Page overview

An interior page of the Anaconda Standard for Tuesday, March 24, 1908, mixing local news briefs, civic reporting, and a dense array of display advertising. The upper half is dominated by four editorial columns — a poorly-attended labor convention report, a large patent-medicine advertisement for S.S.S., a sugar-beet agricultural interest story, and a ministers-of-Butte civic item — while the lower half is almost entirely commercial: grocers, opticians, banks, real-estate brokers, a saloon, and a carpet company. The editorial tone throughout is brisk and functional, with no banner event driving the page. Advertising occupies roughly half the page's total area, giving the whole a cluttered, commercial-paper character typical of provincial Montana daily presses of the period.

Juxtapositions

  • The 'IS SENT TO THE ASYLUM' brief about Patrick Murphy — a former bartender — runs in the same general column as the labor-convention story, placing one working-class man's collapse alongside a report on organised labour's own faltering attendance.
  • The S.S.S. patent-medicine ad claiming to cure catarrh by purifying the blood sits directly between the labor-convention story and the sugar-beet agricultural item, so that health quackery literally divides civic and economic news at the centre of the page.
  • The BUTTE COMMERCIAL BAR display ad sits in the lower right alongside banking and optical-trade ads, a small illustration of Butte's mixed commercial life in which a saloon advertises on equal footing with a savings bank capitalised at $300,000.

Murphy, formerly a well-known bartender in Butte, for several years an almost helpless paralytic, was committed to the state insane asylum yesterday afternoon after an examination by Drs. Horst and Turner. Murphy has long been a burden on his family and was examined on a charge of insanity once before, but was not found insane at that time. The examination yesterday took place at his home on West Quartz street. His wife testified that he had been growing dangerous lately, threatening to kill her and the children and they were afraid of him. ### Stockholders' Meeting. The ninth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Hennessy Mercantile company will be held in Butte on Monday, March 30, 1908, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. C. J. KELLY, Secretary. We sell a better shoe for less money, "that's all." Chicago Shoe Store, 25 South Main, Butte. ## Column 3 # NO LARGE ATTENDANCE AT LABOR CONVENTION ## OLD-TIME EXCITEMENT MISSED BY THE AUDIENCE. ### THREE ALDERMEN ARE NAMED One is straight labor, one is democratic and one is republican. Platform adopted complains of the way workingmen are served. While not so numerous or as noisy and belligerent as in years gone by, the 25 or 30 delegates who responded to the call for a labor party convention in Judge Donlan's courtroom last evening seemed just as earnest as in the days when there were almost as many parties in Butte as there were candidates to be named. The call for the convention allowed each ward 10 delegates, except the Eighth, where there were to be 13. It was explained that while the attendance was not so large as previously, the feeling was the same and the votes would be coming when needed. Mike Geiger, as chairman of the central committee, called the convention to order, and Secretary P. M. Barso read the call. Then the chairman called for nominations for 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 Geiger, who has been known to fame as the mayor of Big butte, made a short speech, in which he said that the "Labor movement occupies in politics the same position as the flying squadron does to the navy, and the light artillery does to the army." He said he had read the platforms of the other conventions, and saw little in them in the interest of labor. John Murphy, W. H. Arnold and Tom Williams were named as the committee on credentials; P. M. Barso, J. J. Nicholson and Ben Garfield as the committee on permanent organization and order of business, and George Tucker, C. H. Burke and James Powell as the committee on platform. After a recess of 10 minutes the committee on permanent organization reported, making the temporary organization permanent. The committee on credentials asked that the report be not read. It wasn't. The committee on platform reported a very short declaration of principles. Chairman Tucker expressed regret that the committee had not had the time to make a more ringing declaration. All the committee reports were [adopted?] without a fight. The report of the committee on platform was as follows: ### Report on Platform. "We, the labor party of the city of Butte, Mont., in convention assembled, do hereby reaffirm our adherence to the platform and principles adopted at the inception of the party in 1900, and reindorsed at each succeeding convention. "We believe that there never was a time when the interests of organized labor were more in need of the protection afforded through the labor party than at the present time, in view of the adverse decisions of the federal courts, and particularly of the United States supreme court. "We call attention to the fact that government by injunction has been brought close to us by the incarceration of our brothers and comrades, Shannon, Cutts, Lenihan, Plunkett and Edwards, for no other purpose than to menace our rights to free speech in the interests of organized labor. "We particularly commend our imprisoned brother, Joseph Shannon, in refusing a pardon unless like clemency be extended to his comrades in prison as that which was offered to him. ### Supreme Court. "We denounce the recent decision of the United States supreme court denying the right of organized labor of advising the public of the enemies of the laboring people. Government by injunction must go and we call on all friends of organized labor to rally to the support of the labor party to assist in abolishing the laws behind which federal judges frame up pernicious rulings against the working people. "We demand an economical and businesslike administration of the affairs of our city, and deprecate the unseemly squabble between the city council and the mayor, realizing that the best interests of our commonwealth do not receive the attention they deserve, when personal ambition and party predominance are fostered at the expense of our city's welfare. "We feel that we have not received the recognition due us as a party in the appointment of the judges and clerks of election by the city council for the coming election, and deplore the arbitrary manner in which our request was ignored by the so-called city fathers." ### Recess Is Taken. When the platform had been adopted a recess was taken for 10 minutes to allow the delegates to select candidates. When the motion was put, Delegate Tucker wanted to know if the convention could indorse other candidates. He had understood the last republican legislature had passed a law that a candidate's name could appear on a ticket only once. Chairman Gelger [sic] said he believed the convention could indorse the candidates of other parties, but the name of the nominee would appear on the ballot but once, and then in the column of the party nominating him first. "I think the best thing to do," exclaimed Tom Williams, one of the wheel horses of the party, "is to leave this business of indorsing alone. It has been the curse of the labor party since I became a member of it 10 years ago. If we can't find a man in our own party better let it alone. I am not in favor of indorsing one from any other party." ### Want Union Men. George Tucker said the Eighth ward was controlled by the Butte Reduction works. The two big parties had put up men from the works. The independent voters had no chance whatever but to vote for a corporation man. He understood the Eighth had a candidate. As to the Sixth, he believed the labor men wanted a man ## Column 4 # S.S.S. CURES CATARRH [advertisement, spans columns 4-5] 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 drops 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, removes the catarrhal matter, purifies the blood and makes a lasting cure. When S. S. S. has removed the cause, the blood being pure and healthy nourishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxious matter, and the symptoms all pass away. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. [labor convention report continues from column 3] who was not a saloon man, and who, while not a member of the labor party, carried a union card. P. M. Barso declared that a year ago the different parties had crawled to the labor party looking for an indorsement. Now the men who were running in the Sixth and Seventh wards were practically saying the labor party did not amount to much. When the second recess was over the nominations were called for. John J. Riley, a young man who ran a year ago in the First ward and made a good race, was named as the candidate. He was called on for a speech, and said he preferred to wait until he got in the city council. The Second ward indorsed T. J. Nerny, the democratic candidate, and the Sixth indorsed John M. Hurzler, the republican candidate. The five other wards were left to the central committee to fill. Committeemen were chosen as follows: First ward, John O'Brien; Second ward, M. J. Geiger; Fourth ward, George Yaeger; Fifth ward, P. M. Barso; Sixth ward, George M. Tucker; Eighth ward, Tom Williams. The vacancies, it was announced, will be filled later. # RIGHT-OF-WAY AGENTS BUSY IN BEAVERHEAD Special Dispatch to the Standard. Dillon, March 23.—A special agent, representing unknown capitalists, has been at work on Horse Prairie, making contracts with the ranchmen of that section for the right of way for the proposed railroad from Armstead, this county, to Gilmore, or the Salmon river country in Idaho. Word also comes that an agent has also been engaged in a like work over the divide in Idaho. Whenever a contract is made the agent pays the amount concerned in full, and it [i]s understood that already many thousands of dollars have been paid out in this manner. It is now confidently believed that construction on the railroad will be started some time this year. Who is at the head of the proposition is only surmised. Some held that the Oregon Short Line railroad is the company doing it, others that the Milwaukee is putting up the money, while partially reliable information is to the e[ff]ect that J. W. McCutcheon, who is largely interested in the Gilmore, Idah[o], mines, and who first promoted a railroad over this route, is the head man in the matter. Word comes that Mr. McCutcheon is expected here within a few weeks from Pittsburg to look after business matters in connection with the road. $100 given toward a home.

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 Ministerial association, in response to 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 association: "At the regular Monday morning meeting of the Silver Bow Ministerial association, held March 23, the candidates for the coming election of aldermen were discussed with a view of determining future action on the part of the ministers concerning the same. The meeting was of great interest." At yesterday's meeting the ministers thoroughly discussed the merits of the different candidates for aldermen on the republican and democratic tickets. Nothing was said about the socialists. ### No Personalities. "But no personalities were engaged in," continued Mr. Tilburn, who is the pastor of the Christian church. "We did not say we will not vote for this man or we will vote for that man. The association did not map out a fixed list of candidates to be supported and probably will not. It was stated in the notice that we will look into the matter and get a line on the different men running for office, with the purpose of determining which are the more desirable candidates from the standpoint of civic righteousness. Our motive is simply one of morality. Our decision in the matter will doubtless be reported at the meeting next Monday morning. "However, at no time will it be the purpose of the association to do any electioneering. We will simply exert our influence, in so far as it lies, to see that the best men are placed in office. Of course, saloon men do not stand high with ministers of the gospel," and then followed an unusual statement from one in the position held by Rev. Mr. Tilburn. "I may say, though, that because a candidate is in the saloon business that in itself would not necessarily make him absolutely undesirable as an alderman. If it can be ascertained that the actions of such a one in the council would be unaffected by his business we would not be opposed to him." ### Would Not Commit Himself. Mr. Tilburn spoke of there being a number of saloon keepers on the democratic ticket, but would commit himself to no statement as to what was said as to their qualifications for office. He did allow it to be understood that there had been men in the council who had allowed their business interests to affect their politics, which he held was often far from being for the best welfare of the community. Concluding, Rev. Mr. Tilburn spoke of the handicap a minister is always under in politics. "Putting it bluntly, we are rank outsiders; there is not the chance for us to mix in politics as for men in other professions. We cannot go in and fight fire with fire. Ours must be a moral influence. There is a certain amount of dignity we must preserve. But we are allowed to discuss the merits of the different candidates for office and in this way influence our congregations, in so far as we are able, to vote for the best men for the places from a purely moral standpoint. It is our province to purify the municipal government to what extent lies in our power and that was the motive that actuated the action taken by the Ministerial association yesterday." ### Deaths. The funeral of the late Robert Hauswirth will take place this (Tuesday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at the family residence, 552 North Franklin street, Rev. J. E. Noftsinger officiating. Wesley — The 1-year-and-3-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan E. McDonald died yesterday. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the family residence, 199 Harrison avenue, Rev. F. H. Gwynne officiating. Miss Julia Hansen, aged 21 years, died yesterday. The body will be shipped tomorrow morning on the 8 o'clock train to Deer Lodge for interment, from the residence of her sister, Mrs. Henry Bergman. ### THE NEWSBOYS' CLUB. The auxiliary of the Butte Newsboys' club had a meeting yesterday and after discussing the matter of securing permanent headquarters for the club, a committee was appointed to look into the matter. It is proposed to have headquarters fitted up with reading rooms, gymnasium, etc., and to have them open every evening. It was also decided to have the benefit performance for the newsboys on May 14 and 15. ## Column 6 # 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 is enthusiastic over proposition. Special Dispatch to the Standard. Dillon, March 23.—George R. Featherly, who was chosen president of the sugar beet association organized here Saturday afternoon, appointed the executive and finance committees today. The executive committee is composed of J. B. Poindexter, Theodore Nelson, John Ewing, W. A. Jones and I. F. Hunsacker, and the finance committee of A. L. Stone, W. M. Oilver [sic] and Adolph Eliel. These committees will begin at once upon the duty of raising a fund with which to carry out an experiment on a comparatively large scale of sugar beet growing in all sections of the Beaverhead valley this year, and of interviewing the farmers and inducing them to put in from half an acre to five acres of beets each. It is expected that fully 200 acres of beets will be grown here this year. Already enough ranchmen have consented to grow beets to make a total of 50 acres. ### They Will Help. Messrs. Lewis Penwell and T. J. Walsh, who were here from Helena, to attend the meeting, and who are largely interested in the Beaverhead Ranch company, departed for Helena yesterday. Before leaving they put down the Beaverhead Ranch company for five acres of beets this year. It is stated that this company will enter into a contract to grow at least 2,000 acres of the 5,000 acres necessary to secure a factory, if the people of this section go after a factory next year. The entire community is becoming enthusiastic upon the proposition. J. W. Lusher, proprietor of the Fair store, was the first business man to offer a prize for the best beets grown this year. He publicly announced this morning that he would give a purse of $25 to the person having the best exhibition of sugar beets at the Beaverhead county fair this year. The fair association is also planning to give special inducement in the way of prizes for sugar beet exhibits at the coming fair. # IN SEARCH OF A LOST MAN ### Mother and wife and children in Kentucky mourning over disappearance of Sim Tuttle. The clerk of the district court has received a letter from G. H. Vandeventer of Bush, Ky., postmaster at that place, making inquiries about one Sim Tuttle, who disappeared, it is said, near Paradise, Mont., last August. The letter says Tuttle was employed as a teamster around Plains, Race Track and Paradise, with one E. Hale, and that he was around much with one Jordon Crawford of Paradise. Tuttle was about 35 years of age and a large man. The letter says it is feared he was murdered. His wife and children at Bush are said to be frantic with grief and his old mother is pining her life away.
