of labor, or what ought to be the high

is, it is essential for the restoration
Of prosperity of this country that we
should make here what we can make
without natural disadvantages instead
of having it made abroad, because lab

than here. Hence in this bill we have
endeavOred to restore our industries,
to restore opportunities for labor to
people who are now out Of work. When
those people get to work again, when
the producing capacity of our people
shall be raised by having all of them
at work for good wages, then there
will be an increased demand for pro-
ducts; then prices will rise; then pros
perity will set in, and then will come
again those favorable conditions

the Republican side.)
Mr.. Chairman / can see those two
leaders yet as they solemnly went on
record. They had agreed that the is
sue was prosperity, but they differed
as to the methods of bringing it about.
They stood in this chamber and
matched prophecies on what would
follow in the wake of our proposed
solution of the problem.
We are face to face to-day with what
has accumulated since those proph-
ecies were made. Which man was the
prophet in 1897, your leader or ours?
Which man gave evidence of profound
craftsmanship in 1897, your leader or
ours?
I'VE agree that the issue was pros
perity. Now, let us see further if we
have it, and if we have it, whether
it is local or national

The opinion is generally entertain
ed in the east that in case of the
success Of Hearst in the New York
election, he will be the next Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency.
Should this prove true it is conceded
that President Roosevelt would have
ii yield to a well nigh universal de-
mand to again accept the renomina-
ton on the Republican ticket. In vot-
ing to sustain Roosevelt now the peo-
pie may be doing more in that direc-
ton than is apparent just at the
present time.

Attorney General Albert ]. Ga.
len has brought suits to recover for
the state s245,OOO alleged to have
been received by three state treasur
ers from banks as interest on state
money. The defendants are j. II. Rice,
the present treasurer, and A. H. Bar
ret and Timothy E. Collins, his two
predecessors in the Office. In each
case the treasurer and his bondsmen
are made defendants. There are two
suits against T. E. Collins because OF
the fact he gave two bonds during his
term of office; one is for $4,000
and the other for 100000. The sums
asked by the state from the treasurers
are as follows: j. H. Rice, 100000;
A. H. Barrel, $4,000; T. E. Collins.
$1O5000. 1t will be seen that two of
the three against whom suit has been
brought were former Democratic state
treasurers. Has Governor Toole ever
taken any steps to recover interest
money for the state that is alleged
to have been collected by the Demo-
cratic treasurers? Former Treasurer
Collins is now state examiner. Has
he ever made any report touching up.
on the interests on state funds? No:
he has been discreetly silent for the
reason that he is as deep in the mud
as the others are in the mire. 1t

Of high intelligence and capacity for
legislative work. If elected he will be
busy legislator, a man of deeds in

II there is any redress in law he will
keep after the offenders until the
amiunt sued for is covered into the
state treasury.
President Roosevelt is an issue not
only In Montana but in every state
of the union. and on next Tuesday he
will be endorsed by the voters Of the
United States. The return Of Re-
publican house of representatives is
assured. But the voters Of Montana
can assist in securing good working
majority by electing Charles N. Pray.
Unlike his opponent he does not have
to stultify himself by saying that he
is in favor of a atriff on wool because
he Is engaged in the sheep business
and would like a few votes from those
similarly interested. Mr.. Pray is in
favor Of protection to all of Mon
tanas industries affected by a tariff,
wool, cattle. hides and lead. Mr..
Walsh is a disciple of Prof. Will
son and is in fact an out and out
free trader when not seeking an Office.
So is Joseph K. Toole, as his utter
ances in past campaigns and endorse
ments Of national Democratic plat
forms clearly prove. President Roose-
welt asks for the return of a congress
of his own political faith. Does he
know what he wants? Is he asking
anything unreasonable of the voters
of Montana? Is he not the proven
friend of the people of this state? If
this be true. why, then. should not
Charles N. Pray succeed Mr. Dixon
in the house and a Republican occupy
the seat Of Mr.. Clark in the senate?
The candidacy of Dick Baker. Re-
publican candidate for sheriff, has been
one OF the surprises of the campaign.
lie was not SO well known to the peo-
pie OF the county as his opponent when
the campaign opened. But he has
been out among the voters for the
past two or three weeks and they find
IN him a man who will make an ideal
sheriff. Without any Official pull or
previous grooming for the place he
has steadily gained in the confidence
and esteem of the voters by his man
ly bearing and the clean manner in
which he conducts his campaign. In
all OF the walks of life Mr.. Baker is
a good citizen. He is entitled to the
full strength of his party's vote and
the support Of those who vote indie
