TuE CAPITOL, Hill. PR

Some of our fellow-citizens residing on
Capitol Hill complain that some of the
prisoners in the old Capitol are allowed a
little too enlarged an area of freedom In
some respects. The guards very properly
are strict in preventing outsiders from
standing about the prison. peeping in at
the windows or talking to the prisoners;
but passers-by are frequently reviied by
the rebel prisoners at the windows, and
sometimes are called by names hard to en-

INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED TO REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES.

Before starting out on their campaign
trips through the county, each repu-
blican candidate was cautioned to
drill into the minds of the voters of the
county that they were not connected in
any way with what is ordinarily term
ed the Lyndes faction ard that that
faction had nothing whatever to do
with the republican party of Rosebud
county. From all reports there is no
doubt that a great effort was made by
all the candidates to impress this fact
upon everyone whom they met but with
how much success is not known as it is
an old story and never yet found to be
true.
Let us consider if the facts, as they
appear, warrant such statements. It
is not to be denied that Mr.. J. c..
Lyndes controlled both the republican
primaries and convention at least, in
order to secure Mr.. Lyndes influence
it seemed to have been thought neces-
sary to give to Mr.. ]. c. Lyndes a pro-
mise that he would be taken care of in
case Mr.. Gibson was elected, and to
Mr.. Wallace Lyndes the promise that
he would be made deputy sheriff in
case the republican ticket was success
full.
Further than this not single republi-
can conference has been held since the
convention, in which Mr.. ]. G. Lyndes
has not taken an active part and all
the work undertaken by the republican
party in that time has been superin-

Get Your "Mhuck."

Already a large amount of money
has been received in Rosebud county
to be corruptly used in the present
election. These funds are supplied by
the Amalgamated Copper Co., which
has absolute control of the republican
party in this state, and are intended
for use in desperate attempt to elect
the republican Legislative ticket.
Very little of it, however, is likely
to be disbursed, as it will, as usual,
fall into the hands Of a clique which
will divert it to individual purpose
alone. This money, nevertheless, is
here, every republican is entitled to a
generous share, and we will say to our
republican friends if they don't get
their "whack' they will know some-
body is "holding out" on them. This
kind of work has been tolerated for
years, but the boys should now call a
halt and insist upon fair division of
the Doodle.
Assistant District Attorney Bailey,
one of Tom Carter's political hucksters,
is in town today. He may be found at
the Forsyth State Bank.
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-10-30

to that amount and this amount was
a balance in that fund of little over
$+50O.OO to pay over $5OOO.OO of war
rants issued that month. Needless to
say some of them were marked mot
paid for lack Of funds.''
1t was also stated that "o1 dagos
registered in Forsyth in one day and
none of them showed their papers.
AS Mr.. Cole is editor of the Times
and Mr.. Lyndes the pretended leader
of the republican party, we address
you particularly and say to you that
you both knew positively, at the time
you wrote this article, that it was abb
solutely false. There has been offered
two rewards of $4,000 each for every
man who is illegally registered. From
your own statement there are 22men so
registered and a chance for you to
make $440O OO-why do you not accept
it?
The statement that old citizens, as
Mr.. Waddingham, Mr.. Tadsen and
Mr.. Austin were required to show
their papers is undoubtedly true for in
this matter, as in all others, the regis
try agent has complied with the law.
For your knowledge we give herewith
the section of the election laws govern
ing this:-
Section 1912. When a naturalizcd
citizen applies for registration his GER
| tifcate of naturalization or a certified
copy thereof must be produced and
stamped, or written in ink by the
registry agent with such registry
agents name and the year and day and
county where presented etc.
| If you will take the trouble TO look
into the matter you will find that every
naturalized citizen, whatever his po1i-
tics, was requiredto present his papers
in order that the law could be complied
with.
In private convers alton several lead
Ing republicans have acknowledged
that they thought the registration at
Forsyth has been clean and fair and
yet their official organ is allowed to
blacken the character of the registry
agent, in whom everyone, both demo-
Gratis and republicans alike, have
every confidence. When asked why
they allow such thing, the only reply
| is that they are not responsible for
what appears in the paper.

Finch For Coroner

The office of county coroner is inn
portant in rnanyrespects. While in the
ordinary course of events there is little
to attract attention to the coroper's
office, there are from time to time mat
ters which bring it into prominence
and cause the people to inquire con-
cerning the character and ability of
the man who fills the position. In
placing N. O. Finch upon their ticket
for coroner the Democrats of Rosebud
county did so with the firm belief and
knowledge that he is we'll quail fed for
the position and will conduct the affairs
of the Office with credit to himself and
satisfactorily to the public. Remem-
ber, the horrors of an accidental death
will be reduced to minimum for Cor
oner Finch will ''sit" upon you.

LOOK OUT !!

1t is commonly reported and general
1y accepted as true that few nights
ago number of drunken Italians were
secured, taken to the republican head
quarters, presented each with a bottle
of whiskey and $500, and made to
sign certain affidavits of what nature
is not known. 1t is presumed these
affdavits are to be autographed and
scattered broadcast over the county.
We wish to anticipate this great politi.
cal move of Mr.. J. c. Lyndes, and at
the same time warn the taxpayers to
look out for all such tricks between now
and election. Having lost all hopes of
winning, the republican party is
resorting to desperate means.

The question now arises why is it
that the republican candidates, are
ashamed to acknowledge, out in the
county, that Mr.. Lyndes is a republi

sci and advice in all matters and bow
to his dictation.
There is an old allegory that calls
attention to the fact that five drops of

Are the republican candidates afraid
their spotless characters would be

AFEW MORE FALSEH00DSExP0
LyDdes and His lIk Circulating 9nother Batch
of Misrepresentation.

Since the opening of this campaign
it has been the object of this paper to
make as clean political fight as was
possible and to leave out of the cam
paign all personalities of whatsoever
nature. We regret to say that the pa
per which is supported by the republi-
can party and which is supposed to
represent their opinions and beliefs
has seen fit to take an entirely op-
posite course and to stop short of moth
ing which a vile and irresponsible pen
could write. Heretofore we have paid
but little attention to any statements
which have been printed by that sheet
and hesitate to do SO now, feeling that
it is beneath our notice, and knowing
we'll that it is in the power of the vilest
human being living to slander his
superiors, tho they may be SO far
above him that his slanderous shafts
fall far below the mark.
In writing this article, in order to
make few corrections of certain state
ments which have been made, we APP
peal not to the prejudices or passions
OF our readers, but to their better judg-
ment and common sense and ask them
to consider carefully the accusations
which have beer made by and with
the consent of the republican party and
see if the facts which can be easily
secured will bear out their statements
in any respect.
Mr.. Alexander, Mr.. Longley and
Mr.. Hopkins, all men who have lived
in the community a long time and
whose standing is such as to defy the
attacks of such accusers, have been
branded as thieves and robbers and
their characters assailed in every pos
sible way. They are accused of rob-
bing the taxpayers for the advance
ment of their own interests and OF
using for other purposes money received
for taxes. We do not believe that any
weight will be given to such state
ments but we nevertheless wish to call
attention to the matter and especially
to the subject of ''unpaid warrants -
over which SO much energy has been
expended by our republican friends.
Taking the autographed warrant and
the accompanying statement which
have been SO widely scattered over the
county, we call attention to the fact
that one of the funds; which this litho-
graph statement incorrectly shows has
credit of $1O63. .62, is really overdrawn

DIRTY WORK BY N. P. RAILWAY
Officials Of the Greedy Corporation Ask w. J.
Nix to Prostitute His Position for
the Republican Party.

We wish to call the attention of the
voters of Rosebud county to the methods
used by the Northern Pacific Railway
company in promoting the interests of
the Republican party in this county,
as indicated by the following statement
the Northern PacifcRailway company:
"On the 18th day of this month Mr..
Andrew Gibson, superintendent of the
Yellowstone division of the Northern
Pacific railway, stated to Mr.. Nix
that he had a positive order from Pres
ident Mellen of the road directing him
to discharge Mr.. Nix at once unless
Mr.. Nix Immediately got in line and
worked for the interests of the Repub-
1ican Legislative ticket.
NIX Said No
MIR. Nix replied that he would not
aid in electing to Office people who had
for over three years attempted in every
possible manner to depose him from
the position which he occupied with
the railroad company. To this Mr..
Gibson replied: 1--WE ARE UP
AGAINST 1T. THIS is WHAT
THE COMPANY WANTS AND WE
HAVE GOT TO DO IT." Mr..
Nix told Mr.. Gibson that he had not
even asked any man under him to vote
for or in any other way support any
political candidate in any political
party or in any way to use their in
huence for or against any candidate.
Mr.. Nix further stated that he was
willing to make an affidavit to that ef-
many men he had in his department
and also asked him to make an afi-
davit to the effect that he had not tried
to influence any mans vote up to that
time, and that from that time forword
he would support the Republican can
didates for Office. Mr.. Nix replied he
could not influence the laborers, ex-
cept probably some of the Italians, but
that it was possible that some of them
might follow his dictatlon.
Mr.. Nix then stated that he would
make an affidavit that he had not tried
to influence any vote up to that time
and that he had always worked for the
interests of the company and that he
expected to do as long as he was in
the employ of the company.
Following is an exact copy of The af-
fdavit which Mr.. Nix signed and de-

Dear Sir:
Regarding our conversation today, l
wish to state under oath and do state
under oath, that during the past year
and up to the present time l have never
asked or inquired of any of the men in
the employ Of the company working
under me, what his politics were or to
what political party he belonged; that
l have never asked any of them at any
time to vote for or against any candi-
date for office or to in any way use his
vote or influence for or against any
political candidate or any political
party. Nor have l taken politics into
account in filling places of employ
ment with the company. have in all
cases worked and spent my effort to
the interest of the company, and have
at no time permitted or thought of per-
mitting any other consideration to in
terfere with the company's interests.
l expect to pursue this course and hold
the company's interests above all other
considerations while in the employ of
the company.

Mr.. Nix resenting the dictation OF
republican bosses and being unwilling
to prostitute his position in aiding the
affairs of any political party, tonight
sent in his resignation to the railroad
officials. resigning his position as road
master.
The above incident only goes to show
to what extent individual rights are
made subservient to the welfare and
advancement of the interests of Trusts
and Corporations as fostered by re-
publican principles.
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany has seen fit to use its influence
for the good of the republican party of
Rosebud county to such an extent as
to demand the discharges of it's en-
ployes in case of their refusal to sup
port the republican ticket.
Are the voters of Rosebud county
willing to be dominated and trampled
upon by the Trusts and Combinations
in the present campaign?
ANSWER THIS BY YOUR VOTE.
