and patriotic view and the refusal OF
other levcl-headed Democratic Senators
to be carried off their feet by the prop
uganda of ambitious Tagalog politl-
clans and their allies, the theoretical
anti-imperialists at home. give assur-
ance that the change Of administration
will not. at least for Il time. make any
change in the policy Of the United

said yesterday:
Free raw materials was the centre of
William l.. Wilson's programme. though
he came from "a great coal mining state.
In fact a remarkable feature Of his po-
litiCal career was his ability To retain
his seat In Congress in spite OF ms
avowed opposition 10 the duty on coal.
But Mr. Wilson did not retain his
seat in Congress after he had trans
lated his opposition To coal duties into
legislation in 1894. He was defeated
for re- election that year and was sub
seoucntly taken care Of by President
Cleveland through appointment To a
place in The Cabinet.
TO hear Washington sputter il might

bring them in contact with each 9TH
er, and that the more nearly perfect
in efficiency and sufficiency the util-
tiles serving the public are. the more
prosperity, comforts and conveniences
the public will enjoy.
We believe our story is an inter-
esting one, and we hope that everyone
will read It.
Note As an instance Of the kind
of startling news which newspapers
sometimes publish, we want to call
attention to recent articles in the
newspapers headed, United States
Government Calls Upon Two Girl
Stenographers to Tell Where They
Got Two Million Dollars to Form the
Corporation Securities and Invest
ment Company" Then the articles
went on to say that this Corporation
Securities and Investment Company
was a scheme of the Telephone Com
pany to further its purpose Of monop-
olizing telephone companies, etc.
The truth is that our company has
been met with strong feeling in
the State Of Montana-well nigh uni
versal-that something should be done
to relieve the citizens Of that state,
Of two telephone systems. Public
hcvvc hoan halI and vntoo
taken, that the telephones of one or
the other Of the systems should be
thrown out. Resolutions and letters.
have been submitted to us, and we
have started out to see what we
could do to relieve the citizens Of
that state Of this burden.
We found that the Independent in
terests operating there also operated
in Spokane, in the State of Washing
ton. and in northern Idaho, and that
the Independent interests doing bust
ness in Montana could not be bought,
o. sold, so as to alone cover the prop
erty in Montana, but that the pur-
chase must include their property In
the states Of Idaho and Washington.
The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company does not operate
in either of these sections and there
fore, is not responsible for telephone
conditions there, nor does 1t wish to
operate there, but we felt we must
meet the situation in Montana, and
so, in order to be in position to
either buy or sell. from or to. the
Independent interests in Montana.
there was formed this Corporation Sc
curities and Investment Company, as
a corporate company, to enter into ne
gotiations with the Independent in
terests in Montana, which negotia-
tons are now in progress, and. II
possible. to buy these Independent in
terests in Montana. northern Idaho
and Washington, and then in the end.
II that purpose was accomplished the
Corporation Securities and Invest
ment Company should sell to The
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company the portion Of the
Independent plants located in Mon
tana, and sell to others the portion Of
these Independent plants existing In
northern Idaho and Washington.
We explain this so the public may
know that in the above Foreword.
where we say there is no company
within a company. or wheels within
wheels" we are speaking absolutely
truly. and also that this Corporation
Securities and Investment Company.
which was so freely advertised by the
articles in the newspaper referred to.
is absolutely legitimate and proper
company and organized for the speci-
fc purposes stated.
