POPULAR REPUBLICAN NOMINATED
TO VACANCY CAUSED BY Mr..
BUzzo'S RESIGNATION.
.LATTER'S LETTER READ
IN COMMITTEE Meeting
Three Candidates for the Legislature to
Fill Vacancies on the Ticket and
Other Places Left Open by the Con-
venton Receive Attention-Meeting Is
Enthusiastic and Encouraging.

Silver Bow county republicans intended
tee last evening. Not only did they have
the meeting, but held rousing rally in tn :
large hall at headquarters which was filed
to overfiowing with enthusiastic friends.
Old-timers in the party, men who have
always been republicans but have never
taken an active part in the campaigns,
were present to lend a word of encourage
ment or advice and when, after two hours
Of speeches, plans and deliberations, the
meeting adjourned it was with the feeling
that every man had made up his mind to
get out and make a winning fight for the
grand old party.
Much regret was expressed at the bust
ness engagements which compel +. w.
Buzzo, the nominee for state senator to
be absent from Montana during the cam
paign, but when Malcolm ellis was named
and in an earnest speech announced that
he would accept and go in to win, the
candidacy of the new leader of the county
ticket was hailed with acclamation.
Mr.. Buzzo's Letter.
At CLOCK CHAIRMAN a. N. Ioder
called the meeting to order. AS the hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity it
was necessary to ask the members Of the
committee to take the seats in front.
After few parliamentary remarks the
chairman asked Secretary NJ A. Berger to
read the deelination OF Mr. Buzzo which
was as follows:
To the Republican County Central Com
mittce:
"Gentlcmen-It is with sincere regret
that have rendered to you my declinaton

He was one of the first to advocate the
organization of Butte Stationary En-
gineers' union, which has since become SO
powerful, and it is mainly owing to his
efforts that the union has been so sue
cessful. Mr.. Gillis has been elected to
every office within the gift of that body.
He was sent from the union to the councils
of the Trades and Labor assembly as its
representative and was subsequently
chosen by the engineers as their delegate
to the Western Federation of Miners.
For three successive years Mr. ellis
was honored as the representative Of his
union in the national meetings of the Fed
Grafton. His active support and earnest
work for the cause of labor has made him
many friends.
Malcolm Gillis has been chosen three
times as chairman of the county central
committee of the republican party. He
has been vice president of the republican
state central committee for four years, and
in many ways has been publicly identified
with the interests of the party in city, state
and county. No stronger man to head the
county ticket could be chosen, and with
Malcolm Gillis at their head the repub-
lican candidates may safely consider that
victory is already won.

lBY ASSOCIATED PRrss.1

Washington, Oct. Io.-The Grand Army
of the Republic today decided by vote
to hold its encampment in 1909 at. San
Francisco. :
Practically the only competitor was At
lantic City, but few votes being cast for
Saratoga. The chances Of the latter place
were destroyed by the decision Of tho
New York men to support San Francisco
and when the solid vote Of that delegation
was cast today for the Pacific Coast city,
it was recognized that Atlantic City's
prospects we,e very slim.
General Shaiter made the speech nom-
mating San Francisco, while Department
Commander Hall of New Jersey named
Atlantic City. The vote was San Fran
cisco, 573; Atlantic City, 1873.
The selection of San Francisco was chem
made unanimous.
Before the place Of meeting was chosen
the list of national officials was CONF
pleted. A. w. Atchson of Texas was
chosen surgeon general and Rev. d. b.
Shuey OF Kansas chaplain in chief.
During the day the committee on legis-
lation presented its report. The report
was devoted especially to the committees
effort to secure a modification of the civil
service laws in the interest of veterans,
which was stated congress had failed 10
concede.
The committee finds that the president
is in hearty sympathy with the efforts to
secure a broader recognition of the claims
of the soldiers and in marked contrast
to the attitude of congress-"

TOOK STORIES Of
THE CHICAGO FIRE
LOCAL MEN WHO WERE TELEGRAPH
OPERATORS ON THE NIGHT OF
OCTOBER 9, 1871.

Yesterday was the thirty-frst anniver-
sary of the big Chicago fire which broke
out October 9, 1871. In recalling the
awful disaster that attracted the attention
OF the whole world, H. O.. Wilson of the
Short Line said this morning:
Il remember that fire distinctly. | was
a telegraph operator at Deadwood, S. D..
at the time, and took the account for the
Associated Press. 1t was frightful
calamity for those who had to go through
it but Chicago has been the gamer in the
long run, for the town arose, Phoenix-like,
from the ashes, and was rebuilt on much
more magnificent SCALE"
Levi Wilson, who is at present the local
manager for the Western Union Telegraph
company, was located in San Francisco at
the time and had charge of that end of the
fire story, and 1t has the distinction of
being one of the biggest stories ever hand

DILLON POLITICS
ARE VERY QUIET
G. A. WILLIS SAYS BEAVERHEAD
SAYS DIXON is TO BE WARMLY
WELCOMED THERE.

G. A. Willis, prominent attorney Of
Dillon, was in Butte today on business for
the Short Line. Mr.. Willis says that the
campaign is unusually quiet in Beaver
head this year. When John Evans, tie
democratic candidate for congress, ap-
pearcd there during the first part of the
week, he failed to make much Of an im-
preston, because his ability as first rate
speaker Us not very strong.
Mr.. Willis said that great preparations
have been made to receive the Hon.
Joseph M. Dixon, who makes his initial
appearance at Dillon tonight. This will be
the opening of the republican campaign in
Reayerhead, and Mr.. Willis is of tho
opinion that the chances of the grand old
party for victory in that county were
never brighter than this year.

NO ONE IS PRESENT TO
REPRESENT OPERATORS
And It Is Therefore Surmised That the
Senators Are Trying to See What Can
Be Done by the Government in the
Way Of Forcing Matters to Head
Mitchell Is in New York, but Was Not
at the Conference and viii Not Speak
Inv ASSOCIATED pRFss,1

New York, Oct. Io.--Continuing their
efforts to bring about a solution of the
anthracite coal strike Senators Quay and
Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Senator
Platt and Governor Odell of New York met
today for another conference.
The meeting place was Senator Platt's
Office in the downtown business district.
The conference began shortly after 10
o'clock, but none of the coal operators nor
anyone representing their interests ap-
peared
The absence of any representative on the
operators side Of the dispute was regarded
as indicative that this mornings confer
ence between the politicians would be de-
voted to an effort to discover some means
of forcing the strike to an end.
Another phase was injected into the
situation today by the making public of
David WilcoX's letter to the president
demanding that the federal government
proceed against the miners organization
as a conspiracy to prevent interstate COM
merce. Mr.. Wilcox is said to represent all
the coal operators, and the publication of
his letter is regarded as somewhat in the
nature of statement of the operators
position.
Mitchell viii Not Speak,
President Mitchell of the Miners union,
with the district presidents, spent the early
part of the day at his hotel and declined to
answer any questions except to say tnat he
expected to return home today
1t was reported that just before he left
the Fifth Avenue hotel, this morning, J. p.
Morgan had brief private conference
with Senators Quay and Penrose. This
could not be confirmed, however.
President Baer of the Reading road,
came over from Philadelphia this after
noon, and shortly after his arrival here
went to ]. p. Morgans office. Later,
Chairman Thomas of the Erie road also
called, and the three remained in close
consultation for some time. At 1890
Mr.. Baer and Mr.. Thomas left the Morgan
Offices and went around to Senator Platt's
Office, where Senator Platt and his con-
ferees were in session. They were quickly
ushercd into the room.
The conference in Senator Platt's Office
broke up soon after o'clock. Senator
Plat stated that everything had been put
off until Tuesday.
Chairman Thomas OF the Erie road said
after the conference that no conclusion had
been reached.

The letter was made public in this

New York is as follows:
10 the President of the United States.
washington, ID. C.--Sir: Upon Jnne d
last had the honor to address a letter
10 yourself, calling attention to the char
acter OF the United Mine Workers of
America. The ilegality of that organiza.
ton Is fully established by the auihori,
tics to which | then referred, and its
methods have since been again con-
demned by the circuit court of the United
States Omitted States VS.. Weber rath

gerty. no Fed. Rep. sIo).
In the Weber case, too, the court saws.
IT IS hardly open to serious question
the ultimate purpose OF the union is not
legal
Has He the Right?
Some question has, however. been
made whether the national government
has power to take action against il on
that account, and therefore | desire to
respectfully submit some considerations
which seem to establish that il has such
power. The statute Of July 2, 1900. gem
orally known as the Sherman act, provides
that every contract, combined form of a
trust or otherwise or conspiracy in re-
straint OF trade or conspiracy In restraint
OF trade or commerce among the several
states or with foreign nations, is hereby
declared to be illegal
Commerce among the states begins
when the subjects there begin to move to
their place Of destination and ends when
they are sold. The question therefore is
whether the mine workers combination
constitutes a restraint upon such COM
mcrce.
The view that 1t does not Is based
upon the contention that this combination
affects only production Of coal within tho
state and not shipments Of coal from one
state to another. 1t is submitted that this
distinction is without foundation in tho
law or facts.
The coal of the country Is the most
important subject of its interstate COM
mercc. The United Mine Workers con-
s'sts OF combination of persons employed
in the production Of coal in many states
OF the union. Its object and effect are I'd
control the terms upon which this subject
OF interstate commerce may be produced
at all, either for state or interstate ship
ments.
Its direct and necessary effect is that
no coal shall be shipped anywhere within
the country, unless it so permits. This

Lower Merton township, which in

Pennsylvania railroad, is to have the
most improved sewerage system OBJ
tainable, SAYS the Philadelphia Times.
The cos, of the system will be at least
100000. and it is expected that con-
struction work will begin early next
spring. After thorough investigation
Of systems Of disposal preliminary
plans were prepared for n complete
house sewerage system. Two meth
ods were finally considered by the
township commissioncr,-ihc first TO
carry the sewage TO tide water and
the second to purify the sewage by
the mos; approved mcthod-bactcrial
treatment.
The method Of carrying the sewage
to tide was considered very cShaus-
lively. the cost IF construction run
ming up into thousands Of dollar., ap-
proXimaiing $4,000.
The second proposition was dis
cu..cd by the commissioners, and
with the encouragement Of the more
progressive citizens il was decided ia
thoroughly investigate the methods
Of sewage publication, and construc-
ton OF sewerage systems and sewage
