MONTANA'S NEW SENATOR
 IS DEMOCRATIC FIGHTER

Helena, AEont.. March s-Henry L. Meyer. Montana's new Senator who will succeed Thomas H. Carter. is known as the hardest fighter of the State Legislature. He earned this title a decade ago when he put up such a bitter fight to prevent William A. Clark from securing the seat which he will now occupy himself. He is unknown in national politics. but dur ing a residence of IS years in the State has shown himself to be a champion of the people and an ardent exponent of the square deal"
 As a dark horse candidate, whose name was sprung at the last moment of an expiring session. Meyer proved acceptable to the corporation interests and the independents alike. Without the consent of the corporation powers it was impossible to solidify the Dem- ocratfc majority in the Legislature.
 The Legislature had been dead1ocked since January g. Twenty-six ballots were taken yesterday.

State Business Mems Association of
 Connecticut,
 My dear Sirs:-Y our letter duly re- ceived. If am elected Senator of the 18th District I will be in favor of the adoption, by the next General Assembly, of some measure which will give the. people of the State a certain control and supervision over it's public service corporations. Rec ognizing the need of some such law I naturally will, if elected, vote for, and use my best efforts towards the adoption of one. The public service corporations, it must be admitted have done much towards the great de- velopment of our conmonwealthaA As these corporations have received their right of existence from the people it is only fair and just that the peo- pie in turn should have some sort of control and supervision over them, so that in the words of the Republican party's platform these indispensable utilities shall be conducted alike for the benefit of the public and their shareholders-two parties whose inv terests under wise management are not antagonized.
 Yours very respectfully,
 GEO. A. HAMMOND.
