Magliinls Untied States senator to suc
ceed William A. Claik.
Maginnls represented Montana in
congress In the early days of the terri
tory. He is not allied with eithordeiri-
ocratlc factions and has always been
a strong party man.
Governor Smith says that the resig
nation of Senator Clark was written In
April and that the date tliat It now
bears , May 11 , wan the result of the
cniHUie of the original date , which can
easily bo proved by examination of the
dorumcnt. Ho also alleges that the
H flgnatlon was In the- possession of
Charles' A. Clark , son of the senator ,
for several weeks.
In carrying out the plot , it la charged
mlsropi osentution and otlicr dcvloun
methods were used to get the governor
out of the state.
Governor Smith today sent dis
patches from Buttp to senator W. A.
Chirk. Senator Chandler , chairman of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions , and Senator Frye , president of
the senate , saying he had disregarded
and revoked the action of lieutenant
Governor Sprlggs in naming Clark to
succeed to the vacancy by hla own res
ignation , and saying he had named
Muiiln Maginnls of Helena to fill the
vacancy. The dispatches are practi
cally the same , that to Clark reading :
"I have this day disregarded and re
voked your appointment as United
States senator made by Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs on the loth Inst. , as
being tainted with collusion and fraud ,
and have this day appointed Martin
Maginnls to fill the vacancy caused by
your resignation. "
"I shall prove by my conduct In the
future , " he concluded , "that 1 was not
guilty of any wrongdoing or any idea
of wrong. "

"Hon. W. 13. Chandler , Washington :
I desire to present in as forcible a. man
ner as possible my protest against the
course pursued by Hon. W. A. Clark in
attempting to defeat the action of the
senate of the United States upon the
resolution presented by the committee
on privileges and' elections affecting
his title to a seat and to protest against
the methods pursued by him in se
curing an appointment at the hands
of the lieutenant governor during my
absence from the state under circum
stances and .conditions . which to , my
mind indicate collusion and fraud.
"His conduct In attempting a resig
nation and procuring a reappointmcnt
under the conditions as he did. If the
matter was before a court of Justice ,
would have been considered a contempt
of court on his part. I. therefore ,
trust 4hat the committee and the sen
ate will proceed to a proper and com
plete consideration of the question , so
that the rights , not only of Mr. Clark' ,
but of the state of Montana , in the
premises may be determined , and that
upon the presentation of his credentials
of appointment by the lieutenant gov
ernor the same be transferred to the
cqmmittcc on privileges and elections
for Investigation , and that I bo per
mitted to make a more complete and
detailed statement of facts concerning
the resignation and appointment of Mr.

A Hunger In Schoolroom * nnd How to
I'rovrnt It.
Owing to the gathering of so many
different classes of persons therein ,
the interior walls of churches , schoolhouses -
houses , hospitals , etc. , are apt to be
come repositories of disease germs un
less preventive measures arc taken.
These walls should always be coated
with a clean and pure cement , such
as Alabastlne , which is disinfectant In
jts nature and more convenient to re
new and retlnt than any other wall
coating. The first cost Is no greater
than for Inferior work , while re
newals are more easily and cheaply
made.
