CLEAN POLITICS.

Taken as a whole, the political campaign just
ending in Gallatin county has been clean. The
men who are running in opposition to each other
for the different offices are most of them good
friends and while putting up hard campaigns, have
r~efrained from the bitter rancOr and abuse which
SO often marks the difference between political
opinions and opponents.
Early in the campaign the Republican party
managers decided to follow this course, to base
their appeal to the voters on the strength of
their policies and their candidates, rather than to
resort to personalities and innuendo. In justice
to the Democratic candidates, or the majority of
them, it is only fair to say they have followed the
same course.
In the campaign now closing there has been
one glazing exception to this rule on the part
of the Democratic party. We refer to the race
for sheriff. In the foregoing we say Democratic
party" because we refer to certain members of it
who have had a deal to do with the campaign.
AS early as the primary election certain malicious
and misleading falsehoods were put in circulation
against the Republican candidate for sheriff. 1t
is certain such reports did not emanate from Re-
publican ranks. These slanderous reports have
been continued up to the present time. The Re-
publican party managers have known of these
things for many weeks, in fact two weeks ago
they served notice on the Democratic central
committee to that effect. And now comes the
finishing touch of it all, and editorial in the local
democratic sheet, an editorial which is nothing
more or less than a clumsy attempt to insinuate
that the Republican candidate for sheriff was un-
fit for the office of chief of police in Bozeman.
There is no other way to take this editorial.
In one place it states, "The issue was injected by

necessity make them but witnesses on
the sidelines of the real battle. With
out in any way ~inferring that the
three Democratic candidates for the
legislature from Gallatin county are
influenced by the interests of the
state, we reiterate that the real issue
is that of the common people against
the moneyed interests of Montana.
Are you going to vote for men
without a platform, men who have
pledged themselves to no particular
course of action, men who may work
on the side of the people, or again,
who may through misguided and
fanatical politics, vote with the inter-
ests, or are you going to vote for
che three who proved through their
actions two years ago that they are
lined up on the right side Of the
fight?

the Republican organ, making an unwarranted
attack upon the city commissioners . -" Nothing
was said about. the city commissioners in the
Courier, either by inference or any other way.
The city commissioners had nothing whatever to
do with the appointment of a new chief of police.
This is entirely in the hands of the city man
ager, the law states so clearly. The attempt on
the part of the Chronicle to make political capital
by bringing in the city commissioners is so far
fetched as to be rather Iudicrous.
We have no desire to inject city affairs into
this campaign, but in justice to the voters of this
county we do resent the attempt on the part of
the Chronicle to twist an explanatory statement
by Mayor Hall into an inference derogatory to the
Republican candidate for sheriff.

H. 1. 20

Candidate for Public Administrator
Henry Jacobs is known to every
one in Bozeman, if not the entire val
ley. For years he was associated
with George Chavey in the Vogue
clothing store. He was prominent in
the w. o. W., and a leading factor
in the success of the Cheer Up Club
of that order. Quitting the mercan-
tile business, he later acquired the
old G. j. Sears real estate business,
where he is today. Enjoying the con-
fidence of his host Of friends quail
fled by past experience to handle
public money, Mr.. Jacobs brings ex-
ceptional ability to the office he
seeks.

Candidate for County Surveyor

N6AANA0NS " OOAAASJ 0AA NNsOA "
When S. D. Waldorf was elected
county surveyor two years ago he
was something of an unknown guam
tity, for living as he had been in
Three Forks, he was more or less a
stranger to the people Of this end Of
the valley. The campaign this year
will be entirely different as far as
Mr.. Waldorf is concerned. He is a
graduate Of Purdue university, where
he received his degree in civil engi-
neering and has proved himself to be
thoroughly competent and has more
than made good in his office. He has
saved the county many times his sal
airy ard should be elected by a sub
stantial majority, irrespective Of how
the county goes.

L E ASSURANCES.

Speaking of the allied debts to the
United States, Secretary Hoover
says: "These loans made at the
urgent request of the borrowers and
under their solemn assurances of re-
payment" Times have changed. and
now we are receiving urgent re-
quests for their cancellation, accom-
panied by solemn assurances from
some countries that they can never
be repaid.

E. A. FRANKS

Candidate for Justice of the Peace.
Appointed first by Mayor Sweet,
elected at the next election, and since
that time the most active justice
Bozeman has ever had, E. A. Franks
deserves another term. His expert
ence the past two years has given
him a better knowledge of the state
laws and his decisions are seldom re-
versed. Through his work, the Of
flee of justice has become a real fac
tor in Bozeman affairs. Mr.. Franks
devotes his whole time to the office
and if real merit deserves recogni-
ton, will be reelected by a big ma
jority.

GdIlatin Republicans Offer
Strong Ticket To County Voters

In this latter day, politics differ
from what they were a generation
ago. Then, even in local affairs, it
was a matter of voting a straight
ticket. You were either a Republican
or a Democrat, and you supported
your ticket to the bitter end. But
of late years party lines have be-
come less and less clearly differen-
tiated insofar as county affairs go.
We vote more for the mar and less
for the party in reference to county
offices. In some ways this is a step
in the right direction-in others it is
not. Naturally we want the best
men possible in our county offices,
regardless of their political affilia-
ticns, but when one particular party
uses its mineral superiority in the
court house to handicap and hinder
the other county officials of different
political faith, as has been the course
pursued by the Democrats in Gala
tin county the past few years, it is
time to call a halt.
With this point in mind, as well as
the individual superiority of the Re
publican candidates over their Demo-
cratic opponents, the Republican
party of Gallatin county asks for the
support Of it's whole county ticket.
There are in reality two divisions
OF the county ticket to be cOnsidere,
at this time. The first pertains t
the election of legislators to go :
Helena this winter, the other relate
10 the administration of Gallatin at
fairs. The first has already bee
discussed to some length in thes
columns. The situation in the stat
this year is bigger than mere part
lines. 1t is no longer a Republica
and Democratic contest. The who'll
fight centers on the Dixon progral
for tax equilization-the commo
people Of the state VS.. the vested IL
terests. Of the ability, the intes
rity and the usefulness Of the RI
publican candidates for the legisl;
ture we need not speak. Their stan'
ing as citizens of this county is Il
well known to everyone in the Galli
tin to warrant discussion here. 4

assembly, they are in thorough syn

structive legislators who are ear
estly endeavoring to tighten the a
burdens of Montana, and who the
oughly believe in the equalization
taxes. Their opponents are likewi
good men, though in some ase ws
fully misguided, as the statemer
of Mr.. Carlson, repeated time q
again in this county, adequats
prove. We fail to see what GO

ton Of any one Of these men,

Mr.. Taylor has been in the Gallatin

the time as a contractor and corpen-
ter. For the past few years he has
been farming near Bozeman. He has
a thorough knowledge of bookkeep-
ing, and is well versed on all farm
values, and is in every way a COM
petent nan for county assessor. Mr..

Candidate for County Attorney
Mr.. Stephenson came to Belgrade
in 1912, and was three years at the
head of the city schools. In 1915 he
passed his bar examinations, and with
the exception of two years spent in
M~issoula, has been practicing in Bel
grade ever since. A college graduate,
a man with an enviable reputation as
n of the coming lawyers of the
county and one who stands for the
strict enforcement of the laws as they
are written, Nh. Stephenson will
make a good county attorney.

NOT A ~''HENCHMAN."

Our good friend, John L~ovelace, called at the
Courier office to inform this newspaper that he
objects to the editorial squib in last weeks issue
of the Bozeman Courier, and that he is not a
"henchman." That we might know what a terri
BILE, wicked person a henchman is, he furnished
us with a typewriter definition taken from a
Webster dictionary. 1t reads as follows:
Northumberland dictionary: An inferior or
assistant in some servile work; especially in
politics in the United States, a venaI follower
of a boss or politician.
Servile: A slave, a mental; a servant or hired
worker.
VenaI: Ready to be bought for money or other
consideration, and entirely from sordid mo-
tives; ready to be bought over for lucre; mer-
cenary, hireling; sOrdid.
Anyone who knows John Lovelace is well
aware of the fact that he is far from being the
henchman described above, and by the same token,
readers of this paper know that we would not
put him in that classification.
1t is a common practice in discussing the action
of any person who is supporting any political
candidate or political movement, to refer to that
person as a "henchman'' of that political candidate
or political movement. Especially is this so in
news writing, as our friend John Lovelace has
no doubt observed in reading the Butte Miner OF
Helena Independent. However, The Courier is
willing to accept Johns statement and agree with
him. To prevent him from spending any more
sleepless nights worrying about it, the Courier is
pleased to say that John Lovelace is not the
henchman described in Webster's dictionary.

alleged that Castro had stolen a disk
harrow from Tom Thurstain and had
driven 20 miles out on the desert to
the ranch of Joe Montoya. According
to evidence presented, the tracks of

where it was found on the Montoya
ranch. However the evidence was
such that a conviction could not be
had nd Castro was discharged.

PEN|TENT|ARY IS To
HAVE SHOE FACTORY

A shoe factory will be put in oper-
alton at the Arizona state peniten-
tiary at Florence within the next
month, according to the announce
ment made yesterday by Burt Win
gar. secretary of the board of di~
rectors OF state institutions.
The machinery was ordered by Mr..
Wingar yesterday at a cost to the
state of S5.000-just one-half the
amount paid for shoes in year for
the inmates of the various state
institutions. William Moore Clayton,
at present in charge of the shoe re-
pair work at the Fort Grant indus
trial school, will have the manage
ment Of the factory. Except for the
salary paid, Mr.. Clayton, who is an
expert shoe man. there will be no
salaries paid, as the entire work
win be done by the prisoners.
Heretofore there has. been shoe
manufacturing at the prison in a
primitive way, but for SON time the
idea of factory as a saving TO the
state has been recognized. The
manufacture will not be restricted TO
mems shoes. but women and children
who are wards of the state also will
be furnished with the prison made
shoes. The prison, state hospital,
Industrial school and Pioneer home
will receives its supply of footwear
from the factory.
In another four weeks the ma
chinery will be installed and the
men at work, Mr.. Wingarl believes,
The factory win be housed in Sec
ton Of the penitentiary not now
being used.
The yearly cost of shoes to the
state has been between $4,000 and
$4,000. the shoes having been
bought locally.
