Anyway, the militia would tight. His
elan would do no more than that. He
satisfied his conscience quickly.
When they had reached the lower
end of the cleared valley, there came
10 them the sounds of slow firing. the
firing OF snipers. Each man kicked
his horses flanks and rode faster.
When they came in sight of the he
sieged building. they saw puffs Of pow

windows and from the mountain side
above and To the right. Again they
kicked the fianks of their horses and
rode faster.
At John Moreland's old cabin they
dismounted hastily and turned their
horses into the drab meadow. With
Dale still leading. they hurried on foot
10 the rivers nearest bank and went
rapidly, under cover OF the thickly-
standing sycamores, to point within
seventy yards of the Office and sup
plies building. Then they made dash
across the open space. and Ben Lit
tleford, with one arm bound up In a
red-stained blue bandsna. opened the
door for them.
"Who else is hurt?" painted Dale.

"and Saul. Little Tom, he got a bull

They'll get all they want of me-
Dale growled.
He turned and ran up the rough
stairway, and Ben Littleford and the
Morelands followed close upon his
heels. At the front and side windows,
behind anything they had been able
to find that would stop bullet, knelt

-Pinchot also had a large personal

Washington, May 21.-Wives OF
statesmen, both frivolous, social but
terfIy and the timid, shrinking domestic
drudges, are warned that unless they
get out and actively aid in their hus-
bands political campaigns they are
quite apt to become the wives of lame
ducks.
They are still blinking over the spec
tacular manner in which Mrs. Clifford
Pinchot helped her husband achieve a
most astounding triumph over a power
full ring. Only the wife of a politician
can truly understand just what it was
the Plnchots were up against ID
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Pinchot stumped
the state, asking women to make her
husband the republican nominee for
governor. And what's more, they did.
Even the ring politicians concede that

triumph" and that he vas able to

workers in every state are pointing to
the Pinchot victory as an example of
what the wife of a politician can ac-

II Wife Shirks, Others Will
"You can't expect women to get out
and work for your husband if you are
not willing to work for him yourself"
is the point that women political work
ers are seeking tactfully to impress
upon wives of politicians.
Woman workers are particularly
mitted with the attitude of a wife of

On the other hand. at the last weekly

Now it is realized that social position
has precious little influence where

campaign.

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
1922. BY Tho Great Falls Trihur

Copyright. 1922. BY The Great Falls Tribune
Harrisburg. Pa, May 21.-The old
republican organization in Pennsyl-
vania-the product of three genera
tons of political bosses, Quay, Gamer
or and Penrose-is shaking on it's
foundation today as a result of the
shattering blow it received Teusday,
when Clifford Pinchot, opposed by i'm
portant elements of the machine. won
the republican nomination for govern
or.
From the moment Wednesday when
returns indicated Pinchot would win
over Attorney General George E. Alter,
there was a scurrying of political lead
ers from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to
get under the banner of the former
state forester. Today it is hard to
find an Alter man left. In fact, the
parade started primary day when
Buck Devlin, one-time Penrose lieu
tenant in Philadelphia, threw his forces
away from the machine candidate.
Election of Forester Conceded
Pinchot's election in November is a
foregone conclusion. 1t certainly is
made even more certain by the steady
rush of the old organization to back
him up. Throughout the state since
the primary. the leaders have been
openly proclaiming their support.
Governor William c. Sproul. who
was openly an advocate of Alter. Of
fered his support to Pinchot as soon
as the forester's nomination was con-
nounced.
SprouI and Baker Left Out
Just where the old organization will
get off. however. is a question. Had
Alter been nominated Sproul was to
have been backed for the late Senator
Penrose's place upon the national
committee and w. Harry Baker was
to have received the organizations sup
port for state committee chairman, a
post now held by United States Sena-
tor William E. Crow, who has been
sick for some time.
Not until the meeting of the state
committee. June IA. will the fate of
the old guard machine be determined.
Election of either Sproul or Baker is
not considered probable.
Displacing of Sproul and Baker will
mean the end of the old Penrose ma
chine. Pinchot is expected to avail
himself Of the present organization,
however. and be content in giving ii n
new coat of paint and placing a new
crew on board.

ARTICLE No. S.

o In article No. 81 it was said that the Amer
lean people are ready and anxious to cooperate
with the captains of industry. But this time it
must be intelligent and understanding coopera-
ton.
This is an exact psychological conclusion, and
one of the ultimates of the economic transfer
nation of the past four years. And this fact
is very applicable to Great Falls. There are
more than three million dollars of idle capital in
this city, a large part of which is ready for
investment in Great Falls enterprises.
But the owners of this capital want to know
three things:
/. That the capital which they invest is
safely invested.
2. That it will be reasonably profitable.
3. And that some one who knows is making
sure the safety and profit of their investment.
Well, this last is one of the purposes of my
Company, The Montana Organization and De-
velopment Company. And this is how we pro-
pose to fulfill this purpose in respect to the
Wood & Stafford Company.
On July LIST the Wood & Stafford Co. will
commence paying dividends monthly on its
Preferred Stock.
And to any purchaser of Wood & Stafford
Stock who purchases shares during the current
,'onth of May, the Montana Organization and
%velopment will guarantee a dividend of not
s than two per cent per month, commencing
lly 1st, and if the Wood & Stafford Company
Iails to earn a dividend of that amount-and
we know they will not fail-then The Montana
Organization and Development Company will,
upon thirty days notice, take up such stock at
par and 1919 interest.
This proposition is made for ten days only. In
