THE CARTER MANTLE COMBl-
NATION.
COMBI-

Months ago the Miner foreshadowed
the political combination that recently
has been gotten into more concrete
and practical form, namely, an assocl-
alton of the politica! interests of
former Senator Carter and former
Senator Mantle, under the terms of
which the Helena man is to have the
undisputed right of way to the United
States senate, in the event of repub-
lican Legislative control, while the
Butte man is to receive the guber-
material nomination for the forthcom-
ing campaign.
Notwithstanding the treatment ac-
corded Mr.. Mantle by the Garter fol-
lowing in the Legislature Of 1901,
through which Mr.. Mantle was un-
tremendously laid upon the shelf in
order to afford Mr.. Carter all the
election possibilities that might fall
to the republican party In case of a
democratic break, the Butte man
quietly accepted the situation and
held his peace.
Had he possessed the aggressive
qualities of Mayor Edwards he would
have inaugurated vigorous political
war against Mr.. Carter, and divided
his party into contending factions
over the lndignity imposed; had he
the cunning of Chairman Lindsey he
would have connived with MIR. Car

tleman aud destroy his future polit-
ical pros poets; but MIR. Mantle is ap-
parently gifted with the quality 0

The bill to open the Flathead res

It has been said that Senator
Allison, of Iowa, is SO delicate in his
political movements that he might
during a heated campaign-,valk
from the Atlantic to the Pacific on
eggs without breaking she'll; and
the same might be said of our genial
fellow citizen, Mr.. Mantle, provided
the eggs were made of porcelain.
However, Mr.. Mantle bided his
time and it appears that the mutual
friends of Mr.. Carter and himself
finally adjusted the political situation
to the satisfaction of each, insofar as
the jurisdiction of the republican
party extends.
Mr.. Mantle assisted IN the work of
rescuing MIR. Carter from the fangs
of the Lewis and Clarke delegation,
just rs the jaws of the ponderous Ed
wards-Sanders machine we're about to
close over his senatorial aspirations
and crush him out of political exist
ence!
Mr.. Carter's political influence,
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
ais friends in the state convention,
will be used to secure the nomination
Of Mr.. Mantle for governor unless
unforeseen accidents to the political
machine causes it to slip a cog, or bad
engineering burst It's boiler and it's
power is thereby lost as force in
Montana politics.
1t IS needless to add that under a
combination of this character the
Amalgamated interests will have
nothing to fear should the republican
party be successful at the polls; (;
hence, the activities of that industrial
enterprise may be used to the limit to
bring about these political conclus-
ions.
The opposing force in the republi-
can party, representing the influence
of the United Copper company-usu-
ally designated the Heinze following
will be represented by the candi-
lacy of Chairman Lindsay for govern
or, with the probability that Colonel
Sanders will enter the arena with a
view to thwarting the ambitions of
MIR. Carter, and contribute to the
anti-amalgamated wing tho repub-
lican strength of Lewis and Clarke.
The contest between these rival fac
tions promises to be an interesting
one, for while the Amalgamated in
terests controlled the late republican
state convention, and are evidently
prepared to dictate terms to the re-
publican party, Mr.. Lindsay will have
80 large following IN eastern Mon
tana that combination with Lewis
and Clarke county, and with such re-
publican delegates as the Heinze in
terests may be able to control from
other counties, may place the out

Mr.. Lindsay comes from the heart
OF republicanism in this state, and the
blood of the party may flow his way

standing as a citizen and as repub-
lican, is a member Of the ''impotent
minority" of Butte-a bailiwick that

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUSTS

OF all the publications dealing
with industrial conditions in the
United States the most complete
that has yet appeared is history of
the trusts by the eminent statistician,
John Moody, which is just from the
press, says the Butte News. ''rhe
Truth About the Trusts" as Mr..
Moody's, book is called, is really the
first comprehensive work dealing
with the formation of the immense
combinations of wealth which threat
en- the safety Of the republic. In all
he treats of 4OS trusts, divided INTO
the following classes: Greater Indus
trial Trusts, Z; Lesser Industrial
Trusts, 29S; Leading Franchise
Trusts, 1O3
Among the seven greatest trusts
Of the nation is the Copper Trust,
officially known as the Amalgamated
Copper company. The others in the
''Grea5er Industrial' class are the
American Smelling and Refining
company, familiarly known as the
Smelter Trust ;the American Sugar
Refining company; the Consolidated
Tobacco campany; the International
Mercantile Marine company; the
Standard Oil company, and the
United States Steel corporation.
Familiar as Montana people are
with the extent and power of the
Copper Trust, there are figures in
Mr. Moody's work which are u rev.
elation to many of us. For instance
there are only three trusts in the
world-the Smelter Trust, the Steel
Trust and the Tobacco Trust-whose
capitalization exceeds that of the
Amalgamsted Copper Trust. Even
the mammoth Standard Oil com
pany's capitalization of $97, ,5O0,O ,O0O
is only little more than half that OF
the Copper Trust, which reaches the
appalling total of $175, 100000.
The wonderful growth of the Rock
efeller interests is pictured and the
writer shows that every monopoly OF
any consequence in the world is a
branch of what he styles the "Rock-
efeller- Morgan Family Tree" The
total capitalization of all the trusts
in the world is given at O,379. 162,-

Our Filipino fellow citizens who

magnificent colonial capital back in

to rival in splendor and attractive
ness the famed British Indian town.
Simla.
The authority for this statement is
none less than Secretary of War
Taft, late governor oftne Philippines,
who says that the site for the new
capital has been selected and that
work has already begun upon the con-
struction, which is destined to be a
wo derful place, rivaling in splendor
and magnificence the ancient towns
Of the tropics.
The site chosen is one hundred and
fifty miles from Manila and has an
altitude five thousand feet greater
than that of the old Spanish city.
Secretary Taft says further that
the new city will have a climate like
that Of the Adlrondacks in summer
and will be convenient place for
American residents to escape the
nervous strain of living in temper
ature SO uniformly high as that of
Manila"
An electric railway will afford COM
munication between the coast and the
new city, whose name has not been
announced. 1t is located in the prov
ince of Benjuet. When completed
the city will be the hea dquarters of
the American residents of the islands
and Manila will become a mere flag
station. Great precautions will be
taken regarding water supply and
general sanitary conditions and the
new capital of our colony will be a
model city.
This does not have the appearance
of the abandonment of the islands
and those Fllipinos who have been
expecting to follow in the wake OF
their Cuban compatriots will evidently
have to wait long time. The new
city will, perhaps, afford field fol

scene of stories like Kipling's may be

for this imitation of the English. II

incidents as some of those located by
Kipling in Simla will ever be recorded
of our new model city in Benjuet.
That would be too English-Standard

WAR ON TOBACCO TRUST.
independent Dealers and Manufacture
ers Organize.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. t2.-Or-
ganized warfare against the tobacco
trust is to be carried on in earnest if
the plans of the national convention
of independent tobacco manufacturers
and dealers begun here today are car
ried out.
The convention is the result of a
call sent out some time ago by the
independent dealers of Philadelphia,
who have been more successful than
their brethren in other cities in hold
ing the trust at bay. The call was
responded to by the independents of
many of the largest cities of the
country and by the growers and man
ufacturers of Ohio, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota. Kentucky. Virginia
and other states. The result is the
largest gathering of the kind ever held
in this country, there being more than
1000 persons interested in the tobacco
trade in attendance.
The plan of the promoters of the
movement is to organize for concerted
action all of the independent associa-
tions now in existence. These include
the Independent Tobacco Manufac-
turers' Association of the United
States and the Independent Tobacco
League of America together with
some 90 state associations.
