for Seat, Then Resigned, Waa Ap-

Yielded to SUndard Magnate,
"Standard OU'a puppet the United
States senate."
That la Thomaa W. Lawson'a Intro
duction to an account of a mamorabl
Clarke election to the United States
senate, and the action of tbe venerable
body of legislators when evidence of
corruption in the Montana legislature
waa produced.
Mr. Lawson handlea the senate with
hie usual caustlo fearlessness. -If be
Clark a" raking that meana aa much or
' more. The Inatallment o( "Frenaled
t Finance" In the November number of
Everybody's magaslne treats of tbe
failure of the Globe National bank and
the contest of tbe Hill and Harrtman
force for control of the Northern Pa-
title, but the greatest Intareat centers
In tha chapter devoted a Senator Clark
- and the-aenata, which begins aa follows:
Clark aad the leasts.
' "At the first election la Montana after
: the Clark-Helnsa lineup, their combined
. forces swept the state. Later, tha leg
islators they elected sent Clark to the
United Statea senate and. apparently hla
a-oal waa won. But In ' stepping from
Montana to Washington the ambitious
mlUloaalr has simply passed out of
the tall trass and entered the enemy's
country. Barbarous Montana waa not
under the Standard Oil spell but In the
senate Rovers was a demigod. ' The first
Intimation Clark had of hla danger-waa
a peremptory notice from Roger to
break with Heinse and ally himself
with tbe Standard Oil, or -be expelled
'from the senate.' - At the time the Mon
tana . copper kins; did not know Mr.
Rogers as well as he learned 4ater and
promptly he suggested to tbe Inter
medlary that tha Standard Oil might go
to 6.
"Soon after . this message had been
delivered there arose an outcry aa to
the manner and methods of Senator
-Clark's election and plentiful evidence
was published to prove - that he had
committed the helnoua and unusual
'crime of purchasing the support of cer
tain senators and members of the Mon
tana assembly. The virtuous senate
of the United States ordered an investi
gation and Clark realised his mistake too
late. Me resigned lust In time to save
himself, from being thrown out.
"The manner of Clark's resignation
was in keeping with the methods of this
American royalty, tha royalty of dollar a.
The committee on privileges and elec
tions of the United States senate, after
an Investigation, reported that hla elec'
(Hill WAS TVlUi LI U h .41 ivnri.
was scted upon Clark replied In a speech
on May It that he had already sent his
resignation to the governor and that the
. whole Question wouia again ne suDmiuea
to the free and enlightened people of
Mentana for their deolsion. Fair enough,
as one reads it, but at. this time
Governor Smith waa absent from
Montana and the lieutenant-governor,
Sprlgga, ruled in his place. Mow. this
Sprlggs waa one of Clark's henchmen
and he Immediately appointed the cop
per king to fill the vacancy created by
hla own resignation. That very night
Governor Smith returned post haste to
Helena and at once consulted with the
attorney-general of the state aa to the
propriety of wiring the 'senate against
the acceptance of Clark'a credentials on
the ground that the appointment was
vitiated by fraud. . .
Smith Charged Conspiracy.
This Is what Smith contended That
the appointment waa the result of a con
spiracy between tbe soaof the. honora
ble senator and Lieutenant-Governor
Sprlggs; that the senator's resignation,
which bore the date of May 11. had re
ally been written in April and then In
trusted to the custody of Charles A.
Clark to await the appropriate moment
for filing. A Job had then been put up
to Invlegle Governor Smith out of the
state, whereupon 8prlggs,- having be
come executive, young Clark at once
filed the resignation, which fee had been
holding for weeks, and Sprlggs made the
appointment,
:The plot waa so obvious, so crude,
so foul-smelling that even the cour
ageous popper king, who Is certainly not
easily abashed, did not dare to present
himself before the senate to be sworn
In, but decided to take hla chances at
the next election. ,
Americans Should Blush.
"The recital of the details of this im
modest mess may well bring to the
cheeks of all American patriots tbe
blush of shame, that the Institutions
of this great country should be so be
fouled and prostituted In order that a
millionaire upstart might satisfy a vul
gar dealra to political and social promi
nence. By order of the supreme court
of Montana, Clark's counsel waa put on
trial for bribing the legislature and in
Jthe ensuing proceedings Clark'a own
methoda were exposed In tha open.
Among other facta It waa developed that
the high water mark price for a seat In
the moat expensive club in the world,
the honorable United Statea senate, bad
been touched la Montana; that Clark
had paid IS00.000 to obtain It; that SO
votes were bought at an, average price
of 110,000 each and that life dickering
for these votes waa conducted aa openly
as are the buying and selling of lean
and overfat boars and sows at a hog
mart, . '
. Staadard Oil Worn.
In due course of time electtow time
came around again, and the delectable
combination of Clark and -Heinse. again
(ought ahoulder to shoulder. In spite
of the strenuous opposition of Mr. Rog
ers, in spite of all Standard OU eould
do to defeat the outfit. It ecored an
other victory, and the copper king was
triumphantly rechoaen United States
senator.
"Before Clark presented himself for
admission to tha United Statea senate,
Rogers prevailed upon him to enter a
conference, and the two went at It ham
mer and tonga. Rogers intimated that
aa long aa tha M on tan an remained an
ally of Heinse he oould not enter the
senate, that the cards 'were stacked
again for his expulsion, and that he had
better patoh up with Standard OU be
fore it waa too late. - Clark did not be
lieve that even the master of Standard
OU oould actually "deliver" the United
States, and he bluntly told Rogera that
ha believed that he was bluffing. lie
was willing to put the threat to a teeft
lf Rogers could show him a majority
of tha United Statea senate pledged In
writing to refuse him admittance, he
would obneede defeat, drop Heinse, and
Join Standard OIL On the other hand. If
Rogers failed. Standard Oil should oease
lta opposition to his admtttanoe to the
senate. -
"In making this proposition. Clark
imagined that he had proposed sn im
possible condition on Rogers, for, at that
time, he had no conoeptlon of the im
mense power of dollar royalty. Ha did
not realise how completely and abso
lutely the ruling forcea of thia country
of oura rests In the. hands of a small
band of millionaires. Thinking that he
bad the ' great wholesaler of dollars.
Uvea , and liberties on the spit, he came
to .a halt, but his weasel eyes opened
wide when Mr., Rogera quietly but
pointedly aald: 'It's a bargain; if I don't
give you the proof, as I say, on week
from today, I will not trouble you again
In connection with our Heinse affairs."
"At the appointed time the great
manipulator of men, as calmly as though
he were exhibiting a bill of sale for a
carload of barreled petroleum, allowed
Clark to Inspect a Hat of two over a
majority of our grave and reverend
seigniors. -
"Clark delivered his goods liko the
conservative buslnesa man that he la,
and from that time until today has oc
cupied the No. 1 niche In the Heine
gallery of To Be Slaughtered.""-. - -
SENATOR CLARK STIRRED.

(looraal Special Service.)
Paris. Oct. 21. Senator William A.
Clark of Montana hasv Just arrived from
Italy, accompanied by Mrs. Clark and
tnetr'baby. Preparatory to entering a
flat they are stopping at the Hotel
Lang-ham. Asked for his opinion on
the financial situation in the United
States, the senator said: ...
"The ' Lawaon scare about frenaled
finance la about over, but the Insurance
scandala are working temporary mischief.
"These scandala certainly give some
piausiDimy to jawsons statement
Giving policy holders' money for political
campaign purpoeea is plain., palpable
robbery. There Is no getting around It
that It Is ss clear a violation of the
commandment Thou shalt not steal as
anything can be. I don't care to which
party the money Is given, the a teal la
none the leaa . helnoua The policy
holders belong to all parties and no
manager has any right to presume their
Intentions. I am not a Republican, but
I am quite sure the Republican party
does not knowingly consent to accept
for campaign purposes the hard-earned
money of insurance policy holders.
'The action of the men who controlled
or control big Insurance com pan lea is
the most cruel shock ever given to the
confidence of . the thrifty poor of
America. That these acandala should
have injured American companies In
Europe is no . wonder. I find In my
travels through tbe continent that
American' business methods are now
sneered at by Europeans. The men who
misappropriated or atole the - policy
holders' money for campaign purposes
should be prosecuted. I hope the candi
date for the city attorneyahlp of New
York will carry out his threat to prose-
cute these men'. ,

London." Oct. St. Queen Alexandra
will- play a very Important part In In
ternational politics In ths near future.
So far. bar majesty baa taken very
little Interest In the grouping of the
European powers apart from the very
natural dealra which aha entertains to
sea her relatives In power and, above
all. happily mated In fact, her Inter
est In politics has hitherto been entire
ly domestic
Since her visit to her father's home
In Copenhagen, however, the queen haa
been more influenced than aver by her
alster, the empress dowager of Rus
sia, and her majesty haa told her Inti
mate frlenda that she intenda to do all
aha can to influence King Edward In
securing aa Anglo-Buaslan rapproache
ment. -
Not that the empress dowager loves
England ;sha 41sllkes Germany and be
llevea that Russia's Interests would best
be, served ' by. an understanding with
England. '' -
The king, it la well known, has the
greatest contempt for ihe Russian form
of government "Grand dukes much the
same aa uaual T hla majeaty waa over
heard to Inquire the other day from a
friend who had Juat returned from Bt
Petersburg. r
There can be no doubt that King
George1 of Greece, who is expected to
visit London, .will also use his Influ
ence with King Edward in the same di
rection as Queen Alexandra.
Two American Duchesses. -
Although Consuelo, Duchess of Marl
borough, worked very-hard and- loyally
to Impress her friends with the charms
of the young puchess of Manchester
(nea Zimmerman), (he latter appeara to
be making very little headway, and It
looks now aa If aha would always re
main rather outside the charmed circle.
Tha young duke believes In Impress
ing -the outer world, at any rate, and
the other day hla two Hula children
traveled down in the same special train
aa that taken by the Prince of Svalea
from Scotland, where they had been
staying.
' The Prince of Wales, who, like the
king land queen, la devoted to Consuelo,
made a great fusa of tha children en
the platform at Ballator atatlon. The
youngsters were accompanied by five
nuraea and governesses and a foot
man. -' ' ' '. v
Lord Minto, tbe new viceroy of India,
also paid his- respects to the popular
duchess before he left for London to
prepare for his Indian voyage. Not
withstanding ' all the celebrities she
meets, the young duke and ducHess are
not "in the running" with the witty and
vivacious Consuelo. . '
" , Bridge BtiU ropular.
Despite the propheclea that bridge
would be golng'out shortly there la not
the slightest sign of It. Almack'a club,
which .exists solely for bridge, haa Just
opened again for the winter season and
there is to be another bridge tournament
at once, thia time on tha American
plan. .
A new faahlon at Almack'a la the giv
ing of Sunday dinner parties, but the
opening one was certainly not a suo-
cess, several of the women had the
temerity to leave after the fish course
In order to secure a bridge table, so
there Is not likely to be anything par
ticularly aoclable about this "gambling
den" as It Is called.
Mrs. "Jimmy" Brlggs has the reputa
tion of being the finest player in the
club. Her husband Is tha step-eon of
Jamea McDonald of Standard Oil fame,
and she and her partner won the hand
some prlse'offered to the wlnnera of ths
last tournament.
The king is very much displeased at
the attitude which lan Malcolm haa
adopted toward hla mother-in-law, Mr a.
Langtry. Even Lady de Bathe, mother
of Mra. Langtry's present ' husband,
sharea the king's views on this subject,
although It is well known how bitterly
she resented the marriage of her favor
ite son to the "Jersey Lily."'
Mr. Malcolm absolutely refuses, how
ever, to alter his decision and will not
even allow his wife to communicate by
letter with her mother. Mrs. Langtry,
as even her enemies admit, brought the
girl up very carefully and waa devoted
to her.
It Is said that the Lily "feels thia blow
worse than " all of the many she has
suffered
