POLITICAL POT STEWS
More Democratic Candidates Fe-SI Ten Days Left For
Filng-Loucks Out Campaigning.

The Sheridan county political pot
is still brewing and whether the brew
will be two per cent or something
harder only time will tell-but one
is going to fine crop of candidates.
thing is apparent: that is that there
PROF. PETITE FOR SENATE .
One thing is certain that the bank
ers are not to have it all their own
way in furnishing opposition to the
league for Prof. Petite, the we'll
known scientist and meteorologist
who has become famous as weather
prophet throughout the length and
breadth of the state, filed Monday on
a very progressive ticket, one which
will sound good to any progressive
democrat. Prof. Petite is well known,
is we'll thought of and is a good
speaker and is not afraid to express
his opinions at any time and he has
the ability to express them. He has
had campaign experience as he has
spoken and campaigned in many po-
litical battles. Prof. Petite will not
be the only democratic candidate for
Sen Hans Dixon, the league senator
who was elected with league endorse
ment last election on the democratic
ticket has at last fell for the persua-
sion of his friend, Neils Christensen,
the great fxer, and today filed for
the senate on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Dixon had given out that while
he had been approached by the bank
ers to make the race for them he

before the league convention and that
he would abide by the results of the
convention and would support the
league ticket straight, but it seems
that Neils Christensen who took the
pledge to support the ticket as a
league delegate from Dagmar is not
they say, a man whose word or even
written pledge is worth much and is
now out trying to bust the league
from stem to stern. That is habit
of Neils' and he can't help it. He al
ways trys to bust anything that he
can't himself run. He has done that
many times before. He was one of
the Harry Loucks crowd at the last
convention who did not openly bolt
the ticket at the time, but did, it
seems from all reports, secretly sup
port C. E. Conner for judge to the
best of his ability and when that is
told, enough is told to indicate just
how honest Neils is in any protesta-
ton that he stands for economy Or
even public decency. Neils Christian
sen himself wanted to make the race
for the senate, but he did not have
any excuse to come after Hans. Dixon
made up his mind to come. The boys
claim that he urged Dixon in order
to get Dixon's positive refusal in
order that he might have an excuse
to back in, but that Dixon was per-
suaded and has filed, thus leaving
Neils out. Mr.. Dixon is a strong
candidate and if he is nominated end
elected, the bankers will not have
gained very much anyway and ri
great harm will have come to the
county and state-Dixon is not a
bad fellow and his record in the SEN
ate is good, as. far as voting goes. He
was, howeves, not as aggressive as
many would have liked to have had
him and exerted very little influence
if any upon that body. He is per-
sonally fine gentleman, an honest
man and a good citizen.
GEORGE MUNSON TREASURER
George Munson also filed today for
county treasurer. Dan Olson thought
for a while that he was going to have
everything his own way as Mr.. Gregg
Of Medicine Lake had not filed yet,
but it seems that he will have demo-
cratic competition. Mr.. Munson is a
well known, wealthy farmer, who lives
