The Obama for America campaign held a press conference Monday to kick off Greater To- gether, an effort to garner support from young voters. Campaign manager and Uni- versity of Montana alumnus Jim Messina said President Barack Obama fulfilled his 2008 campaign agreements to young people. “I think the president’s done more than his campaign promises,” Messina said. “You know if there’s one thing I didn’t say to you, it’s ‘He’s done.’ Cause he’s not. There’s way more things he’s got to do.” See OBAMA, page 3

CEMETERY From page 1

Mary Gleim, known as Ma- dame of Missoula, raised her chin petulantly over her string of pearls. A reporter for the Missoulian, which was already in print back then, had called Missoula businessman Bobby Burns her “rival.” “Bobby Burns was never my rival,” she said. “I had property all over the state. I had more money than he did.” And while she said she had wrapped a buggy whip around his neck and dragged him down a street, she said she hadn’t blown up his house. “Boom!” she said. She lifted her arms into the air to illus- trate the explosion, her puffy, fuchsia sleeves that were twice as wide as her head flapped as she gestured. “The street was littered with little matchstick- sized pieces of wood.” She smiled. She was arrested and convicted, but she hired lawyers who got the case thrown out. “I got the best lawyers I could buy — I mean, find,” 1 Gleim said. However, one of the story- tellers wasn’t pretending to be someone else. Don Mormon, a retired Missoula detective, re- counted his own memories, de- tailing a trail of murders. Though Wayne Nance was never convicted, DNA evidence has linked him to six murders that occurred between 1974 and 1985. Mormon’s examples showed that the justice system still isn’t perfect, despite the in- sulation of laws that surround Missoulians today. Justice, he said, still relies on people — the people of Mis- soula, some of whose ancestors 2 told their stories. Civilization, though full of bureaucracy and regulations now, is based on the consent of the people. “Law enforcement is only as good as the information you give us,” Mormon said. “I believe in the Ben Franklin quote, ‘Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.’” 3 But as the crowds who Nick Gast/Montana Kaimin flocked to Missoula Cemetery 1) Mary Frances Clark sits on the tombstone of Clara MacLean, heard on Sunday, even the dead mother of “A River Runs Through It” author Norman MacLean. can tell their secrets — but only once a year, near Halloween. 2) Suzette Dussault talks to patrons of Stories and Stones about [email protected] Jeanette Rankin, the historical figure she portrayed.
