Billings. Sept. o5.-Before an audi
ence which filled Babcoek theatre.
Senator w. b. George in two hours
talk last night told why he had do
termined not to vote fer Sam v.
Stewart end w. w Mcdowell, Demo-
cratic nominees Tor governor and lieu
tenant governor. The reason he gave
was that "the Democratic nominees
are both tools Of the Alnalgamated
Copper company" He said that while
many persons claimed he was prompt.
ed by personal reasons, that he was
sore because he was not nominated at
the Great Falls convention. this is not
true: that he had no acrmony in his
heart because of his defeat. but that
it was only because the men who
We're named. if elected. will not rep.
resent the people,"
Snubbed In Helena.
BY way Of introduction Senator
George told of his coming to Montana
as boy and being snubbed in Helena
because he did not wear dress suit
to some function. That he went to
Anaconda. became acquainted with
tarcus Daily and formed great friend
ship for him. In after years this little
incident in Helena caused him to line
up with DAILY in the struggle against
Clark
Later he acted with Heinze, who. he
believed was fighting for the people,
and as consequence he was driven
from the Democratic party and stig-
matized as traitor" He said he had
always been fighting for the people
and against Amalgamated control. He
had no objection to the Amalgamated
mining all the ore it wanted to, but
opposed its controlling affairs of citi.
zens and for this cause "he would op.
pose men who represent this great
corporation
Both Corporation Men.
Speaking OF Stewart, Senator George
said:
Il could not vote for him nor sup
port him when believed that the peO-
pie of those counties were Amalga-
mated has Influence were for me had
they had a chance to express their
choice. But my opposition to Stewart
and Mcdowell, Is not personal, for
like both of them; they are fine men
from social standpoint"
| He declared that Stewart has long
been an Amalgamated man and that
he was its candidate for attorney gen
eral. also that two years ago he came
forward as its candidate and endeavor-
ed to defeat Charles Hartman for the
nomination for congress.
As TO Mcdowell, he said, he had
shown in the last session of the legis-
lature, by appointment OF his commit
tees. that he was working for the in
terests of this corporation.

played by the audience, his address
seemed to be well taken. He took
special pains in handing it TO the Pro-

them, and said that whenever he saw
one of them wearing the bull moose
button. he could not help but call
them the "horny headed sons OF
