are supposed to be representing
some of the best citizens of thei1
communities and not the dregs
of society.
| Senator Abbott endeavored to
excuse his vote on the ground
that Of 40 persons appearing be-
fore the committee at the hearing
upon the bill, the majority ap.
peared to favor race track gam
bling.
That is true as gospel, but the
gentleman should have added
that the only persons in Montana
who were given advance notice
that there was to be a hearing
were the race track and gambling
promoters, who commenced to
arrive in Helena Tuesday night
and on the first train Wednes-
day morning.
It was not until after their
forces were gathered in the cap
ital city that notice was given to
the public that a hearing was to
be held that day.
Of course those opposed to
evil were in a minority; how
could they help being when they
had no knowledge that a hear
ing was to be held until within
two hours of the converting of
the meeting?
The race track people were
evidently advised of what had
been arranged for their benefit,
or they would not have COM
menced arriving in force nearly
"a hours before the meeting was
publicly announced.
AS a matter of fact, the truth
is that those opposed to race
track gambling were not expect
cd or wanted by the committee
to appear before it.
There is no reason for the de-
cent people throughout the
length and breadth of Montana
feeling discouraged on account
of the action of the republican
state senate, surprised as they
may be to find that that political
organization has entered into an
alliance with the race track gam
blers of Montana.
There can be no question that
a cry of indignation and protest
will now go up from Wibaux to
Plains that even an arrogant re-
publican state senate will have
to heed.
No, the fight is not lost, it has
only just begun. Butte Miner.

ALLIANCE is PROVED

Will GuCI0llCllcu VIC, III Cl1C lO1 al
of racetrack gambling, was made
manifest when every republican
in the senate, except one, voted
to kill the measure introduced by
the senator from Flathead coun-
ty, limiting the evil to six days
in any one county in the state.
All honor to the republican ex-
ception, who refused to be driven
by the party lash into support
ing the gambling fraternity of
Montana. His name is Senator
A. J. Brewer of Mlssoula county,
and he is entitled to have his
name inscribed high upon the
scroll of fame.
The recorded vote upon this
measure, which presents the
greatest moral issue before the
legislature, should be cut out and
pasted in the political scrap book
of every voter Of the common
wealth for future reference.
The following democrats stood
up manfully for decency and
voted against the motion to kill
the measure: Senators Ash
bridge of Musselshell, Byrnes,
Lewis and Clark; Cato, Custer;
Clark, Toole; Gallwey, Silver
Bow; Hogan, Yellowstone; o.
Shea, Carbon; Parker, Jefferson;
Whiteside, Flathead.
With the foregoing democrats
voted three progressives, who
were: Senators Amin, Still
water; Kane, Ravalli, and Taylor
of Blaine.
The democrats who joined
hands with the republicans in an
effort to force race track gam
bling on the people of this COM
monwealth were: Senators Alb
bolt of Gallatin, Burla, Big Horn;
Darroch, Park; Lane, Fergus;
Minor, Deer Lodge; Muf1y,
Broadwater.
Eighteen republicans voted in
the interests of the gamblers, as
follows: Senators Brownlee of
Sweetgrass, Burlingame, Cas-
cade; Clay, Valley; Dwight, San
ders; Edwards, Rosebud; Fish
beck, Sheridan; Grande, Meag-
her; Junod, Madison; Kinney,
Wibaux; Larson Teton; MacKen-
zie, Hill; McCone, Dawson;
Meadors, Richland; Roberts, Lin
coin; Selway, Beaverhead; Stev-
ems, Chouteau; Willett, Mineral;
WllllalIlS, TOWell.
The one progressive voting in
favor OF race track gambling was
Senator Oliver of Fallon, said to
have been formerly a preacher,
but who evidently has wonder
fully reformed.
That the alliance between en-
trenched race track gamblers and
the republican party is an official
one is vouched for by the fact
that Senator Selway, present
chairman of the republican state
committee, and Senator Ed
wards, who preceded the gentle
man from Beaverhead in that
Office as party manager, voted
for them. m.
Under what pretext or excuse
can these republicans justify
their action in insisting that
Butte must have what virtually
amounts to 60 days. racing every
year?
Are their constituents made up
of gamblers and touts, who are
demanding that they support the
same element in Silver Bow
county and force the decent over
whelming majority of the popu-
lation to struggle with this de-
moralizing evil, as it has been
designated by the governor of
this state?

State Senator Ogden =. Mills defended
the record Of the last Legislature In a
