Two weeks ago the Montana
Progressive referred to Senator
Oliver as "honest John Oliver',
in it's last issue it calls him trai
tor" etc. The reason for this
change of sentiment is the fact
that Mr.. Oliver, in order to break
the deadlock in the senate and so
enable it to get down to business,
voted with the republican.
1t will be we'll, in view of this
public action on the part of Mr..
Oliver and some of the criticisms
it is receiving. to inquire into the
merits of the case.
Let it be remembered first of
all that although Mr.. Oliver vot-
ed for Theodore Roc seve)t two
years ago that, like thousands
upon thousands of others. his
vote was so cast as rebuke to
the leaders of the republican par
ty at that time, and that at heart
Mr.. Oliver was still a republican.
Then, let it again be remembered,
that last fall. what little repnb)i-
can organization there was in
Fallon county was, to all lntcnts
and purposes under the direction
and control of Eddie Booth. IT
was therefore that few 50 call
ed progressives got together, or
ganized and put ticket in the
field headet by John Oliver as
candidate for State Senator. Ma
theless Mr.. Oliver was really a
republican but Of the ;tAyannnnced
progressive type. And he was
elected.
Subsequent to his election he
entered into an agreement with
the other three progressive sena,
tors e.ect to go into a caucus
with them and to abide by the
decision of that caucus; the pur-
rort of this agreement being the
conservation of good government.
Mr.. Oliver did enter into that
caucus, and he did abide by it's
decision; until, at last. in his o
pinion, as we'll as in the opinion
of many democrats and republic
cans all hope of the conser walton
of good government by cuntiru-
ing to maintain such an arbitrary
and obstinate stand was at al.
end.
Every reasonable opportunity
had been given to the democrats
and prOgresslves to unite for the
organization of the senate. and a
motion introduced by the pre-
gressive leader for AN entirely
non partisan organization was
tabled upon motion of a demo
crat. The peoples business was
being unnecessarily delayed. tht
peoples money was being un.
warratably squandered. and tn,
principles of progressivism won]t

have been trampled under foot,
if they had not already beeh. by
the legislative stagnation which
the situation had created; and
undeo these conditions Mr.. Oliver
showed himself most truly pre-
gressive by putting an end to the
stagnation and deadlock. And
the other progressive senators
showed themselves stand-p re :
rogressiyes by insisting upon
contrary course. Mr.. Oliver was
honest to his convictions. to the
principles of progressivism, and
to the interests of the people,
while the other so called pro-
gressjves" We're traitors to the
interests of the people and the
principles of progressivism by in
sisting as they were upon the
further squandering of the peo-
nle's time and money, and indie
hnitely holding up the processes
OF legislation.
1t has been stated by some
that Mr.. divers action was
caused by fear of the contest that
was brought against him TIN ough
the influence OF Eddie Booth.
That is nonsense, for there was
no direct accusation in the whole
pu,i)e complaint; it was as trum-
perry and flimsy as it could pos
sibly be, and was simply and ev-
identity but one of Eddie's big
bluffs at attempting to put one
over'. And we feel safe in stat
ing that the day of such attempts
on the part of Eddie Booth as
far as Fallon county is concerned
are over, and that in order to
n!ake a living by his peculiar. if
not questionable, methods, he
will soon have to find other pas
lures.
y'he consensus of opinion a.
mong Mr.. divers old neighbors
is that under the circumstances
he did the Wisest thing.
