The Anaconda Standard

The testimony of the New York Herald is that opposition to the Wilson bill on the part of democratic congressmen has been put under check and that the bill will be pushed through the house in a hurry. On most questions of public interest, the Herald is as poor newspaper authority as exists in the United States. At the same time, there is no doubt whatever that the managers of the administration are vigorously rounding up the democratic congressmen, while many of the administration organs are pushing for prompt passage of the Wilson bill, their cry being that the prevailing uncertainty respecting the intentions of the majority is doing damage to the country's industries. The proposition is to pass the bill before the end of January. That will afford scant time for protest to the interests in Montana that will suffer if the Wilson bill passes.
