ask, is wearing in this campaign the
political collars, wrought of copper
if not the papers who refuse to sup
port the %anti-copper campaign?
Who knows better the course of f;
crooked path than a paper that wave
a Republican banner in its s%alutatory
and later gives private assurance thai
it will be run in the interests of the
Democratic party, if it "a get Demo.
cratic patronage?
Fawning on a city official until
the plums are secure and then throw
ing him down without even a friend
ly mention could not possibly be con-
sidered double dealing, could it,
Skare?
And, what paper is more open to
suspicion of selling than one that
begs for local business to support it
and gets it, and in time of the towns
need, and in the heat of the cam
paign does not dare to print a line
in support of its own home town?
The Herald editor will be only too
glad to lay his "record" for square
toed, above-board dealing, in the pa
per and in private, along by the side
of that of the Promoter and its
"staff" and let the people of Wolf
Point and community render the YER
dict.
Nobody need long be in doubt as
to where The Herald man and The
Herald stand. They stand for their
home city, the home candidates, for
the just cause of the common people
among whom we live and from whom
we get a livelihood. No loss of po-
litical favor or political patronage
can turn us aside from the plain path
of fidelity and duty. Prone as we
are to human failings, the role of
Judas would never fit us; and Bene-
dict Arnold, with all his brilliancy, is
not a character we could emulate, OF
tolerate as an advisor.
The Promoter says it is "anxious
to boost any movement that is up
c~ommendable and for the good
of the town" Then there is a job
for you. Let's lay aside the ques-
ton of candidates and parties just
to please you. 1t is upright and com
mendable and for the good of the
town for Wolf Point to seek the
county seat; so get into the game
and boost.
Getting back to the original ques-
ton raised by The Herald, the peo-
pie of the town and the country,
of them Promoter subscribers,
are waiting to learn where you stand,
Who are you for for county Of
Who are you for for state
officials? Who are you for for presi-
dent? What town are you for for
seat?
If you are for the Republican tick
cts, say so, and publish them. If You
ion't care to do it of your W voli-
ion, do it t'by request" If you are
'or Poplar for county seat, put US
al out of our suspense and say Sc.
Give your Poplarized friends value
received, as near as you an.
On the square, we cannot savvy
your system or fathom your game.
We thing the "press gang" ought to
lit on your case and examine your
read. The only possible explanation
hat occurs to us is that that near
humorous column of unexpurgated
sug-gestiveness is run under
Jour real name.
