- Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between businessman and politician William Andrews Clark and businessman Marcus Daly. Particular focus is given to Daly's possible involvement in defeating Clark's campaigns for legislative office. In explaining the feud between the two men, the author cites their rival copper mining businesses and ethnic tensions between the Irish Catholic Clark, the Scotch-Irish Presbyterian Daly, and their employees. Details on the legal dispute between Clark and the Amalgamated Copper Company, to whom Daly had sold his business, as well as its economic effects on the state of Montana, are also presented.
