PLANK
HEADED FOR
CLEVELAND
By J. EARLE MOsER

Hopes of merit-minded Govern
ment employees that at least one
of the major political parties will
adopt strong plank for the el1ml-
nation of patronage will be carried
into the Republican national con-
vention tomorrow at Cleveland by
Mrs. Florence Fifer Bohrer, repre-
senting the National League OF
Women Voters.
It will mark the fifth consecu-
tive campaign year in which the
league has asked a merit system
in public office" among other pro
posed planks which it has Sug-
gested to party platform makers.
In view of the criticism received
by the current Administration
over it's merit policies, the Repub-
licans are believed certain to fol-
low the hint and make merit a
salient point.
What the Democrats will do
later remains a conjecture, but the
same request Of them will be made
by the woman'S organization, a
group which is recognized as
carrying the wholehearted respect
Of every politician in America.
Mrs. Bohrer is a daughter of for.
mer Governor Fifer of Illinois and
is the only woman ever elected to
the Illinois Senate, where she
served for eight years. She Is a
recognized expert on Government
problems, her organization holds,
particularly those relating to quail
fled personnel, the merit systems
principal tenet.
The plank seeks a platform
pledge to wipe out the Spoils sys-
tenn, support legislation to extend
the Civil Service and, aiming at
Section 213. slash marital and
economic discriminatory" features
Of present statutes. Support Of
the gesture is Forthcoming from
the National Federation Of Federal
Employees, which has been in
variably friendly to the feminine
group.

Ierently. he bought the Anaconda and
the Neversweat claims from Mike

money 70 develop his claims and he
went to Hearst, Haggin and Tevis. his
old employers. BY this time william
Clark recognized that he had a for
midable rival in Marcus DAILY and ii
has been said that he tried to discredit

did or not was never definitely de-
cided but it is known that he made a
Lifelong enemy Of DAILY. In 1881 DAILY,
Hearst, Haggin and Tevis formed the
Anaconda Silver Mining Co. and start
ed to sink into the big vein.
AT the 100-foot level q narrow seam
Of Copper Glance" ore was uncovered.
It ran 80 percent copper. On the zoo
root level 1t was Just as rich and Just
as narrow, but at the 300-foot level
the copper ore was five feet wide.
DAILY made a few experimental ship
ments TO Swansea, Wales and started
to sink another 100 feet On the next
level the vein widened to more than so
feet. Copper ore OF such richness and
quantity had never before been heard
Of. AS a silver mine the Anaconda had
been rank failure but it fooled even
its owners by becoming the richest
copper mine in the world
Butte's future was now assured-but
while DAILY was in the midst of bitter
political warfare with w. A. Clark, the
third major actor in Butte's drama
appeared upon the scene.
He was f. Augustus Heinze. He came
to Butte from the Columbia. School Of
Mines In 1889 and went to work for the
old Boston and Montana Mining Co.
as surveyor. Two years later he in
herited $4,000, quit his job and went
to Europe for few months of recre-
alton and study Upon his return to
America he took a position as assistant
editor of the Engineering and Mining
Journal, a publication which still
ranks high with mining men the world
around. His connection with the maya
zine brought him in contact with men
who put up the capital to organize the
Montana Ore Purchasing Co. to build
Smelter to treat ores from the small
er Butte mines This smelter gave
Heinze a foothold in Butte. Soon he
was buying claims throughout the
Butte district. It was to be q battle of
copper kings The "apex problem" was
the big issue. All of the veins in the
Butte Hill were not straight down and
it soon developed that Heinze was
taking ore from the ground beneath
Anaconda Mining Co. claims. The
result was an eight-year war in the
courts of Silver Bow county. Heinze
to have won victory when
the courts awarded him $l4,000s000 but
