cipal opposition to Mr.. Walsh, the
leading democratic senatorial candi-
date, comes from the Silver Bow
delegation, among which are several
business employees Of big mining
corporation. For the past three
weeks, the Silver Bow members, with
one exception, have voted for can
didate who is not their real choice
for the senatorship, but with whom
they hope to break down the Walsh
strength and effect compromise up
on some other candidate who would
be acceptable to the corporate inter-
ests If this purpose cannot be ac-
complished, they are prepared to
continue the deadlock and adjourn
without electing United States SEN

matters OF legislation it is frequently
the determining factor. When a
member introduces bill upon some
important subject, his first endeavor
is to ascertain whether corporate in
fluences are favorable or opposed to
it. If the latter, its chances of enact
ment into law are placed in the
doubtful column.
This corporation dictatorship is re-
sented throughout Montana: 1t is
becoming intolerable, and invites re-
taliation. When the people are con-
fronted with the proposition that cor
porate influences shall dictate their
choice for congressional honors, Or
determine the legislative service they
shall secure, it is not difficult to pre-
dict the result. A prudent regard toi
the future should suggest to cor
porate influences that crowding tht
limit in this connection is short

A CORPORATION
DICTATORSHIP
The Senatorial Deadlock Was Due
to Corporation Influence

The - senatorial deadlock in the
Twelfth assembly supplies further
evidence of corporation interference
in the political affairs of this COM
monwealth. That has been the sit
uation at former legislative sessions,
and it threatens to continue until
fair re-apportionment is made and
direct primary law is enacted.
There is a disposition among re-
publican newspapers, for partisan
reasons, to represent the present SEN
atorial deadlock as a horrible ex-
ample of democratic impotence; but
it is apparent to any fair minded OBJ
server that, were the conditions re-
versed-if the republicans controlled
the Twelfth assembly, and majority
of the party membership favored a
senatorial candidate who was objec-
tionable to certain corporate inter
ests-the same tactics would be en-
ployed to effect deadlock of the
assembly.
Reverting back to senatorial dead
locks of former sessions, it will be
remembered that w. A. Clark was
the leading senatorial candidate in a
democratic legislative assembly, but
was opposed by corporation influences
that controlled minority Of the
democratic membership. 1t was a
bitter contest, in which money was
spent with a lavish hand, and the
election of Mr.. Clark at that time
was generally acknowledged to have
been accomplished by corrupt meth
DDS. The stigma of bribery has de
faced Clark's political record since
that memorable occasion, but there
was excuse for his alleged wrong
doing in the unfair methods adopted
by his opponents. He fought hr'
with fire. The democratic minorit,
was debauched by corporation tyrann,
and other influences, and Clark's onl.
way to beat the game was to buy tn
necessary votes. 1t was dirty busi
ness in which senatorial aspiran
who was determined to- win was com
PEELED to soil his hands and besmirc
his reputation.

my one desire in this matter is
to leave no stone unturned to secure
the enactment of meritorious meas
ures-laws that will make for the bet

laws that are advocated by the great
body of Montanas citizens, and laws

ments to the assembly that places

tire Northwest and is exceptionally
we'll located to serve the newly de

Mr.. w. N. Smith, who is in charge
of the manufacturing end of the busi-
ness of the Grafton Roller Mill com
pany, will remain in charge of tina;
department Of the business of the
new company and will act as super

present time.
The business will be under the
management of c. r. McClave, the
present manager of the Montana

and the very best manufacturing
ability, it would seem that the Ju

place in the industry in Montana, an
one which will grow in importanc
with the development of this section
of the state.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
IT'S SCOPE AND OBJECT
A Commercial Club is a Great Help
to any Town and Demands Help
From Progressive Citizens

A man owes it to his town to boost
it in public on all occasions, and at
all times. The correction of its fail
ures and faults are for the privacy
of the home circle. A man who
would thrash his boy on the front
steps of the court house ought to be
whipped out of town.
The citizen who welcomes the
stranger by telling him what rot
ten city government we have; what
a corrupt set of officials misrule the
town; how the town lags behind the
age in all matters of progress and
development; that it is dead town
and will be so long as certain men
rule it. is an undesirable citizen.
A man owes it to his town to
shout its advantages from the house
tops. The entire registry list should
be the promotion committee. If
necessary, put binders on the visitor,
and let him see but what you want
him to see.
When he asks you what chance a
poor man has in town, tell him the
truth. Tell him the poor man is the
only man who has chance. And
that is no joke. Show him the beau
tiful homes Of the men who came
here with a capital of working hands
and thinking brains. Tell him the
story of the man who began with
day wages. Tell him you think there
should be a law compelling the poor
man to give the rich man chance.
1t was the penniless boys like John
Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Phil
Armour and that class, who backed
the rich mems sons of their poverty
laden days clear off the earth
Robert j. Burdette.
The scope and object of COM
mercial club is primarily for bring
ing factories, industries and popula-
ton to our city, but that is not easily
accomplished. No new industry can
be transplanted like a tree and be
expected to flourish. 1t must be
nourished, the field must be cultivated
and proper precautions taken for its
care when in it's new home. Prospec-
tive industries demand cold, hard
facts regarding prospective sites.
They must see that spirit of har
mony, not disruption, is permeating
the citizens of the town and they
must in due time be offered induce
ments to locate. The commercial
club is the agency for directing and
concentrating the boosting powers OF
a community and as this force grows
greater by true understanding OF
conditions and needs of city, the
results obtained by a commercial club
are correspondingly increased. Civic
pride will accomplish great things for
any city. Once awakened, it is a
power that will never die and in its
course will transform almost beyond
recognition the town in which it i:
inspired. Let the citizens realize
that they need better streets, bett Il
sidewalks, more parks and driveway
and you have solved one of the prob
lens of the growth of your city
Treat each stranger that comes te
town as though he were worth mil
lions and prospective citizen ant
you have added booster to you
list Boosting is contagious ant
there is no known serum which cal
counteract it. Arouse in the com
munity such feeling of pride an
patriotism for the city, that petty dii
ferences and picayune quarrels ar
forgotten in the effort to impress tn
outside world with your growth an
prosperity.
