Abstract

Politics in Montana

Levine, Louis | November 2, 1918 issue

add to cart close window

Old party lines are breaking down in the Northwest and new issues are coming to the front in Montana. The elections to be held on November 5, 1914 possesses unusual interest. Three influences promised to make the campaign in Montana exciting as well as significant. First, the NonPartisan League was to enter Montana politics for the first time. Second, the workers in Butte, exasperated by the losing of several bitter strikes, promised to support the League. These two organizations embodied the accumulated feeling of resentment against the alleged domination of State politics by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company and represented the organized demand for political and economic reform.
