The blighting curse of mining litigation
and the rule of the vulgar million
oires been endured long enough? In
stead of getting free from such domi-
nation and representation are we not
promised a double dose? Has not j.
X. Toole meekly cast aside his sena-
torial ambition, by pledge, in order to
leave the field clear for another mil
lionaire-W. G. Conrad?
AS to the legislative candidates in
this county, what has the opposition
to offer? Mr.. Dennis may be a young
man of good character and industrious
habits, but he is an unknown quanti-
ty. Mr.. Hilger is entitled to nothing
more than his party's support, If he
is that. The people of this county
should demand free moral agents in
the legislature, not the agents of Aug
ustus Heinze or the Amalgamated Cop
per company. Mr.. Heinze had a good
many wires in the last legislature and
Mr.. Hilger was at the end of one of
them. He was absolutely at the beck
and call of this representative of the
United Copper company.
What is the situation today in this
state? In Butte and all over the up
per country, the belief is general that
Mr.. Heinze has disposed of his inter
ests to the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany and in the deal he was to do
what he could to turn over the state,
and particularly the legislature. to this
grasping corporation. Governor Toole
is believed to be a party to the po-
litical transfer and in this he is to be
aided and abetted by David Hilger
and all of the lesser lights of the Mon.
tana Democracy. now a strange mix
ture of everything that has ever had
a party name in this state.
Are not all of the great mining cor.
porations in the state supporting that
party today?
AS some one has said. the issue in
this state is likely TO narrow down to
a contest between Silver Bow and all
the other twenty-five counties of the
state. 1t looks that way if the people
are to have any rights at all.
The voters of Fergus county should
protect themselves from this danger
by voting for men who are not chain
ed to the Heinze or any other chariot
Such men are Hon. w. A. Hedges and
George J. Wiedeman.
Let every Republican stand Loyalty
by his legislative ticket, to the end
that the big mining corporations can
not dominate and own the state and
that Montana may send a Republican
senator to Washington.

FALSE AND MISLEADING.

When 1t comes to the matter OF
credit for the national irrigation law
the Democratic press, as usual, deals
in false statements and subterfuge in
order TO make political capital. For
instance. one paper says: Secretary
Shaw denied that the Democrats are
entitled to any credit in connection
with national irrigation" Mr.. Shaw
made no such statement, as anyone
who read his Denver address. publish.
ed in the Argus. knows. On the other
hand, he gave all of those who, for
the past decade have been working for
national irrigation. due credit. He
could not see how il was possible for
a senator or a representative from the
arid states TO advocate anything else.
Opposition would mean political death.
II Is easy enough to be in harmony
with the sentiments of ones own con
s~tituents on such a question. But ey-
cry western mar knows that there
was a strong prejudice in the east and
especially in the Mississippi valley
against the national government COM
ing to the aid of the arid states of the
west in the matter of irrigation. Not
on account of the cost alone was there
opposition but from the fact that the
restoring of these lands was likely to
bring new agricultural areas into com.
petition with the states of the mid
die west. That there was little Dem
ocratic opposition from that region in
the house and senate is due to the
fact that the party has very small rep
resentation from that part of the coun.
try. 1t is conceded that President
Roosevelt at first had to face strong
opposition in his own party. But he
knew the needs of the far west, he had
lived here and was In sympathy with
our people. Believing that the efforts
to secure a national irrigation law
was a jst one he recommended 1t IN
his first message and thereafter did
everything in his power to secure

BY an unfortunate oversight the
name OF Albert J.. Galen, the able
young lawyer and popular Republican
OF Lewis and Clarke county who was
named at the Republican state con
yention for attorney general, was
omitted in the certificate OF nomina-
lions required by law to be filed by
the chairman and secretary of said
convention. The omission was not
discovered until after the time for
Ming had passed and nee was felt
by MIR. Galen's best friends and sup
porters, and by Republicans general
ly, lest the omission might in some
way injure him. No apprehension
need be felt on this score. lmmedi'

IN A CLOSE PLACE.
All Debauchery and crookedness in
Montana is This Year United.

Helena Record: II is not strange
that the Democratic press of Montana
do not enthuse greatly over either
their cause or their party in this state.
There is not much pointing with
pride" to the record of their party dur
ing the past eight years. No matter
which wing they desire to praise they
are stopped on the threshold by the
knowledge that too much of evil has
been shown to attach to that wing to
permit of their endorsement. And
now that they have Joined together
and agreed to break square to each
other, at least until after election, the
spectacle they present to the honest
Democratic editor has no parallel save
that described by Humboldt which he
saw in his travels in South America.
On the plain before him he found
linked and twisted into a seemingly
inextricable and writhing mass a hun
dred huge serpents, their kissing
heads pointing in every direction, for.
midable. hideous and repellant past all
description. He supposed that under
the dread of a great storm or an earth.
quake they had cooled themselves TO.
gether in that way through some blind
instinct of defense.
The Democracy OF Montana makes
something of such a presentation to-
day. The boodleT, the bride taker and
bride giver, the reptile who sells a
free ballot, the great reptile who uses
the means he has been able to accum
ulate i'm this generous country to buy
honors by debauching the ballot
which is the countIy's only safeguard
short of the sword-the pcrjurer, n
of the meanest of reptiles, the pro-
curer who for money seeks to draw
mems souls into the embraces of NAM
mon: the CRATER who makes merchan-
disc of rich and poor suckers alike,
the bully who is the defender OF every
crime the rich man may commit, the
s~landerer, the s%ycophant, the oath
breaker, the whole company Of crawl
ing things are this year interlaced to-
gether, and approached from either
side, they make the same writing
mass, they awaken the same coward
ly Kisses.
It is no wonder that honest editors
recoil before such a presentation and
are forced to conline their writing to
mere g~eneralities. BY this we do not
mean to say that there are not thous-
ands of honest, clean, high-minded
Democrats in Montana, put their party
carries in it all the elements which
have brought shame and reproach up
IN Montana for years. each succeeding
ear bringing new iniamies TO light
until all decent men Of all parties turn
in loathing from the spectacle.
And there is no way within the partv
70 shake this reputation off, for while
heretofore the corruptors of the NOR
ais of the state have been separated.
they are altogether this year.
Fearing a storm or an earthquake
of public Indignation they have this
ear Joined forces, this year they are
In the same loathsome and scaly fold,
and their heretofore single Kisses are
now a chorus.
No wonder there is 10 enthusiasm In
Democratic newspapers; 40 wonder
they dare not rehearse the shameful
history or tell their readers that their
party is worthy of trust.

REPUBLICANS, AWAKE!

This is the political campaign above
all others when it should not be nee.
essary to urge Republicans to be sure
and register and be sure and vote
their legislative ticket. Lay aside all
personal differences and trivial Objec-
tons, if any exist, to the candidates.
and vote your party principles. Much
may depend upon the legislative ticket
in Fergus county. Don't be misled by
any appeal for a vote as a matter of
personal favor More than in any
other way a vote for your legislative
ticket expresses your conviction upon
national policies.
You do not vote for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks direct, but for electors who
express your will and cast the vote
of this state in accordance Herewith
next January. So, in voting your leg
islative. ticket, you Are voting for men
who will represent your views and
your choice next January, when a
United States senator is to be elected
by the legislature.
If you earnestly desire the election
of Theodore Roosevelt you should be
just as much concerned in having the
upper and lower houses of congress in
political harmony with him. The com.
plexion of the federal senate can not
he changed at this election but 1t is
possible that it may be in the next
tour years. A Republican senator from
Montana. whose term would be six
years. would lessen the danger OF the
upper house falling into Democratic
control in the near future.
Do you want a continuance OF the
wise policies which have not only
made the nation great and won the
admiration of mankind everywhere
but which have brought prosperity to
all of our industries? II SO, you must
see that President Roosevelt is sup
ported by a Republican senate and
house.
Az regards our own state. has not
