FORMER CONGRESSMAN MILDLY
DEPREcATEs HIS cANDl-
DAcY FOR SENATOR,
SEVERAL EXPLAIN VOTES
Carter, in Joint Ballot, Receives One
Less Than on Friday-Mr. Hartman
Wishes Il Understood That He Is
Not a Candidate, and Votes Cast for
Him Are Utterly Worthless.

Helena. Feb. 25.-tSpecial.) The
joint session, which met ut noon as
usual to vote for United States
senator. was enllvencd tiny bit by
the reading Of a letter from Charles
- Hartman, late candidate for con
Gress on the democratic ticket. to
Senator Mccarthy. The cpistle. which
explains Itself follows:
y observe from the public press
that q few members Of the joint as
sembly have done me the honor Of
voting for me for senator In congress
on three ballots.
while | fully appreciate the kind
motive which inspired their action,
yet justice 70 them, to Mr.. Walsh, to
MIR. Conrad and myself makes IL
proper for Inc to state briefly my po-
sition.
Exercising my right as n citizen
] have hoped and still hope to see the
election of Mr. Walsh. Both Mr.
Walsh and Mr.. Conrad were loyal sup
porters of mine In my race for con
grcss last fall, and were both avowcd
canu1uateS Tor senator.
For these reasons ! cannot honor
ably or In justice to them become d
candidate for senator 30 long as they
are In the race. While the achieve
ment Of the senatorshlp would be the
qualification Of the highest ambition
of my life, vet | unhesitatlnsly say
that even SO great an honor as this
ceases 10 be an honor II secured BY
unfair or dishonorable methods.
Firmly impressed with the justness
and fairness of these views, will say
that il I positively knew that by an
nouncing my candidacy now ! could
win the much coveted prize, | would
not announce ii.
please assure Mr.. Walsh, Mr.. Con-
rad and their supporters that | am
not now and will not become can
didate 50 long as they are in the race.
VIII you also do me the favor of ex-
tending my sincere thanks to the gem
tlemen who have honored me with
their votes? | cherish the hope held
in common by all democrats, that the
collective wisdom and patriotism of
the democratic majority will devise u
solution of the existing senatorial DIFF
flcnlties. and give to the people Il
senator whose official service will be
designed 10 produce the greatest good
to the greatest number This Is the
demand Of the people. The fulfill
ment Of this demand Is more import
ant than the qualification of any
mans ambition.
with this duty we'll performed, we
can In the next campaign proudly
and confidently appeal to our citl-
zens for their support-wlthout such
performance what can we say"
The reading of this letter did not
cause any applause. The assembly
seemed to take II as a matter of fuct.

Right to Fortify.

Mr.. Smith was generally rlg&nded
as representing the administration in
the fight for fortfcation. lie cited
the various treaties on the subject Of
a canal.
Il am here to insist that we have
the right to fortfy the canal" he
said, that 1t Is more than a right;
that. In fact, we have contracted to
preserve It's neutrality and to protect
It against blockade This makes 1t the
solemn duty Of this people to fortify
the entrance to the canal as securely
as any of the ports of the country"
When General Keifer had concluded
his speech against fortifeation he
made point Of order against the APP
propration for fortiflcation, declaring
1t was not justified by existing law
Representative Mann of Illinois was
I'm the chair and oyerruled the point.
Mr. Mann said that as far as treaty
obligations were concerned, the United
States clearly had the right to police
and protect the canal In any way 1t
saw fit.
Several democrats, who spoke and
voted against the fortification. said
they We're In favor Of fortifyng the
canal after 1t was completed, but they
did not think that the work had pro-
gresscd far enough to do so at this
time.

democrats and republicans are buekling
down to business now. The republic
an meeting last night was for the pur-
pose of lining up the men for Senator
Garter, a desperate effort Is being
made To drive the stragglcrs into camp.
II Is the desire and purpose Of the re-

The Conrad forces met last night and
gave thanks for tho votes already re-

or more Of the Conrad men had high
hopes today. For the first time since
the contest opened there Is a serious
belief here that Conrad may be chosen
to save the democratic party from the
wrath Of the people.

Rcpublicans Favor.

Mr.. Sherley. one of the democratic
leaders of the house. was accorded an
ovation by the republican members
When 1T came TO voting. the repub-
licans generally supported the fortifi-
cation of the canal and the democrats
opposed 1t.
The detection of about 20 republicans
from the general policy of fortifica-
tions was offset by similar detection
on the democratic side In favor of for
tifications. The fortiflcation of the
canal was provided for in the sundry
civil bill but was considered in the
house practically as separate meas
ure and after all OF the other features
Of the sundry civil bill had been dis
posed Of.
Representative Walter / Smith of
Iowa led off the debate In favor of
fortiflcation and was followed by Rep
resentatipe keifer. who led the forces
opposed to the provision. No less than
20 members spoke from five To twenty
minutes.

PORTS PRESIDENT TAFT.
VOTE IS OVERWHELMING
Three Million Dollars Appropriated to
Begin the Work, Which Will Require
Four Times That Much as a Total.
Senate Is Said to Be Two to One in
Favor of the Measure.

Washington, Feb. a5.-After nearly
1--WE hours of debate the house OF rep
resentatives shortly before 10 o'clock
tonight voted overwhelmingly In favor
OF fortifSlng the Panama canal and
appropriated s3,ooo.000 To begin the
work, the total cost of which is cstl-
mated at s12.00o.0o0. The action Of
the house practically settles the ques-
tion Of fortification, for the sentiment
IN the senate Is said to be more than
two To one In favor of protecting the
isthmian waterway.
The real test came on an amendment
proposed by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota, chairman Of the committee
on appropriations. The amendment
provided that no part of the money set
aside for fortifications should be used
until the president had attempted to
negotiate treaties with all Of the lead
Ing nations guaranteeing the neutrality
and international protection Of the
canal.
Representative Sherley Of Kentucky
attacked this amendment and warned
members that 1t had been introduced
for the sole purpose Of defeating the
appropriations.
Tho Tawney amendment thcn was
voted down by 100 10 81.
4 motion by Representative keifer
Of Ohio, 70 strike out MI provision for
Qualifications of the canal, was lost by
vote of l35 To III.
The real interest in the debate
seemed to center IN the Tawney
amendment and the speeches made for
and against III by Mr.. Tawney and Mr.
Sherley. Mr.. Tawney, stalwart re-
publican, looked 10 the democratic side
for sympathy and applause and re-
