that made use of by the republicans
of Silver Bow in the adoption of their
platform. The convention met at
Butte last Monday and nominated q
full ticket, with the exception Of can
didates for judges of the district
court, Of whom two are to be. elected.
Only one nomination was made and a
conference committee appointed to
consult with the democrats and the
other parties Of which the county
boasts in regard to uniting on a sec
ond candidate, the desire being to
keep the judiciary out of politics.
Strong for Lindsay.
After the usual pledges Of tealty to
the party and allegiance to the ma
tional and state platforms, the con-
vention adopted the following in re-
gard to the candidacy of the Honor
able William Lindsay:
"In this time of political treachery,
trickery and trades; Of political sale
and barter; Of prostitution OF political
uarties in the interest of dishonorable
fusions for the benefit of corporations
and of corrupt pledges for personal
support, it is gratifying to republicans
to know that in their candidate Tor
governor they have a man whose IN
ltegrity is spotless, whom no ambitious
millionaire or corporation can own,
control, coerce or buy; whose sympa-
thies are with the common people; a
candidate who has made no questions
able or unmanly trades, bargains or
pledges to secure support; liberal n
tolerant in all his views, and who,'a II
elected, Will sturdily maintain and de-
fend every just right Of the humblest
~toiler in the state against all inju-
tice. Armed with his simple honesty
and free from any entangling alliance
or association with corporations or
millionaires; having only the good OF
our state and it's people at heart, we
present to the unbought, u~ninf1uenced
and unawed voters Of Silver Bow
county our candidate for governor the
Honorable William Lindsay, and
pledge to him our united and enthu'
siastic support"
No Corporation Politics.
Notice to keep their hands off was
served upon the large corporations II
the following plain words:
1--WE denounce the interference o
any corporation, whether 1t be tn
Amalgamated Copper company or thu
United Copper company, in our polit
ictl affairs, and any attempt by then
to dictate our nominations or contro
the action of our conventions. Thes'
corporations are not public philan
thropists. They are each equally sci
Ash. and political activity upon ~
part Of any one Of them is 9 sur
sign that they have purely selflsl
ends to serve. For years many OF I'M
voters Of this county and OF the stat
have been divided on lines OF corpora

still being made Of keeping up thes
ouarrels, signs and assurances at
