WOLF POINTS
IMPORTANT PART

~ PNAEOCA -APPOaAl
Wolf Point has a special part X
perform in the primary battle OF
Tuesday and there is no lack of as
surance that Wolf Point citizen.
with true public spirit will rise to the
occasion. Our people are too wise tc
be mislead and allow their forces to
be divided by the threadbear, time
honored tactics of Poplar bunko
~steerers and their local agents. Our
people are too broadgauge to be
turned aside from the curse that
leads to patriotic duty and their own
best interests by side issues and per-
sonal feelings. If they hear whis-
perings intended to poison their minds
and warp their judgment they will
not believe them. Wolf Points vote
viii be 80 to 80 per cent RIGHT,
which means "cIean house."
Wolf Point is banded with the east
end of the county to put this house
cleaning over. Our east end friends
have promised to support u candi-
dates and expect our support for
their candidates. The candidates
were all selected in the fairest way
possible. Our candidates, W. l..
Young and Fay Bartholomew, are
thoroughly acceptable to the East
End and it is up to us to help put
them over. Genuinely loyal citizens
will not allow local matters or the
acts of one or two individuals to in
terfere with community spirit and
duty. The business body of Jul city,
as well as the common rank and file
are right and fair.
It is perhaps presumptous on my
part, but | have asked for this space
in The Herald to speak briefly to my
old family of friends and Herald
readers in a personal way, taking the
responsibility for the things said. If
five years of earnest editorial work
for and with you have gained me a
degree of your confidence, I wish to
use it now. My work and my nature
have made me a close student of hu-
man nature and my business has
brought me into close touch with the
community. I think I know what |
am talking about. For the past five
weeks I have studied this campaign
and have been in close touch with
the campaign committee and have
twice visited the Eastend. The East
end and other parts are with us to
Clean House and get back to honest,
b~usinesslike county government, and
all around square deal. But they
expect US to do our part for we are
fighting a commo enemy.
This campaign IS q big movement,
no. a personal scrap. There is nc
sense in letting personal prejudice
or preference defeag Gur purpose.

ing of such deals. Many deals can
be covered up in the records but
some cannot Samples of the latter
are paying a private citizens dental
bill with a county warrant, paying
claims of county officials for auto
mobile travel at 25 cents per mile
and for meals at a dollar each
straight; failing to collect the 2R
per cent interest required by law
from a bank for the use of county
money until compelled to do so by
state authorities and then giving back
to the bank 1912 of the amount; fail
ing to protect county funds and so
loseing large amounts m unsafe
banks; allowing the treasurer to pay
warrants held by favored persons
ahead of their turns.
Great sums have been risked in
banks personally favored by the Off
Gals while stronger banks had only
small amounts. Unsecured cashiers
checks have been carried in the
treasurer's cash drawer for months.
In the case of one bank $4,000 of
such checks were carried three mon
tbs. They have been careless in the
matter of surety bonds. one official
being allowed to serve most of his
term without a bond. Yet the claim
is made that there has been no mis-
management and that they have done
nothing so very bad.
These officials do not hesitate 20
use their great power and the county
money to punish opponents and to
strengthen their own political forti-
f~cations. Instances of such are the
attempt to cut off Wolf Points South
side trade by putting its ferry out of
business, and moving the county fair
and buying a new site with a $4,000
county warrant. There was only $50
in the county fair fund and there a
be no fair this year, yet they can
abandon the old grounds and pur-
chase new-with an interest bearing
warrant.
No better evidence Of the guilt of

Two years ago the people were
warned of the danger of political
gangs and their methods. The con-
sequences of the failure to shake
loose from the clutches of corrup-
ton at that time have been far worse
than anticipated. In the little over
three years since the county vas ere
ated they have piled up warrants and
bonds to the sum of nearly a million
dollars, only a comparatively small
portion of which was inherited from
the mother county. What have We
to show for and offset such a sum?
The Federal government has helped
us to the extent of 100000 with
the start that has been made on high
ways.
Our debt keeps pace with our legal
limit of Indebtedness so what will it
do ten or fifteen years from now?
What encouragement will there be
to develop and improve property when
it means a growing tax bill and an
u~nreduced rate? Let the voters pom
der such questions well before they
cast their vote next Tuesday. Times
have been and still are hard, espec-
tally for the laborer, the mechanic
and the farmer, but the crafty build
ers of political strongholds have had
no mercy. They have not cut our
expense garments according to our
scanty supply of cloth, nor adjusted
the tax burden to the weakened beast
of burden.
On the contrary Commissioners
Patch and Weinrich have spent
money and issued warrants like
Rockefeller was paying the bills.
They have let road contracts to the
high bidder, bought gravel from
themselves at a round figure, sold
the county supplies at their own price,
bought thousands of dollars worth Of
supplies and printing for the county
at the sellers own price, allowing
competing concerns no chance. 1t

man nature to understand the mean

A STATEMENT BY
L. A. BROWN, CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY

Mr.. Voter and Taxpayer:
In asking your support at the

and 1 am glad to offer the following
for your consideration:
First of all, I believe it the prime
duty of every public official to u

The Battle of 1922

All parts of the State of Montana are waging a warm
primary campaign but Roosevelt county is fighting a bat
tie. When some future county historian takes up his work
he will pen chapter filled with interest and action when
he relates the battle of 1922. An issue just as big as our
county will be fought at the ballot box next Tuesday.
The issue does not hinge on whether Young or Patch
shall be commissioner, or Anderson or Macy sheriff, and
so on through the list. The issue hinges on whether this
county shall continue in the grip Of a clever and con
scienceless combine of officials and private citizens to be
robbed, exploited and converted to private ambitions. Let
us not deceive ourselves that Tuesdays battle will be to
a finish. The nomination of the "Cleanhouse' ticket will
be a knockout for Patch, Weinrich & Company but they
will still fight and still be dangerous. If the combine
should win, the battle will continue, for no issue is settled
until it is settled for right.

the peoples interest, and | promise
you that I will safeguard those in
terests faithfully, if | am elected.
Your vote and support is respect
fully solicited.
Respectfully yours,

Says Old Law The Best.

That the four inch horn law
recently repealed to substitute the
one year old buck law, should be
enacted is the opinion of Chairman
W. + Barber of the state conserva-
tion commission. Mr.. Barber be-
lieves that the four inch horn law
is the only safe line of demarcation
in distinguishing a fawn from a
year old deer.
There is no doubt in the minds
of the commission, said Mr.. Bar
Der, THAT we have plenty of deer
in Wisconsin and with a properly
observed buck law, deer hunting
will continue as long as we have
range and covers for the animals.
THE changing of the old law,
with horns 4 inches i'll length
could be taken, and providing that
bucks not less than one year of
age could be taken, caused a great
deal Of confusion. The four inch
horn law should be reestablished.
1t is the only safe line of demarca-
ton, distinguishing a fawn from a
year-old deer.

NCREASED2ORE MOVEMENT
PREDICTED THIS YEAR
sstimated That Four Million Tons of
Ore Will Be Shipped from Gogeb-
ic Range This Season.

Approximately q, 900, 900 tons OF
iron ore will be moved from the
Gogebic range mines to the Chicago
q Northwestern ore docks at Ash
Iand according to estimates made
for the Ashland division. This is
double the tonnage of ore moved
last year and if estimates are borne
on by actual developments, the in
creased ore movement will provide
employment for a mut h larger
number of railway workers than
could be given jobs in 1921. Ship
ments from mines to docks will be-
gin about the time that navigation
opens on the Great Lakes.
Last year the first ore boat ar
rived at Ashland on May 8. and
the last boat cleared OH November
20. The largest cargo was 1902
tons and the smallest 4,o32 tons.
Ihe average cargo was s, ,768 tons.
Iwo hundred and twenty nine boats
were loaded.

cord was in 1920, when 6,8s9, 600

SHOOTING AFFAIR AND
SUICIDE AT VAN BUSKIRK
Albert Abelson Shot During Quarrel by
Arvid Santti, Who Then
Hangs Himself.

The lifeless body of Arvid Santti.
a farmer near Van BuSkirk, was
found hanging from a ralter in his
home when authorities went to the
place to arrest Santti Monday morn
ing for shooting his friend, Albert
Abelson, another farmer i'll the Van
BuSkirk vicinity. Santti, it is be
lieved. committed suicide by hang.
ing himself after the shooting, pro
badly fearing the consequences of
his act.
Abelson lives OH a farm a short
distance west of Van Buskirk on
the road leading from the Town
Hall 20 South Carey. Santti lived
across the road from Abelson's 5
/ place. Late Sunday afternoon Abel
son went to Santtis place to call
for his friend, Mr.. Maxi. Santti
met him at the door and opened fire
on him with a revolver, although
but one shot was fired. Abelson fell
to the ground with bullet in The
left chest. 1t is believed that while
Abelson was lying unconscious on
the ground Santti struck him on
the head several times with blunt
instrument or a club, as there were
several wounds on Abelson's head
Following the shooting Maxi left
the place. Abelson regained cons.
Ciousness and was able to make
his way to his home. An Ironwood
physician was called and removed
the bullet from Abelson's chest and
sewed up the wounds in his head
The fact that the bullet struck a
rib and then glanced off and lodged
i'll the fleshy part of the chest is
probably what saved Abelson S life,
for had the bullet gone straight it
would have passed near the heart
1t is believed that AbeIson will re-
cover.
When District Attorney Warren
Foster, Sheriff John Morris and
Undersheriff Richard Kalliomaa
went to Santtrs place Monday
morning they found Santti's life
less body hanging from a rafter.
He had been dead several hours and
it is believed that he hung himself
Sunday night. Every indication
pointed to plain case of suicide,
according TO the authorities. Santti
evidently feared the consequences
of his act and rather than submit
to arrest took his own life.
No motive for the shooting is
known other than that Santti may
have held an imaginary grudge
against Abelson. Santti is said to
have shown signs of being mentally
unbalanced for some time. About
six weeks ago he shot twice at Abel /
son, but missed his mark, accord !
ing to facts brought ont by the att
thorities. Santti lived as a bachelor
and was about 90 years old He is
believed to have a wife in Finland /.
The body was brought to the local I
corners morgue but no inquest was
held, the authorities deeming an
inquest unnecessary.
