OF JUGGLING THE RECORDS OF CONGRESS IN ORDER TO FILCH CREDIT F CONSTRUCTION OF COLLIER FOR GOVERNMENT.AT MARE ISLAND NAVY YAR PEOPLE FAVOR INCUMBENT|Montana a Political Storm BY §. W. WALL, Staff Correspondent of The Call. HELENA, Mont, Oct. 20.—“Tom” Carter, as he is familiarly and rather affectionately known in Montana, will very likely go back to the United States | Senate as the result of the November | election. He is the pre-eminent Re- i bublican in Montana, although there are a number of Republicans here. In any company of men, not speaking of political parties, former Senator Car- ter could easily be found. As a lawyer he is esteemed of the first rank.” And this is more to his credit and that of his State for the reason that he located people said that Daly was not playing | fair. And that was true—that is, if he owed anything to W. A. Clark, and I'm not going into that, for there's a great difference of opinion and life is too short. Daly went away the day before the election and told his pri- vate secretary’ to see that the name of Tom Carter was on the ballots that | were to be handed out to the boys. Well, the next year the Ter wry’ was admitted, and there came a ques- tion of who should* go to the Senate, as well as to the House, this time as a I regular representative. That made | three chances, but, of course, Clark | for the Senate. He Kknew morc} about politics, too, and there was no dream life in Montana during the cam- | f Spot Since Entering Union State Torn by Long and Bitter Battles oi Daly, Clark and Heinze. carried, and the State was for twq years without a second Senator. Gov: ernor Rickarts appointed Lee Mantell, but the United States Senate said this { could not be done, the Legislature hav- ing had a chance and refused. Gover- nor Rickarts being a Republican and the Legislature Democratic, he declined to call a special session, for the reason | that that body had had its chance. WAR OVER THE CAPITAL. In the fall of 1894 Daly and Clark were engaged in their great contest for the location of the State capital, Daly for Helena and Clark for Butte, and not so much attention was given to the election of legislators. The roll- call developed a Republican majority. e Fal | This time there were two Senatorships among the somewhat remote mines and | to fill paign that was to elect its State Les — { mountains of Montana when a young |islature.

HAYES CH A rousing meeting was held last évening in Mission Turn Verein Hall, Eighteenth street, near Valencia, un- der the direction of the Republican State Central Committee. This was the first big district meeting planned by Its purpose was to | the whole Republican ticket, and especially to promote the candida- cy of E. A. Hayes, nominee for Con- issues of the campaign and painted an amusing picture of Democratic despair. His speech was warmly applauded. Senator Welch was received in a manner that demonstrated his popular- ity in his district. He did not enter into a discussion of the principles in- volved in the campaign, but won ap- proval by declaring that when he again goes to Sacramento he will give as good an account of himself as condi- tions will permit and that he will ever keep in mind the interests of his con- stituents. Mr. Welch’'s record in the Senate is well known and he needs no better indorsement. Songs by the Stan- ford University Republican Quartet followed Mr. Welch's' address, after which E. A. Hayes was introduced. Cheers greeted Mr. Hayes, for which he expressed his pleasure, saying, how- ever, that he appreciated the fact that the cheers were not for him as a citi- zen, but as the Republican nominee for Congress in the Fifth District, and be- cause, for the time, he represented the great principles of the Republican party: Mr. Hayes' speech was fuil of inter- esting facts upon which he asked his audience to reflect. Under the forty- ard J. Welch, candidate for the Senate in the Nineteenth District, and Ed- ward F. Treadwell, candidate for the | District. . The meeting was called to order by John Daly, who introduced R. L. Ha- thorn as chairman. Mr. Hathorn, nf-t ter stating the purpose of the meet- ing, briefly reviewed the campaign and | said he had been unable to find any one that refused to concede victory for the Republican tickets—national, State and municipal. Eduard F. Treadwell was the first| of the eandidates to be presented to the audfence by the chairman. Mr. | Treadwell, who is a prominent young lawyer, comprehensively analyzed the < fe EERED BY MISSION RESIDENTS |four years of Republican administra- tion, he said, the nation had become, not a third or a fourth rate power, as it was when the Republicans took con- trol, but the greatest power not only of to-day, but the greatest the world had ever seen. Under Republican admin- istration, he continued, the territory | of the nation had’'expanded, had grown, production and manufacturing = in- creaged and the people enriched, and this, he concluded, was due to the in- comparable monetary and tariff sys- tems maintained by the party. Mr. Hayes was frequently interrupted by applause, and at the conclusion of his address cheers and shouts of ap- proval rang through the hall. Charles M. Shortridge of San Jose was the last speaker of the evening. He was received with enthusiasm. Mr. Shortridge spoke at length, and in con- clusion caliéd upon the audience to give its most earnest support to Mr. Hayes and the entire Republican ticket. Hayes' headquarters have been es- tablished in the Mission at 1038 Valen- cia street.. At these headquarters all day and late into the night, until elec- tion day, voters may learn why E. A. Hayes should be elected to Congress. 5 e e Bell and the collier.

Why he wrote letters to Maine the navy yard and the greatest ob- stacles were created by the threatening letters written by Campbell. Vallejo is not in the Second District, but some of the Vallejo politicians are taking a hand in the contest between Duncan E. McKinlay and Theodore A. Bell. At Republican headquarters the question is asked: “What could Bell do for Vallejo in Congress with the California delegation against him and Campbell for him?" JACOB RIIS GRILLS IOWANS.

Cib RS S were opposing candidates for the office of Delegate to Congress while Montana, | was a Territory. And while Montana, | as a Territory, had never been any- thing but Democratic, Carter won. That wax: because Marcus Daly, a Democrat, heiped him to win and there | ot 1t: began that mighty clash of financial giants that has made Montana famous. It is a spectacular story that I am tempted to run through—from the be- ginning—because there is a climax to | it (there is a climax to it every once- in-go-often) that is impending in this | election in Novembe: HEINZE, DALY'S SUCCESSOR. Here will be a realignment. Old Mar- | cus Daly was the political disturber of | the peace from the birth of live poli- tics in Montana until his own death. W. A. Clark, his antagonist, is prac- | tically off the stage since he has got | what he wanted and is now in the safe | and quiet harbor of the Senate. But! Daly's place is admirably filled by F.| Augustus Heinze, president of the| United Copper - Company, and who | operates along much the same lines ex- | cept that Daly found delight in oppos- | ing and defeating his competitor’s am- | 1 Sheriff ca | two other: rats elected W.

FUGITIVE LEGISLATORS. | Fearful of the machinery of the| courts some Democratic Senators had taken a special train to flee from the | State, that the aggressive Republicans might not have a quorum, and the Lieutenant Governor, a Republican, telegraphed to the Sheriff at Glendive | to arrest and bring them back.

But Becker was enough, | and although when brought to the bar | of the Senate he refused to explain or | to take part his vote was counted as negative, and some important business was transacted that day. Becker was released under surveil- lance and allowed to go to his room. That was Sunday morning. .Sunday evening, dressed in overalls and carry- ing a dinner bucket, he made his es- cape by means of a special engine and crossed the Idaho line.

This is not| the story. I told that story in a pre-| vious dispatch. T merely mention the | very curious thing by way of showing | that the death of Marcus Daly and the | temporary pocketing of W. A.

Clark was | nominated for Delegate to Congress by the Democrats, and there was nothing to it, for the Republicans were so few. Marcus Daly, who had a great fol- lowing, congratulated his friend Clark. The Republican convention was very dull. Tom Carter, a young lawyer, consented to take thé nomination, for at least it would advertise him, and he needed to have attention called to | him. Shortly before election day some | next winter and the State equipped | with needful legislation. This was | Montana's first whirl at self-govern- | ment. | VACANT SENATORSHIP. { The Senatorial contest had been | carried to Washington and Sanders | and Powers seated. Sanders had drawn the short term and his suc- | cessor was to be chosen in 1893. The | Legislature that year was Democratic, the Governor Republican. There were three Populists, who held the balance of power, and one of these was given the chair, so evenly were the two par- ties divided. Daly performed here ex- | actly as in the first instance. It had been supposed that the feud was end- | ed and that Clark would be the caucus nominge. Just before the caucus was called Daly opened headquarters at the capi- | tal and no Daly Democrat took part. Balloting continued until the last day of the session, with some slight fluc- tuations, and on that last day it was thought Clark had a majority. The count developed just one short and time was up. There was a really dra- matic situation for you. State Senator Mattz of Missoula County took the floor | and declared that Clark could not be | elected; he would vote for any other | good Democrat. A motion to adjourn | | SEATED. W. A. CLARK U In 1899 the Legislature was again Democratic and Clark was again a candidate. This was like old times In the midst of the contest Senator Whiteside of Flathead County pre- sented the Speaker with thirty one- thousand dollar bills, saying they had been given him by one of Clark’s lieu- tenants. Some of Clark’'s following talked of going over to Toole, the for- mer Governor, but Clark rallied them, declaring the thirty thousand to be Daly's money and the whole thing a trick. Not only did they believe him, but 1~ now gained and finally won Daly engaged former Senator munds and some other of the best le talent and prosecuted a contest Washington.

A few days prior to Senator Clark resigning Governor Smith, who was a laewyer of considerable repute, was en gaged by one of Clark’s lieutenants te go to San Francisco to try a big mining suit. The Populist Lieutenant Gove nor was at the time awagy off in D kota. Goyernor Smith named to act in kis stead during his contemplated ab- sence the president of the Senate, Mor- ris of Beaverhead County, who was al- 80 a recognized Daly man. But as Governor Smith passed out over the south line of the State Lieu- tenant Governor Spriggs came in from the east, came straight to Helena and took the Governor’s office on the morn- ing that Senator Clark resigned. Some people said it was sharp practice. Governor Smith had seen no newspa- pers until he arrived in San Francisco, being carefully accompanied, and when he there learned what had been done he straightway took the train back to Helena and undid it, appointing Major Martin Maginnis as United States Sen- ator.
