state that II have never defended any
one whom l believed to be guilty
This would make wooden Indian
laugh to think that Jim Wallace would
not take any kind of a case, if there
was a dollar in sight. Politics has no
place in this campaign and 1t is solely
ur to the voters of Missouia to east
their ballot for the man who they think
the best fitted for the position.
The time has come when aliens or
Others who are enemies of this coun-
try should not be handled with kid
gloves.
My position has been made clear
and on my record am willing to go TO
the polls and say, 'let the best man
win and will say in conclusion that If
elected, as l expect to be, / will have
ne enemies to punish or friends to
favor.
In conclusion let me address these
remarks to Mr.. Moore:
You say: Two years ago Houston
asked me to use the Socialist argu-
ment against his then opponent. Mr..
Kemp. which request / refused.
IIouStoH SiHCt useu every NSapoit
against me. because l refused to adopt
his code of ethics"
This is not the truth. The truth is,
You came to me and asked me what I
could do for you II l were elected
| commissioner of public safety. asked
| you what you wanted. You told me
you wanted to be chief Of police. l
told you there was nothing doing, that
| i would be the chief. OF police. You
then went back and marshalled your
cohorts. Mr.. Kemp took a lay off to
make the campaign. The Socialists
| appointed you chief Of police in Mr..
kemp's place. The fight was on and
you used the same tactics that you are
using today against me. The election
came off, and Mr.. Kemp was elected.
You served as chief Of police until Mr..
Kemp took vacation. Mr.. Kemp evil
denly didn't think you were bic
enough for the job and he had me APP
pointed, and the people OF this town
know what happened.
AS regards to Mr.. Kemp he is a
gentleman and made a clean fight two
years ago. Different with you, Mr.
Moore. You have made this the dirti-
est fight that has been fought in Mis-
| soula in many years.

Substitute soap is offered for sale
which is said to have been prepared
from the oil in berries and from pun

HOW A u. S. NAVAL AIR
MAN FELL IN BATTLE
WITH 7 GERMANS

The following has been received
from the London representative of the
Committee on Public Information:
Six weeks after Ensign Stephen
Potter. United States Naval Reserve
Force, had shot down a German sea-
plane in Helgoland Blight the enemy
got him on the North Sea. Potter was
killed on April % in a fight with seven
enemy single seaters. He was sec.
ond pilot to a British royal air force
captain. with whom he shot down a
German last March.
Battle at Close Range.
Potter left a North Sea station in a
British seaplane. steered due east un-
I'll 6 miles west-southwest of Hinder
Light. Another plane accompanied
Potter and kept position to starboard
throughout the action. Two enemy
planes were sighted to port. heading
toward them. flying low. Both Brit
lbs planes dived about 100 yards apart
closing upon the nearest German.
Fire opened from both at close range.
Potter's companion had emptied one
drum from the forward cockpit when
the gun jammed Two more hostile
planes then appeared overhead, at
lacking vigorously. Both Britons
turned to the west. pursuing one of
the lower enemy, w.o was soon lost
to view Three others passed astern
following at a sharp angle. Potter
was close above above his companion
and dove 10 winthin 100 feet of the
water
Both machines fattened out, and
Potter's companion, being faster,
throttled down until Potter came
abreast. Thus they ran westward at
full speed close together for several
minutes under continuous volleys
from the rear.
Seven Enemy Machines in Action
-Four more enemy machines now ap-
pearing Four more enemy machines
appeared in V formation. OF seven
Germans in action four were attack
ing Potter, and the others his COM

to zigzag. He first veered slightly

giles to port.
Again his companion throttled down
to let him catch UP and began climb

ed again but was then broadside to
all enemy machines and under their
fire only so feet from the water. His
companion, $50 feet above, saw Pot

down part of the way under control,
then crash on the portwing tip.
Last Seen Amid Flames.
Potter was last seen on the surface
amid flames, which turned suddenly
to a huge cloud Of smoke.

spot then Joined the other five. When
the pail had cleared not even wreck
