AS citizens interested in the we'll
fare of our community, we are now
studying the various candidates and
learning something about them so
that W. may intelligently exercise
our suffrage on November 7th.
In the June primaries the republi-
cans spoke as to our choice for the
legislative candidates by selecting
three on the ticket, two of whom, C.
C. Turner and H. J.. Blanchard,
served us in the past, and the third,
H. A. Mackoff Of Belfield.
If you have met and become ac-
quainted with Mr.. Mackoff we feel
confident that he would need no word
of particular praise at our hands
to induce the intelligent voter to sup
port him. He is a good, clean, consci-
entious and alert young man, residing
at Belfield for the past four years,
where he is engaged in the practice
of law. He has lived in this state
for nine years and graduated from
our state university. He formerly re-
sided in New York, where he attended
New York City college. In the nine
years he has been in this state he
became thoroughly acquainted with
conditions here and especially in the
Slope country and a man of his kind
and calibrc would do credit to our
district.
This is the first time Mr.. Mackoff
has asked for any public office and
he is not Of the politician type, but
just a plain, ordinary, every day man,
seeking to deal justly with his fellow
man, whether it be in business or
politics, and if you, Mr.. Voter, are in
tcrested in clean government; if you
desire to be dealt with justly,
whether you be 4 farmer, business
mar or laborer; if you desire a repre-
sentative who will represent your in
t~erests in an honest, able and efficient
manner, we would suggest that you
make it your business to make in
quiry about Mr.. Mackoff of those
who know him and when you do that
or if you know him personally we are
assured that he we'll be one of our
three representatives from this dis
trict in our next Legislature. W.
gave him second highest place among
the five running in the primaries, sc
let us give him a like, if not a better
place in the election on November 18th

Below appear a number of reasons
why Senator P. J. McCumber should
be elected to serve another term in
the United States Senate:
He is one of the hard working SEN
ators and attends most faithfully to
his official duties.
He is recognized as one of the
strong men of the Senate.
He is a senator who has the cour-
age of his convictions and his every
act has been in accordance with what
he has believed to be right and for
the best interests of the state and
nation.
He has declared himself on every
great public question and every citi-
e knows or can readily obtain his
record and views on such questions.
He has persistently advocated leg
islation in the interests of the
farmers of the country, and has just
as persistently denounced and shown
up all sham pretenses that have
been offered to them.

lection to wheat and other grains

YELLOWSTONE PARK
ATTENDANCE RECORD

Figures just compiled by govern
ment employees at Fort Yellowstone
show that 1858 Yellowstone Nation
al Park visitors passed through the
Gardiner gateway during 1916. This
was the only entrance to show a gain
yer the preceding year.
According to these records nearly
as many tourists entered the Park
through Gardiner as through all of
the other gateways combined. Tour
lists, going via Gardiner, believe they
see the most picturesque scenery as

Following is a brief summary of

iOllo"IitS 10 a OiASA ooAAAi ~
his activities in the state legislature,
during his incumbrency of Office:
He was one of the hardest workers
for and assisted materially in thepas-
sage of the Absent Voters Law, one
Of the most important election laws
enacted in recent years.
He supported each and every good
interest rate from II to 10 per cent,
and from 7 to 6 per cent.
He supported all rural school bills,
roads bill at both sessions of the leg
islaturc.
He supported all bills providing for
in fact every measure that made for
better country and city schools.
He supported all bills providing for
and indcmnifying owners of animals
killed for CHAMBERS or tuberculosis,
and in the 1915 session introduced and
! secured the passage of the Dourine
bill.
He diligently worked for and assist
CN III passing INC fdfll improvement
Tax Exemption bill that was passed
by the house, but later killed in the
Senate.
He supported and helped to pass
Senate Bill No. 92 Of the Session of
1915, providing for Rural Farm Cred
it's. This is one of the most import
ant bills ever enacted in the interest
of the farmer. This bill must, ac-
cording to law, again be referred to
the next Legislative assembly, and
Mr.. Turner should be returned to as
sist in it's second passage.
He also took a prominent part in
the passage of the Compulsory Hail
Insurance Bill, also to be re-referred
at the next session.
Mr.. Turner is a farmer, this year
farming HOO acres Of land. He
knows the needs of the farmer and
the stock raiser because he is m
himself, and the Press believes that
his reelection is practically assured.

UNDERTAKING

When a candidate in seeking public
office, circulates malicious and will
full lies about his opponent or allows
any of his supporters to do so, both
he and his supporters show their de-
generated qualities and by their acts
become unworthy of the support of
any voter.
We do not consider an attack upon
a mans past political and public life,
dirty politics or undertaking, when
the true facts in the case are told.
A mans public record is an open
book and when he seeks reelection
he either uses his past record as a
stepping stone for reelection or he
sincerely hopes that neither his op-
ponent, or opponents supporters, will
dig up and show the people his past
record.

GAVE MANY NAMES.
Perhaps Because He Was Dosed with
Veronal.

Burlington, April 25.-A man who has
been known in this vicinity as White,
and who has claimed when visiting here
before that he had charge of men who
were in the business of taking orders
for enlarging pictures, was found at the
Union station yesterday morning in a
semi-eonscious condition, the result Of
taking an overdose of veronal which is
used to some extent as a sleeping po-
ton He was in a bad condition when
the police ambulance was telephoned for
and was taken TO the police Office, where
DIR. +, W. Bayles attended him. Later
he was taken to Pitchers hotel, where it
will take two or three days for him TO
sleep off the effects OF the drug.
White seemed partially to realize what
was going on about him and at first said
his name was l.. j. White. later l.. j.
Meek, later L. S. White and later L. 5.
Meek Finally he said his name was
Swartz. In his rambling talk be told the
police that he had taken numerous tab
lets Of veronal which when figured up
were found to have contained Is grains
of that drug. Neronal is not included in
the federal law which prohibits sale of
morphine, opium. cocaine, etc. The man
appeared to realize his condition and had
attempted to walk it off. He telegraphed
to his sister for money and an order
was received at the Western Union Office
for twenty dollarc.
lie was dressed fairly well and had
with him two suit cases in which were
other clothes. He gave his home as
Conn. and said that that
was where he bought the .aronal. He
also claimed to have had about iifty dol
lars taken from him while on the way
here. but his condition would not war
rant that he knew what lie was talking

SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED.
In Strike Riot at East Pittsburg-Two
Men Injured.

Pittsburg. April rs. The first serious
rioting in the strike of 1900 employees
of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring company in East Pittsbtlrg oc-
cured last night. Several shots were
fired and an unidentified striker and a
detective were injured. The trouble was
the climax Of a day OF disorder during
which deputy sfieriifs and railroad de-
tectives frequently used their clubs.
Fifteen hundred strikers were return
ing to East Pittsburg after breaking up
a meeting Of shell makers in Wilmerd-
ing, an adjoining borough, when the clash
last night occurred. When the marchers
reached the Gable avenue bridge at the
Westinghouse plant the strikers, it Is
claimed, charged past deputy sheriffs and
mill guards stationed at that point and
started across the bridge towards the
plant.
Unable to check hesush, the guards
grabbed riot guns from a shed on the
bridge, but this failed to intimidate the
strikers In the fight that followed one
of the guards discharged a revolver.
As the strikers neared the plant,
guards turned stream of hot water
from FIRE hose on them. The strikers
rctreated throwing stones as they ran.
The strikers were finally compelled to
scatter and order was restored.
In Wilmerding late yesterday strikers
broke down the doors and foreibly en-
tered building in which 1900 shell max
ers were holding meeting The strik
ers appeared just as resolution was
about TO be adopted, il is claimed, pro
yiding for the men TO return to work
to-day. The strikers overpowered the
leaders and threw them out OF the build
ing and then held meeting of their
own. presided over by j. H. Hall, whose
discharge is said to have been the indi.
rect cause of the strike.
