are in sympathy with the same to
withdraw from previous party affilia-
tions and unite with us In the re-
demption of Montana from heretofore
existing lntolerable political condi-
-tions.
The constant effort OF crooked busi-
ness In unholy alliance with crooked
bosses 10 usurp the powers Of govern
ment, through control of party ma
chinery. constitutes the greatest men
ace to real popular rule.
