MONTANA MERCHANTS
HOLD CONVENTION
Continued from page ~

this year in politics and it behooves
every mar who has the interests of
his state at heart as well as those
who would wish to protect their in
terests that they have been spending
their lives to build up, to put their
shoulders to the wheel and work for
safe men for the political offices of
our state and nation.
Hard to Obtain Credit.
"Montana's credit, as you know, is
in a very p%recarious condition. Any
of you who have attempted to bor-
row money, collect money or sell bonds
is very well acquainted with the fact.
"There is an organization of radi-
Gals who would control the affairs of
our state and if they gain the control
they seek, the credit of the state will
be absolutely ruined.
State Is Threatened.
"The great state of Montana would
be unable to sell bonds for any enter
prise. Individuals, corporations, irri-
cation districts, school districts, etc,
would be unable to borrow any money
and all moneys would be payable when
due, and they all come due at a bad
time. This, gentlemen, is a condition
we must face and face squarely.
Has 10000 Votes.
"Now the merchants and business
men of Montana should control about
10000 votes, which if properly hand
led would control the election.
"Now, don't you think that l am
trying to turn the organization into
a political n but if you do not get
interested enough in politics to take
an active part and support good safe
men for affairs of our state you GER
tainly have no kick coming when the
next session of the legislature will
hand you more house bills like No.
IA, or worse"
The final speaker of the afternoon

TOWNLEYISM NOT NATIVE TO
MONTANA.

The people of Montana have no de-
sire that powers outside the state
shall draft their legislation for them,
We have been told that the farmers of
North Dakota tried to get laws fav-
orable to their kind of life and when
they failed were told to go home and
slop the hogs OF words to that effect.
Now out of this spirit of indiffer-
ference, we are told, grew the nom
partisan league and the chaos that
reigns in North Dakota. Agitators
have been covering the state of Mon
tana telling the people that the spe-
cial interests are very anxious to get
control and as long as they are in
control the farmers and labor element
cannot get justice at the hands of the
present powers that be. Always the
effort is made to stir up class hatred
and to array one class against anoth-
er in the state and to create a spirit
of suspicion in the minds of all men
toward every other group of men. The
thought held out is that there is no
relief except in the /. w. w. or the
nonpartisan league methods and that
there must be a strenuous effort made
to hold this state as it is held by the
forces of North Dakota.
In the last state legislature of this
state the farmers needed and wanted
certain legislation, such as state, hail
insurance, terminal elevators and state
grading of grain. These matters
were put into the hands of the farmer
members of the legislature and told
to put them in form and when pre-
scented for the vote to the two bodies
were adopted without opposition. The
other members of the legislature were
as eager for constructive laws for the
agricultural interests of the state as
were the farmer members themselves
and why should they not be, for the
interest of the farmer is the interest
of the state as a whole.
1t is not true that the conditions
in Montana are similar to those ir
North Dakota and ever the league
papers are honest enough to admit
that this is true. Our soil is not fit
ted for Townleyism and it's kindred
evils. 5

was Paul Bradley of Los Angeles. re-
preventative of the California Fruit
Growers exchange, whose subject vas
"What to Do With Dead Stock" Mr..
Bradley told his audience that he
wanted to show them some fundamen-
tails in their business that probably
they would be disposed to dispute on
first thought, and yet he told them.
he would show it to them so concl,1-
sively that they would have to admit
the facts of his statement. He then
took up the question of profits and
the margin between cost and selling
price of goods and gave a blackboard
demonstration in figuring profits as
we'll as the margin for which goods
were sold above their cost and brought
out forcefully the fact that there is
a very general misunderstanding of
what is meant by profit. He said
that profits must always be calculat-
ed on the selling price for the reason
that expense of business is based on
the total sales, thus furnishing the
only acurate basis for profit calcula-
ton.
The speaker asserted that the gro
GERS sell as per cent of their goods
without a profit, actually taking a
loss on som of it, while the other
55 per cent must carry the load of
the business expense and lay the foun-
dation for whatever net profit the
dealer is able to show from his en-
terprise. He said that the grocers'
expense, taking the dealers of the en-
tire country, was 16 2-3 per cent prior.
to the wave of high prices and that
right now it is IA 6-1O. He empha-
sized the need of the merchant keep
ing before his mind the wisdom of
stock handling and that it was the
man who sold the goods rather than
the mar who bought the goods who
made the success, as it did not matter
how much goods a dealer had on his
shelves, it vas the mar who turned
his stock into cash and counted the
profit that made the success.

rstrictions placed upon them by wild
legislation.
The Townley crowd have been howl
ing about "handpicked" candidates,
about a "kept press" and "the bos-
ses' and about Especial privilege"
Perhaps at no time have we heard
more about the primary than we have
heard in this state this last year.
Save the primary" is the cry and yet
the league in North Dakota and the
labor league in this state picked the
candidates for the voter. And where
is there a better "kept press" than
the papers that take their cue from
the boss from Beach. Does the av-
erage farmer think ne had anything
to say about the candidates that are
to be voted upon? North Dakota is
the worst bossed state in the history
of government. When you speak
about it to them, you receive Boss
Tweed's famous reply, "What are you
going to do about it," Nonpartisan-
ism has borrowed all the evils of the
old party system and are using them
with a vengeance.
The election was bitterly fought
and the Frazier forces won over the
LANCER powers by a small margin.
Frazier received 59,446; LANCER 54,-
172; margin, SPA. This was a close
fight and the result in a few years is
very clear to those who can read the
signs of the times. The election of
some Independent candidates, such as
Miss Nelson for the public school su-
perintendency, tell us that the farm
ers of North Dakota are doing their
own thinking in some particulars at
least. Miss Nelson has stood against
the Townley bossism and has been
backed up by the people in her work
for a clean public school system and
a public library that is free from all
books Of a doubtful character. The
election is not an endorsement of
Townleyism.
The time to defeat this propaganda
in Montana is NOW. Townleyism
cannot stand the light of investiga-
ton and looks not to the light but
rather to the darkness.

One cannot help but feel the Com
mittee of AZ is in bad company when
you see the elements that are blend
ing with them in the convention now
in session in Chicago. The owen
ton looks like an amalgamation of
all the discordant political groups
within the body polite.
Cheers greeted a red hot defense
of Soviet Russia and John Fitzpat-
rick, president of the Chicago FEEDER
alton Of Labor, keynote orator, brot
the convention to a high state of en-
thusiasm with the startling words,
"that the day would come when the
working people of the United States
would get together and do a job as
the workers of Russia have done. u
Delegates cheered wildly. "Three
cheers for Soviet Russia" Fitzpat-
rick declared there was no power that
could prevent the "hand and brain
of labor taking the government out
of the hands of, not Americans, but
international financial %pirates," anc
advised all the minority groups te

1t is futile for Towniey and his as
s~ociates to unite the natural enemies
of the farmer, the radical labor and
the I-Won't-Works.
The leaders of Montana will con-
tinue to foster the interests Of the
agricultural parts of the state and
they do not need the powers that 1--we
in St. Paul, Minnesota, to tell them
when or how to do it, and we are 60
ing to see some new legislation in the
coming year that will far surpass the
doings in North Dakota and it will
come from the powers in the state.
To any fair minded man Townley-
ism means higher taxes and special
privilege to the forces of bolshevism
and fat offices to those who could not
get leadership in a sane program.
Most of the leaders of the North Da-
kota present day politics have been
men who have failed in their for
tunes and now think they can C
c~essfully run a whole state. Many a
man who cannot successfully run a
peanut stand thinks he can direct a
corporation or manage a government.
There is some humor in politics if
you keep your eye for the jokes who
are trying to run things. Have you
noticed the jokes who would be gov
ernor and Acknowledgements? lmag-
inc the state house filled with this
crowd! 1t is we'll that the sanity of
Montana voters is such that they want
no Townleyism as a controlling force
in the state.

Stark stand the great convention halls,
Which yesterday held gallant throngs,
And hushed r now the trumpet calls
Of those who met to right our wrongs.
The vacant chairs stand all forlorn,
Departed is the battle thrill,
But tho the brave and bold have gone
Their pussyfootfalls echo still!

COOLIDGE SPEAKS HEROICALL'

The vice president of the United
States has never made a very deep
impression or the public mind. Theo-
dore Roosevelt made a deep impress
sion after he became president and
one wonders just what would have
been his place if William Mckinley
had lived. Coolidge makes a very good
impression as we read his speeches
and note the wisdom of his sayings.
Here are a few sayings made before
he ever dreamed of being the vice
presidential candidate:
The people cannot look to legls-

Voters of (,,rittenden County!
BE NOT DECEIVED!
By Misleading Promises and
"Wilson-C Cox" League Propaganda!

Four years ago the Democrats succeeded III
deceiying the voters with God Bless Wilson. He
Kept Us Out of War; and by that means elected
Woodrow Wilson president. And the same DEM
ocrats are again resorting to deceptive methods
by giving out false Interpretation Of the League
of Nations. But since being 50 wOefully fooled
and having endured eight years OF wisconsin,
which has almost ruined our nation the voters
are now thinking for themselves, and refuse to
be further misguided and will say by their votes
on November End, "AWAY WITH YOUR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS" and all other autOcrat-
ic and un. American doctrines.
Women of Crttenden county, since twenty
nine Republican states of our union as against
only seven Democratic states have now clothed
YOU with full right of suffrage, GO TO THE
POLLS ON NOVEMBER the End and cast your
vote for the Republican ticket as did the mothers
In the state Of Maine, and say BY that act that
YOU denounce the League Of Nations, and that
you are not willing to mortgage your boys to the
European powers and that you will not sign the
bloody bond which Is first lien upon the life Of
every boy beneath the Stars and Stripes.

A LEISURELY TRIP

The Robert Hind is at Ahukini
discharging cargo of coal for
Lihue Plantation. She arrived
last Friday evening nine days
from Honolulu, which she left
Wednesday of the week before.
This reminds one of the good old
schooner days of so years ago.
but even so, the little craft of
those old days generally did bet
ter than that. 1t is also an indi-
cation and a reminder of where we
would be without the Inter Island
steamers, as poor as their service
is.

IN
CONFERENCE

The Filipino National Associa-
ton held their annual convention
at Waimea from Wednesday to
Saturday of last week. There
were 46 delegates from the differ
ent Islands, and various matters
of Importance to the welfare of
the FilipinOs on these Islands
were discussed, including the
strike grievances and claims. The
temper of the convention was on
the whole pacific rather than pug
nacious or radical and resulted in
framing resolutions of request to
the planters which were passed,
and forwarded to the Planters AS
sociation in Honolulu. These were
along the line of better living con-
hitiOns, welfare work, etc, rather
than any eXorbitant demand for
more money.
Prominent among the leaders
were Nicholas Dixon, president of
the associations; Rev. S. Ygloria,
treasurer, and B. Makapagal, Ter
ritorial commissioner.
They are conservative, level
headed men, with an influence
which can hardly fail to be salu-
tary and in the best interests of
the Filipino people here.

two-t thirds of which time he has
spent at Eleele, where he has been
in the employ of the plantation as
carpenter.
The kuleanas have Il combined

Lihue District Court Notes

Saturday was general grievance day
in the Lihue district court and the
Judge had his hands full in pacifying
Il trio of daughters of Lusitania who
appeared before his Honor, volubly
complaining, mother and daughter
against a lanky lady and vice versa.
Charged with assault and battery,
the Judge did little juggling and had
the trio of fair danes arraigned on the
single charge of affray, with all it i'm
plies. Each one and all of the fair
defendants gleefully swore they pulled
each others hair and had been using
such language as to make both Court
and interested spectators blush for
shame.
Eventually, having found all guilty
of participating in the mele, the Court
generously sentenced each to pay the
fine of ten dollars and cost of court.
The fines paid, the trio hustled out
of the court room, each swearing to
get the other as soon as they cound
conveniently lay their hands on law
yer. Results are awaited.
