COWARDS AND LIARS

COWARDS AND LIARS
Monday morning The Missouan exposed the latest
|ator Dixon The infamous anonymous poster which is the
most recent evidence of corporation hatred for Montana
senior senator constitutes the eeventh-hour ammunition
lot the Amalgamated forces Its exposure followed
Monday night BY maudlin TRADE OF vituperation from the
Hessans hired of the Amagamated This TRADE
was in line with the cowardy tactics which revealed
by the publication OF the poster.
WHO'S paying for the printing Of this poster?l 1t is a
expensive job and ten thousand of these handsomely
cued sheets run into money pretty fast The very fact
cowards it shows too that they realize how despicabe
the man in the eyes Of the public who gets such sheet
It right in line with the poison which the Hessans have
pedded in Mssoula and the general opinion will be that
the same purse pays for the two despcable pieces of work
Ever since the Hessan have been operating in Missoua
they have sought to malign Senator Dixon in every way
possible They have assaed his private character they
have lied about his public record They have stopped at
nothing Failing in their endeavor to prejudice the people
Of this community against Senator Dixon, the Hessians
way possible to dscredt this newspaper Their
in this direction evidenced by the of their attack
upon the interview with General Wood which The Mssou
ian published.
This interview highly commendatory Of Fort Mis-
soula was cordially in Endorsement Of the efforts which
post Fort Mssoula The Hessians didn't care anything
about the great benefit which the enlarged post would be
tor Missoua they just thought they saw chance to dis
the false irresponsible foes to Mssoula that they are
The Hessians have been making threats about what they
made threats that they will expose Senator Dixon more
thoroughly than they have before They have in fact
specified that they will print certain check which will
show that Senator Dixon received money from somebody
or other Probably the Hessians will do this forgery
would be right in line with the anonymous poster which was
sent out from Helena Sunday night
CoWardy and false has been this whole attack against
Senator Dixon has been conceived in the intense hatred
which the corporations hold toward Mr. Dixon because he
will not 90 their bidding against the interests Of the people
In his advocacy Of the of Theodore Roosevelt Mr.
Dixon has done more good for the people Of this than
he could have done in any other way When the Hessans
and their corporation bosses tell you that Mr. Dixon was
absent from this rolca that rollca in the senate
member that he there when the taken to expel
Lorimer and that he with the anti -Lormer crowd
Remember too that he there when the vote taken
on the longandshorthaul BILL which he had introduced
and that the passage OF that bill saved the people of Mon
tana more than three million dollars year in freight And
remember that it was Senator Dixons advocacy of this
measure which for him the hatred Of the Corporations
When the rate bill became law the corporations declared
that they would get Dixon The presence of the Hes
slams in Missoua is part Of the plan to get Dixon These
non-resdents who assa the character Of man
who has done much for Msoula has Senator Dixon
care not whit for the welfare of the city, nothing to
Them they here to their wage from the Amaga
mated to do this they must attack Dixon matter how
And along the line OF this attack is the anonymous pos
ter The statements upon this poster false and the
ductons are wrong The nsnuations vile and could
come from only such the which originates
this opposition to Dixon The facts in relation to Mr.
Dxons property holdings simply told and they are very
different from what the anonymous poster says:
His Washington residence OOO there is mort
gage upon it now for $4,000 His interest in the Montana
block in Missoua was bought with the proceeds of the sale
eaestate holdings which he had owned for many years.
there is mortgage OF $4,000 upon this building That is
the TRUTH The anonymous poster is lie.
Knowing the lack of responsibility the utter lack Of de-
cency and the eness OF the purpose Of the Hessans and
their associates will the public pay any attention any
statement they may make?<,
