he sent to his own paper, the Tribune,
and the other corporation papers that
he represented, was always in the in
terest of the "Kopper Kompany." HIS
newspapers have always been friend
ly to these interests.
Harry Mitchell is now being SUP
ported by every big business paper
in this district. This fact alone
should be enough to decide anyone
not in sympathy with the profteers.
We are informed through w. G.
T. u. and Anti-Saloon League sour
ces, that Harry Mitchell has always
been an ardent champion of the IL
quor interests.
Mitchell ran for congress last cleo
ton, and in democratic year ran
away behind his ticket both in his
home county and throughout the
state generally, and was defeated by
Miss Jeanette Rankin for congress
on the republican ticket, while his
running mate, Congressman Evans
was elected in the same district, both
congressman, running at large, by a
large majority.
Riddick is very popular in his
home county among the farmers. It
always speaks well for a man when
he is well thought of among his own
neighbors. Last year, in a democrat
ic county, in race for county asses
sor, he ran 5000 votes ahead of his
ticket and was elected by big ma
jority, receiving the farmer vote solid.
In another column, in a political
ad, you can read what his neighbor
farmers have to say about him, most
all of which farmers are members of
the Nonpartisan league.
Carl Riddick is right on prohibition.
He is farmer and will probably
be right on all measures in interest
of agriculture.
He is opposed by the big interest.
This makes him the "best bet"

belief of many that the opportunity
for war service to the army is great
er in the Red Cross than in the Army
itself. This opportunity to serve the
country was and is, open to Mrs. Bos-
wick. and there was nothing in this
world to prevent her from placing
her services upon the altar Of her
country. She has no children to de-
tain her; she has no home to take
care of: in fact she boards and is, we
understand, not even taxpayer in
the county. What was to prevent
her from making deeds measure up
to words in her protestaton of de-
votion.
In this state female has every
right possessed by a male citizen.
When it comes to devotion to "Old
Glory" and the needs Of country in
this critical hour, should there be any
distinction of sex. Besides Mrs. Bos-
wick and her over-enthusiastic
friends have raised the point in re-
gard to Rex Moyius. Let Mrs. Bos-
wick remove the "beam" from her
own eye before she tries to pluck it
from the eye of another.
And, besides, we are told, that
Mrs. Boswick was approached in re-
gard to services in the Red Cross, and
that she declined the opportunity to

IN an article boosting Mrs. Ella Bos-

The Religious Issue

itself is absurd. Let the farmers and
laborers avoid it.
The facts of the case are these:
Senator Walsh is an Irishman and a
member of the Roman Catholic
church; Doctor Landstrum is thir-
ty-third degree Mason, the highest
degree possible, and his wife and
children are also members of the Ro-
man Catholic church. Senator Walsh,
who has been relatively free from
"Kopper" control, surrendered abso-
lutely to "Kopper" last week when
he threw down his United States Dis
trict Attorney, B. K. Wheeler of
Butte. In return for the scalp of B.
K. Wheeler, "Kopper" has promised
to play neutral in the campaign be-
tween Landstrurn and Walsh,
throwing if anything the weight of
their influence towards Walsh. How
ever "Kopper" owns both Walsh and
Landstrum, at the present writing,
and the only Menace" to "Kopper'
is Miss Jeanette Rankin, the FARM
er-labor candidate on the National
ticket. Miss Rankin. must be defeat
ed by either Walsh or Landstrum,
preferably Walsh.
1t does not take an extraordinary
intellect to see through this punch
and Judy" political show.
Our readers will now notice that
all of the papers will talk of nothing
else between now and election. The
game will be to persuade Catholics
to vote for Walsh and Protestants to
vote for Landstrum, either of which
will be a vote for "Kopper" and Miss
Rankin will be forgotten in the fake
rumpus.
Let the farmers and laborers keep
right ahead in their support of Miss
Jeanette Rankin, who has now the
best chance of being elected, hold
steadfast in their support of the
league candidates., both catholic and
protestant members alike, making
sure of the triumph of the league pro-
gram and better conditions for the
farmers and laborers throughout the
state, remembering that all men are
brothers and that all blood is red, and
that the gang who robs and exploits
the protestant by the same token,
robs and exploits the catholic.
When you haul your grain to the
elevator, you are not asked whether
You are catholic or protestant or
heather, you are all locked just
alike: at the bank you pay the same
interest: at the grocery you pay the
same prices; when the cold north
wind blows, it blows as cold on
catholic as it does no a methodist.
and a hungry catholic is just as
hungry as a hungry presbyterian.
Better conditions for catholics
means better conditions for protest
ants, and visa versa.
Don't fall for this bunk again.
Pass it up like hungry pussy cat
does hot soap.
It's poison to all aspirations of
democracy and brotherhood of man.

a county officer. He was deferred to
class 2, by reason of the fact that he
is a married man and he was marriaT
long before the war began.
A few more facts will be just as
interesting: Mrs. Ella Boswick, who
is making a loyalty and patriotic
campaign, is very capable lady with
absolutely no home ties. Our Red
Cross has been calling for nurses;
Mrs. Boswick having the patriotic
feelings that she has, could have
served her country no more nobIy
than by joining the forces Of the Red
Gross ms nurse: in fact, it is the
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1918-10-25

For once, the Producers News finds
itself in complete accord with most
of the "kept" press of Sheridan
county.
The Producers News has just the
same feeling in regard to the relig-
ious issue as it has towards the fake
loyalty issue.
When a political scoundrel is
pushed to the last ditch and has
nothing else to recommend him or is
in a position where he cannot defend
his record, he invariably wraps him
self in the folds of "old glory" and
talks patriotism in the hopes of get
ting "by-" When it happens that the
time has come when the people are
considering real issues on their mer-
it, the lackeys of big business comes
along and starts runnpus about re-
ligion, in order to get the people
fighting about something that oas no
merit one way or :fc other, in the
hopes of attracting attention away
from the real issues to the bogus
quarrel.
The idea is to get the workers and
producers divided.
Religion has always been fruitful
field of discord. The plunderbund has
made this "gag" work so successful
ly and so often, that it is not in the
least surprising, that ''kopper" should
turn to it now in their extremity.
The issue is ridiculous. All leag-
uers should avoid it like poison. IL
members of the League fall for this
discussion, the league is defeated.
Gov. Stewart was not sincere IN
injecting the religious issue into the
campaign. 1t was done as a trick in
order to create dissension in the
ranks of the League and the orga-
nized farmers. 1t was done to at
tract attention away from Miss jean
nette Rankin's candidacy for the
United States Senate.
Miss Rankin's prospects for cleo
ton are very bright. The campaign
Of SANDER against her has failed. Dr.
rect attack upon her makes votes for
her; to discuss her record would be
to elect her.
The patriotic and loyalty issue has
failed: now "kopper" in frantic eff
fort to save the day for the Hopper
krowd" has called upon their "man"
in the governors chair to disgrace the
state and himself in a frantic effort
to get the farmers and labor into 4
futile wrangle over a religion.
Note how it is done. The Governor
made the Bozeman speech raising the
issue and the press is in possession
of the proof of the speech even before
he speech is delivered. The Landstrum
forces have their answer in the hands
of the printers also before the speech
is delivered. The order goes forth
from the "Kopper" headquarters and
the mock battle begins: for a mock
battle is all that the discussion and
issue is; an issue to create dissension
among the ranks of the common peo-
pie, dissension over an issue that in

Senatorial Contest

At last the county 'kept" press
have received the proper inspiration
or more accurately speaking, "kop-
per- has shelled out some of their
surplus mazuma, derived from pro-
fiteering in copper, during these cri-
teal war times, and are now trying
to say something in the favor of Hen
nv Lowe for state senator from Sheri-
dan county, so it seems.
This press tells us that Henry
Lowe is a mighty nice man. That
he is a real "honest-to-God" farmer,
although he is very heavily interest
ed in banking and own interests n
several elevators and a mercantile
establishment at Culbertson.
This press tells US the farmers
ought to vote for Lowe because he is
a "good fellow" and a prosperous
man and because he knows what the
farmers want.
Yes, we admit, that Banker Lowe
is perfectly lovely" man. So are
his running mates on the Sheridan
county loyalty league ticket, Mr.. Jack
Duggan, democratic candidate for
sheriff, and Mr.. J. F. Redmond, de-
mocratic candidate for county audi
tor. All of these fellows are nice,
too nice to do anything for the farm
er.
Should the farmers vote for Bank
er Lowe, who is the candidate of
Hopper" and the Sheridan, County
Bankers Association, and the choice
collection of citizens known as the
Sheridan County Loyalty League"
just because he is a nice fellow o.:
because he is prosperous?
The opposition would have it ap-
pear that the farmers have some
thing personal against Lowe because
he imports and sells bulls or because
he is a banker, or because he has
made wad of money in the elevator
business.
We are all glad that Banker Lowe
is prosperous, and we are not envious
of him in the least. The Producers
News have published certain facts
about the Bainville and Culbertson
banker, in order that the people
might know who Hopper" and "Big
Biz" are supporting so ardently for
the office of state senator.
The fact that Banker Lowe is a
nice or a disagreeable fellow, is of
no consequence in itself.
They are all "good fellows"
The thing that the farmers are in
terested in is what the candidates
stand for: what they are going to do
should they get into Office.
What will Banker Lowe do if he
gets to the legislature? Will he sup
port the League program? Will he
work for Legislation beneficial to the
farmers?
Who will he organize with? With
the boys supporting the league pro-
gram or with the "Kopper Krowd?"
There is but one answer. Banker
Lowe will organize with the "Kopper
Krowd" He is the "Kopper" candi-
date
Now, what is Banker loves plat
form? He says that he will oppose
any unnecessary legislation. He has
not told us what he considers neces-
sary or unnecessary legislation. We
know that he considers the league
program unnecessary legislation.
In other words, Banker Lowe,
though "good fellow" is an abso-
Lutte enemy of the Farmers Nonpar-
tisan League and the League pro-
gram.
It is easy to understand why all of
the bankers and "kopper" and the
enemies of the league should vote for
Lowe, whose interests he represents
and will defend in the legislature if
such an unfortunate thing as his
election should occur.
