Watson Latest Political Crookedness

No more than the leopard can change its spots
can Jim Watson shed his Unborn propensity to
political crookedness. This man who was defeat
ed in the recent primary by Harry New for the
Republican nomination for senator, issued a
statement this morning declaring he would be a
candidate before the Republican convention for
the office He bases his moral right to take this
action upon the unique reason that he would
have beaten Mr.. New in the primary, but for the
latter's vote in Marion county.
Yesterday Watson asked Linus Meredith,
who was his local manager in the primary cam
paign, to line up Wayne county's delegates to the
Republican convention, for his new candidacy.
1t is very much to the credit Of Mr.. Meredith
that he refused pointblank to be a party to such
crookedness and told Watson that abiding by the
unmistakable choice of the primary he, Meredith,
was for Mr.. New.
Watson's action and his sophistical reasoning
are nauseating to all normal and straight-thnk-
ing people. Progressive republicans are not sur
prised, however. They well remember the po-
ltical crookedness of this man both before and at
the Republican national convention of 1912.

Is This Preparedness?

Suppose Germany had landed an expedition
on the east coast and raiding cavalry had made
an attack on an American camp, such as Villa
made at Columbus, N. NJ, what would have been
the result with American machine guns working
as they did on the Mexican border?
Read this press dispatch for the answer:
"How Villa managed to cross the border which
is supposed to be Closely patrolled, without caus-
ing an alarm remains mystery. He not only
got swiftly and silently across but he made his
way to the north of the town before turning to
the attack.
HE robbed the bank and looted and burned
a hotel, the custom house, and number of stores
before the American soldiers got into action.
Then he charged through the camp in an effort
to run off the cavalry horses. But by this time
the fire of the American troopers had become
deadly and Villas men fled across the border
The three machine guns of the American force
gave fine illustration of unpreparedness. All
three went out of commission after the first few
shots. Before blowing up, one fired five shots.
another eight, and the third, eleven .. 49,.

Margaret's father was a rich man
and while most little girls would have
thought 1t very nice to always ride
in big auto with two men on the
front seat and never have to walk
anywhere or ride in the street cars,
this did not appeal to Margaret in
the least.
When her mother was shopping in
the stores Margaret sometimes went
without her nurse and sat In the ma.
chine until she came out.
The street cars with the people get
ting out and in looked most fascin-
ating to Margaret. and she used to
wish her father would buy one, for
she felt sure 1t was much nicer to
zee In one Of those than in their own
car.
Couldn't you buy street car" she
asked her father one day. "They hold
lot more people than our car and
they have such a good time"
Her father laughed and told her she
should be thankful she did not have
TO get into the crowded cars but had
one all to herself.
Margaret did not talk any more, but
she made up her mind that when the
chance came she would ride on one.
Not long after this she was left in
the car while her mother went into
one of the shops, and when the chauf-
feur and the footman were busy talk
ing Margaret slipped out of the car
and went around the corner.
There she stood until an electric car
stopped to take on number of pas
sengers and Margaret went along with
them.
She was really in street car and
would have ride with the rest of the
people. A kind lady put her on the
seat. and when the conductor came
through for the fares Margaret was
so small she was not asked for hers,

LYRIC.

LYRIC.
The old songs have an irresistible
appeal to all of us. No heart is so
hardened but that it isn't open to the
charm of the melodies of long ago.
Music has the power to sooth, to en-
rage, to even change the course of
a life. This is admirably illustrated
in Saved by Song" at the Lyric
tonight, Rex two-reel drama, written
by Edgar Wilson Nye, in which Ben
Wilson plays the leading role.
Saved by Song" tells how a
young farmer boy is railroaded to the
prison for crime he did not commit,
of his struggle upon release from
prison to "go straight and of his
final regeneration just as he is on the
point of taking up the life for which
his association with criminals in
prison has fitted him. The first scenes
of the photoplay are laid in the prison
and its surroundings.

of lawlessness which Judge Utter says
exists in his district. The records
of his district contain large number
of cases of this character, crimes un-
punished because the court erroneous
ly instructed the jury. The people
are told by the court that human
blood may be shed for slight tres
pass to real or personal property. Do
you wonder that there have been only
Ia murder cases in Sheridan county
under such rule? Do you feel that
your life is perfectly safe under such
conditions? If Judge Utter is elect
ed he will conduct his court in the
future as he has in the past"
If you believe in the enforcement of
law as defined by the statutes and

IL. That he has been conducting
a saloon campaign until two weeks ago
and is now advocating prohibition in
an attempt to win votes and without
any idea of being for prohibition in
fact.
13. That he has become so bitter
against the great majority of women
and men in the district who are op-
posing him that his sole idea on the
bench will be to "get even" with them
and for that purpose will use all the
power of his court.
IA. That at great expense other
Judges are required to come into this
district to do his work.
Is. That his campaign OF abuse
threats, villifcation, deals and mlsre-
presentation has brought his court
into disrepute and to restore it in the
confidence of the people he should be
defeated.
These facts are proved either by his
conduct in court records. While it
has not been a pleasant task and at
the risk of grand jury investiga-
ton, we have tried to let the people
know. Miss Rankin is right in her
fight for that principle. Judge Utter
is wrong in opposing it. If you be-
leve in letting the people know the
facts about public official without
fear of the threats of the official to
get even, or to call a grand jury, you
will vote against Judge Utter.

exercised in this respect. One Of
the principal Offices is that of district

1t is the opinion of this paper that
in public Office one goood term de-
serves another and this should be ap-
piled to all Valley county Office hold
ers. The present incumbents have
performed their duties with as mech
efficiency as could be asked for. They
are thoroughly acquainted with the
work of the different offices and are
therefore much better qualified than
new men would be. We may have
a few exceptions to this rule as you
have noticed from time to time. We
do no favor the reelection of Judge

al of his books will prove the libelous

deemed from democratic mirole.
There is nothing other than rank
apathy that can defeat the republi-
can party in Montana this year, and
apathy can only come through over
confidence. Thoughtful republicans.
who have weighed the political chanc-
es, and have closely watched the trend
of political events, can see no possi-
bilty for the loss of this state. They
clearly recognize that it was only
through an unfortunate split in the
republican party that the democracy
ever got control in the Treasure State.
There is today not suspicion of in
harmony within the republican ranks.
The progressives who four years ago
followed Roosevelt, are today work
ing enthusiastically for the success
of the republican party in state and
nation, and the reunited republicanism
of Montana will cast a vote far in ex-
cess Of that Of the democrats. ":
1t might be we'll to remember that
victory is not achieved until the close
of the battle, and that it is never wise
to rest at ease within ones tent, al
lowing ithers to do the fighting, be-
cause we might believe that the ene-
my can be easily overthrown. Eternal
vigilance with every man doing his
duty is the price that must be paid
for conslusive victory.
There is no reason why republicans
should not elect their ticket from top
to bottom, but if they expect to do so
they must expect to fight from now
until the polls close in November.
A good starter for a magnificent
victory for republicanism is the selec-
tion by the people of ticket that they
will be more than glad to support, and
the way to select such a ticket is by
participation in the nominating prim-
aries. Cast your vote for the men
of your choice at the coming primary
election, August 10Th, and then, hav-
ing nominated your ticket, take off
your coat and fight for it with just
as much vim as though you were lead
ing a forlorn hope. If you will do
this, there can be no question of your
success next November.

er felt kindly towards me since the
time I called the commissioners at

cause he cannot handle them for his
own personal ends.
The State Examiner made a thor
ough examination Of this Office but a
short time ago, checked every bill al

make one correction, making the fol-
lowing statement:
"The Books of the Clerk and Re-

neatly"

UTTER'S LAW OF MURDER

When Judge Utter has to use the
IA murder cases in Sheridan county
and the calling of grand juries as po-
litical issues to conceal his record for
suuandering the taxpayers money, he
virtually admits that the law has not
been enforced in this district. His
charge that Sheridan county is a law
less community is false. Sheridan
county has thousands of splendid wom-
en- and men, peers in good citizenship
of any part of the world. To char
acterize them as lawless is unwar-
ranted.
1t is not surprising that many mur-
ders are committed in this district.
The county attorneys complain that
Judge Utter always tries a case so
that the defendant will be acquitted.
When conviction is secured the de-
| fendant is usually paroled, as was
George Hibben, so that he can again
become menace to the community,
or the court usually finds some pre-
tended technicality upon which to
turn the defendant loose without a
trial, as was the case of the two de-
PENDANTS charged with robbing a way
farer, but who had committed crimes
in Great Falls and after Judge Utter
turned them loose We're taken there
for trial and convicted.
In the Neuser murder case in Sher-
idan county, Judge Utter told the jury
that defendant was justified in US
ing force and violence to the extent
of taking human life, if necessary, "in
preventing or attempting to prevent
a trespass or other unlawful inter
ference with real or personal proper
ty in his possession" What does
this mean? You are the owner of
real estate. A takes possession of
it. B walks across it, trampng dowr
the weeds, A orders him off but he
does not obey the order. to prevent
further trespass kills A. Judge Ut.
ter says that is not murder, he saws
b should be acquitted. What do yor
think about it?
Another illustration: You loan
your neighbor a pitchfork. Som,
days later you send another neigh
Dor for it. He gets possession of il
and will not upon demand give it u1
to the neighbor to whom you Loaned
it. That neighbor, to prevent tn,
taking of the pitchfork back to you
shoots and kills the person you SEN
for the pitchfork. Utter says tina
is not murder. What does your com
mon sense tell you?
The Supreme Court, many years ago
said:
ut is well settled that bare tres
, pass against the property of anothe
is not sufficient provocation to war
rant the owner in using deadly wea
pom in its defense, and if he does S,
and with it kill the trespasser, it will
be murder"
Such erroneous instructions to iur
les resulting in miscarriage of jus
: tlce easily account for the condition
