case YOU have in mind in which
we failed to secure a convection
was the bootlegging case of Tom
Lindsey. You were in the dis
trict courtroom when this case
was tried. During a recess you
went to a table in the courtroom
and tasted the contents of a bot
tie which had been introduced as
evidence. Later you conveyed
through the defendant to his at
torney the announcement that in
your opinion the evidence was
not moonshine whiskey but in
stead was bonded goods.
Is this the kind of cooperation
the citizens of Idaho county have
a right to expect from a former
sheriff? Were you assisting the
officials of Idaho county in the
endorsements of the prohibition
laws when you did this!
The records will show that
not all the persons you arrested
as sheriff were convicted. AS a
private citizen, too, you have
been woefully weak as a convic-
ter. You were the complaining
witness in the case of the State
VS.. Burgund, and despite your
proves and experience as an ex-
sheriff, a jury in the district
court after fair trial declined to
convict Mr.. Burgund. Recently
this case was dismissed upon mo-
ton of the state.
These are facts as the records
at the court house will prove

WON'T STAND VOL. STEAD'S
TEST.

In an article appearing in
several county papers, fathered
and signed by j. G. Eimers, our
present sheriff, again repeating
and publishing the same figures
that appeared before, all doctor
ed up to fit the occasion, at the
twelfth hour, when it appeared
there would be no chance for me
to refute.
Now, Jake, What's the use ?
If the people wouldn't believe
your figures before, it won't do
any good to shoot them out
again. Your figures are all
right as far as they go, but
they don't go far enough; you
only give the figures where
yours are low and mine are high,
instead of giving them all as |
did. Auditor Telcher gave them
to me, taken from the records
and Henry Telcher won't lie.
Now Jake, you want to gamble
with me--want to put up $500,
which is not right, as | am not a
gambling man, and besides you
as sheriff should try to prohibit
gambling instead of encourag-
ing it.
You spoke of me spending
500 for auto hire, going to a
Fourth of July celebration. You
certainly have had a swivel-chair
pipe dream, for that is not true,
and the records do not show it.
You also accuse me of tasting
the booze in the Lindsey case,
which is not true, but will say
this, that you and your deputies
went away and left the "evid-
ence" sitting on the table in the
court room, with no one watch
ing and no doubt Tom Lindsey
did switch bottles on you-at
least I heard he did but that was
carelessness on your part, and nc
fault of mine.
And another blunder you tried
to unload on me, is the Burgund
horse stealing case. In that
case | simply made the complaint
at the suggestion of Mr.. Anger,
and you and your deputies, in
stead of helping me get the evil
dence, had to stay in town and
keep your chairs warm, so the
state lost the case.
And in the notorious Page case
where you now censure me fol
signing his bond on your recon-.
mendation, and upon the insist.
! ency of yourself and Mr.. Hatta

baugh, the attorney for Mr..
Page, / finally consented TO sign
the bond and while doing this, /
helped to persuade Page to plead
guilty to the charge, and save
the county the expense of a trial.
Now Jake, you have several
months yet to serve as sheriff,
so why don't you loosen up a
little and do something? If /
were you, would go over to
Cottonwood and serve that war;
rant that has been lying there
for six weeks in Judge Huss-
mans office, signed by one of
our best citizens.

operating the office has been ST.

years just previous,-1913-14-

was $7,0S2.43. This is a matter
Of record and can be verified by
anyone, but in justice to the as
SCISSOR who filled the office most
creditably from Is to 16, | wish
to state that the average for his
term was brough up appreciably
by reason of the fact that a COM
ple.e set of plat and record books
were installed which together
with the services of a draught-
man run the cost of these records
up considerably.
| would ask you to bear in
mind this fact: That | have
operated this office under war
time conditions and prices, and
| believe the comparison on the
other side is worthy of consider
able thought. For example: The
county tax rolls have jumped
from Sl79.50 in 1915 to $444.15
in 1921. Nine hundred automo-
hiles are now licensed while prior
to 1917 this item was merely
negligible. The securing of
farm data, a war time law, has
been added to the work of the
field deputies, thereby adding
considerable time to the field
work. Many other items could
be mentioned that go far to-
wards the increased cost of oper-
alton.
There is much said concerning
high taxes at the present time.
/ will agree with you, taxes are
excessive. this | know from ac-
tual experience, being a tax pay
er myself. But when we consi-
der that of all the money passing
through the treasurer's office
only 6 per cent is paid out in
salaries, it is unreasonable to
think that a reduction of tax can
be accomplished simply by the
exchange of officers, which is
not only an exchange of officers,
but an exchange of efficiency
and experience for inexperience.
have this to promise if elect
ed: To conduct the office as
carefully and with as little ex-
pense as it can be done by any
one. And let me assure you that

lowered as you are.

to the extent of giving you a

Assessor.
Calvin Hazelbaker has been
assessor of Idaho county for two
terms. He has made a good
assessor. There have been very
few complaints Of unjust assess
ment because he has many years
acquaintance with property val
ues in Idaho county. He is faith
full to the duties of the office.
He deserves to be reelected.
Probate Judge.
We all know Judge Byron.
He has filled the office of pro-
bate Judge for two years with
satisfaction to everyone. He has
been constantly on duty. He
will stay on duty as long as the
people want to have him there.
He has been in Idaho county
since the very early pioneer days.
He will unquestionably be
chosen to look after the Interests
Of those who need protection.

Elmer L. Carpenter was an
efficient County Superintendent
in Idaho County many years ago.
No one doubts his efficiency or

Prosecuting Attorney.
For the office of Prosecuting
Attorney we again present the
name of b. Anger. He has served
the county well during the last
four years. He understands the
law and its interpretations and
is fearless in the prosecution of
criminals. He is a Republican
who has consistently lined up
with the forces which mean pro-
gress. The Republican party
feels that it can points with pride
to his record Of efficiency during
the last few years.

this place. He can without in

is a point we'll worth considering
in the selection of this official.

that it will be shown that the
voters have reposed confidence
again in The Republican, party
and its candidates. 1t is qucs-
ton of Stability versus Radical

SNOW WHITE WOLF
LEADER OF PACK
LAYS HEAVY TOLL OF STOCK
MEN OF THE HOLLYWOOD,
MOUNTAIN COUNTRY.
Is We ry Clever in Evading the Skilled
Government Hunters; His Family
of Whelps Captured but he and
Mate Escape; 100 Traps set for
Him.

"Old Snowdrift''-as he is desig-
mated by Stacy Eckert, district forest
ranger at Highwood, Mont, is a snow
white timber wolf of exceptional size
and beauty. Also he is very clever.
For almost a year this handsome
rogue has dealt havoc to the stock
growers of the Highwood vicinity,
leading packs of hungry wolves even
into the corrals to carry on their
destructive work. Every possible eff
fort has been made to capture this
cunning leader and his followers.
Large sums of money have been
spent for bounties," states M. Eckert,
"and the most skilled %trappers of the
United States biological survey have
lent their assistance, employing every
art known to that department. Hun
dreds of the big United States wolf
traps have been concealed in the
trails of the wolves and dead shots
have penetrated the most remote
places in search of the killer. AL
though the United States biological
survey has been very successful in
its work, at times the blood-chilling
howl of a distant lone wolf reminds
the ranchers that they may yet ex-
pect an attack or their livestock"
Captured the Pups.
Last spring "Old Snowdrift" found
a mate and they established a home
in a secluded spot on the north fork
of Highwood creek. The family con-
sisted of seven puppies, the mother,
a "nurse-girl' (year old female), and
the old white fellow himself. So
clever were the wolves hat although
their den was within three miles of
human habitation they were not dis
covered until the puppies we're two
months old. To avoid detection they
crossed the range of mountains and
did their killing on the head of Arrow
and Martin creeks. 1t was a long
trip over rough mountains, but 1t af-
forded security to the little ones at
home, for "O1d Snowdrift" evidently
knew that a killing near the den
would arouse suspicion. Tracks were
found within 200 yards of a well
travelled road, yet no trails or roads
were crossed by wolves during the
spring.
In spite of his cunning, however,
"Old Snowdrift's" den was discovered
one day by a rancher who, with the
assistance of Mr.. Eckert, took out
the puppies, But" says the latter,
1.-THE Mr.. and Mrs. got away easy.
Two of the puppies were taken home
by the forest ranger who is quite a
student of nature. So playful and do
cile have these little fellows become
that they are boon companions of
baby Stacy Eckert.
At present there are 100 traps set
for "Old Snowdrift," An expert trap
per is on his trail. Yet he stands on
four unframed feet, ever ready and
alert to pull down the choicest veal,
and at the same time to evade the
trap or rifle bullet that may await
him at any time.

the company, its first venture into
eastern Montana, and is designed
to furnish power to Billings, Lew
istown, Livingston, Bozeman, Col
umbus, Roundup, Harlowton and
other towns in southeastern Mon
tana.
John d. Ryan, president of the
company, F. M. Kerr, vice president
and general manager, and the COM
pany directorate, are looking ahead
to the industrial growth of the east
ern part of the state, and have an
ticipated this development by appro-
priating funds and beginning work
on this new plant at Mystic lake., the
source of the west fork of the Rose
bud river.
The possible enlargement of coal
mining operations at Red Lodge, Bear
Creek and Roundup, the extension OF
electrified railroads. the bringing OF
cheap, natural gas to Billings with
the possibility of its attracting large
manufacturing enterprises and, in
short, the eventual realization OF an
expanding industrial program for all
of central and eastern Montana, have
undoubtedly been contributing fac
tors In their decision. But it is also
a fact that the company Is strength
ening, improving and charging It's
service because of its sense OF respon-
sibility as a public service corporation
to all it's patrons in all parts OF the
state. The money is actually being
spent, and the undertaking is being
made a reality, long before there is
prospect of a return on the IN
vestment.
