Marion, o.. Sept. 1S.-American-
ism, its meaning to the foreign
born citizen and the dangers of a
hyphenated citizenship, was the
keynote of an address delivered
from his front porch today to dele
cations of foreign-bor citizens by
Senator Harding, republican presi-
dental candidate.
The delegations, comprising sew
eral hundred came from Chicago
and cities of the northwest and
Cleveland.
While declaring that at is not
possible, and ought not to be ex-
pected, that Americans of foreign
birth shall stifle love for kinsfolk
in the lands from which they
came" the senator asserted that
I'VE are unalterable against any
present or future hyphenated
Americanism."
Senator Harding was interrupted
many times during his address by
applause as he struck sympathetic
notes. Touching upon foreign rela-
tons, the senator declared that
eAtttL%t "a JfF-ifNN WI aFt rs sf=st AftVAA
the filfuI assumption to direct the
affairs of Europe" bur that ION
the contrary, the mistaken policy
of interference has broken the
draw strings of good sense and
spilled bad counsel and bad man
ners all over the world"
"AIeddling Abroad"
"Meddling abroad" he asserted,
"tends to make Americans forget
that they are Americans and to-
arouse the old and bitter feelings of
race or former nationality or for
eign ancestry in the hearts of those
who ought never been enforced to
turn their hearts away from undi-
vided loyalty and interest given to
America first.
Warning against hyphenism, SEN
ator Harding asserted that the
time might come when a group or
groups of men and women of for
eign birth or foreign parentage,
not organized for the interest of
but organized around
resentment against out government
might press, by propaganda and
political hyphenism upon our gov
ernment to serve their own inter-
ests rather than the interests oil
America. 1t is not beyond possibil-
ity," he continued, 'that the day
might come-and may God forbid
it-when an organized hyphenated
vote in American politics might
have the balance of voting power

trolled Montana politics. AS he des-
cribed it it is simply matter of the
laws being so made and administered
that the big fellows have the best of
the little fellows in great many
ways, but principally in the matter
of taxation. He described what tax
alton on net income means and as
serted that through that system the
big companies of the state escaped
taxes to the amount of S4,000,000
of $5,000,000 each year.
The different items on the Non
partisan program were discussed in
detail to show that there was nothing
socialistic about them more than
there was about municipal water
works or the United States postal
system. He swept away, by logical
argument and sharp edged ridicule,
many criticisms made by unthinking
and sincere but uninformed people.
The speaker, by his manner and
tone and the assurance with which
he presented his facts, convinced his
auditors of his sincerity and that he
had positive knowledge of the things
of which he spoke. He said nothing
which bordered on the radical, he
said nothing about putting any cor
porations "out of business" but said
that he desired only to put them out
of politics and restore the seat of
government to the state capital He
tore the mask from the Montana De-
velopment Association and made
clear the real motives of its authors.
Local business men were congratulate
ed upon not listening to the appeal
for funds to carry on this camou-
faged organization and paid a high
to the liberal, broad
attitude of the people of
Wolf Point toward the farmers and
laboring people and their interests.
Both speakers were literally APP
plauded during their addresses.

FIRE IN BUSINESS
SECTION OF FROlD
HEAVY DAMAGE TO THREE CON
Germs STARTS IN LUMBER
SHED SUNDAY MORNING

The city of Froid suffered very
serious fire loss in its business sec
tion last Sunday morning. The con-
Germs that suffered loss were the
Libby Lumber Company, the City
Meat Market, owned by Albert Zelt;
and the law Office of Leonard A.
Brown, candidate for county attor-
ney on the Democratic ticket. In
formation received directly from
Froid says that the fire started few
minutes before two o'clock Sunday
morning in shed of the lumber COM
pany and spread quickly to the City
Meat Market which was next in the
path of the fire and then to Mr..
Browns office which was partly burn
ed and partly razed to arrest the
progress of the flames.
A dance in the Bon Ton theatre
was still in progress when the alarm
was given so that there was no lack
of help for carrying water from near
by wells. The direction of the wind
aided in keeping other buildings from
lgnlIlng.
The Libby Company's coal shed
and part of the lumber stock were
saved. The company's loss is report
ed to be about $25, 900. The loss of
Albert Zelt, who owns both the meat
market and the building occupied by
Attorney Brown was approximately
$4,000, partly covered with $500 in
surance. Mr.. Brown, whose library
and papers were saved has found Of
fee room with the First National
Bank, and the Libby Company will
undoubtedly restock as soon as the
lumber can be shipped.
The cause of the fire is not known,
but it is believed that it may have
started from a cigarette or cigar
stub.

and economy. 1t will not be hare
to get competent people to take posi-

county seat.
Wolf Point has ample hotel capa
city to take care of the people wht
often assemble at a county seat. L
has good eating houses, well Lighted
streets, seven miles of concrete side
walks, city water, city sewage sys
tenn, an efficient fire department
equipped with motor hose truck and
chemical, and other equipment that
make it by far the best in the coun-
ty, and offers protection against fire
for the county records and county
property.
Wolf Point has the largest and
most modern theatre in this part of
the state, has splendid general pur-
pose hall, the Coliseum, that is not
exceeded in the state in capacity. 1t
will accommodate 1000 people. 1t
is equipped as general purpose hall
for large conventions, dances and
athletic purposes. Wolf Point has
three banks, an excellent lineup of
stores and other business places,
more than ninety business concerns
in all.
Wolf Point claims that as the
county seat she will be valuable adj
vertisement of Roosevelt county, and
would leave an excellent impression
upon strangers brought here from a
distance by business.
But Wolf Point claims that her
strongest claim for consideration
arises from the fact that she is not
fighting the farmers and the farm
and labor organizations, but sup
ports their candidates and their in
terests by large majority of her
vote. 1t is natural for this town to
stand with those whose interests are
common with our own. In the first
place Wolf Point has a large farmer
la Dor vote right within her limits.
IN the next place, Wolf Point and the
west end of the county has been ig-
nored by the county political ring

POPLAR'S CUMSHOE
CAMPAIGN in NORTH
PAPER RAILROADS AND WHOLE
CLOTH LIES-ANYTHING
TO FOOL EN-

Wolf Point puts her claims and ar
guments for county seat preference
on paper in black and white instead
of eur,slloeing around the country
peddling dope that won't do to print.
Poplar's workers have been telling
the people in the North country that
the county seat in Wolf Point means
taxes double what they ss would be
with the county seat at Poplar on ac-
count of increased mileage" Pre-
sumably they expect that there will
be so many criminals in and around
Poplar who will have witnesses sub
poenaed that to bring them to court
in Wolf Point will empty the county
treasury.
Of course there would be no ex-
pense, public or private, for getting
those of Wolf Points 2100 people
who had to go to the county seat
over to Poplar or Culbertson or
Bainville They harbor the same old
idea everything comes from the east
end of the county, the west end
con COullIs HS lOWllS dOnli tiiS
line are trying to convince Wo'f
Point it is supporting lost cause
because the League candidates, they
saw. will not get ten votes in Poplar,
Culbertson and Bainville together.
If the farmers are hoping for low
er taxes, they will do well to vote the
county seat to Wolf Point where the
general public and the newspapers
will have chance to keep tab on
what's going on. Down at Mondak
little items like $4,000 paid out for
outside legal counsel to assist the
county attorney slip by without very
many people noticing them.
The Poplar speakeasies are slip
ping about amongst the farmers
whispering that all Wolf Point wants
with the county seat is to make the
county build her bridge across the
Missouri river. Of course there is
nothing to base this statement on and
thew know it but it answers better
than nothing in the absence OF real
argument If anybody sits into
tight political combination that is
likely to become strong enough to
make the county do things, it's
Poplar and the bunch she schemes
with.
Another one of Poplar's beautiful
fairy stories is about that branch
line railroad" It's on paper, you
know, put on the county map by Mr..
Scott Hart, who draws salary from
the county and puts in his time boost
ing the county political ring. Any
dobv with good eyesight can see this
branch line road. It's built of ink
and reaches right where Poplar
wants it to go--into her Northwest
country. and she tells the rural vot-
ers. whom she sizes up as simple,
that if they will only vote the county
seat to Poplar the Great Northern
will make haste to biuld this line I
because they always build branch
lines out of the county seats. But the
Great Northern officials, who are

Froid Throng Welcome
Wolf Points Boosters

There is little need of telling the
people of this county that Wolf Point
Boosters, $50 strong, escorted cam
paigners B. K. Wheeler and J. w.
Anderson by special train with flags
band and banners through our
neighboring towns to Froid last Sat-
urday. 1t was one of Montana's most
beautiful days and everybody was in
fine humor. Stops were made at
every station, and at Poplar, Brock
ton. Culbertson and Bainville pro-
cession formed behind the band and
marched through the streets. At
Poplar they were very glum, only a
few people in sight, but a few of
those paid special compliment to
the Farmer-Labor movement by yell
ling frantically from the sidewalks
"Red, Red. Bolsheviki."
At Brockton the party was well
received. People poured out and had
nothing but smiles and welcoming
words and made us feel that they
were glad that we had come. Brock
ton is f1ourishing town and herself
county-seat contender.
At Culbertson they looked good
natured and seemed to recognize it
as a good stunt and part of the
campaign. Bainville seemed very
quiet. Most of the population having
hurried to Froid to take advantage of
the big crowd that they knew would

pretty fair authority, hold different
opinions. They say that in the first
place there is absolutely no prospect
of branch line being built from any
place, Brockton, Poplar or Wolf
Point, until conditions in this coun-
try are decidedly changed In the
next place, the location of the coun-
ty seat, they say, would have abso-
lutely no bearing on where the
branch line connected with the main
line. Railroads are built with ref
erence to economy in construction
and operation The railroad officials
volunteer the information that if a
branch line should be constructed out
of some point other than Wolf Point,
branch line trains would start from
and return to Wolf Point because
it is the terminal.
Another of Poplar's claims is that
there would be tremendous advan-
tage in having the county seat at the
same place as the Indian agency,
but fails to explain why The Indian
is strictly a federal de-
partment, and, according to their
own story handed out few months
ago, the Indian department will soon
be thing of the past.
Poplar is there when it comes to
fine political work. She schemed the
bill through the legislature that Gre
ated a long slim county, believing
that when it came to locating the
county seat she could get the ends
to fighting while she walked away
with the bacon. She never dreamed
that Wolf Point would grow so fast
as to make the west end unwieldy or

This issue of this paper goes to
nearly every voter in Roosevelt
county and will come under the eyes
of many people who have never been
in Wolf Point. 1t is especially on
account of such people that sample
copies of this issue are being mailed
to all parts of the county. 1t will be
hard in one issue of the paper to
make strangers appreciate what sort
of city has grown up in their coun-
ty.
Wolf Point is candidate for the
county seat and we have more sound
reasons to offer why it should be
made the county seat than any other
candidate can present. No more
than an outline of them can be given
here. 1t is natural for every town
along the line to covet this honor
and it is natural for the people liv-
ing close to those towns to want the
county seat to come to their town.
Self interest and self preservation
is human nature, but for the people
who consider the matter on the basis
of the interests of the whole county
and for the people who live well re-
moved from all the contending towns,
Wolf Point has claims that should
weigh heavily. First, Wolf Points
population is 2098 federal census),
Poplar's is 1852, Culbertson's SAT
and Bainville's 396, so Wolf Point
has as many people as the other three
combined. Some of our rivals try to
make much out of the claim that
there will be heavy expense for mile
age in going to Wolf Point. They
seem to think that no one will rem
ember the expense of the people of
the big town going, often at county
expense, to the little town as county
seat. 1t is cheaper in the long run
to have the county seat where the
people are than to take the people
to the county seat.
The chief advantage of Wolf
Points size lies in its being able /
to build modern improvements that
equip it to become the county seat /
with credit. She has all the facili-
ties for doing business, with dispatch

be there for big League Day." A
brief stop was made at McCabe anC
the next was Froid. There the Wolves
surely met a rousing welcome and
witnessed a crowd that looked as
though the whole east end had gather
ed there. Mr.. Wheeler spoke, in the
open to a crowd of two or three thou
sand. His speech was much the
same as the one he made at Wolf
Point and was loudly applauded by
the farmers. At the beginning of
his address he advised the League
members, in voting for county seat
to remember Wolf Point, the town
that stood for them.
The Wolf Point band then gave a
concert and at seven o'clock put on
a free dance at the Bon Ton theatre,
which was attended by an immense
crowd. The special started on the
return trip at 1920, everybody
agreeing that it had been a grand
day and that Froid was the best
town in the county to visit and big
success in the role of host and a good
supporter of Wolf Point for county
seat. The town made every effort to
take good care of her visitors. The
ladies of the Catholic church fed the
crowd at a fine chicken dinner. Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh N. Marion and the
Herald editor and wife were gra-
ciously entertained by Mr.. and Mrs.
L. A. Brown at their pleasant home.

CULBERTSON RELOCATED

"Culbertson is located midway be-
tween the Dakota line on the east
and the station of Atkinson miles
west of Brockton." says the Search
light. Frank Reed must have been
studying geography lately. Only a
short time ago the Culbertson Com
mercial Club was assuring the pub
lie that Culbertson was "half way
between the eastern and western
boundary of the county" If the
good old town can't stay put better
than that, the voters of the east end
will never be able to hit her with
those $1,000 votes"

Wolf Point has no stronger feature
than its schools which are unexcelled
in the state. Besides the regular
branches of the four year college pre-
paratory course, courses are provid-
ed in domestic science with q well
equipped department; thorough
commercial course; instrumental mu-
sic, school band and orchestra; and

Last Friday B. K Wheeler and j.
w. Anderson, a member of the State
Senate from Richland county, visit
ed Wolf Point, in accordance with
their regular speaking schedule. In
order to give more of the farmers an
opportunity to hear them without
staying in town over night, the hour
of the meeting was changed from
the evening to 800 in the afternoon.
Something like 400 came to the Lib
erty theatre to hear the arguments
of the farmers candidates for COVER
nor and the story of Joe Dixon's un-
successful attempt to hitch up with
( the Nonpartisan League as told by
4 Senator Anderson, who states under
oath that he was present at the time
Mr.. Dixon and his friends make the
attempt.
Senator Anderson spoke first, re-
viewing the outstanding features of
the campaign. He said that he had
been a Republican for many years,
but that the struggle in this cam
paign was not confined within party
lines but in simplest form was be-
tween the mass of the people on one
side and the mining interests and the
powerful corporations on the other
side. He called attention to the fact
that the Nonpartisan and Labor Lea
CUES, which were being branded by
republican leaders as unamerican and
dangerous appeared to be unobjec-
tionable to Republicans like S. c.
Ford and JOS NJ Dixon up to the
time they found that the Leagues
endorsement of their candidates. was
beyond their reach.
The Senator described the scene
at the Placer hotel in Helena when a
meeting between DR.. Dixon, Dr..
Landstrum and others with Senator
Anderson R. G. Arnold and A. j.
McGlynn was arranged by Yelling
ton Rankin for the purpose of per-
suading the League men that Mr..
Dixon would be an ideal candidate
for the League to take up as its can
didate for governor, Mr.. Rankin adj
vancing the argument and Mr.. Dix
on and DR.. Lanstrum explaining it.
Senator Anderson read several
sworn statements to verify the truth
of his story. These have been copied |
in many papers around the state and
most of our readers have undoubted-
ly had an opportunity to read them.
Leonard A. Brown of Froid, Demo-
cratic candidate for county attorney,
who had introduced Senator Ander-
son now presented B. K. Wheeler as
the man of the hour, the champion of
the people and their undoubted
choice for governor. Great interest
was evident in seeing and hearing
the man who has become the target
Of a vast amount of criticism, not to
say abuse.
In a speech that lasted nearly an
1our Mr.. Wheeler made clear the
real issues and the vital things that
are at stake. He stated his point in
.erms that could not be mistaken al
,hough there was nothing harsh or
bitter in his arraignment of the pow
,rful interests that have so long con-

application for this department was
allowed because the school was the

The faculty Of the school consists

grade teachers. All are well paid
and the best possible to procure. The
enrolment Of the school last year
was $50.
Many families in the course of
years, from necessity or choice, make
their homes at the county seat, and
educational facilities are Of the high
est importance to them. Voters with
children to educate should think this
over carefully before casting their
ballot.
