Henry Lowe, the Bainville and
Culbertson Banker, and merchant
ard elevator man, who in being so
ardently supported by the Sheridan
County Bankers Association and the
Sheridan County Loyalty League,
better known as "Lunacyl League" for
State Senator from Sheridan County
On the republican ticket, along with
Jack Duggan for sheriff on the De-
lnocratic Ticket and James f. Red
n2ond for County Auditor on the
same Democratic ticket, proving that
bankers and business men can also
be nonpartisan as we'll as the farm
ers, which is so disloyal and deplor-
able on the part of the farmers, is
running on the following platform:
TO THE VOTERS OF SHERIDAN
COUNTY:
pledge myself to support our Gov
eminent and President Wilson in the
prosecution of the war to victorious
conclusion.
20 protect the people from high
prices, profteering and unnecessary
legislation.
To truly represent the people Of
Sheridan County in our Legislature.
To use my best efforts to secure a
measure requiring Insurance Com
panies doing business within this
State; to deposit with the State
Treasurer a portion of their income,
such funds to be loaned to the farm
ers at reasonable interest for the
purchase of livestock, which will ma
tcrially aid the farming interests and
commercial enterprises of our COM
monwealth.
I solicit the support of all true and
loyal Americans.
We wish to call attention to the
following plank:
ITO USE MY BEST EFFORTS
TO SECURE A MEASURE RE-
CURING INSURANCE COMPA-
MES DOING BUSINESS WITHIN
THIS STATE; TO DEPOSIT WITH
THE STATE TREASURER A POR-
TON OF THEIR INCOME. SUCH
FUND TO BE LOANED TO THE
FARMERS AT A REASONABLE
INTEREST FOR THE PURCHASE
OF LIVESTOCK, WHICH WILL
MATERIALLY AID THE FARM
ING INTEREST AND CONNER
CIAL ENTERPRISES OF OUR
COMMONWEALTH"
This man Henry Lowe imports and
sells pure bred bulls and livestock
The scheme to aid the farmers to
buy pure bred stock is laudable, but
how about the scheme of Henry
Lowe?
The Nonpartisan League nominee,
Mr.. Clair Stoner, farmer, endorsed
and supported by the farmers, whose
name is on the National ticket, will
,7ork for bill to abolish private in
Surance companies whose income
comes out Of the farmers and pro-
Gucers and have the state of Mon
lana furnish insurance to the people
IT cost, eliminating all of the fat
~rofts going to the insurance COM
panies and saving two-thirds of the
premiums how charged to the buyer
Of insurance and the farmer can do
what he wants to do with the money
saved-there will be no profits for
the state to loan at any rate of inter-
est.
Mr. Stoner will support bill to
place the banking business in the
hands of the state by providing for
rural credit banks to handle the
needs of the farmers, reducing inter-
est to about per cent on the money
leaned. This will not help the bank
crs much but will be a great boon to
the farmers.
Mr.. Lowe is banker: he will not
support any such a measure. You
cart expect it.
Mr.. Lowe also says in his plat
form: eff I am nominated and elect
ed, during my term of office | shall
consider the vote of the people for
United States Senator in Congress
az nothing more than a recommen-
dalton, which / will be at liberty to
wholly disregard if reasons for doing
so seem to me to be sufficient"
