Eggleston examines his career from 1889 to 1931 as associate editor, editorial 'writer and editor of the Anaconda Standard, the official spokesman for Marcus Daly in the War of the Copper Kings . It also analyzes his role as a senator in four sessions of the Montana Legislature. The study attempted to distinguish Eggleston's editorials and articles from those of other Standard editors, most notably Dr. John H. Durston. The research included a detailed study of the Standard from its first issue September 5, 1889, to its final issue; in 1931; five lengthy letters from Eggleston's 81-year-old son; interviews with per­ sons who worked with Eggleston or knew him; obituaries of Eggleston; articles about the period under study; histories of Montana; and numerous letters to learn about Eggleston's life before his arrival in M ontana. The thesis describes the similarities of Eggleston’s writings to those of Mark Twain. It explores his role in the fight over the location of the Montana capital, and it analyzes his editorials during the prolonged feud between Daly and Copper King William A. Clark. The biography serves as an informal history of the Standard, widely regarded in the late 1800s and early 1900s as one of the most technically advanced newspapers in the Far W est. PREFACE The history of the Anaconda Standard, a newspaper started by copper tycoon Marcus D aly/ is mirrored in the life of one of its original editors, Charles Hayden Eggleston. Eggleston, who came to the Standard from Syracuse, N.Y. , when the daily was eight days old, outlived the paper. His works and personality helped build the Standard into a powerful newspaper. During the Standard's early years, Eggleston served as its resident Mark Twain, creating stories about the Chinese, Indians and others of the smelter town. As Montana's political wars of the 1890s developed—between Daly and William Andrews Clark—Eggleston became a potent editorial writer and cogent paragrapher. His satire of Helena's society was a capital-fight masterpiece. After the war of the copper kings, Eggleston's columns amused readers and brightened the Sunday Standard. During World War I, he was editor and the Anaconda Com­ pany's voice in the battle against the Industrial Workers of the World and other company opponents. His later years on the Standard, seemingly in semi-retirement, were spent on historical features and editorial essays. He served two terms in the State Senate in the 1890s, pro­ moting Daly's policies at some of the stormiest legislative sessions. iii His works include interpretations of state and world events and personalities. His obituary editorial of Leo Tolstoi was a monu­ ment to Tolstoi's life and works. His poem about three-time presi­ dential candidate William Jennings Bryan depicts the euphoria of Bryan's 1897 visit to Butte. Eggleston also wrote histories of the Standard and Anaconda, both delightful, factual accounts of their beginnings. As the Standard's muscle in Montana's politics grew, so did Eggleston's role on the paper. At one time the paper had circulation points at Denver, Salt Lake City, Chicago and San Francisco and boasted a statewide circulation of about 15,000. Eggleston's reputa­ tion as a paragrapher was well established, and many considered him the nation's best. When in 1931 the Anaconda Standard folded into a four-page local section of the Butte# Montana Standard, Eggleston was the only one left of the three editors brought from Syracuse to start the paper. Dr. John H. Durston, former editor of the Syracuse Standard and for­ mer Syracuse University professor, was Daly's choice for editor in / ■ 1889. He brought Warren H. Walsworth and Eggleston, both of the Syracuse Standard staff, with him to Anaconda. Eggleston's biography is based on extensive letters from his 81-year-old son, the late Charles L. Eggleston, and information from interviews with Eggleston's associates at the Standard and others at Anaconda and Butte, articles, books, pamphlets, letters and the files iv of the Anaconda Standard. The biography attempts to describe Eggleston's life both at Syracuse and Anaconda, to credit him with writings previously anony­ mous, to recount his role in the State Senate, to portray his role on the Standard and to characterize his role in Montana history. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ........................ ii PREFACE . ................................................................................... iii Chapter I.

CHAPTER I AN EDITOR'S OBIT During the threescore and ten years that have elapsed since the first newspaper made its appearance in what is now known as the Treasure State, no writer has made the force of his personality felt to greater extent than Charles Hayden Eggleston, who for 44 years was associate editor of the Anaconda Standard and dean of the journalistic calling in Montana .1 Eggleston's death on April 28, 1933, of a kidney ailment and a general breakdown ended a tumultuous chapter in the checkered his- 9 tory of Montana journalism." Eggleston helped found the Standard, the political organ of copper magnate Marcus Daly, on September 5, 1889.

INTRODUCTION This union listing of 1,121 Montana newspapers is the fruit of a three and one half year project centered at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, and principally funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities(NEH). The project, to paraphrase from the original grant proposal, was to survey, catalog, and enter into the CONSER national serials data base via the Online Computer Library Center(OCLC) automated system the bibliographical and holdings information for all Montana newspapers held in publicly-accessible repositories in Montana, and to produce a union list of these newspapers. The project also microfilmed selected backruns in the Society's collection, and borrowed and filmed papers not previously held by the Society. The running title on this list, "Montana Historical Society Newspaper Project," is a misnomer, a happenstance of the way the list was identified in OCLC. More accurately, this was the "Montana Newspaper Project," this state's participation in the ambitious United States Newspaper Program of the Office of Preservation at NEH.
