One of its sections says a candidate
for United States senator, representa-
tive in congress-, or for any state
office shall not expend more than
81, 900 to advance his candidacy. The
personal expenditures of a candidate
for any county office are limited to
500, and aspirants for seats in the
state legislature are forbidden to
spend more than $50 to secure cleo
ton.
The intent of this law is good. and
its provisions appear to be adequate
for the purpose in view, but it is
practically a dead letter. The public
officials entrusted with enforcement OF
the law have passed it up, and no pub
lie statement of campaign finances has
been made in Montana, SO far as
known. The law is on the statute
books. however, and it may happen
that its provisions will receive atten.
ton at some future election in which
the use of money may have affected
the result.

GREAT FALLS. Aug. lO.-Four men
killed and two dying is the result of Il
premature explosion Of a blast at the
quarries of the b. Il. NJ. company at
b. x Nj. siding on the Neihart branch.
The men were engaged in blasting out
rock at the Albright quarries which is
utilized in the furnaces at the b. x
Nj. smelter. AS nearly as can be
learned a dynamite charge had been
set Off to crack the rock and later a
heavy charge of black powder had
been put in.
Apparently a piece of burning fuse
had remained in the rock, and had
come into contact with the powder OF
which about ten kegs had been placed
This enormous charge went Off with
out warning, catching the men at work
in that vicinity. Four men we're in
stautly killed and two others SO badly
injured that they are not expected tc
recover. A special train was sen,
down from Albright bringing the two
injured men, the special arriving here
late this afternoon and the two mer

PUBLICITY.

The matter of making public the
