POPLAR CALLED WINNER
necisI to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Poplar, Nov. 22.-Poplar has been
declared the permanent county seat of
cavassing board in rejecting three pre-
completed Monday. While the official
figures have not been given out, the
majority now held by Poplar in the
county seat election is placed at 81.
The ~canvassing board of Roosevelt
county has been in session since last
Friday, its meetings being literally in
terspersed with arguments by attor-
neys representing the towns of Poplar
and Wolf Point, the two contenders
in the recent county seat election. DIR.
j. J.. Atkinson, through his attorneys.
George f. Ericsson and Erick Noun,
petitioned the canvassing board to re-
ject three precincts, two of them upon
the grounds that the voting was done
in polling places other than those des-
ignated by the board of county COM
m~issioners; the other upon the grounds
that the voting was done at an Indian
agency in IL licensed Indian trading
post.
Attorney George f. Hurd Of Great
Falls appeared for Wolf Point and
has been in attendance at every sess
sion of the canvassing board. support
ed by large delegations OF Wolf Point
people. who. it is said were intent
upon moving the county seat TO their
city Immediately following the official
canvass. In this action they were OPP
posed By the board of canvassers.
By a tabulation of the vote OF
Roosevelt county it is shown that a
large majority of the farmers voted
10 retain the county seat at Poplar,
and it is the contention of a great
many that this county being in the ag-
r~icuItural class, the voice of the farmer
should carry q great deal Of weight.
For this reason in this locality the
action Of the canvassing board is meet
ing with general approval.
The rejection of the three precincts
may have more than local significance
owing TO the close contest between
Matthews and Stark for associate JUS
tice of the supreme court. The un-
official returns show that Stark has a
majority of 122 votes in the three pre-
cincts IN question and from present
indications this might be enough to
elect him 10 office.

profit on. But we have made prof.
its in sea freights before without
a bonus and we are likely to do It
again. From 1914 to 1918 owners
of ships made enormous profits,
often getting back the price of
their ship in a single cargo voyage.
1t is true that the sea freight bust
ness is much depressed at present
as is the case with many other
kinds of business. But if our mer-
chant marine cannot float without
a ten year bonus balloon tackled to
her raasts she had better sink and
be done with it. And it should not
be forgotten that we have really
been paying these greedy ship own
ers subsidies for a long time dis
guised as mail contracts. They are
now demanding that these mail
carrying contracts be increased to
a point that will make up to them
the profits on their bars which
have recently been closed by deci-
sion of the attorney general. They
think the hotels that had their bars
closed by prohibition could well
afford to ship in to recoup the ship
owners for closing their bars on
the high seas. They surely do not
lack for gall.

IN o ISLAND

THERE has been talk for fifty
L years of reform of the lcgis-
lature in Rhode Island. At the
present time the urban population
of the state is largely DISTINGUISHED
through township representation in
the legislature instead of repre-
sentation based on population. For
instance we are told that the city
of Providence cast $1,000 votes for
Senator and the town of West
Greenfield cast 1873 votes for state
senator, and each of them got one
member Of the state senate. Five
cities in Rhode Island cast more
than one-half of the vote of the
state but they only get five repre-
sentatives in the state senate while
the towns casting less than a ma
jority of the votes get "a repre-
sentatives. We in Montana are
particularly interested in the pro-
posed reform in Rhode Island be-
cause we have exactly the same
thing in our state senate here. A
voter in one of the smaller coun-
ties has more than 20 times the
political weight in legislation in
the state senate than accrues to a
voter in a larger county. So far
as we know only Rhode Island and
Montana have this unfair method
of representation. For half a cen
fury they have been trying to get
a reform in Rhode Island, but it
has always been blocked by the
small towns. 1t will doubtless be-
come an. issue in Montana some
day, though little is heard of it as
yet. When it does we will doubt
less have the smaller counties OBJ
jecting to any loss of political
power involved in equalizing the
rights of the citizen to representa-
ton IN the state senate regardless
of where he lives. The Springfield
Republican in commenting on the
election results in Rhode Island
says:
"The democrats Of Rhode Island.
having elected a governor of their
own party and only two or three
less than half the members of the
legislature, appear to have a chance
Of e~ffecting two important reforms
that are still sadly needed to mod
ernize the constitution of the state.
One Isl apportionment of the senate
on the basis Of population and the
other is abolition of the property
qualification for the municipal
franchise.
THE absurdity of tlf- old appor-
tionment was shown eloquently last

THE NEXT PRESIDENT

4 LREADY the political dope
a sters at Washington are dis
cussing presidential candidates for
1924. On the republican side it all
depends on whether President
Harding will follow the long es-
tablished custom of seeking a sec
ond term or 10 IF he does it is
generally conceded that he will get
the republican nomination, but
rurnor has it that he will not ask
for a second term and some Of his
recent actions bear out that guess.
When Miller was defeated for gov
ernor Of New York at the last
election the republicans lost their
most promising candidate, and
Pomerene of Ohio on the demo-
cratic side suffered the SAM fate.
Some say that Hitchcock Of Ne
braska also cherished presidential
ambitions, but if SO his boom was
a little one and died with the cleo
ton. Ex-Secretary McAdoo is the
most talked of candidate on the
democratic side just now, though
he insists as he did in 1920 that he
does not want the job. 1t is pretty
early to discuss candidates and the
early ones usually die off anyway.
The early bird catches the worm,
but the worm is also caught by the
carly bird
