LABoRITEs AND POPS sUccUMB
TO SIRENS LURES.
SHARE IN ITS PATERNITY
Take Sexless Hybrid to Their Bosom
and Agree to Contribute to
Its Support.

After several days of travail the
latest political accounchments at Hell
ena have been completed and the
joint product of the two is a sexless
m~anstrosity parading under demo
cratic paternity, aided and abetted by
the laborites and populists. The
democrats are willing to father the
thing and the other two promise to
contribute to it's support. A queer
and startling mixture, but the stress
of political necessity is urged in ex-
tenuation of the offense and the peo-
pie of the state are expected to over-
look the lapse of virtue by a couple
of alleged parties professedly so vfr-
tuous and moral that those composing
them are forced to flock by them
selves to avoid contamination by con-
tact with the two greater organiza-
tons. The laborites and pops have
endorsed the democratic state ticket
and say they will vote for it at the
polls.
TooIe Is A~cquiescent.
The laborites sent a committee to
Governor Toole to interview him in
regard to the treatment he proposed
to give it's members in the event OF
his reelection. He gave it the glad
hand and promised those composing
it that he would absolutely not listen
to the siren voice of ambition and
utterly and unqualifiedly refuse dur
ing his term of office to accept an
election as United States senator.
This the committee reported to the
convention and the rest vas easy. Toole
was unanimously nominated for gov
ernor and when it came to the nomi-
nation of men to fill the other Offices
the democratic ticket was read and
endorsed from top to bottom. although
some of the delegates gagged on Nor
IT'S, the CduuludLG lOI llSulSIduL gov.
ernor. They were not certain as to
his friendliness to the cause of labor
and demanded information on that
score. The men from Silver Bow
we're on hand with the necessary data
and the opposition ito him ceased.
One Blank Left.
Although able to swallow the state
ticket, the laborites evidently consid-
cred the dose prepared by the ma
tional democracy a little too bitter,
and they refused to take it. Their
endorsement of the democratic cleo
tors was withheld. An effort to en-
dorse them also was made, but it
proved unsuccessful and the conven-
ton adjourned without making any
nominations for men to represent the
party in the electoral college.

believe he did not stand by his friends
OF four and two years ago. 1t is not

AND THE PoPuLlsTs TOO.
Follow Lead of Laborites and Take
Their Medicine.

Proceedings in the populist conven-
ton were not wholly without spice
and diversion. In fact, things at
times got quite sultry, crediting the
veracious chroniclers of events, the
Helena newspapers.
The first effort of the men with
whiskers was to attempt a fusion
with the laborites. In this they fail
ed and then did the next thing they
regarded as the best-they endorsed
the democratic state ticket, but nomi-
mated presidential electors. The en-
dorsement was given because Tom
Kinds said 1T would teach the upstart
laborites a lesson they had long need
ed. Some of the delegates of the
middle-of-the-road variety baked at
first, but Tom swung them into line
and he had the satisfaction that
comes when one has his own way.
A few would not be swung and held
out for principle. They formed a
hopeless minority and were outvoted
at every turn.
Breen Was Boss.
Peter Breen, sometimes disrespect-
fully called Pete" Breen, the county
attorney of Silver Bow, presided over
the convention and introduced rules
and rulings that undoubtedly made the
shade of Thomas Bracket Reed think
it had cast off this earthly flesh too
soon. Protests and growing proved
of no avail and those who did not
like the way in which he conducted
the proceedings were told hat they
had the privilege and right Of leaving
the room.

"This is probably the last time"
he declared, lowing to the splendid
leadership of my friend Byrne and
his associates, that the populist party

that the program had been arranged

E. P. Harper, Hon. J. @. Robin

vim discussed ''The Value of the
Country Sunday School to the Civic
and Religious Life of Our Country. I"
The subject was we'll handled, each
speaker presenting new thoughts until
the audience realized, as probably
some had not done before, that it's
value cannot be told, or even compre-
hended-that eternity alone will re-
veal the great work done by the noble
men and women who labor and pray
Sunday after Sunday, trying to i'm
press on the hearts of our boys and
girls the precious truths of God s
word. 1t was fitting then that the
officers and teachers should be i'm
pressed with their responsibility.
This was accomplished Nv able speech
