JERSEY CITY. April 10.-William

Presidential nomination campaign of
Senator Hiram w. Johnson, last
night characterized as Coolidge
propaganda" the report that Senator
johnson was to consider withdrawal
from the race in New Jersey.
Mr.. Verdon made the assertion be-
fore departing for Washington where
he said he expected to arrange for
Senator Johnson's campaign tour of
this state during next week.
WASHINGTON, Apri, 10.--While
friends of Senator Hiram Johnson
gather in Washington to consider
the status of his campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination.
neither he nor his supporters have
given any indication OF their plans
or the possible effects on their fu-
ture activities of the primary re-
turns from Michigan. Illinois and
Nebraska.
Senator Johnson denied knowl-
edge of the impending conference
when his attention was called to
reports that 1t was to be held, and
made the same comment-"I know
nothing about it"-with reference
to predictions that he might soon
withdraw as an active candidate.
Failure of the campaign methods
thus far pursued to get the desired
number of delegates N the west and
middle-west, however. has obviously
disappointed some of his supporters,
and they are expected to suggest
various changes.

OFF POINT, the county seat of Roosevelt county, is located
w on the transcontinental trunk line of the Great Northern rail-
road and is about seventy-five miles west of the North Dako-
taMontana state boundary line.
Wolf Point, an uptothe-minute, live, hustling community, has a
population of $500, is a division point of the Great Northern railroad
and is served daily by three passenger trains from the east and like
number from the west.
Located on the Missouri river, Wolf Point, in the early days of
river transportation, was designated as the midway point between.
Bismarck, North Dakota, and Fort Benton, Montana. All of the steam
boats stopped at this point to discharge freight and passengers and to
receive fuel, and it is worthy Of note that this fuel was then entirely
wood. of which bounteous supplies still remain in the vicinity.

the truth about the values of land,
the adaptability of lands to certain
crops, and the methods of farming.
In other words, the new settlers
that are coming to Wolf Point will
be taken in and made one of this
large and prosperous family. Too
much praise cannot be given the
Wolf Point Commercial Club, and
to further exemplify the spirit OF
this organization, their handling Of

welfare and happiness of the com
munity.
Space will not permit the detail
ing of all the business enterprises
of the city; suffice it to mention
that Wolf Point has a wonderful,
modern hotel, built at a cost of ov-
er, S150,0O0; a theatre that cost ov-
er $75,OO0; five grain elevators /; a
flour mill two banks with a COM
bined total of capital and deposits
amounting to $705,O00; a public
park; and vast public improve
ments such as would do credit to a
center many times the size of this
live community.
The Wolf Point Herald, of which
Charles L. Marshall is editor, has
been noted, ever since its incep-
ton, for its intensive cooperation
with the business interests and the
farmers of Roosevelt county. Much
credit is due Editor Marshall for
the maintenance of the progressive
spirit and helpful policy that is ex-
pressed and put into action through
his publication.
Money In Corn and Hogs.
A recent noteworthy achieve
ment was the bringing to Wolf
Point of the Third Annual North
ern Montana Corn and Seed show,
held November IL to IA. Eighteen
thousand ears of corn represent
ing 100000 acres grown in north
ern Montana were on exhibit. This
was not only a great surprise to all
the visitors to the show, but it al
so was a revelation as to the posi-
bilities for future production of
this greatest of all cereals, King
Corn" The year 1924 has been
generally conceded to have been a
most unfavorable corn season.
However, the judges at this show
expressed the opinion that the quail
of corn exhibited this year was
better than in 1923.

When The Wo1ferS Came
1t is stated that probably the
first white inhabitants were trap
pers and woodchoppers. The trap
pers came in the wake of Lewis and
Clark, the woodsmen in the late
fifties and early sixties. There were
few, if any, permanent settlers until
about the Civil war days, at which
time the town of Wolf Point came
into being. The town received its
name about this time, and it is re-
lated by some of the old-timers
that its somewhat unusual appel
alton was derived from the fact that
a party of trappers who had cap
tured several hundred grey wolves
during very cold weather and had
hauled them into their camp along
the Missouri river, had stacked
them up in huge piles, facing thel
river, hence through common re-
ference, the settlement became
known as Wolf Point.
The abundant nutritious grasses
which cover this territory attract
ed immense herds of buffalo in the
seventies and the eighties, and,
they in turn, lured bands of In
dams who pursued and killed the
big game for their hides. The As
sinniboines came first, and later the
Sioux. Wolf Point was first an In
dian trading post and later a ship
ping and supply point for the large
ranches that covered northeastern
Montana.
Coming of The Railroad.
The transition of this country
has been gradual and progressive.
The Great Northern railroad first
extended its line through this sec
ton of the West in 1887, and the
main industry for the next genera
ton, or until about 1910, was cattle
and horse r~anching. The country
south of the Missouri from Wolf
Point was generally settled by ali t
influx of homesteaders, from 1910 '
to 1915, and the Fort Peck reser- {
which extends north of the F
Missouri river, was partially open S
I'd to settlement on a lottery plan r
n May, 1914. From that time forth, c
he growth of the town was rapid, t
is it was the trading point for an n
immense area. The next import il
mt event in the ~upgrowth of the a
community was the establishment S
# a division terminal by the Great
railway with a complete el
nd modern plant including a rs Il
tall roundhouse, shops, icing S,

Directly or indirectly, it will pro-

who will have cheaper and more
abundant raw materials and energy

The results of this campaign will
depend entirely upon the interest

will be a success, if every community
carries out its own specific part of

If Montana's abundant resources
are to be developed, Montana must
attract more men and more money.
The first step is to make the out
side know what Montana is like;
what it a raise from the soil and
what it a extract from the ground,
and how it can harness the water
that flows in its streams, and the
coal and the oil and the gas that
abound beneath it's surface, to
create energy for the fabrication Of

Lac Proaram as a Whole.

The Program as Whole.
N March the Central Executive Com
1 mittee issued a statement entitled,
Activities of the Workers Party" in
which was pointed out the necessity
for balanced program of action for
the party. At that time attention was
called to the tendency of various
groups in the party to unduly stress
certain activities of the party and to
neglect others. The consequence of this
course naturally leads to a lopsided
development of the party and to the
growth of unnecessary factionalism.
The c. E. c. stressed the necessity of
so organizing its program of work that
the tasks Of building the party, edu-
eating its membership, and utilizing it
in the class struggle would go ahead
simultaneously and in such manner as
to give the party a thoroughly rounded
character. The present Program of
Action, herewith outlined, is the put
ting into effect of the principles en-
larged upon in the statement "Activi-
ties of the Workers Party"
The Program of Action contains
several points: u Labor Party and
election policy; p Trade union and
industrial work; 81 party membership
campaign; A. educational work; 81
reorganization of the party on the
shop nuclei basis; 81 unemployment
oplicy; y DAILY WORKER subcrip-
ton campaign. These propositions
cover most of the main activities of
the party and consist of the matters
to which the party must direct its con-
centrated attention. This does not
mean, however, that other activities
Of the party shall be neglected. On
the contrary. they, too, shall be pushed
with redoubled energy.
In order that the Program of Action
may be put into effect Systematically,
energetically and uniformly turnout
the organization, and all these activi-
ties carried on continuously in the
sense Of their comparative importance,
a certain amount of specialization and
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-19
PROGRAM OF ACTION
Adopted Unanimously by the c. E. c.

organization will have to take place
around each policy. This will develop
from the top to the bottom of the par
ty. In the c. e. c. individual men,
bers will be commissioned to devote
special attention to the various phases
of the Program of Action, this spe-
cialization not to interfere with the
proper Capitalization of the party. The
d. E. C.'s will also carry out the same
principle, organizing the necessary
committees to specialize upon each of
the points of the program. Likewise
the c. c. C.'s and local branches will
create the necessary specialization so
that they can be brought systematical-
ly and effectively into the work of put
ting the whole Program of Action in
to operation.
In addition to creating the neces-
sary committees around each phase of
the Program of Action, fundamental
necessity is to require that all of these
responsible individuals and commit
tees submit regular reports as to what
is being accomplished in the line of
activity directly under their super
vision. Thus the G. E. c. will require
regular reports from those of its mem
bers commissioned to carry out these
activities. Likewise the c. e. c. will
receive similar reports from all dis
trict organizers explaining in detail
what is being done in their respective
territories relative to all the points
in the Program of Action. So far as
practical the d. E. C.'s, c. c. C.'s, and
local branches should put the same
principle into effect. Only in this man
ner, by creating the necessary special
lied machinery and then seeing to it
that this machinery functions effect
lively, will it be possible to achieve the
highly beneficial effects possible I'M
der this program.
The following statement of policies
and the manner of their application
deals in the main with general prin-
ciples. Detailed instructions on each
policy will be sent to the party units.
