Montana voters face a choice between Clark backed by Heinze and the Amalgamated Copper line. The piece argues Clark risks state power to secure favorable courts, cites labor wages and corruption accusations, and urges voters to reject bribery and vote for Cannon and Rosman.
The piece endorses W. L. Cronk as the probable next Broadwater county attorney. It notes his University of Kansas law degree and portrays him as a capable, honest, and upright candidate voters can trust.
A terse note urges voters to oppose a ring rule and boodle culture, arguing defeating Clark now will curb future payoffs and prevent more slick tactics.
The Republican candidate F. W. Combs is described as thoroughly competent to fill the clerk of the district court role. Voters are assured his penmanship and past experience will keep Broadwater court records clean and well presented for years to come.
In Helena on September the labor delegates reject the corporation lawyer for governor and nominate J A Ferguson to lead labor against Clark and Heinze. A state ticket is created, campaign clubs form, and on October 26 nominations close. Reports accuse Clark allies of buying labor candidates and promoting doodle campaigning, urging voters to rebuke the tactic next Tuesday.
The piece mocks political campaigning across the country. It suggests voters drink to cope with intense campaigning and questions the link between eight hour laws or Clark's senate election and voters accepting strong potions from candidates. It frames old W. A. C. as a prominent figure referenced by the satire.
The Star’s remarks about Hon Mr Turncoat Coach are not intended as praise. The write up notes his ticket with Frank Currie and suggests Tierney engineered a push to restore respectability amid romantic links and public intrigue.
A letter from J. K. Toole warns of calamities if not elected governor and urges withdrawals by Dave E. Folsom and Thos. 8. Hogan to boost Toole’s candidacy and the boodle cause. The piece argues voters should act to be pleased with their choice and dismisses regrets as useless.
During the county tour the Clark show faces criticism for neglecting an essay on church hats and Butte barrel tapping. Labor interest costs of Toole's election are not yet disclosed. Acknowledgment of Montana's name is noted, with mixed reception and rising expenses.
