IN TWO CITIES
The Montana Record of Helena echoes the query raised
by the Great Falls Tribune and wants to know If Bruce
kremer democratic national committeeman for Montana
will resign Kremer elected to the national commit
tee after he had called upon God to witness his declaration
Of loyalty to Bryan and progessvcsm; then he went to
Baltimore and voted against Bryan and for Parker.
! But Kremer will not resign Why should he? He was
elected by the Amagamated Copper company and he is
representing that He not chosen to repre-
sent the democrats of Montana # they had wanted a
representative they would have selected Tom Stout they
could have depended upon him. Kremer went as the
Amagamaed representative the committee; he per-
formed the mission for which he sent to Baltimore
The criticism Of Kemer silly; he is not supposed to be-
representing the democrats OF Montana
kremer will not resign any more than Tom NARROW will
resign from the republican national committee Each
represents the Amalgamated Copper company. Each has
done the work he sent east to dothe in Baltimore
and the other in Chicagoand each has done that work
cording to instructions.
The people Of Montana will be misrepresented long
they let the Amalgamated company name their committee
men their delegates and their officers The great corpor-
alton selected the republican and the democratic commit
teemen this year How it did this is matter of local his
tory which familiar NARROW carries in his pocket the
credentials of the Amagamated and Kremer holds his place
by reason Of passport which is identical
Kremers position more anomalous than is that Of
I'D Donlan in Missoua county. kremer told the demo-
Gratis that he loyal to Bryan and they believed him.
Donan told the republicans Of his home county that he was
east and each proceeded to demonstrate himself liar
The Montana democrats more fortunate than the Mon
tana republicans in that they appear have at least part
of their convention deegation there Of the Mon
tana men in Baltimore who are expressing the will of their
folks at home In the Chicago convention, the Montana
men were unit OF Misrepresentation Every vote which
they cast was against the people.
The Montana delegation at Chicago went on record as
opposed to the primary opposed popular government
opposed to the peoples right to select their repre-
senatves The Montana delegation voted to unseat dele
gates who had been chosen by great popular majority
their home states. t5l
The Montana delegates to Chicago were chosen by fraud
and bribery at home the state convention which elected
them was not fair convention When they got to Chi
cago they licked the hand of their corporation masters and
fell into line with the policy of injustice and theft which
disregarded the opinion of the republican voters of tho
country expressed in honest primary elections; they cast
their votes always for the interests.
The Montana democrats have their settle with
Bruce kremer and with Jimmie Johnson The Montana
republicans have their settle with eight who
from first to last voted against popular government and
support of corporation control of politics, and they have
score to settle with the committeeman who msepresened
them. These men should be remembered always; they
should receive the penalty which goes to traitors.
The Montana Record of Helena calls upon the people of
Montana to rally to the support of candidates selected by
robbery and fraud unprecedented in the history of Amer
poitics To the majority Of the republican Of
the country the Record and its people say I'VE have
robbed you defrauded you, deceived you Now line up
and help us perpetuate this system of fraud
