Tells Democrats at Helena

Helena-"Stand where Thomas JEFF
ferson and Woodrow Wilson wanted
the Democratic party to stand, fight
ing for the cause Of the common
masses against the selfish, autocratic
forces Of the state and nation. IF we
do we can win because we ought to
win; if We don't we will lose because
we ought to lose"
With those words Burton K. Wheel
er, Democratic nominee for United
States senator, closed a stirring ap-
peal to the Democrats of Montana to
align themselves with progressive
forces in national affairs. The speech
was delivered at the Democratic state
convention held here last week.
Harding and Wall Street.
Mr.. Wheeler severely censured the
present Republican administration,
that it was utterly out of sympathy
with the great masses of humanity.
Mr.. Harding was nominated, he de
clared on the strength of promises
made to the small group of Wall
street financiers which controlled the
Republican convention in 1920 "And
let it be said to the credit of Mr..
Harding that he lived up to the prom
ises he made" said Mr.. Wheeler. The
speech in full follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gen
tlemen:
"It is needless for me to say to
the Democrats and to the people of
Montana in general that I am deeply
grateful to them for The loyal sup
port that they gave me during the
primary campaign and She confidence
that they showed in me by voting for
me. The campaign Of misrepresenta-
tion that has been waged against me
during the past few years by the big
interests Of this state makes me have
confidence in that old saying that
Truth crushed to the earth will rise
again
The Democratic party at this time
has wonderful opportunity to again
assert itself in the interest of hu-
manity, not only in this state but in
the nation and in the world at large.
Never before has a party been af-
forded an opportunity of doing so
great service to the people and
for the forces of progress as has the
Democratic party in this state and
nation IN the coming campaign. We
as Democrats ard as men interested
in a great cause, ]. e., that of preserv-
ig to the people of this nation their
God-given right of freedom and IL
berty, should all put cur shoulder to

Paris, Sept. 25.-The return of Tur-

Bank of Montreal in Sask., Robbed
Tuesday Evening BY Safe Cracker
Amateurs at the J0b-Bank
Building Wrecked.
$1,000 IN CASH AND $4,000
IN VICTORY BONDS SECURED

Sheriff Collins received phone call
Wednesday morning at about 8 o'clock
to the effect that a branch bank of
the Bank of Montreal had been en-
tered by yeggs at about o'clock in
that morning and the safe blown by
the firing of three shots of nitro and
the bank robbed of $1,000 in currency
and about $4,000 in Canadian Victory
Bonds and that the cracksmen, tour
or five of them had gotten away, go-
ing it was thought south and asking
sist in locating them if possible.
Sheriff Collins Immediately sent out
officers to patrol the roads in the
county over which the robbers would
be likely to travel in getting away,
and left himself for the Provincial Po-
lice Barracks on the Boundary line to
advise the officers there who are not
connected with the outside world with
a telephone lire and from there he
went to the scene of the robbery at
Ceylon.
WORK OF AMATEURS
The work had evidently been done
by amateurs and it looked as if it
might have been their first job for
the nitro was not placed right and
too much was used. The safe which
was an old fashioned hard steel box
and easy to break was blown to pieces
and the building was wrecked.
NO EFFORT TO STOP YEGGS
Sevearl people had seen the yeggs
at work but not an effort was made
to Interfere with their operations. A
provincial policeman was in town
some place sleeping peacefully while
the work was going on. The people
who saw the gang said there were
four or five of them, all heavily
armed and that two Of the burglars
carried a large sack between them to
their car after the robbery, on the
side Of the town and that two men
walked in front and one guarded the
rear.

Court Takes Printing
Case Under Amusement

The final hearing in District Court
in the county printing case was held
in the court house, Scobey, Wednes-
day of this week, Judge C. E. Conner
presiding
Attorney Geo: Cudhie, representing
the plaintiff, F. D. Stange as tax
payer, presented testimony by wit
nesses to prove that the bids present
ed by JOS. F. Dolin, with whom Com
missioners Dodd and LaRoche enter
ed into a two year contract on behalf
of the county, was not lower than
the bid proffered by the Sentinel
that some of the items were lower
and that the more costly items such
as county registration lists, tally
books, tax receipts, ETC., were higher
which would bring the total cost to
the county for the printing for yea,
or more as high, if not higher, even
if Mr.. Dolin tried to abide by the
terms of his contract, than such work
would cost if furnished by the Sen
tinel.
The plaintiff also offered testimony
to prove that the< Daniels County
Leader, owned by Mr.. Dolin, had not
been published for year as called
for in Chapter II of the 1917 Ses-
sion Laws.
The plaintiff also offered testi-
naony to prove that the Scobey Sen
tinel had proposed to the Board OF
Commissioners, before the contract
was signed with Mr.. Dolin, that nc
bids had been advertised for and that
the Sentinel was willing. and pre-
pared TO do the county printing up
until February 9th, 1928, at which
time there would be no question as
to the legality of the Daniels County
Leader, and that the board could then
call for competitive bids from the
two papers.
The defendants, Commissioners
Dodd and LaRoche and MIR. Dolin,
were represented by Attorney Bah-
cock of Plentywood. They offered no
testimony whatever and no rebuttal
TO any of the evidence by plaintiffs.

Roosevelt County Seat
Fight Now Under Nay

The Roosevelt County Seat fight is
under way and it promises to be a
hot and interesting battle. Sheridan
and Daniels county people, as well as
those residing in the county where
the issue will be decided, are very in
terested in this campaign, as but a
few months ago, all of these counties
composed but one county, and prac-
tically all of the people in any one
of these counties are acquainted with
the leading actors in Roosevelt coun-
ty, are familiar with the issues, the
cross currents in politics and the
methods usually employed in that
county to win an election, and as a
result there will be as much interest
in the outcome in either of Sheridan
or Daniels counties as in Roosevelt
county itself.
At the time of the primaries in
Roosevelt county, the so-called old
gang in the county. and it is surely
some gang, was removed from office
to man by an avalanche of votes,
which fact served notice upon the
world that the taxpayers of that
grated and down trodden county had
united to rid themselves of the treas
ury leeches, one and ALL The victory,
was stupendous victory for political
decency and for economy, and vic
tory that marks epoch in that graft
ridden county.
In the fight to "clean house" as it
was called, Wolf Point took prom
inent part and staged a great thea
trical for political decency and public
economy. In this strategy, Wolf
Point was ably assisted by Bainville.
The report of the Public Examiner CT
Roosevelt county, giving report of
the administration was secured in
spite of the fact that it had been
carefully suppressed by the old gang
and the same was given to the pub
lie, and Usher T.. Burdick of North
Dakota, Eoted attorney, was brought
to Roosevelt c.nnty % travel and ex-
rlain the Examiners report, and the
Indictment that he made against the
Roosevelt county officials was terrific
and vindicated the charges made
against Roosevelt county officials in
season and out of season by the Pro-
ducers News. OF course every. vot-
er Id Roosevelt county knew at all
times that the interest Wolf Point
took i'm the clean up Of Roosevelt
county, was an interest inspired by
that city's desire to become the
county seat Of Roosevelt county,
nothing more nor nothing less. In

Test Weight Must Be
on Storage Tickets

John M. Davis, Chief of the Divi-
sion of Grain Standards and Markets,
of Helena, writes Arthur Rueber, dis
trict manager for the Montana Wheat
Growers Association that test weight
of wheat must be placed on storage
tickets.
Whether the test weight should be
placed on storage tickets by an ele-
vator has been a much discussed
question by members of the Montana
Wheat Growers Association and ele-
vator, men during the past ten days
in Northeastern Montana.
It has been the position of the
Montana Wheat Growers Association
that the test weight should be on the
storage tickets.
The Association officials believe
that the placing of the test weight
on the storage ticket is an indica-
ton on the part Of an elevator that
it is disposed to be fair in the handl-
ing of members wheat.
The Association is not going to be
technical in the matter of the redellv-
cry of the wheat by the elevator to
the Association. All the Association
asks is that wheat of approximately
the same average grade and weight
received by an elevator be deliverd to
the Association.
The telegram from Mr.. Davis to
Mr.. Rueber clears up this matter.
The telegram being as follows:
