Butte Post: Senator Walsh came
all the way from his Massachusetts,
home to Butte to tell US that, in his
opinion, the Harding administration
isn't very good. He is chairman of
the Democratic senatorial campaign
committee, and his own campaigning
in Montana was a one-night stand
he came up here from Utah yesterday
afternoon, and he went back, over the
Short Line, early this morning. The
community is not aware that during
the hours of his personal presence in
Montana he said a word or gave a hint
in favor of Mr.. Wheeler for the Of
flee of federal senator.
Senator Walsh brought to us the
information that the Wilson admins
tration was excellence in itself in all
that related to domestic administra-
ton, and also to the conduct Of the
war. And that was news; we Mon
tanans never understood it that way.
Of course he had to admit that the
postwar antics of wisconsin were
wretched. He himself was active and

WHEELER, POLITICAL ACROBAT

Burton X. Wheeler is a political
acrobat this campaign than whom
there is no whomer, as the humorist
says. He is supported by the Butte
Miner and the Helena Independent,
dyed-in-the-wool conservative papers
of the special interests. The Miner
and Independent declare that Wheeler
is a grand gentleman, safe and sane,
on the reservation, and a Democrat
with Bourbon in his coat of arms.
On the other hand the Billings
Searchlight and the Missoula New
Northwest, radical newspapers of the
most pronounced type, agin the gov
eminent, agin the established order,
champeens of unionism, labor and the
peoples rights, are also supporting
Wheeler, and they declare that he is
with 'em, body and soul, and will go
down to Washington and stand the
privileged interests, the trusts, the
money power. Wall street, and all the
rest of the reactionary shebang on
it's head.
Now, it should occur to the people
of Montana, who have plenty of COM
mon sense, to ask which of these ele-
ments, the radical revolutionaries or
the radical r~eactionaries, is Mr.. Wheel
err for in his heart. If he is sent to
Washington as senator from Montana,
will he stand with the money power
and keep the people under the yoke Of
servitude the Searchlight and the New
Northwest declare daily they are bear
ing, or will he just everlastingly
knock the money power galley west
and remove the yoke from our weary
necks? Which will he do, we ask.
He must be for one of these ele-
ments or the other. He cannot be for
both. The New Northwest and the
Helena Independent are as opposed
economically and politically as fire
and water. The Billings Searchlight
and the Butte Miner are antipodal in
all their social views. Wheeler, in
the nature Of things, must be as
false as Lucifer to one if he is as
true as ST. Paul to the other. Which
is this gentlemanly, but acrobatic, pol
itician's true love? The people of
Montana ask and would like to know.
Furthermore, where do the people
of Montana, now asked to vote Wheel
err into office, stand in this matter?
Wheeler is for the radical and for the
reactionaries, for the labor people and
for the money power, but the Montana
people are for neither.

Politics makes strange bed fellows,
but never stranger than the present
aggregation occupying the Democratic
state bed with fingers crossed and one
eye open. Two years ago B. X. Wheel
err was Nonpartisan candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, but
the Butte Miner, Helena Independent
and Great Falls Tribune refused to
support him in his candidacy. This
year the same B. K. Wheeler is DEM
ocratic candidate for United States
senator and the same papers are sup
porting him enthusiastically with
crossed fingers, and hurting personal
abuse at Carl Riddick, Republican
congressman for the Second district,
and candidate for United States SEN
ator.
Two years ago, MI. Wheeler abused
the Democratic press mentioned, from
Dan to Beersheba, from Mondak to
Monida, and the press cheerfully re-
c%iprocated in kind-only it is but fair
to state that no press yet provided

Mr. Rogers, in his statement, calls attention to the effect that the area of the
county, may have or the cot of government. This is selfevident as it would unuues-
tonably be less expensive to administer the affairs of the county if they we're confined
within a n area If 1000 square, miles instead of being s0ttred over an area If over
5000 square miles, as they are in Valley county, Abo you will note that all Of the
counties, where the per capita cost is lower than in Valley county, there is only one
Big Horn county-which has al aea even approximately as large as Valley county,
and their per capita cost is only 10 cents lower than in this county,
The lowest cost is in Deer Lodge county with al area of 746 square miles and
a population of 1898, and in checking over the list We find that in practically every
case, where the cost is below $l414, there is a comparatively small area with a large
population.
These facts considered, the showing made by Valley county officials is very
gratifying and deserving of commentator.
That the cst of conducting county governments has increased in the last five
years cannot be denied, for when our individual cost of living was increased through
high pricest the costo of government likewise, necessarily increased in proportion This
is not only true of county governments, but applies to all Cities school districts States
and ever to our national government
One other point the taxpayer should bear in mind is, that while he pays all his
tt the county treasurer, that the county treasurer acts only as a trustee for the
greater portion of it, over half of the total amount paid to him being money over
which the county officials have no conrolw whatever only that they must levy and
collect the tax and then pay it. out on the order of someone other than the county Of
this character of levy exceeded by $32436S7 the total of all leHes for all other county
purposes.
It will be noted for comparison purposes that Garfield county, just to the south
of u.s. has Der capita cost OF $4,000 as against our $1414

WILL WIN

With every paper that the big in
terests in the state control attacking
Congressman Riddick, we may look TO,
him to win tn race for United States
senator in a walk. Riddick has stood
for the things that he believes will
be Of the greatest benefit to the peo-
pie Of Montana and for that reason
has not built himself up with the spe'
Gai interests. Farmers should look
into the support that B. X. Wheeler
is receiving in this campaign. The
facts will convince them that theil
emily course is to DIRK for, vote for
and boost for Carl w. Riddick, who
wants to go to Washington to rep
resent agricultural Montana.

STOPPING TO DIRTY POLITICS

The Democratic dailies of the state
are working pretty much in concert
these days in their attacks upon Mr..
Riddick. There was apparently a
frame-up between these papers and
al agreed program as to the manner
of attack. Even a blind man could
see all that. Almost each day they
sing in harmony. That is. sweet har-
mony to them, although it has be-
come ~nauseating to thousands of their
readers long before this.
Now, the central purpose of their
effort is to belittle the ability and &C
complishments of MI. Riddick. This
has become an obsession with them.
In the pursuit of that purpose they
have violated every rule of editorial
propriety and often times have verged
upon the indecent. Nothing seems too
small or too contemplate for these
leading editors" to spread upon their
pages, if only by some imaginary
thread they can hang it around the
neck of Mr.. Riddick. They have been
unfair in the extreme and shown a
total absence of that spirit of sports
manship, which an American extends
to his worst enemy. They have made
statements in disparagement and
brought charges without end against
Mr.. Riddick, yet have failed utterly
in setting out even a semblance of
evidence to sustain them. These
newspapers evidently are laboring UNI
der the assumption that they need
but make an assertion and the people
will swallow it whole. We predict,
they are due for an awful jar in this
respect.
The Great Falls Tribune contends
that Mr.. Riddick is at heart a firm
friend of the N%onpartisan League,
meaning by that, we presume, that he
stands upon the socialistic doctrines
imposed upon the league by it's pro-
ponents. Yet the Tribune fails to bring
forth n atom of evidence to sus-
tain such an assertion. Were such
the Ease it would not be difficult to
prove. Mr.. Riddick's record is the
best evidence. And that record is
public property. During his two
terms in congress, Mr.. Riddick has
been a member of several of the more
important committees. He has been
prominently identified with numerous
measures Of vital Importance to the
people of Montana and the nation.
Perhaps the Tribune is ignorant of the
legislation in which Mr.. Riddick has
taken an important part. If so, we
recommend a little research. Then
we challenge the Tribune and the
rest of the Democratic dailies to in
dictate where in a busy four years in
congress, MI. Riddick has even shown
a leaning to any sort of socialistic
doctrine. If Mr.. Riddick has not la
bored and voted for clean cut, sound
wise legislation, builded upon real
American principles, we want to know
it. And we are asking the Tribune tc
point it out.

less to do aught but complain and find
fault" Mr.. Riddick concluded.
Attorney General Rankin spoke
upon the achievements of the Repub-
lican congress. He praised Congress-
man Riddick for his part in the o n
structive work of the Republican con-
gress during the last four years, and
of the record he has made for close
application to the strenuous demands
of the constituents of the largest con-
g~ressional district in the United
States.
Mr.. Leavitt called attention to the
endeavor to tear down the supreme
court and to substitute unsound issues
for A~mericanism by Socialists who are
only masquerading under Of
such high sounding names as "a con-
ference for progressive political &C.

FARMERS NEED REPRESENTA-.

tai, RIDDICK SAYS

Congressman Carl w. Riddick, Re-
publican nominee for United States
senator; Scott Leavitt, Republican
nominee for congressman in the Sec
ond Montana district, and Attorney
General Wellington D. Rankin, ad-
dressed an immense crowd in a large
garage at Sidney Saturday night, dis
cussing the issues of the present po-
litical campaign.
Congressman Riddick closed the
meeting with a brief but intensely
practical talk to the audience, which
was largely composed of farmers, to
the effect that importers, railroads,
shipping interests and all large lines
of industry have representatives in
congress looking jealousy after leg
i~slation that protects or aids them,
Farming, Mr.. Riddick declared, is the
biggest business in America, and he
contended that farmers must send ex-
perts to congress to give special at
tention to agricultural needs.
"In Richland county 80 per cent OF
your irrigation farmers are about to
lose their land, and your community
is facing ruin because of impractical
legislation requiring payments that

The man who is elected United

fact, there are too many orators in

Riddick wastes no time on oratory,
But pushes all the time for measures
