AN ADDRESSTD THE PEOPLEBy the Original Committee of the Marcus DalyMemorial Association.HOW TO SECURE MEMBERSHIPIn the Association—Valuntary Subscriptions—A Mark of Montana’s Appreciation of Mr. Daly’s Great Services to the State.Since the death of Marcus Daly, in response to public sentiment throughout the state, a movement was inflated, looking to the erection of some kind of a memorial which should in some enduring way, commemorate his life and deeds, and perpetuate to AUture generations the memory of his service to the state.Prominent citizens of Butte, the city where Mr. Daly's energies were concentrated and from whence he initiated the great industrial movements which have done so much for the upbuilding of the state at large, met some time since and organized a movement from which has been crys-tallzed what is now known as tin* Marcus Daly Memorial association. At a meeting of these citizens, called especially for the purpose, it was deemed advisable to confer with thd Miners' Union, of Butte, and enlist, if possible, the cordial co-operation of that great organization. This was done and the movement at once received the enthusiastic approval and co-operation of the Miners' Union and of the toilers of the state generally.After due consultation with a committee from the Miners' Union, a com-•mittee, consisting of twenty-one members. was appointed to organize .1 memorial association. The committee consisted of Ex-Governor J. E. Rickards. W. II. Eddy, president of the Minors' Union; Former Judge W. O. Speer. M. .!. Mooney, Hon. II. L. Frank. Michael Dempsey. Mon. llenry Mueller.

Montana.The original committee has formulated the following address to the. people of the state of Montana:When the death of Marcus Daly was announced, a sentiment in favor of some enduring tribute to his mem ory found expression throughout the state. Since that time, there liuv4 been earnest renewals of the suggestion that public* appreciation of his lifework take tin* form of some appropriate memorial. Under the cL* cumstanees. it was deemed fitting that action In* taken, first of all. by those who. during the active years of Mr. Daly's life, were his neighbors and bis constant business associates. This brief address is issued by them for the purpose of calling the attention of the citizens of Montana to the project respecting which it is proper that all should be consulted and in which.I it is believed, all will be willing participants.It is not intended at tliis time to review Mr. Daly's record in business life. His career in Montana is an open book; his fellow citizens are familiar with it. During an eventful quarter of a century, he was conspicuous in the state's affairs. By common Consent, he was recognized as Montana's industrial leader. He was pub lie-spirited in all that he planned, much of that which lie achieved lias proved to be si large and lasting contribution to the well-being of the state. in c\ery social relation, his is a stainless name. He shared lib-jerally in every plan which aimed to i promote the common good and the public welfare. His benevolences were more than generous, and his many kindly offices are cherished memory. He was the courageous promoter of industrial undertakings that lias given Montana world-wide distinction.Over this state's wide area, monuments to Marcus Daly abound. They attest his splendid achievements; they will long endure, to bo a benefit to the state and a blessing to its people. But these are monuments of his own building. That which is now proposed is a memorial which shall bear witness to the fact that his career finds appreciation and that his name is held in grateful remembrance by a commonwealth in which, while he lived, bis was a guiding hand and of which iiis memory mc.’.bs well Believing that among the people of Montana there can ho no difference s of opinion as to tin* propriety of the proposed public tribute, the signers of this address clcleghteu by a large number of their fellow editions, take this nicil.o-l of announcing U fin* people of the state Ii:«*t the movement for tls-:.* civinni of a Italy memorial has Invn formally starred. 1* is intended tint thin shall be. in some form of embuitig art. a trhute worthy of the ,st *i: \ lt;;i .is of him\ hose name and deeds it will commemorate.
