The piece accuses Clark of repeated repudiation in lawsuits filed in Butte to collect political debts. It notes court records show suits by his political workers and informers, all of which were settled without verdicts against Clark, implying ongoing repudiation of debts.
In a Butte address this month W A Clark emphasized the alleged aim of the amalgamated company to control Silver Bow county's judiciary. The remark is seen as suasive toward Heinze interests, amid longstanding county political tensions and debates over a favorable court system.
The narrative accuses Mgr Heinze of using a plea for fair play to influence judge selection in Silver Bow, arguing his company seeks pliant courts to favor its suits. It contrasts this with Independent Democratic nominees said to be not beholden to any corporation and serving broader public interest.
The article argues that the Miner backs a fusion ticket rather than a democratic one, citing Hon. J. K. Toole as authority for the fusion claim. It asserts the Independent democratic party is the legitimate new ticket, while denying any true democratic slate in Butte and accusing the Miner of false colors.
The article denounces a Clark campaign sheet that claims he is not a boodler or briber. It cites Montana Supreme Court proceedings against his associate John B. Wellcome as evidence of wrongdoing and notes Clark's later appearance before a federal Senate committee.
The trial on boodle and bribery charges ends with a nine senator jury finding Clark guilty. He plans further action but resigns after realizing Senate support for expulsion would be near unanimous. Clark accuses the body of corruption while defending his own innocence.
The piece rebuts Republican boasts that McKinley alone spurred prosperity, noting export growth under Cleveland shows broader causes. It criticizes war expenditures as a fleeting boost and highlights coal strikes and fiscal excesses as real issues, while labeling the era’s gains as not lasting or fully legitimate. It references indigo summer, Butte prospects, and campaign rhetoric around Clark and Toole.
A rambling, satire filled critique of Montana politics cites Clark supporters, the Clark barrel, and the Clarkocracy while mocking campaign tactics and voter registration. It riffs on parties, figures like W A Clark and Tom Reed, and mentions Deer Lodge county voting patterns and party loyalties.
