the mines to escape with only a pay
ment to the state of a tax on net
proceeds that he drew from his pocket
that dollar check the state had receiv-
ed earlier in the year from the Clark
interests as the net proceeds tax
payments on the Elm Orlu mine in
Butte.
The governor told Of the Elm Orlu
mine producing S3,5OO,OOO in wealth
last year, and of it's management re-
porting to the state as having expend-
ed $3,880,000 of which Is per cent had
been represented as royalties to them
selves. Another expense item, the gov
ernor said, was one Of S526,000, funds
represented to have been used for
exploration purposes" Consequently,
he continued, the report from the Elm
Orlu mine showed no net proceeds. A
loss was shown by the statement filed.
AS a result only one dollar, the mine
license tax, was all that the Clark
interests paid for net proceeds for the
Elm Orlu.
To prove that assertion the govern
or exhibited the check, and a stage
hand turned on a spotlight that the big
audience could have a clearer vision.
The governor said he deposited dol
tar with the state treasurer, obtained
possession of the check, and in reality
had, himself, paid the Clark tax on
the Elm 0rlu mine.
Forced to resume his seat by the
crowd without having been given an
opportunity to be heard, although he
vainly attempted to do so, repeatedly,
Furman remained silent. With a
broad smile radiating from his coun-
tenance, Governor Dixon finally halt
ed his address and gave Furman an
opportunity to be heard.

REPUBLICANS ARE
SURE OF VICTORY
Reports From State and County In
dicate Substantial Republic
an MajOrities.

With practically all of the candi-
dates, both state and county, through
with their campaigns, with but little
else to do save mark and count the
ballots on Tuesday, there is a dis
tinct feeling Of confidence and secur-
ity in the ranks of the republican
party. A republican victory is GER
tain. No republican expects to roll
up the majorities that were given to
the party two years ago. Such ma
jorities never happen twice in sue
cession, for there are too many who
always vote against the party in
power to permit that. Likewise there
are those whose memories of past de-
mocratic extravagances and malad-
ministration are short. But in the
main the voters of this state have not
forgotten the eight years of demo-
cratic domination and by that same
token they have no taste for more
of it.
With the inconsistency which has
ever marked their attitude the demo
Gratis, unmindful of their past record,
are seeking election through a false
harbinger of economy" The records
do not show it and despite the fact
that in this election people are not
talking as much as usual, they are
reading and they know the records.
From every part of the state comes
the intelligence that the sentiment is
strongly republican. In the eastern
district, the strongest republican part
of the state, Scott Leavitt has already
been conceded the election to congress
and republican legislative candidate;
are running far stronger than theil
democratic opponents. In the west
where there are more democrats, the
election will be closer, it always is
but here, too, every indication points
to a substantial republican victory

party has nominated strong men fOl

in the senate. And to cap the climax
of the whole, the entire daily press of
the state, with a few exceptions, has
published countless false and mis-
leading statements regarding the con-
duct Of the Dixon administration DUR
ing the past two years.
And now the showdown has come.
The men who fought with Dixon two
years ago at the legislature are telling
their constituents about the real his

come when a change is necessary,
Judge Cheadle stated, and the con-

The last Republican rally in Boze-
man was held on Saturday evening at
the Emerson auditorium with a good
sized audience in attendance. Judge
E. K. Cheadle Of Lewistown was the
speaker Of the evening, discussing the
state and national issues and candi-
dates. He spoke for two hours, hold
ing the interest and attention Of his
hearers throughout that time at a
high tension.
S. c. Moore, chairman Of the Gal
latin county Republican Central COM
mittee presided, introducing the can
didates to the audience as we'll as the
speaker Of the evening. The candi-
dates received hearty applause as they
were introduced, and their qualifica-
tions given for filling the office to
which they aspire. w. S. Stephenson,
candidate for county attorney spoke
briefly, stating his stand upon law
enforcement, in a most decisive man
ner. He told the people he was stand
ing firmly upon the platform of law
enforcement including the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws. He also
stated that James Smith, candidate
for sheriff was making the race upon
the same platform.

forceful and interesting of public
speakers. He handled his subject in

COMMISSIONERS
NOT CONSULTED
City Commissioners Have Nothing to
Say About Appointment of
City Officers.

To correct the erroneous impress
sion which many people received from
the published interview with Mayor
Hall in Sundays Chronicle, the
Courier interviewed E. ]. Parkin, city
commissioner, in reference to the ap-
pointment of new officers which took
place when the commission form Of
government was adopted in Bozeman.
Many readers gained the impression
that the commissioners themselves
made the appointments.
"1'he city commissioners, were not,
so far as know, consulted in regard
to the various officials appointed by
City Manager Sam Mendenhall," said
Mr.. Parkin, owe had no tentative list
of men submitted to us, in fact the
first we knew about the new officials
was when their names We're handed
to US by Manager Mendenhall at the
meeting of the city commission. The
law distinctly states that various city
officials, including chief of police, are
to be appointed by the city manager
and it is not even necessary for the
commissioners to approve of these
appointments, nor was this done save
in the case of police magistrate. The
responsibility for these different ap
pointments is Mr.. MendenhalP'
alone"
mo reflection whatever" continued
Mr.. Parkin, ''is attached to the fac
that some of the men who held offici
under my administration were not re
appointed by Mr.. Mendenhall. Thes
men were not dismissed, for the Law
under which the city manager was in
stalled is to the effect that all pre-
vious city officials shall automatica
| lly cease to hold office when the cit
manager assumes his duties"
II wish to make it perfectly clear,
concluded Mr.. Parkin, chat the cit
commissioners had nothing whateve
to do with the appointment of me-
chief Of police or any other office an
any criticism of these appointment
cannot be laid at the door of the thre
commissioners"

some length in telling the citizens Of

last state legislature for new tax leg

to continue without breaking down. 1t
was when he explained that the pres
