MILPITAS, Oct. 19.—A grand mass meeting of the people of Milpitas, who assembled without regard to . party feelings, was held to-night to hear E. A. Hayes, the Republican candidate for Congress In the Fifth Congressional District. Hayes spoke at length on the necessity of keeping the present ad- ministration in power; of the benefit of protection to all people, and especlally to Californians; of expansion and what the opening of the Eastern trade had done for this coast; of the interest of the laboring classes in having the tar- iff upon foreign importations high enough to enable manufacturers to compete. He stated that he believed in the employment of white labor in all business ventures and. that he had never allowed a Mongolian to work for him. His remarks were enthusiastic- ally received and many pronounced Democrats publicly stated that they It I8 & gri that meetings like ours or that we countenance radicalism in industry or'in politics Other speakers during the evening were: C. J. Williams, Union Labor neminee for Congress in the Fifth Dis- trict; Bdward J. Kerwin, who is run- ning for the Assembly in the Forty- second; James Bowlan and Thomag F.

At a distance, doubtless the statement sounds important. Here it is of very slight moment in the national cam- paign, though the warmth of the local fight, the necessity of conserving every vote in the fight, warns each faction and their newspapers not to speak too slightingly of it. But the Labor party of Montana, it should be understood in California and elsewhere, does not by any means represent the labor vote or the labor element of this State. It is a faction. Bitter opponents of the party to which the faction Is allied refer to its chief spirits as the “leaders of the fistful.” Money has always been easy in Mon- tana so far as anybody can remem- ber and so at election times it is ex- pected that the great business interests fighting for supremacy shall “turn loose.” They do. A campaign in any of the larger towns, especially in Hel- ena or Butte, is a sight to see. It had been said that the big corporations having ‘come together,” either as a financial fact (not admitted) or hav- ing a common working basis in poli- tics, there would not be much doing this campaign. Considerable unhap- piness among the great army of those adepts who are most profited at such times has been noted. The tenderloin and w is known in San Francisco as the “cocktail route” were especially miserable for weeks touching the out- look. But the gloomy forecast was in a great measure unwarranted. THE GOLDEN DAYS. To be sure, Senator Clark Is prac- tically out of it—and oh the glowing memories, the legends that are told of those many days when he had ambi- tions to fulfill and old Marcus Daly kept whipping the pond as fast as he cast his bait, of how there was carte blanche everywhere and of how early teamsters would find their way blocked in the morning by piles of empty champagne bottles and of how the bartender estimated the cost of a | round of drinks by just running his eye over the crowd and how no ques- tions were ever asked. But that's a story that has been told. Senator Clark’s ambition is realized. He is a Senator all right and his term does not expire this year nor next nor the year after. Senator Clark set aside ‘a matter of fifty thousand dollars to spend iu this campaign in Montana, just to show that he has not lost interest in poli- tics. Then there is F. Augustus Helnze, president of the United Copper Com- pany, who runs the “anti-trust” cam- paign. His enemies say he is not a spender, but he has a large following, and they won't let him play in a game like this unless he is at least a good fellow. The Amalgamated, the so call- ed “trust,”” commonly referred to as the “Standard Oil,” is said to have money in bank. So there is no appar- ent need of the crowd that works poli- tics in . Montana to be disheartened even though Senator Clark this year be only playing his ante and raises no- body. The situation at large here may be briefly stated: STATE FOR ROOSEVELT. The State is reasonably certain for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Farmers, ranchmen, sheep and cattle men, are solid for the Republican ticket. ‘Where the miner is for Parker it is Lecause of the influence of the Colorado labor troubles upon him and the be- lief that somehow or other the Presi- dent should have interfered in that matter in the miners’ behalf. The Democratic 'party is regularly organized and hopes to re-elect Gover- nor Toole, to carry the State for Par- ker and Davis, of course, to elect a Democratic Legislature and by this means ‘to promote the elected Governor to the United States Senate, there to take the place of the present Demo- cratic incumbent, Senator Paris Gib- son. The Republicans are better organized than for many years and is making an active and effective campaign. The managers are very confident of victory, both as to the State ticket headed by Hon. William Lindsay for Governor, as well as the national. In case of a Republican Legislature Hon. Thomas Carter ‘wiHl be returned to the United States Senate in Mr. Gibson's stead. The third element, an active and ag- gressive one, is F. Augustus Heinze of the United Copper Company. He is the third party and his methods are peculiar.. He professes, personally, no political party. His alm 18 to win. His campaign is “anti-trust,” so called, and he has organized five several an- ti-trust elements into as many parties, and apportioned the offices and the candidatures among them. ‘WHAT HEINZE HOPES FOR. By these means he hopes to win away enough votes from the other parties, or more particularly the Re- publican party, to carry his ends. His ends arg purely local, although he has recently placed the names of the Park- er electors among his other candi- dates at the head of the editorial page of his Butte newspaper. Mr. Heinze's five parties have these names: Anti- trust Republican, anti-trust Demo- crat, Populist, Labor and another known locally by the name of two | Democratic leaders. It was this labor party that, through its executive com- mittee, to which the matter was left, determined after much deliberation, that they were for Parker. These several parties have adopted a ] fusion ticket for the Legislature and local offices and their several leaders have joined. issues for their election. The organization of these elements inte BY S. W. WALL. parties and the reconciliation of their many interests has required a lot of hustling and generalship. Realizing this was to be the case, Heinze at the beginning of it purchased an au- temobile and ha¥ kept in full evidence for some months. It will be seen by bors are directed at local issues. The “trust” of which they are “anti” is the Amalgamated Copper Company, spoken of here quite familiarly as | Standard Oil. The charge that Heinze had sold out to Standard Oil, made before it began and persistently re- peated during its progr lends its own' interest to the campaign. Heinze does not spend a great deal of time denying the charge, but keeps his fight at his command, including two news- papers, a daily and a weekly, at Butte —the News and the Reveille. The Butte Inter-Mountain and Helena Rec- ord, Republican papers, and said to be Amalgamated; keep up a hot fight upon him, using the cartoon and plain ! English unsparingly. The Helena In- | dependent, Democratic, addresses it- self more mildly as against Heinze and directs its assaults chiefly against the Helena Record. The Independent is the principal of Senator Clark’s string of papers. They all, you see, have newspapers to burn the other fellow. This little joke seemed so obvious that I had to introduce it. THE LOCAL FIGHT. The local fight is just now of in- terest, of course, for its possible effect | on the national ticket, but it is and al- | ways has been of such a character as {to have attracted attention far be- | yond the borders of the State, the greater interest in the national cam- shadow it. porations, as I have said, has been for the control of the Legislature for th= making of laws and of the courts for interpreting them. This is the alle- gation of each—that it is the aim of the other. In Silver Bow County, where the city of Butte, the great mining camp, is located, Heinze 1s acknowledged to have won in this battle and to have elected Judges who are, or were, grateful to him for the honor. In important litigation last | year judgments were rendered so gamated that the so-called trust | closed down its works, throwing | thousands out of employment’in.the middle of winter—and winter in these mountains means exactly what it says. Great distress immedlately resulted. The Amalgamated said at the mercy of Heinze's Judges: they (the Amalgamated) must have some relief; if the Governor would call a special session of the Legislature to pass laws that would give it them they would fire up; otherwise, no. It was an extreme case. The blow- ing up of the mines would serve no end; it was wages the men wanted, for their women and children were hun- gry and cold. the election that in seated him; such as were not involved in the liti- tent. But it was a time of stress. A pe- tition of the miners, largely signed, begged the Governor to call an extra session—any old thing to start the works. THE SPECIAL SESSION. With a proviso that the mines be started at once upon its issue, another proviso or declaration that he any action it should take nor guaran- tee any action that it might take, the Governor—these conditions being ac- copted by the amalgamated—called the Legislature togeéther. What is known as the fair-trial law was passed. It gives litigants the right to challenge, so to speak, as many as five judges for the trial of a cause—five on each side. Silver Bow County has three Judges; no other county has so many. The effect is ap- parent. Besides releasing any litigant from the necessity of having a case | tried in Silver Bow or any other county, process of challenge or appeal makes it possible to postpone the trial any case indefinitely. But the mines have been running right along ever since, and Heinze himself is said to have benefited in upon the Judges themselves are also | most interesting to consider. It was Judge Clancy who delivered the judg- ment that resulted in closing the, mines and throwing several thou- sand men out of work. Having| done this, he adjourned ecourt and | was about ‘to take a run into ! thing of the kind, but some hundreds | of miners assembled at the railway station and induced him to postpone his trip. It will be seen how very interesting all this is and how cu- riously it works out. Heinze has not renominated Judge Clancy nor Judge Harney, who has also been accredited to him or his politics. Since the de- cision referred to, Judge Clancy has not been popular with the workers and was not therefore deemed a safe candidate. So both these Judges are now outspoken in their dislike of Mr. | Heinze, and in an appeal he made be- |fore them—one after the other— |a few days ago for an order to re- strain in a certain political contin- gency both refused. It was deemed very important to Heinze's cause, and | the plea was repeated by more than one of the factions. Once he was | called out of bed in the matter and Judge Clancy laughs heartily as he ants sent word to him to come to his (the lieutenant’s) office to talk it over. the names of the parties that their la- | by organization and every other means | paign just now having served to over- | The fight between the cer- | hurtful to the interests of the Amal- | they were | Heinze had been for Governor Toole | Heinze's mines were running all rigat, | gation; personally he was quite con-| and | would not advise the Legislature as to | the time consumed in the| of | other cases by the workings of this | “fair trial” law, some of which work- ! | ings are said to be very curious. The | | effects of the judgments of the courts | | the hills on a rabbit hunt or some- | tells of how one of Heinze's lieuten-. Of course Judge Clancy declined. He declares that this lieutenant of Heinze— whose action he characterizes as an ‘lnsul( to him (the Judge)—is not even a naturalized citizen. Even were he a citizen, the Judge declares, he would | not have gome. “Wouldn't that, skin you?” says the Judge in speaking of it And again: “T would like to have some one hold me while I laugh.” This is | to show the Judge’s temper in the mat- ter. | On the other hand, while the fair- trial law was secured to break Heinze's power in the courts, while the decision that brought it about has Heinze and the Judges and le ter off the ticket, though the dec was in his (Heinze’s) favor, Heinze is making capital out of the great shut down as showing how masterful and cruel “the tr may be wherev necessary to e its ends and how the people subject to this irom rule should condemn it by their votes and work its overthrow at the polls. This is the status of the local political field. Now comes the publican party in the State and in i platform warns the voter that this seeming war of the big } corporations is all a sham. It says For years many of the voters of this county | and of the have been divided of corporation quarrels and corporation ests, and_whil pretense is stil made of kee up these is assurances n belief in the publ tion quarrel as 1 a delusion and a snare, | purpose now is to deliver the State government over to the keeping and control of the bined corporate interests, heretofore arrayed against each other in deadly hostility thr algamatists, the Clarks and the United Copp Company are now united in a common port of the same ticket, made up friends and followers of each of these fa tions. In other words these heretofore con- flicting elements now appear to be lying in the same political bed in so far as the Demo cratic State ticket and platform are comcerned, THE SENATORSHIP. This is the view generally accepted of the case despite the energy and v tuperation characterizing’ the contest. The interest of the campaign centers in the local fight and of this the Sena- torship that will result from the com- plexion of the Legislature is of first importance with many. It is generally conceded that Senator Gibson stands no show. He was what is termed “an accident,” an unexpected compromise |in a heated contest and there are so many other and more powerful men seéking the toga that he is not con- sidered to have a chance. v of Democratie | | As stated, in case | sucéess Governor Toole would be a | candidate.
