the president is sincere in his determ-

that sentiment is overwhelming and
that he must be forced to accept.
Without something unusual occurs to
change public sentiment in the next

Republican nomination without stul-
tifying himself in the least When he
said on the night of his election that
he would not again be a candidate he
was sincere. In adhering to it now
he will be given credit for sincerity
1t is undoubtedly true that he does not
want the nomination, that he does not
seek the office. But for all that cir

man to lie down or shirk when the

The committee was very generous

THE MINER SMOKED OUT.

The Butte Miner has been "smoke ed
out OF its hole and by Democratic
paper at that. It does not take kindly
to the suggestion of the Anaconda
standard that Democratic organiza-
tlons urge the state convention to nom
mate the party's candidate for Unit
ed States senator. The Miner agrees
with its contemporary that it would
be mighty good suggestion" for the
Republicans. but would not do at all
for the Democrats.
The Standard has compelled the
Miner to "show it's hand" before the
political game was fairly opened. Or
dlnarily with characteristic highfalutin
the Miner would be advocating the
widest participation on the part of
Democratic voters in naming a candi-
date of the party for senator But this
would not suit the Miners plans and
purposes in the coming state conven-
ton. 1t would not do this year. And
the reason is plain.
There is hardly any question that
w. A. Clark is candidate to succeed
himself in case the legislature is Dem
ocratic, and it would give the whole
snap away for the Democrats to make
another choice at their state conven-
ton. 1t would be bad enough to car
ry out the present "gOld brick
scheme without being compelled to is-
more the expressed wish of delegates
fresh from the people and the cOnven.
tons endorsement. That would be
pretty rank but it might be done. The
Miner seeks to avert the necessity.
To conceal its true objection to the
plan the Miner makes the specious
plea that to name the candidate for
senator in the convention would damp

dates before the legislature in work

tude of being controlled by their own
selfish interests, something which they
will likely resent.
The Miner is very adroit but it will
deceive no one. W. A. Clark would
like the senatorial toga again if he can
get it without having his leg pulled
from its socket and his odious career
and total unfitness for public office
brought into the limelight of public

watch Montana politics with absorb

again being chosen senator from this
state must be averted by making the

The Anti-Bnbery League proposes to
make elections IN Delaware clean and

vigorously against both the giyers and
the takers OF brides for votes. This may
not seem like large undertaking but il
is, under the conditions that have grown
up IN this State. Money and effort will be
be needed, and the League will have both.
But in addition it needs the hearty SYM

people may extend by signing the Leagues
