At o'clock today the ARGUS had

The new stock of print paper was
to have arrived last week. but the

lost his horses every day for week.
for though he left Lewistown the first
of last week, he did not load at Har-

ternoon the ARGUS sent team from
Garneill to meet the freighter and
get enough for a weeks run and put
it on the incoming coach. The paper
was brought to Garneill all right, but
when the coach came it was so heay-
lily loaded that the paper shipment
was refused. At S:15 this morning,
Ed. Hart of Garneill was again call

A HEINZE
STRIKER HERE
Pat Meaney Of Butte stumping Fer.
gus County for His.
Boss.
is A FORMER CLARK MAN
The Clark Democracy Of Fergus
County Basely
Betrayed.

When the Democratic delegation
from Fergus county went to Bozeman
and sold itself out to F. A. Heinze for
mess of pottage" 1t basely betray-
ed the Clark Democracy of Fergus
county Owing to the overwhelming
defeat their new boss received in the
convention his strikers here have as.
sumed an humble attitude and have
made some pretensions of supporting
the Democratic state ticket In the
hope OF making connection with
both the Clark and Heinze barrels.
So far they have received nothing but
nit" from Clark headquarters and
now they are relying upon Heinze
alone to disgorge. The perfdy and
duplicity of such tactics will disgust
all decent men.
AS further evidence that the Clark
Democracy of this county has been
sold out or betrayed to Heinze Pat
Meaney. one of the latter's neutenants
and hirelings is now stumping Fergus
county and doing quiet work" in the
latter's behalf.
This fellow Meaney was formerly
an ardent supporter of w. A. Clark
but being of that peculiar product of
Butte he can change his politics and
support oftener than he does his shirt
ad is now out for Heinze. possibly
because the latter has offered the
greatest inducement
The Democratic central committee
has taken up Mr.. Meaney and will see
that he is billed throughout the coun-
ty.
AS Heinze controlled both the Dem
ocratic and labor conventions of this
county Mr. Meaney is sent down here
to oppose the election of Mr. Waite.
How can the Clark Democrats of
Fergus county stomach such politics?
John Alexander is a Heinze man. and
IL elected would do the bidding of this
political montebank, mining adven-
tmer and marplot.
