w. N. HOLDEN
Socialist Candidate for Presiden-
tial Elector.

Mr.. Holden was born in Graf
ton, Mass, in 1860, moved to Kan
sas in 1868 and came to Montana
in 1880. Mr.. Holden built the
first cabin where Great Falls now
stands in the spring of 1881, and
has followed different occupations
since for the past twenty years.
Mr.. Holden, in his characteristic
offhand manner of talk, is author
ity for the statement that he has
had many jobs offered him, but
has never asked for one, and that
he has been many times hungry
because he would not go to the
masters OF bread and ask for the
privilege of living, for the reason
that if he had it would have been
at the expense of some one else
who would have been forced to
"hit the pike" and look for job.
For the past seven years Mr.. Hol-
den has been in the transfer busi-
ness, employing himself four years
ago. He was member of the
state executive board of the So
cialist party that carried on the
state campaign. Mr.. Holden has
been an active member of the
Butte local nearly five years, and
has contributed his share with the
rest of the comrades towards car
rying on the propaganda work in
the part of Rockefeller's doman in
Silver Bow county. 1t is needless
to say that Comrade Holden is
revolutionary Socialist.

MRS. r. ANNA GERMAN
Socialist Candidate for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.

Mrs. R. Anna German, candidate
for superintendent of public in
struction on the Socialist ticket,
was raised and educated in Cali
fornia, but has resided in Montana
most of the time for the past I8
years. She is the wife of DR.. E.
f. German of Butte, Silver Bow
county, Montana, and is the
youngest daughter of a sturdy old
Kentucky family, who figure their
genealogy away back to the land
ing of the Mayfower. Her pa
rents emigrated across the conti-
nent to the Pacific coast in the
early sixties, where they helped to
pave the way to broader civili-
zation throughout the new north
west. She is a grandniece of Gen.
Joe Hooker of national fame, and
is the mother of two grown sons
and a daughter, the two youngest
of whom are native son and
daughter of Montana. Mrs. Ger
man is typical western woman
and is an ardent supporter of the
free public school system of our
nation, and strongly advocates the
abolition of child labor from all
branches of industry throughout
the land and placing the young
Americans where they rightfully
belong-in the schoolroom and
playground until they have phys
ically and mentally developed in
to perfect womanhood and man
hood, when they will then be in

fairs of glorious nation, instead
of dwarfing body and mind, wear

is member OF the Typographical
union and is always found work
ing and sacrificing his time in the
cause of the proletarian, to which
class he belongs.
With a thorough country
school education, and the expe-
rience as a teacher for few years,
coupled with the advantage of
the high school and other excel
lent educational features places
him in a position to be of great
benefit to the working class.
Mr.. Walsh is now making lee
ture tour of the state of Montana,
not in the interest of himself, but
for the great cause of Socialism,
which means the emancipation of
the working class from the pres
ent wage system.

Biographies of Socialist Candidates the State Ticket
JOHN w. FRINKE
Socialist Candidate for Lieutenant
Governor.

John w. Frinke was born in
New York City Feb. 2, 1865, of
German parentage, and educated
in the common schools. Comrade
Frinke is the present mayor of
Anaconda, being elected on the
Socialist ticket in April, 1902.
After his election to the Office of
mayoralty, the plutocrats, who
were caught mapping, conspired to
keep Comrade Frinke from taking
the Office of mayor, on a flimsy
legal technicality, but after max
ing an ineffective fight Mr.. Frinke
won out. His administration as
mayor of the "Smelter City" has
been directed in the interests of
the masses, and never before has
the wage earners' interests been
guarded to as good advantage.
Comrade Frinke is engaged in the
business of manufacturing cigars
in Anaconda, and by his honest
dealings has built up a business
that reaches far beyond the con-
fines of Anaconda. Comrade
Frinke joined the International
Cigarmakers' union in 1885. and
at the time of his election to the
mayoralty held what was believed
to be the second oldest union card
in Anaconda, r. B. Peckham ante
dating his card with one issued in
1876. He was the first secretary
of the first Central Labor Council
organized in Anaconda, and was
probably the most active man in
bringing about its organization,
and has been a constant worker
for unionism ever since. In ad-
ministering the duties of his office
and in his eternal vigilance in the
interests of the working classes,
Comrade Frinke has inculcated

ERIK OLSEN
The Socialist Candidate for State
Treasurer.

Mr.. Olsen was born in Sweden
in 1860, and at the age of ~ emf
grated to America. In 1888 Mr..
Olsen became a citizen of the
United States, and has been a
resident of Cascade county, Mon
tana, ever since that time. He is
possessed of thorough business
education. During his career in
Cascade county he has been close
ly identified with the cause of or
ganized labor, and now holds the
position of financial secretary for
the Carpenters union. Mr.. Olsen
is a wheelwright by trade and is
constantly employed at this busi-

responsibility, long before they
have reached the age of maturity.
Mrs. German has studied social
economy for many years and is a
thorough scholar of ethical sci
ence, and declares that all true
philosophical study leads to the
great conclusion of universal col
lectivism as the only sure means
for establishing and maintaing the
liberty of advanced civilization
and human progress, where free
suffrage, the industrial, the COM
petitive and class questions can
ever hope to be amicably settled in
behalf OF the whole people and for
all time to come.
Mrs. German was one of the
most active workers of the Wom-
ans Socialist Guild which per-
formed so much charitable work
among the distressed in Butte, is
member of the Butte local and
also of the county central commit
tee and consequently is rather a
busy worker in the cause of So
cialism.

Mr.. Peters was born in Glas-
gov, Scotland, educated in the
schools of that city and moved to
America about IS years ago, and
has been a continual resident of
Montana since. Since coming to
America Mr.. Peters secured a
thorough business education in
the commercial schools. He has
been identified with the cause of
labor the major portion of his
life. In 1901 Mr.. Peters was a
candidate for city treasurer of Bill
lings on the labor ticket, and three
years later was a candidate on

the United States, followed into
Old Mexico on account of his loy-
atty to the Order of Railway
Telegraphers, and finally driven
out of the telegraph business. Set
tied in Montana in 1894, worked
as bookkeeper and timekeeper for
the Anaconda Mining Co. for two
years in Anaconda. Afterwards
worked in the Butte mines for two
years, and engaged in the retail

years with marked success. Was

of Montana, and brought out and
edited their official journal. Again
entered into business. manufacture

charged for the "offense" of quit

four days notice, to accept posi-
tion of train dispatching with
Rock Island at Chickasha, Indian
Territory, at increase of pay. The
Santa Fe rules require IS days
notice to the company; the COM
pany's rules required one seconds
notice to the employe. Supt. R.
M. McCloud of the Northern Pa
cihc admitted a palpable case of
blaSklisting, before several wit
nesses, and Mr.. Lynch came to
Helena to enter suit, but as all
the lawyers minimum charges for
starting suit was $500, he was
some $4o5 short of reaping the
benefits of one of the many al
legged labor laws" working in full
blast under capitalist system.
Mr.. Lynch was committeeman
from Montana, in the memorable
Great Northern strike in 1894. and
in addition has the distinguished
honor of having his phiz, even to
the color of his eyeballs, on file in
the General Managers Associa-
tion of Railway Superintendents
in Chicago for instantaneous APP
plication, and which he thinks will
die natural death on the intro
duction of Socialism. 1t is un-
necessary to explain how he be-
came Socialist. Mr.. Lynch for
the past eight months has been
employed on The Montana News,
and is still member of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers and the
American Labor Union.

]. H. WALSH
The Socialist Candidate for Con-
gress.

J. H. Walsh, Socialist nominee
for congress, was born in Wis
consin October 7, '6o, his parents
moving to the state of Nebraska
while he was but a lad of seven.
His first activity in the political
field was with the formation of
the peoples party, which was an
outgrowth of the Farmers ALI
ance organization. After the cam
paign of 90 Mr.. Walsh aligned
with the Socialist movement. He
established the Judith Basin News
at Lewistown over two years ago,
which paper is now the Montana
News, published at Helena. He

his chief consideration. AS a men,
Der of the Fifth legislative assem-
bly, he introduced and fought
through the house an eight-hour
law, only to have it killed in the
senate by the corporation tools,
whom workingmen had sent to
that body. Together with other
men, who are nominated on the
Socialist tickets throughout the
state, he assisted in the passage of
the free text book law; the Hell
ena Typographical union adopting
a set of resolutions of thanks to
him for his work in behalf of the
measure which placed the union
label on state printing. Again the
two week pay days would now be
on the statute books of this state,
thanks to him, had it not been
for the corporation tools, whom
workingmen delight to honor, by
electing to the legislative body.
O'Malley and Lindsay, the repub-
lican nominee, were members OF
the same legislative assembly. A
careful perusal of the house jour
nal will give an idea, as to how
these two gentlemen stood on
matters which affected the inter-
ests of the working class. Com
rade O'Malley is of the working
class. He thinks as workingmen,
thinks and feels as workingmen
feel. To him, in the Legislative
assembly, Coxey's army was a
band of brother workingmen, who
had been thrown out of employ
ment, by causes over which they
had no control. To Joseph K.
Toole they were band of "ruf-
fanly vagabonds," and he so ex-
pressed himself. Had William
Lindsay been called upon he
would have no doubt expressed
himself in like terms. Comrade
O'Malley is in a measure typical
of the Socialist movement, in
that all his public acts have been
in the interest of the working
class, and them only. Having
been most of his life wage slave,
he has neither concern nor SYM
pathy with the affairs of the OPP
pressor class. Mr.. O'Malley was
lately engaged in the grocery bus
mess in the city of Butte, and for
a long period edited the American
Labor Union Journal, with espe-
cial credit to himself and the or
ganization which he represented.
At the present time Comrade
O'Malley is employed on the
Butte Evening News as city So
licitor.

Mr.. Malcolm George O'Malley,

of Montana for eleven years, and
during his career in the state has
been directly identified with the
interests of those who toll. In his

steady and conservative. and by
his gentlemanly disposition has
built a large concourse of friends
in the Cataract City. Mr.. Olsen
has been identified with the So
cialist movement for a number of
years, and on account of his wide
acquaintance will poll a large
vote throughout the state.

inning the game was simply a pitchers
battle, neither side being able to score.
1t was different in the sixth, when
the home team by punching a num-
Der Of safe hits got four men over the
home plate. But that was all. Not
another time did the visitors allow
a Brave to safe camp at the final sta
tion. Smokey" Moffett, twirler for
the Athletics, was in fine form and
never allowed a Brave to walk to first,
and only seven safe hits were regis
tered against him. Moffett is well
known to local fans, and the verdict
Of these was unanimous that he pitched
the game Of his lifein Sunday contest.
But he met more than his match in

when an error on the part Of Lennon
and close decision by the umpire saved
them from a shut-out. The next man
