BASEBALL SEASON At
AN END
GAME WITH CANADIAN TWI-
LIGHTERS CANCELLED AND NO
MORE GAMES EXPECTED.

With the canceling yesterday of the
scheduled games with the Barn
stormers," the all-star team of the
Canadian Twilight league the Hamil-
ton ball team finds itself without a
game in prospect and the season at
an end. Games were to be played
with the Canadians Saturday and Sun
day, but a telegram received yester-
day by w. A. Crush advised that they
had disbanded and would not be here.
The season ends with a goodly
quantity of baseball enthusiasm in
Hamilton. The locals have carried the
fame of Hamilton all over the state,
winning in contests with the best
aggregations ever assembled in Mon
tana, and the prospect for an even
better team next year is good Most
of this years players will remain here,
and other strong men will be added
to fill whatever vacancies may occur.
While the question of state cham
pionship is still unsettled, Hamilton
has maintained the strongest regular
ball team throughout the year. The four
strongest teams in the state were
Dillon, Kalispell, Billings and Hamil-
ton, and none of them can rightfully
claim the championship plume, as the
title was never fully settled.

AMALCAMATED COMPANY TO
POCKET RAVALL| COUNTY
Controlled Democratic Convention and
Now Seeks to Run Republicans
Sensational Disclosure.

The Amalgamated company is plan
ming to pocket Ravalli county political
ly and to make its Representatives in
the legislature mere servile pawns to
do it's bidding. No business enterprise
of this enormous corporation was ever
more carefully planned; no more de-
liberate attempt was ever made to rob
the people of their rights. and none
has ever given more prospect of
success.
The Amalgamated, or Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, has two great
centralized projects the first is to
pack the legislature with men whom it
does or can control; the second is to
return Senator Carter to the senate,
where, with Aldrich, Cannon and
others of the notorious standpat
crowd, he will continue to serve the
organized corporate greed of the
country.
How 1t viii Do 1t.
The company is, and has been for
weeks, working, through both the dem
ocratic and republican parties, to
name the legislative candidates in Ra-
valli and other counties of the state.
1t does not purpose to take any
chances, so it is operating through
both political organizations.
That the Anaconda company domi-
mated the democratic county conven-
ton in Hamilton last Saturday is an
absolute verify, made certain by the
plain disclosure in the matter of nam
ing a candidate for state senator. H.
G. Croft was a bona fide candidate
weeks before the convention, and it
was organized to secure his nomina-
ton. This statement is made on the
authority of Attorney G. S. Wagner OF
Hamilton, who was on the inside Of
the frameup and knows all the details
of it's working out. Since Wagner S
own treatment in the convention
ton as county attorney and was
double-crossed by the element in con-
troll, he has not been backward in
expressing his mind. He says the mat
ter of naming a candidate for state
senator was taken in hand by Anal
gamated agents early last spring and
carefully developed for six months
The company's chief interest was in
this nomination. The late Hon
Charles M. Crutchfield was committed
with the task of selecting a nominee
and after repeated conferences with
other Representatives of the company
Mr.. Croft was chosen as the accept
able man. His legislative service, il
was pointed out, warranted the belief
that he would not prove unfriendly tc
the company's designs.
While Mr.. Croft ostensibly was no'
a candidate before the convention, Mr.
Wagner says he knew of his nomina
tion before hand and expected 1t.
count of delegates had shown that no
more than 10 would oppose the
frame-up. No more were conceded
to the opposition Groff's protesta
tions that he could not accept were tt
assist the well-oiled stampede.
Mr.. Croft VIII Not Run.
Mr.. Croft, however, really did no
care to resign his position in the Vic
tor bank to run for the senate. H
The Western news. [volume] (Stevensville, Mont.) 1890-1977, 1910-09-09

stated TO reporter for this paper,
after the convention, that he would not
remain candidate. and has since writ
ten that he cannot accept This has
led some to state that the company's
original intention was to let the head
cap it by the selection of a candidate
| by the central committee.
Only One Issue.
Only one issue governed in the
workings of the unseen Amalgamated
! force in the convention, and that was
the elimination of Senator Romney,
who voted against House Bill No. 100
and has always opposed the Amalga-
mated company whenever it sought to
| This is published on the statement of
| Wagner. Delegates were never ques-
toned as to their preferences as be
| tween rival candidates for purely
county offices This is further
borne out by the fact that delegates
voted for Croft who were not even
acquainted with him and were warm
personal friends of the present in
cumbent The activity of the men who
championed Mr.. Groffs candidacy, on
the street and in the convention, and
their corporate connections, disclosed
the Amalgamated steam-roller.
After Republican Convention.
The Anaconda company is now after
the republican convention, which
meets in Hamilton Monday, and will
tseek to employ the same methods to
control it. 1t appears that the com
pany has turned against Ben Plummer,
who served it faithfully in the past
and has since become a Bitter Root
farmer. Thomas Baird of Stevensville,
it is predicted, will be nominated if
the powers combine effectively Attor-
ney George Baggs of Stevensville was
in Hamilton last night and asserted
that the Amalgamated will be satisfied
with nothing less than Plummer's de-
feat. 1t is thought that, while the
company has nothing against
Plummer, it doesn't want him at this
juncture, and believes the people
should have nothing to say about who
shall be nominated. John Morony re-
Gently made trip to the valley and
said Plummer wouldn't do.
Must Have Carter.
John r. Toole, when in Hamilton
recently, said this would be bad
year for democrats in Montana This
is taken to mean that the Amalga-
mated company will accomplish the
reelection of Carter at any cost, pre-
ferring for this reason to elect re-
publican legislature, but unwilling to
take chances ON an independent man
in either party. Thus the talk Is that
the people of Ravalli county will be
between the devil and the deep sea in
any event, with no choice except to
take the medicine the company
concocts.
And thus are the rights of the people
slipping slowly but surely away, while
this giant corporation, with $780,
100000 capitalization, is Tightening its
hold on the liberties of citizenship and
effacing the last vestige of representa-
tive rule in Montana
