story is nonsense. I will say for the
Anti-Saloon League that it is clever in
its propaganda work"
little later, in discussing prohibi-
ton, Governor Edwards said in sub
stance:
81 don't believe in the ordinary
saloon. believe that it is gone for
ever. | wouldn't vote to bring it back
But as for prohibition, think it is
wrong, and that it is causing lot Of
alscontent all over the country. | be-
lleve that alcoholic beverages should
be purchasablc the same as any other
commodity"
The Governor said he had not taken
a drink in thirty years.
governor Edwards is in favor of the
indirect system of taxation as main
tanned in New Jersey, which has no
bonded debt, and has we'll tested
laws that give to the state an adr-
quate revenue without resort to state
income tax. He said that fundamen-
tally he believed in league of nations
that would nike war impossible, but
it should have proper safeguards.
The Governor said he had favored
woman suffrage ever since the women
rendered such whole-hearted and eff
fective service during the war. AS for
Bolshevism, he declared he thought
little of it, and that the American peo-
pie can keep it under control without
difficulty. He said that although he
had signed the soldiers bonus bill, the
measure carried a referendum clause,
and he was inclined to believe that the
majority of the soldiers favored relief
for the wounded and disabled rather
than bonus. He said his own son,
who was in the service, was against the
bonus.
The Edwards headquarters at the
Manhattan are in charge Of Walter W.
Wick. Present yesterday at the opening
were Judge j. w. R. Beeson, of Hudson
County, and Frank Morgan.

Walsh Repeats Story That

for Republicans; Demo-
Gratis Also Are Accused
Tale Ridiculed by Smoot
Borah Resolution for Inves-
tigation Is Transferred
to Another Committee

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 1o.-Charges
that both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are raising enormous
funds to use in the coming Presidential
cempaign were made in the Senate to-
day. Senator Borah secured the trans
fer of his resolution authorizing a
Senatorial investigation of the use Of
money in the prc-convention campaign
from the Privileges and Elections Com
mittee to the Contingent Expenses
Committee.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon
tana, called attention to reports that
/. Coleman du Pont was chairman of a
finance committee which "it is expect
ed will raise a fund of $1O,OOO,00O to
elect Republican President" Senator
Ihomas, Democrat, Of Colorado, reply
ing, said he hoped Senator Walsh would
call this remarkable piece of news to
the attention of Senator Borah.
III may say that this is situation
which l anticipated when l prepared
and introduced pending amendment
to the antidumping bill, intending to
impose an income tax of so per cent on
contributions over s1,000," said Senator
Thomas. "If the Senate will enact that
provision we may be able to get re-
spectacle revenue through it,"
Uncomfortable" Says. Smoot
Senator Smoot. Republican, of Utah,
defended the Republican party.
=, ut is ilnTconceivable," he said, "that
Senator Walsh or any other Senator
should think there is truth in such
newspaper reports as that read. l do
party can collect that amount for the
coming campaign, with all their power
to enforce contributions, which no
doubt they will exercise"
Senator Thomas said he would be
surprised if the Democrats were able
to raise 100000. Referring again to
the report of $10,00o,ooo to be raised,
ho added
81 hope this is not true. That sum
in these days does not appeal to Sena-
tors of the experience of Senator
merely chicken feed, and compared to
the extravaganza of the country it is
not surprising. may be overcredu-
lous, but think there is something be-
hind it. hope Senator Borah will
direct his investigation toward it,"
Senator. Smoot suggested that Sen
ator Borah also take cognizance of the
fact that several millionaires "are
active now directing the campaign of
Democratic aspirants for the Presi-
dency."
Thomas Favors Income Tax
Senator Thomas sad he did not care
whether the enormous amount were
raised for Democratic or for Republican
candidates. 1t is wrong" he said, "and
we should impose an income tax on the
men who spend these prodigal sums to
corrupt the nation"
81 think it perfectly apparent that
there is a powerful organization in
both parties that has concluded that
the dominating and controlling prin-
ciple in American politics is money"
sald Senator Borah. "The masses os
the American people are as much op-
posed to that sort of practice as they
ever were: All we can do is to expose
the practices. The people will take
care of the situation when they get to
the polls"

s.,u New York will be for General
Wood on the first ballot-but only six.
!. is understood that Mr. Barnes is

Ssls Senator Warren G. Harding, of
nh;o the nominee 81 Chicago. On two
.orsnt visits Harry NJ. Daughcrty, of
Coumbus, Senator Harding's campaign
rsnacer. said that he had conferred
with Mr. Barnes.
Mr.. Daugherty was candidate for
,slsgate at large in his home state,
bnt was defeated by William II. Boyd,
.he Wood candidate. His defeat was
.sused. it it is said in Ohio. by state
vent made at the Waldorf-Astoria sew
era! weeks ago.
II do not expect to see Senator
Harding nominated on the first. the
second. the third or the fourth ballots"
Mr. Daugherty said. "but at / minutes
mast . O'clock in the morning on the
fourth day of the convention fifteen
men will get around a big table and,
sfter looking at each other, one of them
will say: We'll, whom shall we nomi-
nateT At that time Ohio will present
her favorite son, and if no one else is
there to do it shall be there to pre-
sent him. There is no doubt in my
mind that Senator Harding at that time
will be agreed upon"
Harding Predicted Support
Senator Harding. little earlier, said
that he would have the support Of $50
delegates or the first ballot. but he did
not say where they were to come from.
From the information drifting to the
Wood managers it is clear that the
friends of Senator Harding are count
ing on eighty of the eighty-eight dele
gates from the Empire State to bring
about his nomination. Senator Harding
at present has thirty-nine delegates
from his own state, but none from any
other state.

he believed in direct action. He
said that the strike did not have for
it's object higher wages or shorter
hours, but taking over of the mines
by the workers. He said the strike
was but an incident to this plan and
if the men were given $40, or even
SIS a day, the I. W. W., in further
ance of its general policy, would
soon begin agitating for more. Sell
lers said his organization urged the
miners to do just as little work as
was possible, land still get by" as
this would tend to retard production
until it would be impossible to work
the mines at a profit.

There were perhaps 1000 men en-

Automobiles on easy payments is
the aim of the Montana Auto Finance
Corporation of Great Falls.
The company, which is capitalized
for 100000, will handle automobile
paper, whenever purchaser has one
third of the cost of the automobile
to pay down, it will permit him to
make the balance of his payments in
monthly installments, charging a net
premium to take care of interest and
insurance against theft, fire and
collisions.
While the corporation was only or
ganized April 13 it is already doing
business and is placing its capital in
to automobile loans. 1t is not a
stock proposition, being a closed cor
poration, to become interested in
which can be done only by invitation.
Outside of a small amount of stock
apportioned to banks and auto deal
ers the company is owned by the in
corporators.

the Cascade bank of Great Falls and

company of Montana, is the vice pre-
sident. Samuel M. Weekes is secre-
tary and I. o. Blake treasurer.
The company expects to have rep
resentatives in all of the principal
towns of the state. When a prospec-
tive buyer wants to secure an auto
mobile on payments, he will purchase

who will take notes in settlement for

The United States is a poor
crumbling thing, helpless affair,
which should be permitted to
struggle along as best it can,. but
as it stands today, it is bound to
crumbIe.
That is the opinion of A. S. EN-
bree, leader of the Butte /. w. w
strike, of the government of the
United States, as expressed on the
witness stand when he was testifyins
at the coroner's inquiry into the
death of Thomas Manning.
Embree believes that the revolu-
tionary volcano is about to burst
forth and overwhelm society as il
now exists, and that Butte is sitting
on the red rim of it. AS far as
Butte is concerned he is right, be-
cause chaos reigns there; miners
not affiliated with the 1. w. W.,
thinking to get away from trouble,
are leaving the town for more peace
full districts by the hundreds, and
business is paralyzed. The glory of
Butte, once Montana's industrial
pride, has departed for the time be-
ing.
Embree the Real Leader.
Embree, who is not a full citizen,
and who is under bonds for deporta-
tion on charges preferred by the
secretary of labor, is the real leader
of Butte's labor unrest. On the
stand he told of the purpose of his
organization; how its policy was to
retard production until the en-
ployer would find his undertakings
Improbable, and ultimately, when
the great industrial revolution came,
the workers would take over all in
dustries and operate them demo-
cratically for the benefit of the toll
ers. The wage system. was to be
abolished. He felt towards the
United States government, as Frank
lin and Paine did towards Great |
Britain in the colonial days.
With regard to what would hap
pen on the farms when this in
dustriaI revolution came he was
not clear. He said it was diff
ficult problem, and had not yet
been worked out. He was of the
opinion, however, that the farm
workers would take over all
government land and farm it in
tensively. The larger farms might
be worked comparatively. The
SOlutlOH WOuiu COluc dltCG tllC tOl-
lapse of capitalism and the work.
ers had taken over all industries.
Owing to the unexpectedly rapid
collapse of capitalism, due indirectly
% the world war, there probably will
,nsue period of chaos in the United
States, because the 1. w. w. have ]
,een unable to educate the workers :
,r train them to the point where '
hey are competent to step in and
institute the proposed new form of {
government. Embree testified S
sit is unfortunate" said the wit /
ess, "but capitalism is crumbling so
apidly, indirectly because of the re- e
ent war, that our educational work
as been unable to keep pace and
onsequently the workers are not suf- n
lciently educated or trained to the d
oint where they are ready to take r
barge under the new government, E
} fear there will be a. short period p
chaos in this country"
G. w. Sellers, another strike lead o
was almost as frank as Embree, n
his testimony. Although he had n
ever worked in a mine, he is a a
ember of the committee handling n
lie Butte strike. He testified that &C

The strike called by the Butte
Metal Mine Workers Union 1. w.
W., is at an end. The union has
voted to return to work, but has
committed itself by resolution to
retard production as much as is
possible, in keeping with the
principles of the organization.
Butte mining operators have
decided that they will close the
mines permanently, rather than
give employment to members of
the I. w. w. Notices posted at
the various properties read: "No
member of the /. w. w. will be

that the strike was an initial effort
of the I. w. w. to take control OF
the mines, following the program
outlined by their leaders upon the
stand,
The verdict of the jury follows:
