Labor Premier's Wishes Met
With Full Courtesy by King
Govt. Party Believes
Wave of Popularity Has Not
Waned And Will Carry It
Through to Victory

London. Oct. s.-tBy A.. P.)-Events
following the governments defeat last
night have moved with quite unusual
expedition. The prime minister early
today obtained royal assent to the dis
solution Of parliament. which was pro-
roEued with the usual formalities to-
night, and Immediately dissolved by
the kings proclamation. the privy
council for these formalities meeting at
the unusual hour Of Z o'clock In the
evening.
Tho king. as always. omitted no
courtesy In meeting the Labor pre-
mier's wishes. despite the fact that
the unaccustumed haste to get the for
malitics provided for by law and Gus
tom through II somewhat of Il novelty.
|, Premier Macl'on3ld had two reasons
for advancing the date of the elections
as much as possiblc--frst, a desire to
avoid Inconvenience to tho business
community and public interests gener-
ally. and, second the necessity of hold
Ing the general elections on some date
which would not conflict with the Eng
llsh municipal elections, scheduled for
Novemberj1.
Mr.. Macdonald and his parties con-
ceive themselves rs on n wave of pop
ularity and therefore considered it ad :
visable to hasten the elections to the
utmost.
The date has been fixed for Wednes-
day. Oct. 20, and this choice was only
possible through the houes of lords
adopting the Irish bill unamended
So far as the elections are concerned.
Ireland is out of the picture. There is.
In fact. no great question to place be-
fore the electors. All the parties adj
NIT that the Campbell case Is no que.-
ton for an appeal to the country.
hence the Conservatives and Liberal g
will thrust forward the qucstio ion of n

This. however. is not the sort of an
issue to excite the electorate greatly

The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-02-21

Independents story, that the Hon. George A. Horkan has
rendered his decision and that it is emphatically in favor
of Wolf Point, defendant in the famous county seat case
brought by DR.. j. [. Atkinson of Poplar as plaintiff.
The Standard has yelled itself hoarse ever since the
1922, election about the shameless corruption
practiced by Wolf Point during the campaign and at the
polls, but after a preliminary hearing and a trial lasting
more than a month, that included the most thorough probe
into Wolf Points votes and a brief and superficial one
into Poplar's votes and methods, the court finds a greater
number to charge off against Poplar than against Wolf
lar was not qualified to seek redress in the court of equity
because their hands were not clean. By their own testi-
mony they are convicted of the same things, and all of
them, as they charged against their opponent. So the
court says that he finds the votes cast and worthy to be
counted to be 1887 for Wolf Point and 1870 for Poplar.
The net result of this tedious and expensive action at
law is a gain of five in Wolf Points majority. leaving a
difference of 1877. We hesitate to place even an estimate
upon the amount that this futile and useless LITIGATION has
cost the citizens of Poplar. They know only too well how
much they have paid, how much they owe and how much
they still must raise to continue this stubborn STRUGGLE
born of the spite and malice that a few wouId-be poll
tcians will not allow to die.
The determination and loyalty of the people of Poplar.
of whom are just as fine as dwell in anv town. would
be admirable if it were not so pitiful. It is STRANGE that
most of them refuse to look facts in the face such ac these:
AS a result of the operations of Poplar's Superior
politicians, they konW that Wolf Point won a COMPARE
lively easy victory in a red-hot but fair-sQuare fight. One
hundred ninety seven votes is a majority that the LAWYERS
cannot do away with no matter how high their fees. Now
that majority is confirmed after a long trial, but still their
leaders ask the patient people Of Poplar to struggle
through the mire of costs and debts, with the only pros
pect in sight the postponement of that bitter day when
final defeat must be faced.

THE COST OF POOR LEADERSHIP

Among a mess of small town hash not funny enough
to get into "Whiz Bang" but too much intermiXed with
things stale and putrid to grace the pages of Jim Jam
Jems" it is surprising, even refreshing, to find a statement
of solid fact. "Horkan's decision is emphaticallyi in favor
of the Point" It's hard to understand how such a decla-
ration got into the headlines of the county seat story in
must be some connection between it and Brother Paul
sons subtle remark, editorially made, that there is one
thing The Independent wants understood and that is that
the Almighty or the king Of the dark regions cannot get
Inc Independent to suppress news without going to the
mat with us and laying us out in the corner"
It must be that Editor Charles W., or his understudy
William L., had passed Paul the Worc that reference to
that decision were out Of order. But Editor Paulson could
ers the news though the heavens fall. Later in his story
he atones slightly for his breach of newspaper ethics as
practiced in his town by referring to the decision as
Judge HOrkan's astounding decree" In the same head
lines he delivers himself of the sage opinion that "toO
many voters are slumberng STILL" Judging by the fact
that the court after a very limited probe into POplars.
election precincts found that more than a score of them
had to be cancelled, the Independents remark evidently
refers to those Poplar voters who are slumbering beneath
the sod in their cemeteries.
Really, we are surprised, they must have failed to COM
pare notes. Usually Charles and Bill and Paul fraternize
and harmonic like a bunch of veterans at an old soldiers
reunion. Paul seldom calls the others anything worse
than robbers, and they seldom have the courage to refer
to him at all. Casting an impartial eye over the stories
in the two papers of the recent county seat developments
that have wrought their village to such a high pitch, we
are compelled to pass the palm to Mr.. PaulsOn. His story
has the virtue Of brevity and, as already explained, con
tains at least one piece of solid truth.
The Standards story has it's good points, especially
from a space writer's standpoint, but its main weakness
is a lack of terminal facilities. In places the narrative
convinces us that it is a sickly attempt at humOr, and that
conviction is the only thing that stands in the way of
characterizing it as a bid for a postgraduate degree in the
school supposed to have been founded by the honOrable
Ananias. Although it runs on like Tennysons Brook it
almost wholly neglectS to record the big outstanding fact
of the week that is recognized right in the first of The
