ne had had a personal interview with
all of the booze vendors after the
last raid and advised them that if |
Mark Olson were elected he could i
guarantee them protection, and that |
there would be no more raids or fines, /
and that the business of transporting I
gin would be given the protection |
that an infant industry of that kind |
deserved, and that he had been as
sured by these business men of their |
hearty cooperation in behalf of good /
government. These remarks are said /
to have been greeted by a round of /
applause. Carl Peterson remarked, I
It is said, that an endorsement for /
Mark Olson had been secured also |
from the Kp Klux Khan at their re-
cent endorsing convention held at |
Antelope, and that Mark Olson had
been endorsed by Ray Lang. John
Charles O'Grady and Joe Dolin, which
together with the endorsement of the
Bankers Association should just about
clnch things for Marcus Olson of
/ Medicine Lake: that very promising
overtures were in process with the
w. G. t. u, with the idea of secur-
ing their endorsement though that
matter had not been consummated
yet, but if successful would result in
lining up the bOOtleggers, moonshin-
ers, Ku Klux Khan, w. G. T. u. and
the Bankers Association as a unit
behind Olson, which ought to result
in his election.
Carl is said to have reported that
Mr.. O'Grady had been out sounding
public opinion, and found consider
able sentiment fer him, Slippery Carl,
in several of the uniformed, outlying
precincts, and that quite a number of
the ladies were going to vote for Mrs.
Hunter for Superintendent.
Neils Christensen is said to have
turned in a very pessimistic report
about Dagmar. saying it is alleged,
that he only got IA votes in the pri-
maries in that precinct, and that he
considered himself about as popular
man in that section eff the county
as any man on the ticket, so he could
not hold out much encouragement. r.
G. Tyler giggled in his simple way
several times and figured that the
ticket had votes to spare, as he I'M
derstood that there was a split in the
radical forces in the county.
Others made remarks, while John
Charles O'Grady looked owl-eyed and
glum. Oscar Collins was net present,
) being out on an important mission for
the Governor.
GOVERNORS VISIT
The matter of Gov. Dixon's appear
ance at Plentywood on October Ia was
taken up, and it is reported that it
was arranged to get out a brass band
to see if a crowd cannot be gotten for
him. 1t is reported that the local
: bankers, or eX-cashiers of defunct
banks, which banks were allowed to
. operate for months after they were
known by the governor to be insolv-
ent, and through this gracious lenien-
cy of the Governor, many of our citi-
zens and farmers were defrauded out
of the proceeds of their last years
crops, and even the earnings of the
children, Sunday schools Ladies' Aids
and widows were hooked by methods
which In any other State would have
landed these eX-cashiers and receiv-
ers in the penitentiary, viii give the
governor q banquet after he has de-
llvered his message to the citizens.
Oscar Collins will introduce the gov
ernor, it is said, while John Charles
O'Grady, will manage the meeting and
lead the parade. 1t is reported that
Mr.. O'Grady is still at large after
admitting stealing $2100 of the tax
payers money, because he is a strong
Dixon supporter. 1t seems that the
convention was strong for Dixon and
Coolidge.
Mr. O'Grady then read letter of
instructions from Gov. Dixon, con-
corning the Dan Olson shortage.
which made Lou Nelson wiggle in his
chair, as this was getting pretty close
to home, whereupon he moved an adj
Journment. subject to the call Of Slip
perry Carl, which was seconded. Carl
suggested that they sing their little
song, written by "Our Governor" with
music by Oscar Collins, entitled
Taylor Is Slipping, in closing which
everybody did with great fervor,
when all slipped out and had little
shot in the arm.
Moon shine, moonshine, is to me
the sun shine"
open wide the portals, let the
beamlets in" hummed John Charles
O'Grady, to a sad weird tune, as he
and Carl. side by side, wendell their
way up main street.
CARL AND JACK TO TALK
Oh, yes, it is reporte dthat Mr.. Pet
erson and Mr.. O'Grady will deliver
a series of speeches in support of the
Progressive Republican ticket dur
ing the closing days of the campaign
at strategic points in the county.
