them. The election is
also of great Importance to the republic.
cans for it's effect upon the state. A
victory in Butte will be the start towards
a victory in the state and the redemp-
ton of Montana from the control of po-
litical nondescripts having no high pri,.-
ciples at stake and allied only for per-
sonal gains. 50
! The outlook for the republican party

tory won on Monday will signal the
beginning of victories all along the line

DEMOCRATIC COLONIZATION
SCHEME.

From today's developments, it is quite
apparent that the democratic managers
are preparing to resort to fraud and
crime to increase their vote on Monday.
The details of a colonization scheme are
given in the local columns, and no more
brazen or impudent attempt to pollute
the ballot has been made in Montana.
But it will avail the democracy nothing,
In the first place, should all of these tools
be allowed to carry out their criminal
purpose and vote, it would not affect the
result. And in the second place, not one
Of the colonize1s will be permitted to vote.
They have all been located by the repub-
lican committee and just as sure as they
attempt to perpetrate a crime against the
ballot, just so sure will they land in jail,
where they belong. Nor is that all. The
men behind the scheme, who are, in real
ity, the greater criminals, will not be al
! lowed to escape the ignominy that is
their due.
The time has gone by when the cleo
torate of Montana can be corrupted with
mpunity and we look to see this fragrant
an dastardly attempt in the city of Butte
repudiated by all decent democrats.

The Anaconda Standards editorial re-
porter takes another shy at the Butte
campaign this morning and renews his
absurd assault upon Judge Sullivan.
The editorial reporter cannot understand
why Mr.. Sullivan, as police judge. did
not usurp the powers of the democratic
mayor, the democratic city council. the
democratic police department and the
whole democratic administration AMI
put an end to gambling and grating by
abandoned women. The editorial re-
porter makes no attempt to answer a
single charge made against the present
administration, and falls back upon the
'your another" argument of the small
boy. Referring to the fact that Mayor
Mccarthy was repudiated by the demo-
cratic convention. the editorial reporter

FOR VOTERS TO REMEMBER.

In considering how they should vote
on Monday, there are a few things for
the citizens of Butte to remember. They
should first bear in mind the sort of an
administration the city has had for the
past two years, and the innumerable
evidences of its utter incompetency.
they have seen many of the offices filled
by men who seem to have been appoint
ca without the slightest regard to their
fitness for those positions. They have
seen it demonstrated that with this add
njnistration even an alleged political
pull is Of more account than the highest
order of merit.
The citizens have complained con-
stantly and justly of the filthy streets.
They have seen a police department
where incompentency reaches its limit
where organization is unknown, and
where the intelligent efforts of a few
competent men are nullified by the
bdngling stupidity of the majority.
The citizens have been oppressed by
high taxes, receiving practically moth
ing in return except tax receipts.
They have seen slp-shod methods
running all through the democratic ad-
n,inistration, and have noted the entire
absence Of civic pride.
--ctention is called to these things
orce more because they have received
the enthusiastic Endorsement of the
democratic convention The platform
on which the democratic candidates
stand insolently points with pride to the
filthy Streets incompetency of the police
department and extravaganza every
where. mo change from present meth
DDS is their rallying cry.
On Monday the taxpayers will have
their opportunity to administer a long.
delayed and thoroughly deserved re.
luke. They ought to make it so EN-
rhatic that any return to the methods
that have disgraced the city for tw,
years past will never again be contem
plated by any political party.
The voters will have high duty rest
ing upon them on Monday-a duty in
volving the greater prosperity and hap
r,ness of this city. Let no one fail t
| discharge if

JUDGE SULLIVAN AND THE PRES
ENT ADMINISTRATION.

With democratic mayor at the head
of the administration, democratic
council to back him up. a democrat at
the head of the police department and
that department mere annex to the
democratic machine. the Anaconda Stand
ard has the cheek to single out Judge
Sullivan as the one who is responsible
for the failure to enforce the law against
gambling. So utterly absurd is the Stand
ards attack that it completely answers
itself. The absurdity of it. however,
does not explain the malice and men,
dacity that inspired the attack. because
the Standard fully understands how
powerless Judge Sullivan is to shape the
policies of the present democratic admin
istration, how small part of the admin
istration he is, and further that the
matters complained of are entirely outs
side of his province, jurisdiction or con-
troll Perhaps. however, in declaring that
these responsibilities should be borne by
Judge Sullivan. the Standard means to
indicate. in delicate way. that he ought
to be elected mayor. On that theory it's
otherwise irreconcilabie statements may
be harmoniZed.
Judge Sullivan is not only invulnerable
he is invincible. His record as an
official is one of the very few things con-
nected with the present administration
| that the people are proud of and his life
| as citizen is above reproach.
| He stands for law and order. for pro-
gress without extravaganza, for a clean
city and for an honest. faithful and
capable administration.
| A standard bearer altogether worthy
of the great party that has honored him
| is Judge James c. Sullivan.
