hold that you are not friendly to Miss

a query from Macdonald as to the

Thomas B. King and Miss Minnie J.
Nelson. The states spperintendent's
letter would indicate that so long ago
as 1914 Neil Macdonald was doing
all that he could to injure, and dis
credit Miss Nelson. Macdonald's
counsel objected to the introduction
of Taylor's letter as an, exhibit for
the state, but the court withheld its
ruling, and the exhibit went in.
Macdonald could not recall having
written the letter in regard to Mr.
King, and, Miss Nelson until he was

?SoME FAIR QUESTIONS, Mr.. CUMMINGS?

Tho democratic party was
founded to support and sustain
liberty. Has it abandoned that,
the noblest OF all human pur-
poses:
MIR. Cummings, chairman of the
democratic party, are You in fa-
vor of the Republic of Ireland?
Referring again to our consti-
tuition which grants us the right
Of free speech and liberty, do You
countenance, or does your party
cnlntenance the arrests and con-
tinued Imprisonment of freedOm-
loving men and women in our
state and federal jails simply be-
cause they dared to use the rights
given them under the constitution
to raise their voices in criticism
of their industrial masters?
DO YOU maintain that the
tenets of our constitution are be-
ing observed by our officials when
they arrest and Jail and even de-
port men and women who are
fighting to improve the conditions
of themselves and their fellow
workers?
Mr.. Cummings. do you advocate
the continued imprisonment of
class war prisoners?
Finally. Mr.. Cummings, do you
know that the men who are en-
tcrtaining You today, both in
Butte and Helena, are not the
representatives of the rank and
file of your party in the state Of
Montana, but are the representa-.
tives of the corporate and corrupt
intereses of the state?
DO YOU know, or do you care,
that such men as Governor
Stewart, j. Bruce Kremer, Charles
II. Treacy, Con r. Kelly, Will A.
Campbell and others on the list
of your entertainers and advisers,
are discreditett with the people OF
MOntana--the yoters-and that
every indication points that the
next election will witness the over
throw Of the oligarchy of corrup-
ton, ballot stealing and even
worse, which these men support?
