Bolters Hold Their Own Convention in Helena
A large bolting faction from Montana’s Democratic convention marched to Englehorne's hall and organized a temporary committee. They denounce irregular seatings of delegates, condemn W. A. Clark, endorse Bryan for president and Stevenson for vice president, and press eight hour work, anti-immigrant, and anti-trust measures with broad party reforms.
Montana Bolters Fight for Seating at State Convention
At the Butte state convention a Deer Lodge delegation pressed for seating after being rejected by the state central committee. A minority report backed by 72 of 91 delegates sparked protests and a new push toward forming a separate Bolter faction. The assembly adjourned to appoint a state central committee and set a path for county conventions while factions argued over governor candidates and fusion prospects.
