United Front in Daniels Co.
b-a-dub-dub.

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub!
The Butcher, the Baker,
The Candle Stick Maker,
All went to sea
With some rotten perterteIs.
At last a united front has been eff
fected in Daniels county,
1t was accomplished last week
much to the satisfaction of all con
kcerned.
Sammy Nyquist, the Sunday
school teacher lawyer, county attor-
ney by favor of "Red Flag" TAYLOR
Al Lawrence, the sheriff, who has
been a good dog since Barry Stew
ems spit IN his face, BErley Bowler
notorious rounder and tin horn
gambler, the leader of the under
world of ScObey, now publicity man
OF Sid Bennett and Bill Stevens, edi-
| tor Of the Green Table Bugle pub
hshed at that place in which NyQuist
! and Lawrence are reputed to be
financially interested, have effected a
political alliance with the Bennett
Stevens political outfit, thus cOnsti-
tuting the united pie-counter front
IN Daniels county for the coming
campaign.
This arrangement cordial was dis
closed last week, when Sammy and
Al, who had given their word of
honor upon several occasions, who
had joined the Farmer-Labor partv
and paid their membership fees, that
they would run for Office only on
the Farmer-Labor ticket, announced
that they, because Communists sat
in the st. Paul convention, would 90
back into the party of Silent Cal
Coolidge, Sec. Mellon, the arch boot
logger OF the age and Daugherty,
whom Sen. Wheeler chased out of
the cabinet for corruption, a couple
OF the lowest grafters, crooks and
thieves this country has ever pro-
duced, and go to bed with their pal,
Burnley Bowler, the tinhorn, and VIM.
Stevens and Sid Bennett, the repub-
lican party of Daniels county.
Sammy's and Alps new United
Front comes as a surprise to all of
those who do not know Sammy and
Al. By those acquainted with those
boys, the final step has long been ex-
pected-the only thing that prevent
ed the definite action some weeks ago,
was lack of guts-both Sammy and
Al have yellow streaks down their
backs a foot wide.
Of course Sammy and Al have
never been interested at heart with !
the aims of the farmers and work
ers. Both of them have always been |
IN the movement for what they could |
get out of it and nothing else-and /
they have gotten considerable out of
has fed himself and /
family by this sort of wit, besides
building up a petty law practice. Al, /
who is thrifty, has saved his salary .
and little besides, while successful I
y running his farm, and he now
feels that he is an expanded capital
st, whose proper home is in the par
" of Messrs. Mellon and Daugher-
". Of course, Al is not noted for
any large amount of intelligence,
md is hardly responsible for what
le does one way or the other. He
S dub follower of Sammy now,
When Burley Bowler is not loading
i'm about by the nose, and every one
hould take the facts into cOnsidera-
ion when judging him, and be as
as possible.
Sammy has been going along with
he farmers for some time in half
earted way, because he needed his
zeal ticket. At heart he has never
cen anything else but a white-liver-
d reformer. He has never support
d the ticket he ran on 100 per cent. !
4 1920, he double crossed Al, who ,
as then the candidate of the farm :
rs for sheriff and supported and ac- !
tally elected Dave Martin sheriff, !
hOm he afterwards made a pretense
trying to remove for high lacking.
ut owing to Martins having fixed ;
lings with Sammy's friend Rankin, +
-artin was able to hold his office 6
ntil his term expired, without much =
fiiculty. In 1920 Sammy also sup
)rted actively, Rankin, for Attor-
ey General and in 1920 and 1922
2 is known to have double-crossed
her members on the Nonpartisan
eague ticket.
Sammy is now supporting Scott
eavitt for Congress and Duke
asileno Rankin for the United
,ates Senate. 1t has been known
+ some time that Rankin has been
Orking with the Bennett Stevens
Itfit at Scobey with whom he has
ade a political deal, and with
enrich and Patch and Jerome of
)osevelt county. In this way Ran
n is connected up with the old
aft gang in Northeastern Mon
ma and with Sammy Nyquist and
rley Bowler at Scobey. In this IN
~ Rankin is in good with both the n
en- town and the Sunday school h,
.ment, which he hopes will put him r.
er for United States Senator. In or
eridan county he is hooked up er
tn PopbOttle Jack O'Grady, and
idget, Oscar Collins, Pilster Stor-
n, and the old Jud MatIins- Fish
TX gang, and that is so notorious,
1t POpbottle Jack brazenly and OPP
y boasts that even though he has
len S2100 of the county's money, 3
t he has political arrangement >

Sammy, of course, has an agree =
