GOVERNOR DOES
NOT APPROVE
County Division Bills Get
Ouietus from Executive.

therein the measure was known t.
have been conceived in iniquity.
But almost before the citizens o
Dawson county were awake to the con
dition, and while the senator from
Dawson, the Honorable(?) Mr.. Board
man was conveniently absent, the Wi
baux bill was pushed through the sen
ate, though Senator w. B. George o1
Yellowstone county and Senator Oar
O'Shea, ~the splendid representative OF
Carbon county in the upper house,
made valiant fight against the ac-
complishment Of what they knew to be
dirty political deal.
Thereafter the business men of Glen
dive began to get busy. Former
Representative D. J. Donohue was in
duced to neglect his medical practice
for the sake of this cause, and went
to Helena to fight the hideous political
combine which would make merchan-
disc of important Legislation in the
furtherance of it's selfish designs.
1t is, of course, admitted that all
this gave DR.. Donohue a splendid op-
portunity to play even with bunch of
political double crossers in Wibaux,
and that he was none the less enthus-
iastic in his fight because Of this fact.
But it is just as much to his credit
that he evened up few personal scores
at the same time he did good stro'.e
for this community. And his splen-
did fight in Helena will be mentioned
to his credit for many moons to come.
1t might be apt in this connection
to paraphrase the esteemed Wibaux
Pioneer, which in its last weeks is
sue voiced psalm of thanksgiving ov-
er 'tthe creation of Wibaux county,"
counted few chichens before they
were Matched, and in summing up a
spasm of eulogy fit for any edition of
Puck or Judge, said:
"Here's to Organ, Kinney and Jor
dan. May they live to hear their
children's children tell tales of the
trio who were history makers.
Yes, they were history makers"
all right. But what a history! Their
8 children even unto the third
and fourth generations, might well
blush with shame over it.
The Pioneer affectionately refers to
Jordan as ''our own progressive.
Great Scott! They can have him. He
is discredited and disowned by the
of Dawson county, and
has been read out of the party at Hell
ena.
Old timers in Helena-men who have
legislatures for years de-
clare that never before has there been
such q desperate political combination
formed push any proposition through
The assembly as was formed to force
his Wibaux bill through the house, in
he vain hope that Governor Stewart,
though backed by q strong opinion Of
Attorney General Kelly, declaring
,hese bills unconstitutional, would not
nave the courage to veto the bills when
hey reached him. That's where the
Governor fooled these poor political
prognosticators- |
It is with regret that the Monitor
to chronicle a development
which brought unnecessary stigma up
IN the Richland county proposition.
It Is generally admitted that this bill
possessed some merit, though its lines
we're not fairly drawn. But north
eastern Dawson county needs some
form Of county division in the not far
distant future.
But the regrettable incident here il
hat Representative Kemmis did not
naye the nerve to stand for q
