tyrant at Scobey, who has recently
been appointed postmaster at Scobey
in spite of his savory record, simply
refused to allow, by means of his
tools and henchmen, Rankin and Pope
to speak at Scobey Wednesday. The
excuse was contagious sickness, and
a temporary quarantine was estab-
ished. Mr.. Bennett is strong sup
porter of Carl Riddick for United
States Senate, and it is reported that
Attorney General Rankin is likely to
also be candidate for the nomina-
ton on the republican ticket, so his
Scobey meeting was blocked Mr..
Bennett is also said to be rather
lukewarm on the enforcement of the
prohibition law.
