He immediately announced that he was championing the' cause of the Republican Party and President Taft and explained that the present ad- ministration was unfavorable because of the country's unrest. I sub- stance he said, the American people expect more today; things dope In the past were unnoticed ha the pub- lic, while today similar actions are censured, badiCating that the people are growing better. 'Briberies in elec- tions and liberal !contributions of money by corporatiOns, in; return for spectral privileges, *Kb 4443 in 1904 and 1908, were common at oue time, but today such practices are prac-: tleally done away with.

Ike Bates returned yesterday trara Great Falls, where he succeeded In eapturiug another man who was sup- posed to be implicated In the safe robbery here last week. He took the man to the county jail on the afternoon train. This man, who gives his name as: Joe Curran, is the last of the four suspects to be captured and Ike is justly proud of the results of his efforts to bring the quartet, whom he changes with the theft, to speedy justice. Bates himself has captured every one of the quartet . and delivered them over to Sheriff Woods, having been appointed special deputy , for a few days. The Great Fails Tribune has the following to say regarding the cap- ture of the last of the four: \Curran was arrested In, this city yesterday afternoon in the Anaconda saloon. He had been spotted on the south side and first was positively identified by his pursuer when he was in the Milwaukee beer hall. But he also did something of the Identification business, and he quick- ly vamoosed when he saw Bates on his trail. With his effort to get away the chase was on, and Bates was fleeter of foot than Curran and he nabbed the accursed man in the Anaconda saloon and started to find an officer. When the two got out on the street the prisoner one more 'had a disposition . to try his hand at a sprint, but Mr. Bates was tool quick Tor him and soon had him in the hands of a policeman and the two took . him to the city Jail. \The prisoner was searced last night at the Jail but there was noth- ing of value found on his person, All the money he had was 50 cents.
