DISCUSSES IRRIGATION.
Republican Candidate For Vice President
Welcomed By Montana Citizens.

BUTTE, Sept. 27.-With speech at
Anaconda, made late today, and two
in this city tonight, Senator Fair
banks concluded his second day in
Montana. The itinerary for the day
covered the line of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad from Billings to this
point and the party passe from the
upper Yellowstone country into the
Gallatin valley, crossing the CONT.
mental divide and arriving at Butte
very little after schedule time.
In addition to Anaconda and Butte,
stops for speeches were made at Big
Timber, Livingston, Bozeman and
Whitehall. At all OF those places ex-
cept Bozeman, practically the whole
of the population turned out to wei.
come the vice presidential candidate
and his associates: and the exception
at Bozeman was caused by misun.
derstanding of the time of the arrival
At Livingston and Big Timber, the
school children were marshaled for
especial display and formed a notice
able feature of the meeting.
In most OF his speeches Sen ato1
Fairbanks referred to the efforts made
by President Roosevelt in behalf Of
national aid for irrig alton, saying ii
part:
'In his very first message to the
United States congress he pointed ou1
the necessity of dealing with the grea
subject OF irrig alton. He pointed Out
how it was possible to utilize the pub
lie domain of the United States SO a:
not to draw directly upon the treas
ury ia Washington. He felt that i
was an equitable, he felt that it was {
just policy, to use the proceeds of thu
sale of the public lands that lie in thi
great section of our beloved countr.
to promote irrig alton.
''He thought it was but st ant
equitable-so just and equita ble-th a
the proposition could we'll gain tn
consent OF the minds of those who liy
in the middle west and the east. II
thought it just and equitable that tn
proceeds Of the sales of these land
should be utilized for the purpose o
irrig gating this great country. Fol
lowing his recommend alton, the con
gress took up the subject in an earn
est and in a patriotic way. Congress
provided that the proceeds from tn
sale of public lands should be sc
apart as reclamation fund. Twent
millions of dollars have already bee
realized from such sales under thi
great law. I use the word great ad
visedly, because nobody, standin
here at the morning of this new Ger
tury, can see the uttermost limits {

DEMOCRATS GIVE up THE WEST.

According to a dispatch from New
York, the democratic managers nave
definitely decided not to establish
campaign headquarters in the west.
It was proposed to open branch
headquarters in Chicago, from which
to direct an aggressive fight in sew
eral western states, but after careful
survey of the field the proposition has
been abandoned.
Four years ago, the only western
states carried by Bryan were Coo
rado, Idaho, Montana and Nevad a,
and in the coming election these four
will probably join the republican
column. The democratic managers
will confine their attention to the So
called doubtful eastern states, and
will put up as strong fight as pos
sible in New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia. Referring to the change in the
democratic plan of campaign, the
Globe-Democrat says:
In giving up the west without a
struggle the democrats have been wise,
but they have fixed things SO that not
much interest can be taken in the cam
paign in this part of the country.
There was some loud boasting until
recently that the democrats had hopes
of rolling up heavy vote in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, while they pre-
tended they were confident OF carrying
Wisconsin on account of the LaFoll-
cite feud. When they selected Tom
Taggart for head of their national
committee it was predicted that big
fight would be made by the democrats
for Taggart's state, Indiana. Tables
of figures were cited by democra attic
arithmetic men to show that the demo-
Gratis have carried the Hoosier state a
great many times since the civil war,
and that, therefore, they would have a
good chance to do it in 1904. Much
was made, too, Of the long contest in
the republican state convention in llli-
nois, and on that fight was based a
hope that the democrats would carry
that state this year. West Of the Miss
issippi, also, there were to be great
conuuests by the democracy. Colo
rado, Montana, Idaho, ashington,
California, Utah and several other
states were sure to be won by the
democrats this year, If a serious at
tempt were made. On the basis OF
these claims and boasts Taggart and
his lieutenants were said to be about
to pat up a fight in the west that would
make the canvass of 1904 memor able
for it's pcturesqueness and activity
All these hopes and boasts have
been abandoned. With all of lag

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

It has been great many years since
new president going into office did
not find a house of congress of his own
political complexion. The only ex,
ception to this rule, indeed, since the
civil war, was in 1876 when President
Hayes was given the election by the
electoral commission. In that con-
gress the democrats had sixty plural
ity. But never before nor since in the
lifetime of the republican party has
there been a hostile congress in the
year of the inauguration of repu bill
can president.
Some curious things are revealed in
a study of the lower house of congress.
The republicans carried the house OF
1853 and did not lose it until 1874,
when the democrats took control and
retained it for three congresses, losing
to the repu ublicans in 1880. In that
year the republicans gained the house
by the narrow plurality of seven, los
ing it again in 1882, in 1884 and 1886.
In 1888, when Harrison became presi-
dent, the republicans had a plurality
of only ten in the house. and this they
lost in the election of 1890, when the
democrats gained their most over
whelming congressional victory. In
the house of 1913 the democrats had
236 votes to only IS for the republi-
cans, this being the smallest proper
tionate number of congressman the re.
publicans ever had. In 1892 demo-
cratic congress was elected with Gro.
yer Cleveland, but this was changed
to q big republican majority by the
election of 1884, and ever since the
house has been republican by good
working majority.
1t is noticeable that the big changes
in the partisan vote of congress do
not come in the presidential years.
For example, Harrison was elected
over Cleveland in 1888 by a large ma
iority of the electora! college, but the
house went republican by the narrow
est of ma,jorities. Another striking
illustration is found in the case Of
Clcvcland's 3 second election in 1892.
In 1890 congress had gone democratic
by majority Of l4S. Cleveland was
elected two years later by what was
virtually a land slide. Yet there was
q loss of 39 democratic seats in the
~, - In,
Mckinley beat Bry an far worse thar
in 1896. Yet in 1896 the republicans
gained a majority Of y in the lower
house as against a majority of only 4;
in the election of 1900. This majorit,
of 45 was still reduced by the election
in 1902 20 majority of only 81.
So it is not inconceivable to thinl
of the election of Mr.. Roosevelt by {
big majority with an accompanying
loss of the house to the democratic
party. The democrats have only tt
hold their own and gain IS new seats
But the question is whether or no
these IS seats are in sight for the dem
Ocfdtlc parry. Mi' bdOooth, thoAA
man of the republican congressio
committee, urges republicans every
where to make a special effort in be
half of their candidates for congress
confessing that the opportunity TO
democratic success in this direction
far better than the opportunity TO
electing democratic president.

PLIGHT OF MILLIONAIRE.
Mistaken for Pauper He 10 Confined In
New York Hospital,

New York Hospital.
New York, Sept 2S.--whlle his
friends and relatives were searching the
city for him john H. onderdonk,
nephew of former Judge Onderdonk,
and whose wealth is estimated at
s1,000.000, was an inmate Of the Metro
politan hospital, on Blaekwell's island,
where he was looked upon as a derelict
of the streets for four days.
1t was only by accident that ne was
found there by his physician, DR.. NJ. B.
Feeney, Of No. 80 Seventh street. DIR.
Feeney had been treating another pa
tlent in the hospital and Mr.. Onder-
donk heard this person mention the
physicians name.
He then prevailed upon one of the
employees of the institution to call the
doctor by telephone and inform him Of
his own plight.
Mr.. Onderdonk is a sufferer from To-
comotor ataxia, which induces fits Of
vertigo. He left the home Of Mrs. NJ.
b. Dresner with whom he boarded, at
No. 50 West Twelfth street. on Satur-
day morning and boarded a north
bound Sixth avenue car.
At Slxtieth street he left the car and
was almost Immediately attacked by his
ailment Sinking to a doorstep he was
found there by policeman, who took
him to the Presbyterian hospital,
where his case was diagnosed as one
of senility.
AS Mr.. Onderdonk, who in earlier
life was conspicuous for his fashion,
able appearance, has of late years worn
old and shabby clothing, there was no
suspicion that he was a man Of means.
One feature Of locomotor ataxia Is
that 1t prevents the victim from FORM
ing his thoughts into words, and Mr..
Onderdonk was unable to explain mis-
situation until the incident Of the other
patient rallied his mind and he was
able to get word to DR.. Feeney.
