HELEkA NEW S..

4 l\S " ~
| week to conform to changing conditions,
| and finally excited the ire of Speaker
| Corbett by his last introduction of the
| body representing the honorable state;'
so the speaker sent word to the SER
geant- alarms that the joint session is
| not a vaudeville performance, nor is
prize fight supposed to be pulled off in
the assembly chambers at noon of each
day. Since then the humor has been
kept in Mr.. McKay's think tank, and
even Representative Baker has looked
snubbed.
Senator Myers managed to kill STAN
toms fellow servant bill and now the
house has killed Myers bill. Result:
Enough knives sharpened and ready for
action to kill any old kind of fellow
servant bill for the remainder of The
| session.
| AS the appropriation bill for
$4,000 exhibit at the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo was laid in It's
grave today, Senator Courtney softly
hunmed. Fifteen Cents in My Inside
Pocket and Senator Clark chanted.
Let Me OF at Buffalo" This idea
originated with Mr.. Cole, of Great Falls,
who recently lost his hat.
At a recent meeting of the committee
clerks, Miss Mcdonald was elected to
the responsible position of chaperon
over the young ladies handling the
typewriter Since then Miss Mcdonald
has received many invitations TO chap
eron a party of two, of which she would
| from one.
The number of bills so far introduced
in the house has been 141. and in the
senate 90. The governor has signed Z.
This is really not a good showing. but
the charitably inclined should just
! think of the fool bills that have been
KILLED off, and rest Satisfied.
His men have promised him their sup
port until he gives them permission to
! flock to the standard of some other can
didate. In this they are doing their duty.
| 1t is Mr.. Cooper on whom I: SITS the en-
| tire blame for assisting in the cOntin-
uation of this deadlock. 1t may be that
with Mr.. Cooper out of the race, the
deadlock would continue. but that does
not take off his shoulders the censure
resting there now. The probability is
that with Cooper out of the contest a
caucus could be forced and the deadlock
ended. Then the state would have two
senators for the first time in two years.
1t is I'D to Mr.. Cooper.
The caucus talk still continues, but it
| is understood that despite the threats Of
! the MacGinnis faction to name dark
horse. to whom the legislature will be
drawn as by a powerful magnet, the
| Frank forces will not enter a caucus I'M
! til the field is cleared for action by the
| withdrawal of Cooper and the remainder
| of the petty candidates.
1t is claimed that the continuation of
the deadlock is giving Senator Clark a
| good deal of concern. Before he left
Helena last week. it is said, he let Mr..
| Heinze know that the election of any Of
five men in addition to the candidates
| now in the field would give him salts
| faction. These five, as named, are Sen
| ator Hoffman. John S. NJ Neill, A. f..
Spriggs. Paris Gibson or Governor
| Hauser.
With only two weeks of the session
| remaining, every move on the political
| checkerboard becomes of intense inter-
est. Mr.. Frank has shown his generosi-
ty and manliness by declaring that when
he becomes satisfied he cannot be elected
by honorable means he is willing to with
| draw in favor of any other man whom
his supporters think capable of filing
!
| supporters, however. assert to a man
! that they will vote for nobody but Frank
whether he should see fit to withdraw or
| not, on account of the despicable trick
! cry which has been employed in the eff
| fort to defeat him, and there are many
| willing to wager considerable sums that
the short-term senatorial chair will be
occupied by Mr.. Frank before the two
| weeks are concluded
