them about the cold gang" and that
the Glasgow people were against the
new county. Then it was that he be
gan going to the people in the west
end with the argument that he was
for Rock Creek County and they should
vote for him.
All that he did for them was TO
waste a lot of their money. He pre-
sented absolutely nothing to the board
upon which it could have granted the
petition. The proof of this is the fact
that these people never took the mat
ter into the courts.
That is the true history of Rock
Creek County. We had no intention
of entering into side issues but Mr..
Tooke has persistently misrepresented
this matter, and we have published the
facts.
The time has come in this county to
tear the mask from hypocrisy. The
stockholder-candidate gang have re-
peatedly offered to trade Dignan off
for support of any of the other candi-
dates. Still there is nothing doing. The
people are going straight down the
line and we venture the prediction that
Mr.. Dignan will be beaten in the Dis
trict by more than thousand ma
jority. 1t now ought to be apparent
to everybody that the best policy, in
politics as we'll as in every other line,
is to stand four square to all the winds.
Trying to get votes on the theory that
he is against the League and then
accepting the help of Budden is not
up to the standard of an honest Judge.
but it is on par with the Rock Creek
County scheme.
Voter your duty is plain. This coun-
tv wants no Judge controlled by the
First National Bank of Hinsdale, or
any other bank, or the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company, or any other
company, or by Alfred Budden, or
any other Dunn radical laborite.
DO YOUR DUTY

Creek County. Among the people in
the territory included in the proposed
Rock Creek County much opposition
developed. From the Missouri to the
Canadian line territory was with
drawn. Absolutely no opposition came
from the people of Glasgow. Dozens of
persons from the west end canvassed
Glasgow people on this question and
found that Glasgow people were alb
solutely neutral in the matter. Tooke
and his little bunch of misrepresenta-
tionists know that there was no oppo-
sition from Glasgow people, but like
the rest of the stockholder- candidate
bunch with whom he has "thrown in''
the truth is not good enough for them.
Shortly after the opposition de-
veloped from the people in Rock
Creek County and it was apparent to
Mr.. Dignan that Rock Creek County
would be defeated, for which the blame
would be placed upon him, clique of
the directors Of his bank at Hinsdale
sent emissaries to counsel for the Saco
people for the purpose of inducing
them to "throw the case" In all in
stances these emissaries said they
came from the Dignan bank crowd,
the First National of Hinsdale. They
proposed to the attorneys for Saco
that if they would let Dignan win the
case that the whole west end vote
would, on November End, be delivered
for any nominees for whom the
Glasgow people wanted the west end
to vote. These emissaries expressly
stated that the First National Bank
influence would be thrown against
Mr.. Dignan and his defeat made GER
tain at the primary There was nothing
doing. Then on the day before the
hearing, a representative of James
Mcintyre, President of the First Ma
tional Bank of Hinsdale, sought out
the attorneys of the Saco people and
stated to them that if they would
"throw the case" so that Hinsdale
could get their petition granted and an
election held, Mr.. Mcintyre would
"pull Mr.. Dignan out of the primary"
and keep him from becoming candi-
date for judge. Still there was nothing
doing.
The hearing came on. The Hinsdale
people employed Mr.. Odell w. Nc.
Connell, of Helena to do the work

gov, the day before the hearing, he
found that the case had not beer
properly prepared.
In Mr.. Tooke's 100 page transcript
it is shown that not once did Mr.. Dig.
nan have a word to say; not once did
he utter a word in behalf of his eli.
ents; not a thing did he do for the
creation of Rock Creek County.
To square himself with his clients
who distrusted these tactics, he told

After the Courier went to press last
week our attention was directed to
certain circulars which were mailed
by the stockholder- candidate gang to
the voters of the county relating to
Mr.. Dignan. So that nobody will be
fooled into voting for him by such un-
usual tactics we are publishing one of
the circulars and will tell the voters
the facts about this matter. We want
every voter in the 18th judicial dis
trict to know the truth.
With this circular was mailed card
containing the names of the Non
partisan candidates and upon that card
we find the following:
For Judge of District Court
Seventeenth Judicial District
x Thomas Dignan
Also was mailed in the same envel
ope a letter which among other things
tells the voters;
The candidates named on this card
stand for the program of the
League and if elected will strive
to enact it into law. All League
candidates are for the program.
All others against.
Observe that the Dignan circular
is signed estate Manager, National
Nonpartisan League, Montana Branch"
Strange that so important a docu
ment should not bear the signature
of human being. It purports to have
issued from Great Falls but was
really published and mailed in the
plant Of the ockholder-candidate
gang at Glasgow. Mr.. State Manager
is one Alfred Budden, President of the
Cascade Trades & Labor Assembly of
Great Falls. Mr. Budden is not an
American citizen. He has no vote in the
State of Montana. Let us analyze Mr..
Budden and this command of his to

The Truth About Rock Creek County

The Hinsdale Tribune, edited by
one frankie Tooke, has been harping
for long time on the denial of the
petition for the creation of Rock Creek
County. 1t has not been our intention
to go into any side issues in this cam
paign. We have promised the public,
however, that we would tell all the
facts and we will.
reprint of his latest article, but in sub
stance he says that the same element
at Glasgow which caused the defeat
of Rock Creek County are now saying
that it was Mr.. Dignan's lack of legal
knowledge which accomplished that
result. He wakes warm and says that
he has transcript of the proceedings,
covering over 100 typewriter pages
which he invites the public to read in
order, we suppose, to prove that some
body at Glasgow caused the denial of
this petition. We have read the
transcript, but fail to find anything
in it which supports Mr.. Tooke's
charges.
To the facts. Last winter, when the
candidate-stockholder gang were try
ing to force the west end farmers to
buy stock in the $4,000 newspaper
deal, the farmers refused and split
away from that gang. The gang then
saw that something had to be done to
soothe the sores thus caused. Mr..
Dignan wanted to be candidate for
judge. The new county idea was
hatched. It was an idea big with po-
litical possibilities. If new county
could be created, that gang would be
rid of the west end where opposition
had developed. If the petition was
denied, the blame could be laid to
Glasgow. 1t was arranged that Mr..
Dignan should represent the petition
ers and it could be explained to the
people in the west end that Mr.. Dig
nan was for them and they should vote
for him for Judge. After Mr.. Dignan's
Hinsdale bank had spread the propa.
ganda the petitions were circulated.
The filing of them was held up so as
to fix the hearing just few days be-
for the time for filing nominating ne.
titions for judge expired. Much oppo-
sition developed among the west end
people to Mr.. Dignan representins
them in the hearing because thew did
not believe he knew enough law To
handle the matter. Contrary to in.
stfuctions one of the officers of Dig.
mans bank, who had been in on the
play. from the beginning, ostensibly
employed Mr.. Dignan to represent
the petitioners. The hearing was sci
