MONTANA Is I.OYAL.
Besides being loyal to the flag and
fighting like heroes, the First Montana
regiment is also loyal to President Mc.
Kinley and the policy of the adnlulnis
tration in the Philippines. It believes,
too, that General Otis has done all that
any commander could do, and the dem
ocratic papers of this state, which have
been so quick to publish any adverse
criticisms they could gather of Pnrsi
dent McKinley and General Otis,
should print what Col. H. C. Kessler
and his officers aid menl have to say in
interviews in the Butte Inter Mountain
of last Saturday. But these denmocrntic
papers will do noithing of the kind.
They are determiuned to oppose and
misrepresent the administration, what.
ever it does. It is gratifying, however,
to be able to give the lie direct to these
false and slanderous rsports about the
incompetency of General Otis and the
policy of the administration in the
Philippines. Montaniuns will take the
word of her own people ou this subject.
Read what Col. Kessler and his officers
and men have to say:
Col. H. C. Kessler-The generals in
the field arte thoroughly competent to
crush the Filipinos but, as I stated this
afternoon, I think General Otis has too
great a burden in directing hoth the
field operations and administering in.
ternal affairs I say this in no spirit
of unfriendly criticism, for I believe
him to be a most capable commander
in either position, but combined these
seem to be physically beyond one man'R
endurance.
Major and Surgeon J. F.JAdi-nis
Uenleral Otis hirs displayed the highest
skill in the mlanagement of the c.rn.
paigu, The two big battles were plan.
ned by the commanding general and
but for tlh failure of General Wheaton
Marob 25th, at lzlonmo, to follow the
plan laid down they would have doubt.
less ended the campaign. There is not
a man in the United States army who
is better qualified to conduct both civil
and military affairs in the islands than
General Otis. There may be better
fighting generals, but there is no one
man who can attend to both ends like
he can."
First Lieutenant and Adjutant W.
B. 'Knowlton.-I think they are too
hard on General Otis. He has more
work thian three ment ought to try to do
and lie has not enough troops. I see no
ground for honest criticism.
Captain John Hallahan, Company
M.-lhe war in the Philippines is a
battle of civilisation against anarchy
and time will prove the correctness of
President McKinley's policy. In the
meantime the only thing patriotic
Americans can do is to hold up the
hands of the adnministration. The war
is certainly a just one and should be
carried to a finish. With the new regi.
meats and plenty of cavalry the rebel.
lion can soon he put down. With
plenty of men General Otis could have
finished the job long ago. With the
resources at his command I don't see
how any man could have done better.
The islands will prove it very valuable
acqluisition.

-The islands are worth holding and
should be held. I believe when the
new campaign opens with an adequate
force of men the insurrection will soon
be crushed. Only lack of troops line
prevented Otis from ending the war,
Private Elmner Greenleaf, Company

Private (4eorge D. Brown, Company
K.--We should hold the Philippines at
any cost. Nearly all the Montaun men
want to keep the islands.
Corporal B. A. Green, Company H.
I believe in flghting the rebels to a

There's noting else to do.
U IHaOLI THl IPI'IIINIlImNT.
The Nebralska republicans, in state
couventiou last IFriday, adoptent these
ringing resolutions regarding the war
in the Philippines: "While we deplore
the insurrection in the Philippine
islands, yet we recolnise the duties and
obligatious imposed upon our nlation by
the victory of our navy land the miatclh.

treaty of Paris, which imposed upon

The Massachusetts democrats held
their state convention last Thursday,
whichl almost broke up in a row, but
George Fred Williams curried the day
and is the head of the delegation to the
next national convention. The con.
gressional districts were practically
disfranchised in tie matter of electing
national convention delegates, the same
belug selected by the state central com.
mittee. But that was the only way
the delegation could be secured for
Bryan, although the row precipitated
insures ai increased majority for the
republlan presidential nominee. Mass.
achusetts is the first state lu the Union
to elect delegates to either of the na.
tioual conventions next year.
