For when it comes to standing for
and advocating and justifying any
and all things low and immoral; for
supporting consistently all that is
sinful and debased, inimical to the
public good or to public decency, the
editor of the "Pie-Near Press" stands
without a peer in Sheridan county or
iE eastern Montana.
We know of no greater insult that
could be heaped upon US in anyway,
than to have anything complimentary
or even reasonable said about us in
that contemplate, degenerated, de-
based, and scandalous mouthpiece of
private infamy and public indecency
and advocate and beneficiary of po-
litical brigandage, issued and passed
through the mail, under the name of
the "Pioneer" Press.
And any one favored or fawned on
by this publication must, by all
means, blush for their own honor.

However, the poster in question,
which told the voters that there is
no shortage now, did not tell the
voters that there was no shortage
then.
There is no shortage now for this
reason, J. +. Redmond came across.
Mr.. \. w. Gibson of Glasgow loaned
Mr.. Redmond enough money to make
tie shortage good and Attorney Thos.
Dignan Of Glasgow drew the mort
gage on the Redmond homestead,
which mortgage was given as a Sc
curity for the sum sufficient to cove !.
the 1892 shortage, and when the
money was paid back there was no
shortage.
Very simple, isn't it?
Now, we defy J. F. Redmond to
disprove these facts and dare the
"pungent Pie-near" to explain. or Jus
tify them.

No, Rastus, the editor of the Pro-
ducers News has never been a party
to a conspiracy to defraud Sheridan
county out of any money, and while
our middle name may be Engineer
ing), we have never yet engineered a
deal, whereby we have stolen, get us,
stolen, swindled or pilfered the tax
payers of Sheridan county or any
other county out Of twenty thousand
dollars or any other sum.

Discrediting Democracy abroad

If the people of number of
European countries such as Bulgaria
and Austria drive out their junkers
and really take control of things In
their own interests, all our kept
press will begin to howl about ter
rible Socialists, blind bolsheviki and
outrageous anarchists. For the SIM
pie truth is that our own junkers do
not want real democracy here or
abroad, and they will bring every bit
of force and lying they can against

out the giant slush funds from the
big corporations, so scared the anti
farmer gang that both Democrats
and Republicans united to fight his
candidates. He knows that this CAM
paign of his League had to meet the
terrible handicap of the false "loy-
atty" issue, intimidation, false ar
rests and mob violence. It went
through pushed by determined men
whom his SIG helped to keep going,
in spite of all the great vested int
erests could bring against it. All
that was promised was fulfilled.
Therein lies the proof that the
farmer can stick under his hat to
meet effectively all the lying and near
lies the hostile press and the old-line
politicians can bring to bear. He
doesn't have to take any ones word
for it. The kept press furnishes as
good evidence of it as the independ-
ent press. The League did not seize
the dollars and run. The farmers
throughout the state were organized,
they nominated their own men for
office for the first time in a great
many years, if ever, and there was a
campaign that scared the special in
terests from Maine to California.
Let the cid gangsters yell their heads
off against these facts to which they
are such eloquent witnesses.

The Producers News wants to call
the attention of our readers to the
time that Ben Johnson turned in GER
tain sums of money to the county
treasurer. If you will read careful
ly the report of the public examin-
er made in April, 1917, you will OBJ
serve that Mr.. Ben Johnson turned
in the fee money for December, 1916,
which amounted to the sum of ST.
1875 on February II, 1917, just
two months late. You will also or
serve that for the month of January,
1917, the fees amounted to s1,772.80;
for February, 1917, the fees were
$1,313.30; for March, 1917, the fees
were $2,300.05; and that these fees,
amounting to over $4,000 were COW
cred into the county treasurer on
April Fl, 1917, or at the time that
the public examiner made the exami-
nation of the books. The law pro-
vides that fees must be paid to the
county treasurer each month and that
they must be turned over before the
board of county commissioners pay
the salary to the officer. Here the
clerk & recorder was three months
behind and the record will show that
the salary was paid illegally at the
first of the month before the money
was turned in. We understand that
the money was paid in on April II,
1917, because the Public Examiner
upon it and rumor tells US
that the money had to be borrowed
from kind hearted friends. In view
Of the past election, this information
is very interesting.

Election

Election day is over, another mile
stone is passed. Considering every
thing, it was a glorious victory. The
odds against US was great, but the
soldiers of the soil, the believers in
justice and decency, have, every
thing considered, much to be happy
about.
The camps of Hopper" and
Booze" and reaction in general are
very discouraged.
True, owing to an unfortunate day,
the league victory was not as over
whelming as we would like to have
had it, but the will of providence
cannot be discerned.
Yet, the enemy have crowed their
last crow; they will now fight among

The campaign has been in progress for the. past three weeks and the com moitteemen have been meeting with much success. The quota which was assigned to Bessemer for this drive was over twice as large as the first and second loans, and Bessemer citizens felt little alarm at first, but they inn mediately set to work and tonight it was announced that the s26o,OOo mark had been reached and was still growing. The com mtteemen are most anxious to reach SSVo,VVo before the close of the drive.

 MT Dudley, in speaking of the far reaching benefit that will accrue from the Southern Tours, said yesterfday: What the Empire Tours did for New York and the New England Tours did for New England in the matter of good roads progress, the Southern Tours will do for this part of the country. At the start tourists will complain of bad roadbed here and there. It is the 'holler that is needed to stir up state and county authorities It will not take long to get the results that mean so much to every community traversed by tourist routes.

 'On a railway siding l noticed car containing 16 corpses These sixteen persons had taken refuge in stable. The red guards had promised them safe conduct if they would give up their arms. They did so and were shot one by one as they came out of their hiding place. As the shots failed to kill several of them. the wounded men were dragged into the waiting room of the station, where the reds murdered them with blows from the butt ends of their rifles, This station became forthwith the center of canl- paign of infamous massacre, the reds sallying forth from it for variety of murders and robberies.
 There was no plan to the action of the reds-they robbed. plundered, raped and burned for mere pleasure and lust of destruction.
