it seems to whine. It tries to excuse
itself for a piece of dirty politics by
saying that Poplar had promised
and made a covenant to place the
temporary county seat at Mondak.
Did not Poplar do that very thing :!
Surely Poplar made no agreement
with Frank Weinrich to defy the law
that provides a way to put this mat
ter to vote; surely Poplar is in no
friendly treaty with Frank Weinrich
to override the desire Of the people
who had nothing to do with the So
called agreement.
And Poplar is playing a fools
game when she sticks to an agree
ment that benefits no one but Wein-
rich and that Injuries the chances OF
Poplar.
The people want a chance to vote
on the Roosevelt county seat pro-
position, and it is up to Patch as a
man to vote with Anderson to call
the election as the law provides, and
settle the matter as soon as possible.
The election will be called any
way, in spite of all that Frank Vein
rich can do, and Poplar will have a
fat chance to win, after it has pulled
chestnuts for Frank Weinrich.
The Poplar Standard owes it to its
own town and community to come
clean and play tine game like sports
and not like "pikers."
The following articles clipped from
the Poplar Standard and other
Roosevelt county papers indicate how
folks are feeling:

| STANDARD SAYS TRIBUNE
is RIGHT ON THE JOB


Froid Tribune: In last weeks is
sue of the Poplar Standard the
brainy editor says the Froid Tribune
handed out the news regarding the
turning down of the Froid county
seat petition in advancee,ef the time
the deed was actually done. For the
benefit of the Standard editor we call
his attention to the fact that the
county commissioners of Roosevelt
county met on, Wednesday, the 28th
day Of May in special session at Mon
dak and at that time declared their
intentions of turning down the petit
ton on the grounds of what they
considered an insufficient number of
bona fire signatures, contending that
in many cases the signatures did not
correspond with the registration list.
The commissioners finally consented
to take a trip over to Plentywood to
check the names, and after doing so,
cut off enough names to throw out
the petition. Froid was given to I'M
derstand that the petition would get
the axe regardless of whether or not
things were found regular, and the
trip to Plentywood was agreed to by
Weinrich and Patch just to make
things look trife better.
The job was nicely cut and dried,
just the same as the county printing
contract.
No, we did not give the news to
our readers a day in advance as the
Standard says, but did give them the
dope right on time, not two weeks
late.
