CHICKENS HOME TO ROOsT

News has fought in campaigns past.
have opened the eyes of the voters of
this county. The latest acquisition to
their thinned cohorts is an importa-
ton from Great Falls, probably sent
to their rescue by King Georges man
man Budden, and his name is George
F. Burke. Now don't anybody laugh.
George F. Burke and William E.
Rhodes! George F. Burke and Thomas
Dignan!! George F. Burke and Mr..
Turner, your hired man!!!
The stockholder-candidate manipu-
lators have turned over the works to
George and he has grabbed the wheel
of this flivver with the same avidity
he has shown in grabbing his warrant
from the State treasury for $4,000
per month as deputy game warden. He
used to get only $125.O0 per month,
but when he moved to Great Falls it
was found that it cost something TO
enforce the game laws in Valley
County by telephone, so his salary was
increased.
None of the present generation re-
members when Burke connected up
with the State pay roll, but they do re-
member that the News gang used to
tie into him about once a week and
the cold guard as Daddy Cutting
says, had a lot of fixing to do to keep
Georges pay check coming along reg
ularly. Rhodes and Dignan wept many
salty tears upon each others bosoms
because they just couldn't get Georges
scalp. The News devoted columns of
criticism hoping to get George fired,
but the Stewart machine rambled right
along with George sticking on the
running board and he's there yet ir
spite of Willie and Tommie.
Rumor has it that George has his
red card from Mr.. Wheeler which
will entitle him to hold on to the
deputyship at $4,000 per month if
Mr.. Wheeler is elected Governor.
Whether the game laws are still to
be enforced by telephone from Great
Falls umo saith not.
Just what treatment Rhodes, Dignan
and the rest of the gang have applied
to George to disinfect him of the cold
gang and old guard" odors and to tune
him up or down to stockholder-can-
didate standard is a concealed issue.
The gang are sure to lose votes when
the voters get that concealed issue so
they want no publicity. The Courier is
published for the purpose of telling
the facts. 1t has and will.
On Georges decision to boost the
notwithstanding game he CON-
FERENCED with Mr.. Dignan, Bud
denis candidate for judge. After the
CONFERENCE Mr.. Dignan said:
"Come out for Cox and Roosevelt"
The News came. You remember the
article. Read it. It is interesting. But
George had not been accustomed to
the Observation-Disclosures game and
he pulled a "bone"-a big juicy, sue
culent, full grown, mans size "bone."
The News was in soak to one O. H. P.
Shelley of Helena. Mr.. Shelley sent
word to the News to "get off" Cox
and Roosevelt and Wheeler or he
would foreclsoe the mortgage. The
News got off and has remained silent
ever since. George had never before
played politics with anybody who was
sewed up to the interests so he went
to his new friend Mr.. Dignan, vice
president of a couple of banks, and
wanted this "ten per cent interest ar
tist' to take over the mortgage so
the News could be free. Remembering
the trouble he has in collecting the
rent from the News, he side-stepped.
Something had to be done. George
is famous for heavy political thinking.
He suggested to his cohorts that the
Cox and Roosevelt article entitled it
to some of the Land Office notices, so
that the Shelley mortgage could be
lifted and Willie Rhodes be given a
chance to tell the people how honest
ne is and how free from the interests
control. Two birds We're to be killed
with one stone. If the Land Office
gave the News these notices, the Dem
ocratic papers would be whipped in
line to support the Stockholder-candi-
date gangs ticket and Shelley would
be paid. Mr.. Dignan and Daddy Gut
ting "took up" the matter with Sena-
tor Walsh. They did not tell Senator
Walsh that the money was to go to
the Republican National Committee
man, Mr.. Shelly, who financed the
News to enable it to fight the Demo-
cratic party.
AT any rate, Senator Walsh gave his
orders to the Land Office and the
News got $1,000 worth of printing, but
it will not come out for Cox and
Roosevelt or for Wheeler. It DARE
not do it. It knows it. Dignan knows it.
Burke knows it. Let's hear no more
about this political honesty and free
dom from control.
