The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-10-24
WHEN HEINZE
CAME TO TOWN
There Was a Hot Time in KaIispeII
That Night.

Without chance for argument all
will agree that F. Aug Heinze is pop
ular in Kalispell. His exhibition
Tuesday night was attended by big
ger crowd than the auditorium could
accommodate and which extended
down the stairs and out into the
street. Curiosity, in part, was re-
sponsible for the unprecedented turn
out The Bee probably aided some
what with its cartoons that afternoon
and then, as Kalispell folks are above
the average in intelligence and are
posted on state news through the me-
dunn of state dailies by the hundreds,
they naturally had an interest in the
best advertised man in Montana, and
wondered why he was stumping the
state, and for what. Then, too, the
famous quartette, with Cissy LOTUS
as leader, was a big attraction. Jones
of Washington was not so much a
much, but the people wanted to hear
him, too, and the combined aggrega-
ton did not cost anybody in Kalispell
penny.
Mr.. Heinze was not disappoint-
ment by any manner or means. While
not possessing oratorial ability, he
has the faculty of interesting an au-
dience as he talks. His presentation
of the trusts, from various stand
points, was clear cut and Clearly
made, and SO long as he confined him
self to abstract questions there was
little room for criticism, as he has
studied those subjects and gave his
audience the benefit of his own close
application.
The personal grievances under
which Mr.. Heinze is laboring were
thoroughly aired, but it is questiona-
able whether the public is sufficient
ly interested in his private business
career to care what was the result
of the litigation concerning the Min
ME Healy mine or any other property
where it was simply Heinze against
some other millionaire or corpora
ton.
AS a recent convert to democracy
it was not remarkable that he yet
has leanings toward his old party,
and as a wealthy man he may be ex-
pected to have that weakness for the
republican party which all wealthy
men are supposed to feel for the par
ty of trusts.
This may be the reason Mr.. Heinze
indorses Holloway for associate ius-
tice of the supreme court, or there
may be other and personal reasons.
w. A. Clark, senior senator from
Montana, as private adversary of
F. Aug. Heinze, was arraigned in bit
ter terms, for sins of omission and
commission, and relegated to the
lurid herd of man eaters surround
ong H. H. Rogers and the Standard
Oil trust OF all the active partici-
pants in the campaign two years
ago, F. Aug. Heinze and Joseph K.
Too1e have alone passed safe and
spotless through the test of fire, to
hear Heinze tell it.
In his denunciation of the Anal
gamated Copper company, Mr.. Heinze
did not forget to pay his respects to
John R. Toole and to Senator Carter.
He also enumerated the newspapers
that corporation directs and controls
and flattered the Kalispell Bee by list
ing it, however enormously with the
Butte Miner Inter Mountain, Ana
conda Standard, Helena Record, In
dependent, Herald and the Great
Falls Tribune and Leader, aud such
other influential papers. That selec
ton of the Bee as one of the horrible
examples is nothing new and will
have to be lived down, and that it Is
not nor has it been for six months
past directed or controlled by any
corporation other than the Bee Pub
