"OUR GOVERNOR"

the state has been printing all this
week lot of rot demanding Governor
Toole to convene the legislature in ex-
traordnary session for the purpose of
putting in operation the Amalgamated
mines, thereby enabling some twelve
thousand men to return to labor. Our
contemporary gives the subject two
and a half columns in it's most recent
issue. 1t is quite probable that full
half of them do not know what they are
driving at and that deception is the
key note in the argument of the others.
from their rantings is, that they want
a special session of the legislature
called; but for what purpose they do
not say. There are those, however,
who know exactly what they would
accomplish by all this wasted space,
and that is to put Governor Toole in an
i'll light before the public. Our Gov
ernor though, being governor of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie is SO firmly imbedded in the hearts
of the people of this state that it takes
something more than an Amalgamated
newspaper to breed distrust in their
minds. Governor Toole, as a public
official or private citizen of this state
occupies a position by itself. He
stands out pre-eminently and alone as
the purest minded, greatest, strongest,
noblest and most beloved man in the
history of our commonwealth. He is
the most Jeffersonian type our state
can lay claim to. And for these rea-
sons we know he will do what is right
always. These Amalgamated news
papers would have the people believe
ehot iIS So'SS HfoI Z lol a SCdl III llt
senate of the United States than for
his own good name or for the love his
people bear him; but we all know that
our governor could have been our SEN
ator had he not been true to his pledge
to us, that if we elected him our gov
ernor he would remain our governor
through his term of office. Every DOS
sible pressure was brought to bear on
him by the members of the seventh
Legislative assembly to force him to &C
cept d place in the senate but he re-
manned true, and as reward for his
constancy, we would be unworthy of
1t did we not send him to the senate
when he completes his gubernatorial
duties. These gubernatorial duties
are great and varied but it is not one
OF them to saddle worthless expense
upon us by calling a special meeting of
the legislature. Last winter when the |
eighth Legislative assembly was in
session, they passed law providing
for change of judge which was uncon-
stitutionalized by the supreme court.
The Amalgamated papers would now
have twalva thousand a
that this bill can be amended so as to
meet the requirements of the supreme
court and that they would thereby be
returned to work. We would call their
attention to the fact that the recent de-
clslons handed down by Judge Clancy
are the same that have been in effect
with regard to the Boston & Montana
company for the past two years and
that decision having been rendered
by the district court, the case now goes
to the supreme court and that an
amendment of the ''change of Judge"
bill could have no effect upon this.
The Amalcamated Copper company
want their own tool, and not our Tool,.
in the governor S chair as we'll as to
own every judge in the state, and their
papers take this method of poisoning
the public mind against the Honora BILE
