Plains, Oct. Tone Of the largest
crowds to ever attend q political rally
in this city heard B. K. Wheeler, demo-
cratic candidate for the United States
senate. and Judge Joseph r. Jackson,
candidate for chief justice of the Mon
tana supreme court, here Saturday
evening. Mr.. Wheeler's comprehen-
siye survey of Americas foreign rela-
tons and the conditions which o
exist as a result were frequently ap-
plauded.
Judge Jackson said that through ju-
dietary candidates are not supposed TO
hold and express political ideas, he had
principles which had to be expressed.
He said that men on judicial benches
are as responsible to the electors as
the legislators and executives of the
government. He believes that the
main duty Of judges should be to follow
the will of the people, and to admins
ter the law as it is, not as they see 1t.
Wheeler, Friend of People
He characterized B. X. Wheeler as
absolutely square and honest. He said
that the great corporations of the state
had never been able to change the
policy followed by Mr.. Wheeler in all
his public and business life. He said
that Mr.. Wheeler always had been for
the people of the state of Montana n
never for the corporations who think
only of the dollar sign.
Mr.. Wheeler stated his belief that
the republican party is aiding and abet-
ting the enemies of civilization by ex-
erting it's influence against the masses
of the people.
Concerning the foreign problems
confronted by this country, Mr.. Wheel
er said: -. -oo
years of work and struggle, of 100000
600 men and women, is dissolving.
There seems to be no forces now at
work, strong enough to arrest the ap-
preaching disaster.
Europe Very Sick
According to Mr.. Lloyd George,
there is more unemployment and sui
fering in England today than at any
time since the Napoleonic wars.
Europe, then it viii be seen is sick,
and very sick and has been growing
not better since the armistice. How
much lower can the living for the mid
die and lower classes go before the
thing c~ollapses? Surely not a great
deal further. And, if the system does
collapse, Europe cannot support half of

been brought about by the people but by
the ruling classes of Europe who for
the last 100 years have oppressed them
and kept them in ignorance and dark
ness. This should be an object lesson
TO America and particularly to those
autocratic forces in America that seek
to control, not only the avenues of
publicity, but the very life of the gov
eminent itself. If they would save
themselves they must save Europe n
must save America, not by oppression,
but by permitting the people to have
a freer hand in the affairs of the
nation.
Help Ourselves by Aiding Europe
'We in America must depend upon
Europe. If Europe cannot buy u
products, then we cannot prosper. Inc
first consideration for US is how can we
best help ourselves, and l answer that
by saying, by helping Europe, by put
ting Russia, Germany, Austria, England
and all Europe in a position to buy
what we have to sell and, secondly, by
arousing the American people to a
sense of duty they owe to themselves,
that of taking a more active interest in
the affairs of government. This is your
government and you must protect and
preserve it.
what does republican party offer to
the world and to America to help us in
this crisis? 1t offers a tariff law that
adds an additional tax of from $780,
