four years. Under this law Dan Oh
son could not become a candidate at
this time. In his place the farmer
labor convention endorsed Mr.. Eng.
TOrstensOn of Raymond, the present
deputy treasurer who by virtue of his
past experience is one of the best
qualified officials running for Office.
In other columns of this issue. Mr..
Torstenson states his policies and
position plainly and conciselv With
the election of Torstenson the tax
payers will be assured a continuance
of the good work started four years
ago by Dan Olson which has reduced
the bonded and warrant indebtedness
by nearly 100000 which means a
reduction of interest of nearly $4,000
per year. On November 4th the
voters of the county will have an OBJ
portunity to show their appreciation
of the good work started and vote for
its continuance by casting their vote
for Eng. TOrstenson in the Farmer
Labor column.

C. ERICKSON
FOR COUNTY, ATTORNEY

Mr.. Erickson is again the Farmer
Labor candidate for county attorney
and his election is conceded by every
body. The opposition are attempting
to make capital out Of Mr.. Erickson's
court record, but everyone knows
that his fight against an organized
gang which have had more influence
with the court than Erickson has
been hard one. 1t must be remem-
bered that county attorney is not
the court and his effort if not given
the proper consideration is unavail-
ing. 1t must also be remembered
that Erickson has secured a larger
number of convictions than has most
other county attorneys in the state in
spite of his adverse court rulings and
collections for fines have been large.
No other county attorney could have
done better than Erickson and for
that reason he merits reelection bv
a large majority.

RODNEY SALISBURY
FOR SHERIFF

Rodney Salisbury, the present
sheriff, was unanimously endorsed by
the Farmer-Labor county convention
IN July so had his record as Sheriff
of this county impressed the dele
gates. In every instance has Sails
bury performed his duties cheerfullv
and efficiently and even the opposi-
ton can not say that he has shirked
his duties even though they may
have been unpleasant and hazardous.
His record is without blemish in
every respect and he is one sheriff in
the state who treats his prisoners as
human beings. Salisbury is one of
the few sheriffs in this state who
takes the position that the foreclos-
ure lawyers and the collectors are
not running his office and who has the
courage to advise them Just how far
they may go in their ruthless method
of divesting the poor farmer and his
family Of their last penny and home.
Whatever the opposition may say
about Rodney, they can not truth
fully state that he has lent his office
to law violators, that he has used
his position in ruthless collections
and in driving the poor from their
farms, that he has stood for any
dirty work, that he has in any way
aided the landlords to make illegal
collections or that he has driven the
wives and babies of Invested farmers
from their homes to freez and starve.
This paper can truthully say that
Salisbury is the best sheriff this
county ever had and he merits re-
election by a larger majority than
ever before.

HANS RASMUSSEN
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR

In 1922, the Producers News pre-
dicted that if Hans Rasmussen was
elected surveyor over r. c. Link he
would hold that office for some little
time. He was elected by two-to-one
majority and We will miss our guess
If he is not reelected by an even
larger margin this time. During his
term of office Mr.. Rasmussen has
made a splendid record and has re-
duced the expenses of the surveyors
office to less than half of what it
used to cost. Rasmussen has not
built any roads nor bridges that were
not absolutely necessary and what
ever he did build, are there to stav.
The unreasonable mileage charges
under the previous surveyors have
been eliminated and Mr. Rasmussen
in both supervising the road and
bridge constructions and in prepar-
ing the necessary maps and doing
the required surveying is by far the
most economical county surveyor
this county ever had. We have not
found anyone criticising Mr.. Hans
Rasmussen's administration as coun-
ty surveyor and there is no criticism
due. Mr.. Rasmussen has made this
county a splendid surveyor

as well known as Dan ]. Olson. Mr..
Olson ives elected to the office of
county treasurer by a huge majority
in 1920 and again in 1922 over the
old gang candidates. AS county
treasurer he has been always on the
side of the taxpayers and it has been
thru his effort that the county has
been able to reduce its Indebtedness
by more than S500,00O.OO. Mr.. Olson
not being eligible to another term as
County Treasurer on account of the
state law, is a candidate for Clerk of
the District Court. The most we can
say for Dan Olson is that he is one
official with a spotless record and
merits election by his usual large
majority. In every vital issue in the
past Mr.. Olson has been on the right
side and dispute every effort of cor
rupt political machine which has been
against him, he has stood squarely
upon his promises and has not once
faltered. His election is conceded by
even the most optimistic aid gangster
and we predict that his majority will
exceed that in the two previous cleo
tons.

NIELS MADSEN
FOR CLERK & RECORDER

For the office of Clerk & Recorder,
the farmer-labor forces picked Niels
Madsen. Mr.. Madsen. is one of the
most popular farmers in the Dagmar
country and has been connected with
practically every cooperative organi-
cations in his territory since coming
to Montana. Mr.. Madsen was in
duced to accept the nomination for
Clerk and Recorder because of his
knowledge and ability as a minister
al officer who knows his business and
is not afraid to work. Mr.. Madsen Is
noted for his efficiency, honesty and
painstal1ing devotion to his work and
we predict that the office of Clerk
and Recorder will be run at a con
siderably smaller cost to the taxnav-
ers than heretofore if elected IN
every endeavor with which Mr. Wadsen
has been connected it has been fond
that he has always given his verv
best to his work. Mr.. Madsen viii

EDWARD WERSON
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

For county commissioner, the
Farmer-LabOr party presents Ed
ward Iverson of Antelope. Mr.. "
ersOn, altho running against an op-
pOnent in the primaries received
nearly as many votes as Niels Chris
Jensen who had no opposition what
soever, which indicates that he will
be elected by a two to one vote on
November 4th.
No other office in the county is as
important as that of county commits
sioner. For that reason the voters
should give special weight to that
office. With Iverson elected county
commissioner, the county for the
first time in its history would have
majority eff the board in the hands
of two men representing the taxpay-
ers. The opposition in this county,
realizing the Importance of the coun-
ty commissioner nominated a desert
er from the ranks of the farmers,
hoping thereby to gain votes from
the farmers ranks. This is the poll
cy always adopted by them and new
er have we found one instance where
they have failed to do this.
Edward IversOn is one of the old
timers, having come to Antelope with
the first settlers in 1909 Upon his
homestead of 800 acres he has es-
tablished himself a good home and
raised a fine family. Where Mr.. "
erson is known the best he is liked
and respected the most, and his rec
ord is that of absolute fidelity and
honesty to his friends and his uur-
pose. Mr.. Iverson was one of the
original organizers Of the Antelope
Telephone company, the Antelope
Farmers Elevator Company, the Peo-
pies Publishing Company Of Plenty
wood and was one of the first direc-
tors of the Producers News. His
stand on political and economic issues
has always been in favor of the
farmers and the workers and against
the grafters and the exploiters. No
better qualified man could be secured
for the important Office Of county
commissioner than Edward Iverson.

A. 7. LARSEN
FOR STATE REPRESENTATT1

EOh SLATE REPRESENTATTV
One of the leading representatives
In the State legislature the past two
sessions was A. T. Larsen from Sher-
ldan County. Rep. Larsen introduced
and fought for the 8 per cent law
Whlcr the bankers defeated and which
IS feared by the usurers more than
any other measure introduced for
many years. Larsen went to Helena
to represent Sheridan county with
the hope that he might be able, TO
work with Dixon and his organiza-
ton, but soon found that Dixon's
game was one entirely different from
the one he purpOrted to be PLAYING
while campaigning for governor in
1870. Being man of unouestion-
able honesty and integrity, A. T. Lar
sen informed the governor that he
was not willing to be used as a tool
for his (DixOn's benefit and that he
came to Helena to represent the
farmers in Sheridan County and not
political machine. Needless to saw
Gov. Dixon felt unfreindly towards
Rep. Larsen ever since and at the,
time he visited Sheridan County a
few days ago he undertook to criti
CHE Mr.. Larsen for not supporting
him for reelection. In every in
stance where the interests of the
farmers and the workers were at
stake, Larsen has been always found
on their side. The opposition con-
cedes the election of A. TlLarsen on
November 4th.

EMMA CRONE
FOR COUNTY, sUPT. Ola SCHOOLS

Miss Emma Crone was endorsed
for county superintendent of schools
upon her record both as a teacher
and her magnificent record as Coun-
ty Superintendent during the mast
two years. Since 1922, Miss Crone
has done more to enforce the COM
pUsOry educational laws of this state
than any county superintendent
in Montana. She reduced absences
in Sheridan County by $4,000 DAYS
during the last school year alone
which in itself merits her reelection.
Below we print a letter from c.. E.
Carter, Supt. of Schools at Greeley,
Colo. to A. A. Wells of Marathon,
Iowa, in which he said:
81 am writing you relative to
the work of Miss Emma Crone
in our public schools. She has
taught in Greeley for a period of
three years. During this time she
has shown herself to be a pro-
gressive, conscientious teacher.
She possesses strong powers in
discipline; and her instruction is
clear, logical and upon important
subject matters.
"Her character is Of the best
and her activities in the ccmmu-
nifty are all of such nature as to
merit the apprival of the school
authorities"
Miss Crone has dozens of such
recommendations as the above and
wherever she has taught she was al
ways reelected whenever she desired
to remain. Here work as Superin-
tendent of Schools in Sheridan Ccun-
ty is of such nature that the pub
lie as a whole rarely have sufficient
contact with that office to really ap-
preciate what has been accomplished.
A detailed account of her accom-
phshments would cover a great
amount of space, but it is sufficient

Ole ASPELUND
FOR COUNTY ACCECCOP

Aspelund is a household name in
this county. The name Aspelund and
the word Assessor has one and the
same meaning. From a cost of as
sessing the taxpayers in 1920
amounting to $4,000 to the cost of
assessing the taxpayers in 1928
amounting to $4,000 is indeed an
enviable record. The taxpayers are
making the best investment of their
lives when they re-elect Ole Aspe-
lund assessor. His election is not
even seriously disputed by the most
optimistic in the old gang camp.
Mr.. Aspelund is the best assessor
this county ever had.

The county ticket in the farmer

by S. E. Paul, candidate for judge of
the Twentieth judicial district Mr..
Paul is by far the best qualified can
didate the voters have had an oppor-
tunity to vote for on any ticket fer

pledged impartial justice to all and
special favOrs to none. That is what
the people have been looking for and
that is what they will receive if Paul
is elected. A vote for Paul is a vote
for decency and justice.
