FAIRNESS TO THE PRESIDENT

Representative r. NJ. Washburn
made a logical plea for justice to Pres.
ident Roosevelt before the New Eng.
land Hardware Association of Boston,
which Tor fairness and truth stands
above any expression brought out be.
cause Of the recent financial depres.
sion, He said:
Let us stick to the issue and be
fair. II the president is to be charged
with a Roosevelt panic for six months
let us credit him with six years Of the
greatest prosperity this country has
ever known. And whatever. the yer.
dict. is, let us remember that Q great
or and better interest is taken in poll.
tics today than ever; also. that to
Roosevelt nor than any other man
is owing this high morale"
OF course it was long ago acknowl
edged BY thinking men and women
that It was not the president who
caused the financial troubles. but
rather the spectators Of Wall street.
whose un.American methods had
brought about conditions that forced
a panic. In his relations to that panic.
II his acts did bring it about, Presi-
dent Roosevelt should only be consid.
cred q surgeon, who cognizant Of the
presence Of q malignant, progressive
disease in our industrial life, q dis.
ease which was sapping at the very
strength OF the nation. did not wait
for the disease to reach It's crisis, but
Immediately took steps to stop its
ravages.

THE MONTANA DELEGATION.

The political organs in Butte and
Helena are doing everything in their
power to persuade the republican
party Of Montana that it should send
an Instructed delegation to the Chi
cage convention, instructed to vote
for William H. Taft as the nominee
for the presidency. They are loudly
clamoring that Montana Is for Taft.
The esteemed editor OF. the Butte
Evening News even went so tar as
to telegraph the fact to Taft head
quarters, and he was rightly called
down by some of the republican week
lies Of the state for assuming. TO speak
for the party at large.
There is excellent ground for the
belief that these men are counting
their chickens before they are
Matched. While It cannot be denied
that there IL q strong sentiment in
the state favorable to Mr.. Taft. It 70
also ! fact that there 10 . strong senti.
ment in the state favorable to Gov.
ernor Hughes Of New York. Political
prognosticators and men who are &C.
quainted with conditions in the, state
are free to admit that there Is q strong
under-current in the party for Gov.
ernor Hughes. The Gazette believes
that with either man as q nominee
a goodly republican majority can be
polled In the coming election. The
very fact that this sentiment for Gov.
ernor Hughes exists should cause the
convention to hesitate before It In
structs the delegates to Chicago to
vote for Secretary Of War. Taft. It
would be far better to send q delega.
ton un%instructed to the convention.
While the vote Of Montana Is small
in the convention, at the same time
conditions might arise through which
the delegates from this state could dc
much good for the party and for the
state II they were free TO act - they
believed to Be best. The coming con
vention promises to be one Of the
most important in the history Of the
party; It will have great questions +
solve. 30 the state Of Montana should
choose its most capable men as dele
gates. and then send them down t.
Chicago Instructed to do. what they
think best for the party and the! ma
ton. There Is eason to believe thai
an uninstructed delegation would BIZ
more influential in the convention
than one tied hand and foot.

John Hays Hammond, chief mining
engineer in the service Of the Guggen-

smelter employee at $1.75 q day asking
for an increase he would have been

WHERE MONTANA STANDS.

! WHERE MONTANA STANDS.
When the state republican CONVEX,
ton meets and selects delegates to-
the national convention in Chicago
there is excellent reason to believe
that those delegates win 90 to the M
tional convention uninstructed. This
is az 1t should be. The men from Mon
tana. must be foot loose that they may
act for the best interest Of the party.
the state and the nation. The Gazette
editorially expressed itself on this sub
ject Sunday morning, calling alton
ton to the Efforts that were. being
made BY some politicians and political
organs to lead to the. belief that Mon
tana IL for Taft for president.
Other independent republican news
papers Of the state are expressing Q
like opinion. While these papers
have nothing against Mr. Taft and ex-
press the belief, as did this paper,
that IL nominated he will carry Mon
stana, they asserted sas we did that he
is not. the unanimous choice Of the re-
publicans Of Montana for the presi-
Dental nomination. There are scores
of republicans in this state who
are for Governor Hughes. There are
others, and N leading newspaper in
particular, that are for Senator La
Toilette. |, Several are not adverse to
the nomination Of Speaker Cannon.
This being the case, it car readily be
seen that the republicans Of this state
are not unanimously for Taft and no
instructions should he. given the dele
cation to Chicago. Any information
dispensed in, the state or out OF It to
the effect that the secretary OF war
has this state in his pocket wilfully
misleads the people.
The ideas OF the republicans Of the
state are expressed by the Plainsman,
q republican newspaper published in
Plains, in the closing paragraph Of an
editorial on the political situation in
-. .7nE. t%E6FF aFH SE% Vs. F7T+5g. .SHH-E.g
which it says:
Montana is safely republican fol
many years to come. Some Of the re
publican press, notably The Butte
Evening News, however, err in en-
deavoring to force any candidate upor
this state. The News statement thai
Montana is overwhelmingly Taft II
pure bosh. The News can know alb
solutely nothing about Montana's In
tentions in this regard. for, frankly
nobody knows. This state win sup
port the nominee, whoever he is-ex
cept one or two reactionartes Who can
not be nominated in Chicago. But /
IL not pledged to Mr.. TAFT. although 1
may be 30 pledged. The party in Mon
tana should shun every appearance o
bossism. The delegates should be POI
mitted TO endorse whom they will
without fear or favor"

About fifteen D!ggers romped
and scanipered wildly about Webb
park yesterday afternoon while a
crowd OF several hundred fans,
more than attended many of the
games toward the close of last
saeson, sat in the bleachers and
watched.
About five minutes after 'Win-
dy'' Lotshaw got on the field he
was known to every fan and the
continuous chirping of the wild
and woody Hoosier kept the bugs
amused. Lotshaw is almost Tate's
double and fully as untamed. He
swings hard on the ball and It
