Helena, Montana,


Ever since the good old days when
Wilbur +. Sanders, Colonel Broad
water, Samuel IT. Hauser, F. August
US Heinge, Thomas II. Carter and a
half-dozen ctha-. astutc political ma
nipulators rang the changes of the
political game three hundred and sin
ty-fiev days in each year in Montana,
this state has had and deserved the
reputation # developing the most
complicated political problems of any
stat elm the union. The old leaders
have passed into the great beyond;
but they left behind them scores Of
apt pupils, whose fertile brains arc
ever busy with the task of making
medicine. >
Now and then there is distinctly
humorous cast to these manipulations,
as is the case with situation which
has just developed among two differ
ent sets Of supporters of the candi-
clacy of Hiram W. johnson of Califor-
mia for the Republican presidential
nomination. IS
A few weeks ago a field agent of
Senator johnson visited Montana in
the interest of his candidate, for the
purpose Of establishing organizations
in the larger centers. 1t came about,
either by chance or by design, that
in several cities, Helena among
them, he fell into the hands of men,
bers Of the "old guard" and his OIL
cial organization in the capital city
is made up almost wholly of those
who We're the bitterest opponents Of
the Progressive party during its life
time.
It is entirely possible that the gen-
tlemen are actuated by the purest
motives, and that they have no other
object than to do their utmost to
weld together The unhalmonious ele-
ments Of the Republican party in
Montana, but certain of the old atl~
herents Of the Progressive party, men
who were formerly prominent, in the
Psssg ssss4 u f3sR'ssa
faith of their a:acient opponents, and
these suspicious were intensified when
it became known that no candidate
for delegate to the national conven-
ticn had been placed under pledge,
implicit or implied, to support the
candidacy C. the California candi-
date.
And so it came about that a num-
ber OF johnson men, in various parts
of the state, decided upon a positive
course in behnM Of their fuvorite.
Eight c:sndidIt" for the position OF
delegate 10 the Republican national

tmintls ard filed for office. Most of
these candidates are farmers, or near
farmers whose past political activi-
ties have been such as to recommend
them to the Scobey "gang." And
thus the Scobey crowd hopes to ac-
complish, evidently, indirectly, what
they had given their word not 10 do
directly.
The farmers, however, are wise to
this game, and will stick to their
own ticket to man, thus insuring
the election of the whole league tic
ket from "A to zzard."
The league will have a good speak
er and campaigner in the new coun-
ty steady, making all precincts dur
ing the last two weeks of the CAM
paign.
It is claimed that Green Ink Rod
ger Burke of Scobey, Joe MILESTONE
of Glasgow, Joe Hooking of Glas-
gov, and Joe Dolin of Plentywood,
have their plans all made to get con-
troll Of the board of county commits
sioners and thus pick of the fat ,couli-
ty printing contract, just as soon Is
that juicy plum gets ripe. $s #& m
The invisible government at Scobey
is very "Chinese" in it's maneuvers,
but whether it lands or not, remains
to be seen. Its hatred of the league
is inbred-but it must velvet it's
claws yet for the time being. .@->.. =,

The preliminary declarations of
these eight Johnson delegates were
filed with the Secretary Of State but
y clay or two before the expiration of
the statutory time for such filings,
and just before the close Of office

\ Curiously enough-or was it some-
thing more than chance five Of
these candidates possess names be-
ginning with the letter =" "'A"; the
names of two others begin with 3D."
and the eighth man writes his signa-
ture with an initial 3D." This, under
