While some of the Democrats OF
this county feel sure that w. A. Clark
will be a candidate to succeed himself
should the legislature be Democratic
they don't take kindly to his cheap
method of accomplishing his ambition
They don't care so much for Clark as
tbnV do fp, his .ba rrof rrI,1- I,,o,.
he is unfit to represent Montana in
HE federal senate but they would like
o have him get into the campaign
with both feet ana ''jar loose" from
he send-off. They want some one TO
pay the freight of the delegates 10 (
the state convention and as Clark did
mat once before it would be mighty
kind in him to do it again. Possibly
W. G. Conrad or II. l.. Frank would
come to the rescue il they thought \
Senator Clark was out Of the race
The fact that the Butte Miner oppos-
rs the naming of candidate for the
senate at the state convention is pretty
strong evidence that Clark will be a
candidate before the legislature if the
opposition secures control. The vot-
ers should guard against it at the polls. |
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker Of
the house was renominated for con
gress last week. at his home in Dan
Vile. Illinois. His address. a liberia
portion of which will be found else |
where is regarded as the keynote OF t
the congressional campaign and his
greatest effort The way in which he
has marshaled facts and figures to
prove the wisdom of Republican poll /
cies and measures will prove interest
ing reading and be of great value to
Republican campaigners throughout
the nation. There is no better inform
ed man in the national halls of con
gress than Uncle Joe" Cannon and he
enjoys the confidence of the American
people for his integrity and truthful .
ness. His great speech should, and .
doubtless will. be given wide circula-
There are already indications of dis
cord in local Democratic ranks over
the county attorneyship. Naturally.
the present incumbent. Roy E. Ayers.
is candidate for denomination and
by the coming conven-
ton, but there is a certain element in
the party that is holly opposed to him
and it is making every effort to ac-
complish his defeat. Mr.. Ayers, in its
opinion, has been most to active in
the law against gambling
and has antagonized what has hereto
fore been the strongest factor to DEM
ocratic success at the polls in this
county. The opposition to Mr.. Ayers
has decided upon David Scott as it's
candidate and the chances are he will
get the nomination. Which ever way
the table turns there is going to be
merry time.
