The call for the convention asked for at least 15 delegates, except the Eighth, where there was only 6. It was apparent that while the attendance was not as large as previous years, the spirit was the same and the vote would be counted just as much. Mike Griger, as chairman of the central committee, called the convention to order about 8:30 o'clock and called the roll. Then the chairman called for nomination of a temporary chairman. They made him hold his job, and did the same with the secretary, and later made the temporary organization permanent. **Makes Short Speech.** Chairman Griger, who has been known to fame as the mayor of Bigham, made a short speech, in which he said that the "Labor movement is growing stronger the country over as the flying squadron does to the navy. He favored a judiciary plank in the platform that would cut across the horns of the other conventions, and was also a friend to the interest of labor." John Murphy, W. H. Arnold and Tom Williams were named as the committee on credentials; Griger, W. M. Barry and John Connell as the committee on permanent organization and George Yorgan, Thomas Devlin, Tucker, C. H. Burke and James Powell as the committee on resolutions. After a recess of 25 minutes the committees all reported without trouble and the temporary organization made permanent. The committee on platform reported that the platform not read. It wasn't. The committee on platform presented a rather short declaration of principles. Chairman Griger expressed the sentiment of the convention pretty well that it was a very strong declaration. All the committee was sure of was that it cut a fight. The report of the committee on platform is as follows: **Report on Platform.** "We, the labor party of the city of Butte, hold its fourth annual convention, pledge our loyalty to the basic platform and principles adopted at our former annual conventions, and reinforced at each succeeding convention. "We believe that there never was a time when the need for labor representation was more clearly defined, as the situation afforded through the labor party convention of this city, and one of the adverse decisions of the federal courts, decisions made by the United States supreme court. "We call attention to the fact that government by injunction has been carried to such lengths that working people are helpless. The names of Shannon, Catto, Lenhan, Plunkett and Reynolds, all show better opposition to menace our rights to free speech, the press and organized labor. "We particularly commend our brethren in the state of Idaho to executive in refusing a pardon unless like clemency be extended to all labor cases as great as that which was offered to him. **Errors Denounced.** "We denounce the recent decision of the United States supreme court denying the right of picket on the public streets and highways to the laws laboring people. Government by injunction must cease. We call upon all friends of organized labor to rally to the support of the labor party and to assist in abolishing the laws behind which capital hides to suppress every lawful demand against the working people. "We favor the recommended and businesslike administration of the affairs of our city, and deprecate every unseemly squabble between the city council and the city executive when the best interests of our community demand unity of purpose, for the sake of good municipal government, and party predominance are fostered at the expense of our city's welfare. "We feel that we have not received fair treatment at the hands of those in the appointment of the judges and justices of the peace of our police court, and we herewith protest against the arbitrary manner in which our representation is made by the so-called city fathers." **Errors Is Taken.** When the platform had been adopted the question came up as to whether to allow the delegates to select candidates. Delegate Murphy wanted them to. Delegate Tucker wanted to. About it came [illegible] where the convention cut [illegible] the last republican legislature had passed a law which limited a man to his ballot on a ticket only. The chairman ruled that he believed the convention could indorse the candidates of other parties for the municipal election and put them on the labor ballot but once, and then in the convention the straight labor ticket first. "I think the best thing to do," explained Tom Williams, one of the best speakers in the labor ranks, "is to indorse good candidates. It has been the curse of the labor party to have a number of candidates some years ago. If we can't find a man in our own labor movement to indorse, I am not in favor of indorsing one from other parties." **Want Union Men.** George Yorgan said the Eighth ward was controlled by the Butte Miners Union, and he alleged others had put up men from the works. The miners, as Mr. Yorgan explained it, whatever its to vote for a corporation is no friend to labor. Mr. Devlin made a short speech in which he believed the labor men wanted a man who was not a saloon man, and who is not a member of the labor party; only a union card. The report of the committee having six different parties had crowed in among the meetings, the announcement. Now the men who were running on the different parties of the convention practically saying the labor party did not amount to much. When the second recess was over— Mike Griger told of the story of a labor candidate in Anaconda some years ago in the First ward and made a good story, was made in the candidate. He was called on for a speech. Then he was called out of the contest in the city contest. The Second ward named Jack McKenna, the Labor ward [ward?] for alderman and the First named John M. Hurake, the republican candidate. The new men named, were left to the central committee to fill. Those nominated in the various wards: First ward, John O'Brien; Second ward, Jack McKenna; Third ward, George Yorgan; Fifth ward, P. M. Barr; Sixth ward, Thomas Devlin; Seventh and Eighth ward, Tom Williams. The vacancies, it was announced, will be filled later. ## Column 3 # S.S.S. CURES CATARRH Catarrh is not merely a disease of the mucous membranes and inner linings of the body as some of the symptoms would seem to indicate; it is a deep-seated blood disease, in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Like all other blood diseases, Catarrh comes from poisons and impurities accumulating in the circulation which irritate and inflame the tissues and mucous surfaces, and then the unpleasant symptoms of the disease are manifested. There is a ringing noise in the ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, filthy matter drags back into the throat, the breath has an offensive odor, and many other annoying and unpleasant symptoms are characteristic of the trouble. Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., cannot reach the blood, and are therefore valuable only for the temporary relief they afford. To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose; it goes down into the circulation, where is the only real matter, purifies the blood and makes a lasting cure. When S. S. S. has removed the irritating and inflaming poisons, the blood nourishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxious matter, and the disease will pass away. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free. **THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.** --- # RIGHT-OF-WAY AGENTS BUSY IN BEAVERHEAD Special Dispatch to the Standard. Dillon, March 23.—A special agent, representing the Milwaukee road, has been at work on Horse Prairie, making inquiries among the ranchers of that section for the right of way for the proposed line from Armstead. The ranchers are looking for the Salmon river country in Idaho. Word comes from Armstead that parties are engaged in a like work over the divide into Idaho. Wisconsin people have made the agent pays the amount the road will offer for the right of way from Montana ranchers. Some particulars have been paid in this connection. It is confidently believed that construction of the railroad will begin this season; which places the road in the head of the proposition is the Montana Western, and it is generally believed by those of the company doing it, others that the Milwaukee is behind the move. A person has given partially reliable information is to the effect that J. W. Byan was not so largely interested in the Gilmore, West Pacific, in Beaverhead county. Since Mr. Byan is very well known as a man in the matter, Word comes that Mr. Byan will be through here again in a few weeks from Pittsburg to look over business matters in connection with the road. $100 given toward a home. Read paragraph at side. **SUIT FOR MONEY.** Charlotte Cassidy has brought suit against H. J. Hauswirth and Robert Hauswirth for $700. She alleges that they have leased from Sept. 15, 190[?], and for 3 months, is ready "in account of cash deposited." Dr. Dodd, 111 N. Main St. Any style of glasses, from $1, mounted in gold, $2. Duplicates any lens 35 cents. --- **WINDOW SHADES** 35c to $1 EACH **Pritchard-Harrison Carpet Company** --- **Wall Paper Friezes** You will enjoy looking over our very large and attractive stock of wall paper. In sizes, we show all lengths; in fact, the quality, and, next, we have the largest stock, and we are showing the last, the lowest price, because as we always say, the proper time to paper would be to get the prices at the following at our store first of all. You may feel no responsible for that reason. This is one of the most handsome house to say, and unless it seems pretty clear if you will you will love the house for making [illegible] one of the best stocks in the home. We import more paper on the house as on wall papers, and get our prices from New York and Eastern makers, and now with others' prices say if you don't know us on paper first, unless good as on this market. **RIDDELL PAINT AND ART CO.,** 16 W.

Admission: Adults 50c, Students 25c ## Column 4 # GREAT INTEREST TAKEN IN SUGAR BEET PLANS **COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED TO SECURE SUBSCRIPTIONS.** # FOR THOROUGH EXPERIMENT **Fully two hundred acres of beets will be grown this year—Entire community in Dillon enthusiastic over proposition.** Special Dispatch to the Standard. Dillon, March 23.—George B. Pfeilsticker, attorney, appointed the local sugar beet association organized here Saturday afternoon, appointed the executive and finance committees today. The executive committee is composed of Geo. Pfeilsticker, Theodore Nelson, John Ewing, W. A. Jones and I. P. Himsacker, and the finance committee of A. L. Stone, W. M. Oliver and Adolph Elm. These committees will begin at once upon the duty of raising a fund with which to carry out an experiment on a comparatively large tract of sugar beets in all sections of the Beaverhead valley this year, and of interesting the farmers and inducing them to put in from half an acre to five acres of beets this year. It is expected that fully 200 acres will be planted with beets this year, and enough farmers have been represented to grow beets to make a total of 10 acres. **They Will Help.** Messrs. Black and T. J. Walsh, who were here from Helena, representing the Helena people who are largely interested in the Beaverhead ranch, drove to Dillon from Armstead yesterday. Before leaving they put down the Beaverhead Ranch Company for five acres of beets this year. It is insisted that this company will enter into the proposition and will raise acres of the 5,000 acres necessary to see if the factory town in this section go after a factory next year. Mr. Pfeilsticker spoke, who is very enthusiastic upon the proposition. He says one of the concerns they may [illegible] offer a prize for the best beets grown and [illegible] publicly announcing this morning that he would give a purse of $25 in gold to be given for the exhibition of sugar beets at the Beaverhead fair this year. It will give an association to place the prize offering. The amount is the way of encouragement at the Beaverhead county fair this coming fall. ## Column 5 # MINISTERS OF BUTTE DISCUSS CITY POLITICS **NOT IN SWIM, BUT WILL EXERT THEIR INFLUENCE.** # TO ELECT BEST CANDIDATES **Consider coming election from standpoint of civic righteousness** **Will map out course — Startling statement as to saloon keepers.** "No, the Butte ministers are not in politics," was the emphatic denial of Rev. E. O. Tilburn, secretary of the Butte ministerial association, to whom a question put by a Standard reporter last night. "But we are going to investigate, as you may say, in the broadest sense of the term." The interview was prompted by the following notice sent out by the secretary: "There will be a special business meeting of the Silver Bow Ministerial Association held March 24, to consider the coming election of aldermen, and to hear the views of the ministers concerning the same from a standpoint of civic righteousness. At yesterday's meeting the ministers talked over the question of the many different candidates to be voted on, placing the most democratic ticket, Candidates from a moral point of view." "But no personalities were engaged in this discussion," continued the secretary, "neither did we say we would or did say we will vote for this candidate or that one in public statement. The association did not map out a course what candidates to be supported and probably will do. It was stated that there are no wits in the Butte Ministerial association, but that we, men running for office, with the purpose of seeing that men are most morally desirable candidates from the moral point of view are supported, are to put the best men in office. The decision in the matter will doubtless be made at the meeting set for Wednesday morning. "But at no time will it be the purpose of the association to use politics. We will simply learn who the best men are and then take care that the best men are placed in office. There will be no effort to stand high with ministers of the gospel, but to give only no personal statement from one in the position of leadership." "The association holds that every candidate is in the saloon business who, because of his associations would make him absolutely undesirable as an officer of the city, whether it is clear that the actions of such a one is the character that we are looking for. Nor among us would not be opposed in him." --- **IN SEARCH OF A LOST MAN** **Mother and wife and children in Kentucky mourning over dis-appearance.** The clerk of the district court has received a letter from Mrs. John O. Turtles of Bush, Ky., postmaster at Bush, Ky., inquiring about her son Silas Turtles who disappeared. It is said, or was last heard from in Butte, Mont. The letter says Turtles was employed as a miner in Harlan county, Ky., up to a few years ago. The disappearance was that he was around much with one Harkness and they both came west. He was about 27 years of age and a large red haired man. The letter indicated he was murdered. His wife and children are in great grief, and broken of grief and his old mother is pining her loss. --- ## Column 6 **You'll See Here** The pick of fabrics from the world's greatest mills; the products of the leading American weavers; the results selected by us for our trade exclusively and made especially for us by the # House of Kuppenheimer And other well-known makers, in their finest Serge, Cassimere, Suits and top coats for men and the "younger set," $30. $25 to $15 [Advertisement illustration] **Bousker's** THE STORE OF GOOD TASTE IN MEN'S WEAR --- **BUTTE COMMERCIAL BANK** HALF BLOCK --- # IN SEARCH OF A LOST MAN **Mother and wife and children in Kentucky mourning over dis-appearance.** --- **Economy** The plan of depositing all money over and above what you're paying all bills by drawing checks on your account in our bank, is the best plan and then you have money to go on.
