The democratic leader claimed that the administration's candidate, "has no record as a reformer, and his speeches do not indicate a definite purpose or a courageous program." This is true, for all that the secretary of war has ever said in this particular is that he stands for President Roosevelt's policies, and this has been a general and not a specific ttate-ment going into any discussion of those policies. In truth, it has been a case of "Me, too. Taft." Mr. Bryan said: "Without the spirit of the administration the secretary would scarcely have a state in the convention, and with the president's sup hall a century Has been giving the people pure food long before a pore food law was thought out for either state or nation.

HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED FROM TWO BUTTE FIRMS Milling' Company Accused of Refusing to Furnish Him With Flour Because of Alleged Threats of Other Dealers. A flour war broke out yesterday In the courts, rival dealers being at outs In regard to the distribution and sale price of a certain brand of that staple article of diet. Patrick McCarthy, a grocer, began suits in the district court against Tripp Dragsted and the Youlden Grocery company for 520,000 for alleged interference with the business of the plaintiff and against the Royal Milling company to compel that corporation to carry out an alleged contract for the sale of a ton of Rex flour to Plaintiff McCarthy for 13.15 a hundred. The plaintiff states that March 21 last he entered into a contract with the milling company for the purchase of a ton of the flour at the rate of $3.15 per hundred pounds, it being the de sign of the plaintiff to sell the flour to his customers for the agreed price of from 83.35 to $3.40 per hundred pounds.

Tripp Dragsted and the Youlden company, it is stated, then notified the milling company that they would withdraw their trade in flour from that company if it did not Bell Its flour to Plaintiff McCarthy subject to the condition that he would not retail it for a lower price than $3.75 a hundred pounds. By reason of this threat, it is alleged, the milling company refused to fulfill the contract for the delivery of the ton of flour. For the alleged interference in his business Plaintiff McCarthy asks $10,000 damages from each of the two defendants. Hotel Corridors and Streets "The latest plan the people of Den ver have to astonish the visitors to the national democratic convention whtch meets in that city July is to bring down several carloads of snow from the mountains," said a traveling man to a reporter yesterday as he was chatting about a recent trip to Colorado. "You see It Is only sixty miles from Denver to the banks of eternal snow and there is a railway running to tha tops of the mountains where COURTS ounce.

"Snow Is generally found in the summer months in Colorado at an altitude of 11,000 feet. Denver is 5,280 feet, and It is a very easy matter to bring down the snow in a few hours. It is the most astonishing spectacle that hag ever been seen in an American city, and when It Is viewed at the meeting of the democratic national convention It will greatly astonish those who see it." In addition to the foregoing it was stated that a reception is being pre-pared for the delegates from this state by former residents of this state who are now in Denver. It appears that all former residents of this state are to unite in giving the delegates and alternates from this state a rousing welcome when they get to Denver, and as Colorado is plentifully supplied with people who formerly lived here the welcome is likely to be a hearty, one. He (during quarrel) You deceived me before our marriage.

She It's false. He I asked you to say the word that would make me the happiest man on earth and you said "yes." the snowbanks are. It Is proposed to bring this snow down to the convention hall and use It for cooling pur poses. There are immense fans In the convention hall that circulate the air through the place and when this air la drawn off banks of snow It will cool the atmosphere so thoroughly that there will be no possibility of its becoming heated by the fiercest debate. "When the Elks were in Denver two years ago at their annual national meeting they were pelted with snow balls from one side of the street and flowers from the other.

This novel ex perience will be duplicated this season at the democratic convention by having several carloads of snow and huge masses of flowers in the convention hall. "It is surprising how long snow lasts In such a rarefied atmosphere as is found In Denver. I attended the annual gathering of the Eagles in Denver three years ago, and there was a washtub of snow brought down from the mountains and deposited in the headquarters of the grand lodge to show the visitors what climatic novelties Colorado could furnish. The snow was brought in at morning and lasted all that day, all night and in the evening of the following day there was still a considerable quantity of it left My explanation of this is that the ing laws of the United States to certain lands situated in the Bitter Root, valley above the mouth of Lolo fork of the Bitter Root river. After some explanation wVxh was called for by Representative 31ann rel ative to the bill.

Mr. Sulxer of New York objected to it consider ai ion, and it met with the same fate as- the Flathead bill. As before stated, it is thought that Mr. Pray is trying to get. legislation through the house in which Montana is interested, but someliow or other he is most unfortunate ad unsuccessful in accomplishing his purpose.

It looks now as though he would not have much to show for Ms work when the present session of congress adjourns. Republican Injustice to Colored Race. Colored citizens of tl United States have felt very keenly the unfair treatment meted out to members of their race who belonged to the three companies of infantry "who were discharged without hornor and without a hearing by President Roosevelt. Senator Foraker took up the cause of these greatly wronged soldiers and he presented a bill to the senate pro viding for the reinstatement of these men. The republican senate yesterday defeated the senator's bill, and also a like measure introduced by Senator Warner of Missouri.

Some of these colored infantrymen who were discharged without honor had served nearly thirty years in the army, and In a few years more would have been able, to retire upon a pension. Now they find themselves, after years of service, discharged and without a chance of receiving any remuneration in their old age. It should not be forgotten that this was done by a republican and not a democratic president, and that this high-handed action has been -supported by a republican senate. So confident are the leaders of the republican party of always obtaining the colored vote that they feel the negro has no rights that must be respected. It is probably true that no matter how many kicks that party administers to the colored race, its members will still continue to support the republican party.

No General Revival tn Bvsinejs. It is noticed that Mr. James J. Hill says: The general recovery in busi ness -which has been predicted has not yet manifested Itself to any remark able degree, and it is aot to be expected that It should." Apparently Mr. Hill's view is shared by a large number of prominent financiers in the east, who are in touch with conditions throughout the country.

Butte Is in the fortunate position of having its payroll restored, but this condition is not common to the nation at large. We are always apt to judge things from our own standpoint, and the average citizen of this great mining center is apt to Jump at the conclusion that every other community In the United States has had the same kind of an industrial revival that this city has experienced. Such is not the case. There is hardly a large industrial Center in this country that is in any better shape than it was months ago when It comes to the employment of labor. The nation is in better condition in one respect, and that is in relation to the resumption of cash payrr.nt by the banks.

This was brought about largely through Europe finally paying the farmers of the United States for their crops, to market which money had to be raised in this country. Everywhere in this nation today there are idle men who are willing to work, but who cannot find anything to do, and this situation is always an unfortunate one, for it means production along all lines of industry is below normal. The strike of the coal miners in the middle "west is not going to help matters, and is sure to have a depressing effect upon It is true that in the last few weeks the stock market has picked up, but this is not always a correct criterion by which to judge of general prosperity throughout the country. Speculators can so easily manipulate the price of shares that stocks are not always to be relied upon as a correct barometer of the times. i That the copper is better! port, he is having an uphill fight." That is believed to be a fact, for it is remembered that when, about eight- een months ago, Mr.

Roosevelt finally decided to support Judge Taft rather than Secretary Root, people were asking What state would stand sponsor for the candidacy of the secretary of war. AH the sentiment which has been worked up In favor of Mr. Taft owes its origin to the president and to his officeholders, but it must be admitted, looking back over the course of months, that the power of the administration has made itself felt throughout the land. The campaign of Secretary Taft has been an object lesson to the people, showing them, as it has done, what marvelous influence an executive can exert upon his party when he sets himself to work along those lines. It is asserted that Mr.

Taft in his long public career has never been elected to an office, for he has always held appointive positions. It is very likely that the first elective office he ever runs fox will be that of president, and this is something almost unique in 'he history of American politics. In the past, candidates' for the presidency have usually shown their popularity previously by submitting themselves to a vote of the people for some office, and they have generally been either In congress or governors of their states. Secretary Taft has not enjoyed any experience of this kind, and it is an experience that is good for any man who aspires to be the head of the nation. Take the president's Influence away from Mr.

Taft and let him stand on his own merits, and he would not be In the running at all, but it looks very much as though, with the assistance of of Mr. Roosevelt, his nomination will be forced upon the republican party, and the members of that organization will be forced to say they like It. DEMS. BLOCK FAVORABLE REPORT ON NEGRO BILLS Washington, March 31. The five demo crats members of the senate committee on military affairs today succeeded in defeating both the Warner and Foraker bills for restoration to duty of negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were discharged without honor because of the affair at Brownsville, Tex.

The success of the minority was accom plished by voting as a unit against the divided majority. The effect will be to cause both the bills to be reported adversely. A majority of the senate would enact one of the bills, however, and Senator Warner Is hopeful that his measure will yet become law. The essential point of difference between the two bills is that the Warner measure provides that the president may reinstate any soldier upon becoming satisfied that he is Innocent of the charts against him, while the Foraker bill compels the reinstatement of such soldiers if they take oath of their innocence. When the committee met today.

Senator Warner moved to report his bill favorably, whereupon Senator Foraker moved to substitute his bill. The latter motion was defeated, the five democrats, Messrs. Taliaferro. Foster, Overman. Frailer and McCreary.

Toola, which takes effect April 1, Lieufc-Gov. Norris of Dillon becomes executive of the state today. The citizens of this commonwealth are fortunate In having such an able man as Gov. Norris to succeed to this very Important position. Ordinarily a change of this kind would cause some uneasiness and, possibly, apprehension, but in this case there la not the slightest anxiety expressed, because the reputation of the now executive is so well known that everyone feels confident that he will discharge the duties of his office with credit to himself and to the state.

The transfer of authority will be brought about without the slightest friction, and things promise to run along just as smoothly as they have done at any time during the last three years. Undoubtedly the citizens of Montana regret that Gov. Toole should have felt obliged to resign on account of ill health, but at the same time they cannot help feeling gratified that such an able successor is provided to take charge of the office. I Gov. Norris thoroughly appreciates the responsibilities of the position, and he la in every way equipped to perform the duties imposed upon him.

It is believed that during the nine months of Gov. Toole's unexpired term which Mr. Norris will be called upon to fill, he will prove himself one of the best executive's this state has ever had. The chance appear to be excellent that the people of this state will be so pleased with his administration that they will elect him to succeed himself. There is no one who served with Gov.

Norris during the time that he presided over the state senate who does not speak in the highest terms of his Impartiality and fairness, and these are gifts which attract friends to any man in public life. Word comes from Helena that for the present, at least, Gov. Norris does not Intend to make any changes in his official family. Mr. Will Aiken, a former newspaper man, who was Gov.

Toole's private secretary, will remain with the new executive, and this announcement will please every member of the craft throughout the commonwealth. In congratulating Gov. Norris upon his advancement, the Miner cannot refrain from also congratulating the state upon having such a fearless and broad-minded man at the head of the state government. Mr. Pray Not AccompHshinf Much.

Congressman Pray of Montana is undoubtedly doing the best he can to obtain legislation for this state, but so far he has met with anything but success in his efforts. On March 20 he asked for unanimous consent for the consideration of the bill which had already passed the senate providing "for the survey and allotment of lands now embraced within the limits of the Flathead Indian reservation in the state of Montana and the sale and disposal of all surplus lands after allotment." Mr. Williams of Mississippi objected and the bill went by the hoard for the time being, at least. Later in the day Mr. Pray secured permission to print his remarks upon the measure which he did not deliver In the house, but which he would have liked to have done.

On March 23, Mr. Pray asked unanimous consent to consider senate bill No. a measure which had already passed the upper chamber and which ALDERM A NIC CANDIDATES NAMED FOB THREE WARDS OF THE TOWN.

At the caucus iipiu ai me counnouse last evening to nominate a citizens ticket for the coming city election the following candidates were nominated. First ward. Julius Rounds; Second ward, T. Wemple; Third ward, John Lenkers-dorfer. Mr.

Rounds was last week also nominated from the Flrat ward by a petition filed with the city clerk. Robert Moore was nominated In like manner from the Third ward last week. The Third ward is the only one having: two candidates out for alderman. The heaviest snowstorm of the season visited Dillon and the Beaverhead valley last night and this morning. Snow fell to an average depth of more than eight inches.

The weather is very mild, and as lambing has hardly be gun little damage is. contemplated among the sheepmen. Word came to Dillon from Wisdom, Big Hole basin, by telephone this morning, that George Woodwroth, one of the biggest cattlemen of the basin, had sold his large number of beef cattle at the highest price yet paid by buyers in that section. He received cents a pound for them, and It is reliably stated that he cleared $20,000 on his cattle. The finance and executive committees of the sugar beet association are actively working among the business men and ranchers of Dillon, the Beaverhead valley and surrounding valleya and report most flattering success.

There is now little doubt but that the experiment of growing sugar beets In this section will be demonstrated In a very satisfactory manner for both the rancher and the sugar beet men. The farmers' Institute held at "Dell yesterday Is reported to have been largely attended by the farmers of that vicinity, and a most Interesting discussion of the several subjects had.

Seattle, March 31 Despite the solemn assertions of steamship officials of this city that no rate war to the orient was tn project, the meeting of the transpacific freight bureau, held last week decided upon a schedule to cut rates to the orient on wheat and flour, and these rates will become effective tomorrow. The companies represented at the gathering were the Great Northern, Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Waterhouse Boston Steamship company and Dodwell of the Blue Funnel line.
