DIRECT ELECTION Of
SENATORS NOW ASSURED
LOWER BRANCH OF CONGRESS
PASSES RESOLUTION-NOW
UP TO STATES.

Washington, May 1S.-When the
house today, by vote of 237 to 80,
passed the resolution providing for
the direct election OF United States
senator's, it took the most important
step in the direction of popular gov
ernment that has been taken since
special privilege began to assume con-
troll OF the government. 1t was prob
ably the most important victory which
has been won for the people them
selves in congress since the civil war.
In the vote today nearly all demo-
Gratis and all republicans placed
themselves upon record as favoring
the great reform which has been start
ed.
Today's vote was preceded by
bitter argument, in which the south
ern members fought the resolution.
Led by Representative Bartlett, of
Georgia, the Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana delegations fought to pre-
vent it's passage because of the senate
amendment which continued in the
federal government supervision of the
elections. They based their opposi-
tion almost entirely on their allega-
tion of negro domination.
The first vote taken was on an
amendment by Representative Bart
lett, which took from the federal gov
ernment all supervisory powers. It
was defeated, 189 to 80. On the vote
for the adoption of the resolution,
two-thirds of the house being neces-
sary, fifty democrats deserted.
The measure that passed today was
known as the Bristow resolution. As
such it first passed the senate, and,
having been once rejected by the
house, was today accepted by the tre-
mendous majority shown in the fig.
ures of the vote.
The resolution provides for an

RUSH FOR HOMESTEADS
AT j. S. LAND OFFICE
OPENING OF THREE TOWNSHIPS
IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF
COUNTY THE REASON,

The throwing open of three town
ships in this county for entry under
the government land laws caused a
big rush of applicants to the local
United States land office last week
One OF the townships is located on
Arrow creek, north of Stanford, an.
other near Grass Range, and the third
near the Snowy mountains. These
townships comprise thousands OF
acres of fine agricultural land and
many claims in each of them have
been held down by squatters for sew
eral years.
One hundred filings were made last
Tuesday and more than that number
since. Most of the entries are by peo-
pie who have had their eyes on
claims in the townships just opened
for location. There has also been
quite an influx of new people from
other sections of the country and the
greater number of these are also seek
ing 'homesteads.

TO HOLD
PRIMARIES SATURDAY
LACK OF ANY CONTESTS INDI.
CATE THAT EVERYTHING WILL
BE HARMONIOUS.

According to the call of the central
committee, primaries for the selection
of delegates to the democratic county
convention will be held next Saturday
afternoon between the hours of 2 and
8 o'clock p. m. The lack of any such
rivalries as characterize the republi-
can situation in the county is respon-
sible for the benef that everything
will be entirely harmonious, both at
the primaries and at the convention,
which will be held at the court house
next Monday.
Caucuses will be held in the three
Lewistown precincts Friday night, at
which time the names of delegates
will probably be suggested. In the
First ward, the caucus will be held in
the Farmers institute room; in the
Second at JacksOn's hall, and in the
Third at the fire station. All demo-
Gratis in the city are urged to attend
these ward caucuses as we'll as the
primaries the next day.

COMMITTEE
HOME FROM ST. PAUL
HAVE CONFERENCE WITH GREAT
NORTHERN OFFICIALS ON
SHOP QUESTION.

j. ID. Waite, w. J. Johnson and O.
w. Belden returned home last week
from their trip to st. Paul, taken for
the purpose of comforting with the
head officials of the Great Northern
relative to the location of divisional
point with the attendant shops and
yards in this city. They announced
to the railway men that the people OF
LeWistoWn have contributed the sum
OF fifteen thousand dollars toward
paying for the ground desired for shop
purposes and stated that this money
is given freely simply as an indication
OF the friendly spirit of the people
here toward the railroad company.
Vice-President Gilman and Tax
Commissioner Mari received the visi-
tors from Lewistown most cordially
and stated that a formal letter will
be written soon in which will be out
lined the exact plans of the company
so far as the Lewistown divisional
point is concerned. They were unable
to give any specific assurances at that
time owing to the fact that President
Louis Hill has resigned and his place
taken by Carl Gray, of the Pacific
coast. 1t is desired that the new presi-
dent be made acquainted with the sit
uation before any definite announce
ments are made or action taken.
From the general tenor of the re-
marks of the railroad men, the dele
cation from Lewistown infer that the
Great Northern will lose no time in
getting busy on the line east from
Lewistown. In fact, this is as good
as settled right now, and before fall
there will be big crew of contractors
working between here and the Mus.
selshell.

TAKE VERY RICH ORE
FROM THE MAG|NN|S
POCKET OF THIRTY-FIVE TONS
YIELDED OVER SEVENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS,

The news has just reached the Dem
ocrat of a discovery during the past
month of pocket Of about the richest
ore ever taken out of a mine in the
Judith mountains. The ore was found
in the old Maginnis mine near Maiden
and contained 35 tons, which average
better than $4,000 per ton. The men
who have the Maginnis leased, Wood
son Badger, Bob Turnbull, T. O. Cald-
we'll and ]. H. Mccormick, cleaned up
substantial fortune out of this one
little ore body, and since four more
popular men never operated in the
Judith mountains, their friends will
not begrudge the boys their good luck.
AS stated in the last issue of the
Democrat, the Maginnis is now pro-
ducing more gold bullion than any
other mine in Montana. In addition
to the rich ore body mentioned above,
the men in charge have taken out a
large amount of other high-grade ore
and have lot more in sight.
In the old days, when Maiden was
one of the liveliest camps in the en-
tire west, the Maginnis Wed with the
Spotted Horse in the production of
fabulously rich ore. The latest strike
indicates that the old mine is far from
being worked out and that it's recesses
probably hold substantial fortunes for
the men who are now working the
property, as well as for the owners.

INTERESTING LECTURE
. ON THE PANAMA CANAL
HON. DAVID HILGER DELIVERS
FINE ADDRESS AT cULvER's
OPERA HOUSE.

Despite the inclement weather
which doubtless kept large numbers
away, an audience OF more than one
hundred people assembled at Culver's
opera house last evening to hear
an illustrated lecture by Hon. David
Hilger on the Panama Canal. The
material for the talk was gathered by
Mr.. Hilger on a visit to the canal last
winter in company with large mum
ber OF the members of the American
Society of Engineers. ID. J. Burke
the contractor, accompanied Mr.. Hill
ger on the long trip and two other
LeWistoWn residents, Doctor and Mrs
w. A. Long, were there at the time.
Mr.. Hilger gave brief account OF
his long trip over land and sea to
Colon, the Atlantic coast port OF entry
to the canal zone, and then proceeded
to tell in graphic and an Illuminating
manner of the canal itself, the great
magnitude of the work, the cost, meth
DDS OF operation, etc. Much of the
facts so presented were contained in
the letters sent to the Democrat by
Mr.. Hilger while he was on the trip.
After giving all of the important de-
tails, the speaker exhibited some
seventy-five lantern slides, made from
the week he spent on the canal zone.
1t was all highly interesting and in
structive, and as lecturer, "Uncle
Dave" made distinct hit with all
present.

will give every state the right to
eject Its senators by direct vote. What
mas Deen done in congress is only the
hrst step. The second step must be
taken by the states themselves, in
ratlfying the proposition, before the
amendment becomes effective.
There is, however, no doubt that the
states will do their part. The people
have that in their own hands, and
there would be little basis for faith in
the American people If it were not
1elt that they can be relied upon to
vote for the constitutional amend
ment, which has now been approved
by tWo-thirds of both houses of con.
gress.
This fight, which ended in congress
today with victory for the public,
has been in progress ever since 1926.
Time and time again the house passed
resolution proposing the necessary
change in the constitution, and each
time 1t was defeated in the senate.
For many years it was regarded as a
perfectly harmless and meaningless
thing for the house to pass such a
resolution, so certain was it that It
would be slaughtered in the senate.
The victory, however, might not
have been possible but for the aroused
public sentiment. This compelled
even men like Cannon, of Illinois, and
Mann and all the other reactionaries
to vote for the resolution today, be-
cause they realized they would only
hurt themselves if they voted against
it.
The effect of the change in the con-
stitution is certain to be tremendous.
No longer can a small coterie of politl-
cal bosses, acting with or under in
structlons from great specialprivilege
combinations, determine who the SEN
ators from state shall be. There
will be no more senators selected in
Broad Street Station or in secret
caucus, when direct elections be-
come effective. They will be elected
in the open, and they will be chosen
by the voters.
Certainly no action the congress
has taken in recent years compares
in Importance to this. 1t is doubtful
under present conditions If any other
single piece Of legislation since the
fight against special privilege began
compares with it. 1t is certain to be
of more far-reaching benefit than the
railroad regulation law or any other
statute that can be cited, because it
affects the principle and practice OF
real popular government.
