DANIELS COUNTY GANG WOULD
KEEP NAMES OF FARMERS OFF BALLOT

1t is reported that the Sid Bennett
gang, which is SO ardently supporting
Carl Riddick for congress, Sid being
postmaster at Scobey, hatched up a
fine little scheme last week to keep
the names of the farmer candidates
off from the republican ticket in Dan
lels county this week, but it seems
that the dynamite did not explode
because of a bum cap.
The Daniels County farmers can
didates all filed Monday, the last day
allowed by law for fling, which re-
quires that all candidates for county
offices must have filings completed at
least fifteen days before the primary
election. The Scobey gang had
happy thought that fifteen days meant
inclusive, which would make the last
filing day, Sunday, August 18th, and
meant that the farmers had filed too
late and the gang, knowing that they
are whipped in the primaries, sought
the aid of the court, and drew up an
injunction to prevent the placing of
the names Of the farmers candidates
upon the ticket. It is reported that
the lnJuIIct1On was tdhCH 70 q CQuSO
Conner and that he signed the same,
but the injunction was never served,
as during the time the papers were
being taken to Judge Conner, the
lawyers for the gang, continuing brief
ing, found number of cases in point,
where the supreme court had held
that any fraction Of a day in reference
to the filing of nomination petitions,
was a day and that so, Monday was
last day for fling and the filings were
completed in lawful time. So the pa
pers were not served and the names
of the farmers candidates are now
being printed upon the. Daniels county
official ballot.
Another thing that discouraged the
gang was the universal resentment
with which this unAmerican idea was
being received by the public in gen
eral. and because of the fact that
the farmesr were preparing to make
a sticker campaign.
The farmers filed tWenty-six can
didates in all, eight county candidates,
q candidate for justice Of the peace
and II candidates for precinct COM
lnitteemen.

LABOR GETS NEWS
PRINTED AT POPLAR
Labor Threatens to Vote Against
Wolf Point for County Seat to Pay
Business Men for the Double
Cross"

Wolf Point labor is reported to be
on the war path. 1t is reported that
Mayor Moore who DEBATED Bert Lynn,
a prominent labor leader of that town
last spring by few votes for mayor,
signed an affidavit Of danger for the
Great Northern Railroad Company, in
support of that company's efforts to
bring in troops to drive the workers
back onto the job and to weld the
chains of slavery tight on their necks.
Mayor Moore is reported to be bit
ter labor hater and this has been in
tensifed by his experience with labor
members Of the town council who
have checkmated him in many of his
designs. Mayor Moore fell down,
however, for Sheriff Macy reported
to Gov. Dixon that he. did not need
troops and that there was no excuse
for the calling of troops and that he
could handle the situation very we'll
himself.
It is reported that the workers,
when election time comes, are going
to get even with the scab lovers of
that town by voting for Poplar for the
county seat. It seems funny, so Wolf
Point Labor says, that the Wolf Point
business men are so stupid that they
cannot hide their hatred for the men
who work and support the town until
they have safely landed the county
seat

qualify because it has only been pub
lished six months whereas the law
requires a year, and furthermore it
is not a paper of general circulation
in Daniels county, only having a very
limited number of subscribers in Sco-
bey.
The county commissioners opened
the bids of both the Scobey Sentinel,
the farmers paper, which has had the
printing contract for the past two
years, and the Daniels County Lead
er, and Com. La Roche and Com. Dodd,
voted to give the contract to Dolin
and The Leader, even though Dolin's
contract was the higher and was,
like the Sheridan county contract full
of jokers, even over the advice of
County Attorney Nyquist who advised
them that the Leader was not news
paper in the eyes Of the law, but
those commissioners paid no atten-
ton to advice. Com. Esval strenuous
ly objected to the awarding of the
contract to Dolin.
Judge Conner is reported to have
remarked at the preliminary hearing
when he denied the injunction, that
the contract as far as the code is con-
cerned is illegal, but that it was his
off hand opinion that the printing law
is unconstitutional. The final hearing
on the Injunction will occur in the
course of a couple of weeks before
Judge Conner, when a final order will
be entered either granting or denying
the motion for an Injunction. In the
meantime Dolin will have an oppotuni-
ty to do the election printing for the
county of Daniels, and If the motion
is denied he will also get chance to
do the printing for the fall election,
as it would be impossible to get a
decision out of the supreme court be-
fore that time.
