Billings Times Chronicle of Morris Family and Copper Wars
The article traces the history of Billings pioneer newspaper The Times founded by J. D. Matteson in 1892, sold in 1909 to Mirajah C. Marzis, and the Morris family's continued control. It covers Colonel Morris death in 1916, his sons Aaron and Mitchell, W. A. Clark politics, Montana state affairs, and the Times’ role through early 1900s campaigns and journalistic development. It notes Clark's controversial 1899 senate election and the move toward the seventeenth amendment.
