THROWS IN WITH FRITZ.
Mayor Edwards Reported to Have
Joined the Crust Busters.


Helena. April G.-The Republican
political kaleidoscope is showing
many colors and in rapid succession
these days. AS one Republican put IL
today, Frank Edwards Is the live
lest dead n you ever saw" and the
events Of the past few days go to
prove that the Edwards man is not
far wrong. The defeated city leader
started off the day by having County
Attorney Working issue his closing
order, and he wound 1t up by having
a conference with Tom Kinds, in
which 1t was decided that Mr.. Ed.
wards would be the head and front OF
the Republican branch in Lewis and
Clarke county of the Montana Ore
Purchasing company's antitrust par.
ty.
The conference tonight between rep.
resentatievs of the Montana Ore Pur
chasing company and Mr.. Edwards
was not the first this week. The first
was on Tuesday night at the Helena
hotel after the closeup gambling or
der had been decided upon. County
Attorney Working left then and his
place in the conference was taken by
Tom Kinds of Butte. Mr.. Kinds was
only interested in a general way In
the municipal election. but the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company is par
ticularly interested in the coming Re
publican state convention. After the
conference Tuesday night DR.. o. NJ
Lanstrum, of Marysville, who was il
1t with Mayor Edwards and anotheI
prominent Republican Of this city
said the overtures of Mr.. Kinds hat
been rejected. But that was evident
ly an ~inadvertent statement.
Tonight there was another confer
ence between Mr.. Kinds, as the rep
resentative of the political depart
ment of the Montana Ore Purchasing
company. Mayor Edwards and thu
same Republican who was at thu
Tuesday night conference. In add
tion there were three other Republi
cans. This meeting tonight was hell
in an office in the Pittsburg blocl
and its conclusion IA eminenrly SAT
isfactory to Mr.. Kinds, and probabl.
to Mr.. Edwards. as he is to be TIL
leader of the Montana Ore Purchas
ing company's Republican anti-trus
forces in this country.

second Assistant Secretary Of State
a Very Steady Job.
Other officials in the department
of state at Washington come and go,
but the Second Assistant Secretary
is a permanent fun~ctionary. holding
his job for life. This is owing chief
ly TO the fact that in that branch of
the government service il is abso-
lutely necessary TO have somebody
who. through a complete acquaint.
ance with all %precedents and tradi-
tions. knows what to do in any emer.
gency that may arise.
Thus il comes about that. though
the office was created as long ago as
1866, there have been up to date only
two Second Assistant Secretaries of
the Department OF state. The first
incumbent was William Hunter. for
whom the position was created. He
served the department fifty odd years
in various capacities. and during
most of this period our foreign at.
fairs may be said to have revolved
around him. On his death he was
succeeded by the incompatible A. A,
Adee.

abroad has its Adee-the %indispensa

time that Manager Wilson. of the
L.ewistown-H arlowton line, tried run

Harlowton. He sent for a specially
built machine and imported an ex-
perienced chauffeur from st. Louis to
run il. The chaufftIr was a success
but the auto was not. Ii was found
utterly impracticable and soon dis
carded. Mr.. Rink. who came ont TO
operate the machine. stated to the
Argus that a much heavier machine
might work for a few weeks in the
year but ii would be hardly a paying
proposition. Nothing would give us
more pleasure than TO see a red dew

idea for Mr.. Doherty to keep his

just as soon as the machines may
