that the liberation Of the writer's resi-
dence here as an active editor would
bring the city Of Hayre into disrepu e
in the eyes of the other cities of the
state He did. his best to hive Mr..
kester break the partnership and left
no stone unturned to prevent Davenport
from securing foot-hold in Havre
4 The matter was even discussed in the
VI city council chambers and Newman COM
menced laying the ground floor plans to
have the business men as u body boy
cott the Herald in an advertising way
Fand put this plant on the bum in gen
eral Several firms did withdraw their
patronage as a result of his pernicious
activity. And mark you, all this tr MS
pired before Newman had ever cIught
sight Of hair or hide of Warren G.,
"A Davenport and was as ignorant as a
4 clam OF the circumstances attendant to
the incarceration Of the writer in jail
in Butte for the crime OF telling the
truth.
The writer has now put out eight is
sues of the Havre Herald. Nothing has
been done or said in these columns that
would shock the modesty or bring a
blush to the cheek of the most modest
high school girl in Havre The paper is
read in every cultured home in the city
and it's subscription has incre sed not
only in Havre but in all the towns up
and down the valley. Perhaps Ncwnn
| imagined the writer, like himself, pos
sessing no conception Of the eternal fit
ness Of things-'sshake hands with the

such gilly as not to know that what
would be good t'copy" for the Butte x
Ray or. the Butte Reyielle in a wide op-

heat Of a six-year copper war. would not
be adaptable to small town Like Havye.
| Mr. Newman even went farther and told
Mr. Kester that business alliance be-
! tween the two OF US would il, all proba-
bility result in both Hester and Daven-
| port being treated to a coat or Far and
feathers.
Newman will Of course deny. this and
II he does he is a liar by tile watch.
ii. Newman was not alarmed that
Havre's reputation would be injured in
the eyes Of other Montana cities Mr..
Newman simply did not want the king
dom Of Newman invaded by 81 man cap
able, If occasion justified it of grabbing
hold of the English language BY the
butt end and making it crack like a now
bull whip around the ears of L. Newman
to the detrlmenR Of T.. Newman
If the mayor possessed the elementary
principles Of christian manhood and the
instincts Of true gentleman, sometime,

have walked into the Herald office and
said: Gentlemen, I tried to do you q
let of dirt. I yelled before I was hurt.
As a self appointed guardian of the pub
lie T got off to the bad T sized YOU
up wrong and ! owe you an apology"
But why call it Havre? why not bui,d
Chinese wall around the town and
call it Gewmanvlle?
Mark you, the writer is no pinhaad.
Tho Herald is not fighting Newman for
the treatment Newman accorded Messrs
kester and Davenport about February
LIST. Had Newman received the Democra
ic nomination he would have received
the answering support Of this paper
as promised In the Herald Of February
18th, and re-published at the head Of
this article. After being defeated had
he squelshed his petitions and come In
saying Boys I am with you. h!1rrah
for Burke this paper would never have
mentioned his tar and feather blustery in
suits But he has kicked over the trac-
es called himself into convention and
filed his nomination papers containing
twenty-five names with City Clerk c..
A. Rose on March 18th announcing him
self in the Great Falls Tribune the next
day
That is why this paper is pouring so
much Of its editorial buckshot into him
that it will take an extra team on the
hearse to pull his political corpse up to
the has-binery for burial
Never wash dirty linen in print, crem-
ate it in print.
Newman has done q great deal OF
GOOD flor Havre to which he is Justly
not rob him of one bit of same amos could
not if it would. The civic improvements
lave been magnificent under his rl1te-
so are the taxes. His attitude along. NOR
al lines has been Of that type that APP
peals to the heart strings Of the mothers
of ii town. But his position in the lime
light and the toadyings of newspa nafs
have given him the big head. He has
placed himself in the path of the jug
gernaut through no fault of the Herald
and in direct opposition to the conf
dental advice of the writer and being
in the full possession of his faculties
