 Take Abrupt Twist

TTe1ena( Mont, oct 27-The pen dulum of politics in Montana mas swung back, and it has swung back hard. was the Democratic candidate for governor His nomination had been brought about by the Non-Parusan League and the farmer-labor element uniting their forces to capture the Democratic primaries. They succeed ed in naming every man on the Demo cratic State ticket. Wheeler was at the head of the ticket. He was the onIv man on 1t whose democracy was unquestioned. Many of the candl- dates on the ticket were either With out any set political affiliations or had been counted upon as Republicans.
 Democrats generally were not en- thusiastic about the State ticket. Many were openly opposed. united States Senator Henry l.: Myers took the stump against the ticket, although twice elected to his position as Demo- crat The Democratic ticket was de- feated badly, Joseph M. Dixon, the Republican candidate, being elected governor.
 This year a United States senator is to be elected to succeed Senator My CTS. In the April primaries Wheeler ran for the Democratic nomination for that office in field of four He got the nomination, receiving more votes than all three of his competitors com petitors combined. Should he be

Riddick won the nom- ination on a platform of support of all the national administration policies and he Is making the same fight in the election campaign.

 Over in East Lansing stands pretty little bungalow pointed out by passersby as a monument to its build er's cIeverness. The house was erect ed by Fred Witt with material stolen, he admitted, from various contracting jobs about the city. Everything that went into it's makeup, from cement blocks for the foundation to weights for the windows was borrowed" dur ing the night time.

It would be hard to identify shingle or a piece of siding, but the rightfu1 owner of the furniture recognized his property.
