Poinsett is compared with these it will be found there are about as many and as serious irregularities to be reckoned with elsewhere as may be found in that good county.
 Lesson of the Past.
 It is said that the newspaper cor respondent sent out to the press what purported to be the official returns from Poinsett county in which it ap peared that the majority in my favor was 671, instead of l 1,07t. This incl dent is explained by a gentleman who assumed some responsibility for it, by saying he had information that an estimate was being made of the vote in Poinsett county for the pur- pose Of ascertaining the extent that manipulation Of the election returns elsewhere should become necessary and that this deceptive report was put out for the purpose Of cireum- venting any such movement. 1t is even said that too much frankness on the part of the Poinsett county poli- ticians on a former occasion with re- spect to the vote actually cast in that county put favorite candidates of theirs at q disadvantage. Whether or not this dissimalation was justified cannot detract from the force of the actual returns made and tAe majority rigAtfally shown.

FREEZE INJURIES FRUIT.

The freeze Wednesday, night has undoubtedly damaged the fruit crop in this section, but to what extent is not known. The temperature was down to 26 yesterday morning, with the ground frozen and plenty Of ice. Some growers contend that 1o per cent of the peaches were killed. and others say not more than 25 or 50 per cent were killed. The exact ex- tent of the damage will not be known for few days. Early straw berries were also killed, but the opinion is that little damage was done to the apple crop.

will be the case under a poll tax payment made in 1913. Then, many local conditions in Poinsett county connected with the establishment of several large milling plants, are said to account for the greater part of this apparent excess vote.
 The County Ticket.
 That this vote was not fraudulent ly cast is shown by the fact that at the recent primary election the en- tire county and district tickets were voted for and shared indiseriminately in the votes cast in that county. No question was ever raised by any of those candidates who had full knowledge of local conditions that there was anything unfair in the mum Der of votes cast in that county. l venture to say that there is scarcely county in the state in which per sons were not permitted to vote who had failed to pay poll tax in 1913. Since this particular question has been raised concerning Poinsett county 1 have been advised from a dozen sources that similar condi tons exist elsewhere.
 Had Factiona Fight.
 "The failure of Mr. Hazel to sign thc official return as chairman of the Central Committee was not due to any belief on his part that the eer- tificate did not represent the vote a5 actually cast The new committee was organized before the certificate was made, and Mr Hazel was not chosen chairman upon the reorgani- zation. h the political affairs oi Poinsett county, as in many other counties, there exist faetienal diVis= ions, Mr. Hazel was not identified with the faction which was enabled to reorganize the committee. This factional division, however, did not extend to the senatorial race as all the prominent men of both factions supported me for the Senate, and l had no more loyal and effective SUD- porter than Mir. Hazel. My candidacy was the one thing upon which there was no factional division.
 There is one assuripce that 1 feel disposed to give, although deem it U be unnecessary with those who know me best have never been a party to any fraud, political or other wise, and know shall never be transaction. I believe I have been honestly nominated. If anything shall transpire hereafter to satisfy me that the apparent majority in my fa- vor has been procured by fraudulent means 1 shall be the first one to make that acknowledgment and re- fuse to become the beneficiary of it. There may have been irregularities in the conduct of the election in Poinsett county, but l do not be- lieve there has been any fraud prac- tlced in my interest.

 Whenever it is made apparent that such is the case, l shall be the first to make the acknow ledgment and to ac+ decisively. l do not in tend, however, to have my friends and supporters diseredited by the ae- cusation that they have been guilty O. fraud when the outcry is wholly unsupported by respectable testi- mony. If those who so viciously at tack the returns from Poinsett coun- ty really believe what they say, there is a way and a time to put this matter to a practical test, when an opportunity will be thus presented to look into the conditions under which the election was held in a dozen or more counties in the state.

SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Will Be Taken Up. By the State
 Committee Next Tuesday.

The senatorial contest will not be definitely settled until next Tues day when the State Committee will meet in Little Rock to canvass the returns. Marion Hazel, old chair man of the Poinsett County Commit tee. signed the official returns from that county. giving Clarke 1921 and Kirby 450. Judge Kirby will endeav- or to have the returns from that county thrown out, and failing in this is said will take the matter to the vote of Lee County cut 20 votes off Senator Clarke in that county, cutt- ing his majority in the state to 2ll. Senator Clarke issued a statement Saturday night, saving he believes he was honestly nominated and if he can be shown the contrary will refuse to accept the nomination: Fol lowing is his statement:

 Senator Glarke's statement, which discusses the situation which has aris- en and argues against the preferment of unfair charges, follows
 The circumstance that the tabula- tion of the official returns of the senatorial election at the recent pri- mary has been deferred until the II inst, when it is said that the Demo cratic State Genrtal Committee will perform that service, warrants me in making a short statement pending this action On the face of the re- turns, l am shown to have q major itv somewhat in excess of two hun dred Naturally this small majority has been great surprise to ne, but am not prepared at this time to comment on the causess of this ap- parent condition.

Poinsett county is one of the SO called river bottom counties, much interested in the leyee question: My attitude on this question, and my present relationship to the agencies through which adequate and perman- ent relief may be obtained gave to my candidacy a support among the people that was practically unani- nous, not only in Poinsett county, but in those adjoining it.

Those who have driven over
the road between Roman and
Poison say that the road after
leaving Missoula county is even
still worse than it is in this
county. The Poison people have
received about the same shabby
treatment so far as road building
is concerned as the people of this
part of Missoula county. The
Flathead board know that Poison
is merely a hamlet where a few
people live who are expected to
vote with Kalispell and pay their
money and look pleasant. That
is what those living here are
expected to do also, but while
doing part of what is expected
no one has a smile that wont
come off. It is stated that
there are places between here
and Poison where the road is
very nearly impossible.

ALLEN SLOAN SHOWS
some MAMMOTH POTATOES

The largest potatoes seen this
year are some brought in by
Allen Sloan of Sloan's Ferry.
He says they were grown on his
place on the Little Bitter Root
and the five brought in were all
from one hill. The largest
weighed 2 pounds and IA ounces
and the aggregate weight of the
five is IL 3-4 younds.
For a dry year these potatoes
are monstrous big. and besides
are of fine shape and apparently
good quality. The potato crop
this year all over the reservation,
especially where dry land farm
ing was depended upon to pro-
duce a crop, is below the aver
age considerably, and there will
be a great shortage here the
coming year.

MONTANA RAPIDLY BECOM-
ING LEADING WHEAT STATE

During the ten years ending
1913, the increase in wheat pro-
duction in the United States, as
shown by the government fig
ures, has been from 552, 600, 900
to 763, 600, 900 bushels, SO per
cent advance for the ten year
period. In 1904 Montana was
reported as raising TWO and a
half million bushels, and in 1913
tWenty-one million bushels, an
increase of over 900 per cent.
In point of quality, Montana
has shown her right to be placed
first among wheat states. Her
growers won the thousand dol
lar prize at the New York Land
show in 1911; the worlds sweep
stakes at the National Corn
show in 1913, and many other of
the pest prizes so tar offered.
The Seed exposition of the
Montana Seed Growers associ-
alton, held in Bozeman, Decem-
Der 8 to 10, is offering substan-
tial cash prizes for the leading
varieties, and a good list of spec
ial wheat premiums. The Great
Northern railway offers a silver
trophy for the best bushel of
hard wheat. Special prizes are
also offered for the prominent
varieties and for the best milling
and baking wheat exhibited.

A Square Deal .

The National Farmers Union
is demanding a square deal from
congress and state legislatures
on the marketing of farm pro-
ducts.
The federal and state govern
ments have been spending mil
lions of dollars annually in urg-
ing the farmer to increase pro-
duction, but very little attention
has been given to the marketing
side of the question.
1t is a we'll known paradox
that the larger the crop the less
the value and a stimulant to pro-
duction without corresponding
aid in marketing, loses much of
it's worth to agriculture. The
nation is fast awakening to the
fact that marketing, and not pro-
duction, is the problem of the
farmer.

BETTER GET A HERD
OF MADDENED BULLS

The Petit Parisienne prints a
story of a bull, which it says
killed Is Germans. It appears
that when the peasants in the
neighborbood of Sezanne were
warned of the approach of the
Germans they opened the gates
of the cattle pens and endeavored
to drive the cattle to a place of
safety. One enormous bull, it is
stated, becoming enraged by the
sound of the cannon fire, broke
away and charged the Germans,
who looked on in stupefaction,
believing it some trick of the
French. At the first dash the
bull gored six, throwing them
high in the air. Others shot and

however, gored IL more before
