TABULATION OF LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS VOTING FOR CLARE IN SENATORIAL ELECTION OF 1399 ............................................... 229 imODUCÎIOK iîîD FOREWORD The accounts and fetches of Senator William Andrews Clark portray him in a very contradictory manner. As a result, it is extremely diffi­ cult to obtain a really accurate statement in regard to his true self. The sketches to he found in Progressive Men of Montana and the History of Montana, hy Helen F. Sanders, are highly eulogistic and laudatory with considerable fiction interwoven with fact. These accounts are very similar and, since Mrs. Sanders’ work was published some ten years after the other book, she no doubt relied upon the earlier work for much of her information. A few extracts will suffice to illustrate. Progressive Men of Montana says: "For all the brave men who have dared the perils of the plains and fou^t step by step for mastery and control of the territory against the alert and hostile savages, and then turned from the sanguinary battlefield to the pleasanter paths of peace and com­ mercial industry, gaining rewards in wealth and honors..., none has been more conspicuous in sunlight or shadow, peace or war, panic or prosperity, than Senator William A. Clark. "Tliat he would have developed into an able and successful attorney is without question; and instead of individually ex­ ploiting the vast enterprises with which his name is now associated, he m i^t have been now receiving retainers from similar gigantic corporations. "There is no one in the state with a higher broader sense of public duty. The services he has rendered to his party, city, state, and country may be called invaluable. Progressive Men of Montana. (Chicago, A. W. Bowen & Co., cir. 1902), pp. 1104 and 1106. i i These statements in the main are only polite fiction, or at hest gross exaggeration. It is well known that Clark never did fi^ t the Indians, even when he led the Batte Battalion in the Bez Perce war; his great bravery is highly questionable—he undoubtedly had many chances to fight in the Civil War but did not. Whether he would ever have been a great lawyer is highly iurorobable—he studied law only a short time, and very likely was far more interested in other intellectual pursuits. His great success in business does not mean necessarily that he would have been successful in almost every other field. It is probable, too, that Clark looked upon success in politics more from the standpoint of personal prestige and fame than from a sense of public duty. His "in­ valuable services" to the nation included opposition to Roosevelt's conservation policy and the Hepburn Act, because he was financially interested in both cases. Mrs. Sanders in the History of Montana makes the following statements: "A pioneer of pioneers, a man of courage and ambition, ...a citizen loyal and progressive in all things. Senator Clark has been a dominating force in the civic and industrial development and upbuilding of Montana, and for all time will the state owe him a debt of gratitude and honor.... "...in the midst of his great industrial and financial interests Mr. Clark...has not denied to the State and Nation services of a high order—services which Time is proving to have been of greater value than were shown by contemporary estim ates...Senator Clark has manifested a high stamp of civic stewardship, is admirably fortified in his opinions touching matters of governmental and economic polity, and his loyalty as a citizen and as a stalwart supporter of the cause of the Democratic Party cannot be impugned, the while i l l popular appreciation of bis public service must continue, cumulative with the passing of years."2 Mrs. Sanders slides over bis career in the Senate very nicely by sayings "Of bis service in tbe United States Senate it is not necessary to give details in tbis article, for bis record has become a very part of tbe bistory of tbat body and one wbicb redounds to bis credit and honor. Concerning tbe fact tbat tbe Senate refused to seat him because of bis questionable election to tbat body, on account of bribery, both tbe sketches of Clark in the books referred to give tbe following verbatim : "On bis application for permission to take bis seat, partisan politics again intervened, and at tbe request of tbe Republican majority in tbe Senate, tbe question of bis seating was held in abeyance. Both these texts are also exactly alike in regard to tbe opposi­ tion to him in 1900, when be was again a candidate for tbe Senate: "Certain well known and. strong corporate interests threw large sums of money into the state, ostensibly for tbe defeat of tbe Democratic state ticlcet, but in reality to defeat bis senatorial a ^ iratio n .. .immense sums were expended, tbe while there was established in Butte an extensive art plant, appar­ ently for tbe sole purpose of supplying political caricature directed against him."5 %elea f. Sanders, History of Montana. (3 Vols., Chicago, Tbe Lewis Publishing Co., 1913), II, pp. 354 and 858, ^Ibid. p. 859. Progressive Men of Montana, p. 1107. Sanders, History of Montana. II, p. 858. 5 Progressive Men of Montana, p. 1108. Sanders, History of Montana. II, p. 853. iv Concerning his generosity Mrs. Sanders says: *To many he has given a helping hand and a cheering word of encouragement. His heart has "been attuned to sympathy and tolerance, and those who know him hest are they who will most earnestly attest to this. His has heen a wonderful suc­ cess in tenç)oral affairs, hut the generous, kindly heart of the man has shown itself above all and over all his activities, with the result tliat he merits the high regard in which he is held in the state....”® Igain it is easily seen that all these remarks

For the next twelve years these political issues would provide the battleground for two men, fighting for supremacy in the state; two men having contributed considerably to the development of Montana (prior to 1889) would now subject her to twelve years of political corruption, William Andrew Clark, a migrant from Pennsylvania, craved the power which would be his if he were to become the senator from Montana.

Although every effort possible by correspondence was made in the attempt to get information on every mining company in Montana, it is possible that some companies have been overlooked. However, it is believed that this bulletin contains the names of most of the operating com- panies of the State, together with some general information on each company, and that the bulletin will serve as a valuable reference book for those interested in the mining industry.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
