Gorton's Minstrels.

An attractive feature of Gorton's
MINISTRIES this season are the special
ties of Miss Cleone Pearl Fell, the
brightest child actress in the speciality
class. This dainty little entertainer
has a very amusing monologue, per-
fectly suited to her talents, and her
dancing can be described as truly
wonderful. AS a monologuist she pos
sesses the rare faculty Of being an
excellent story teller, and her witt
cisms never fail to score with her
audience. In her dancing she executes
with the most remarkable skill and
precision all the intricate steps OF
clog, buck and wing dancing, and
other fanciful terpsichorean divertise'
ments. She takes part, also, with
Welby and Pearl, in their comedy
dancing sketch, and is competent in
every way to share the responsible
ties of success with those Of estab
lished regulations.

LINDSAY STRONG CANDIDATE
From the Libby News.

mated. He should also be a man in
whom the people have confidence, for
if there is one thing at this stage OF
the game in Montana politics that
nominees must have, it is the conf
dence of the people, for craftsmanship
is at a low ebb.
The News has taken the position
that William Lindsay Of Glendive Is
the strongest man in the republican
party for the position Of governor,
and subsequent events have confirmed
this opinion. His opposition to cor
poration interference during the last
campaign and the splendid success he
achieved as the head Of the republic
can organization placed him in h
position in this state as one Of the
strong men in the republican party.
His record in Montana is one OF
which every Montanan may we'll be
proud. He stood for what was right
at a time when corruption was ooked
upon as a virtue by many. Not only

was he not a purchasable commodity,
but with all his might he fought those
who attempted to debauch the COM
monwealth. He is one of the substan-
tial citizens of the state, we'll off in
worldly goods, and a broad-gauged
man. In every way he is qualified
for the position.
If William Lindsay is placed al the
head of the republican ticket this fall,
which all indications at this time
seem to warrant, the people OF Mon
tana know that their next governor
will be a man who has absolutely no
connection with any of the corpora
tions. who is free to discharge the
duties of his Office with absolute fair
ness, both to the people, corporations
and all. William Lindsay is not afraid
of the corporations, neither have the

personal schemes to p~erpetuate. This
mode of procedure would insure the
selection of the best and most compe-
tent men to fill the various ofhce and

to an overwhelming majority vote for
the ticket at the November polls.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-08-09

The attention of the people Of Mon
tana has been directed the past few
weeks to a remarkable series Of law
STUNTS which have been brought in the
courts of Silver Bow county by one
of the big mining corporations over
there against another big corporation.
The total of these suits, which are
for damages for alleged stealing Of
ores. runs into the millions, some
where in the neighborhood of $780,
900, ZOO.
Now, that's all right for these cor
porations to do that. Under the laws
of the land they can sue for twenty
times twenty millions if they want
and it is nobody's business. They
evidently pay their attorneys and the
court charges and all that, and wheth-
or they do or not makes no diner
ence as has been said they have a
right to do as they please, always
within the law.
But the people of Montana have
this interest in these matters. FOr
wears it has been a notorious fact
that these same corporations who are
having this trouble referred to have
taken a very active interest In the
political affairs of this state. Nat
urally at all times this interest has
been guided by selfish motives, and
as these corporations are powerful
concerns their influence is dangerous
The interests of the general public
weigh not a hair as against the inter
ests of these corporations.
Now, taking it for granted that the
state is going republican this fall
which fact is generally conceded b,
those who are accredited with gooe
political judgment, it behooves tha
organization to be extremely careful
as to it's nominees and see to 1t tina
none of them n in any way allie
with either of these corporations. l
this is done, the ticket to be nominal
ed at Billings will be elected by
magnificent majority.
