A circular letter Is being sent 10
the members in District No. which
consists OF Sheridan and Daniels
counties and it purports TO show that
Niels Christensen of Dagmar should
be elected director from this district
because as Cresap and his stool
pigeons claim StOner IS not quallhed.
These letters contain the names OF
bankers operating defunct banks. The
members will remember, however,
when Stoner was qualified to go out
and organize the pool for Cresap.
CreSap himself remembers when the
Producers News and all the men he
now denOunces, gave the Wheat
Pool unlimited publicity and support
and helped Cresap establish the pool
which he later used for his own per-
sonal and political gain. StOner> and
/ Taylor done more than Cresap to pro-
mote the pool and secure members
/ thereof. When Cresap claims that
I Sen. Anderson, Taylor and StOner are
attempting to get control of The
/ Montana Wheat Growers for political
\ purposes, he is a deliberate liar. He
/ has forgotten the time when Cresap
himself was instructing his. organic
ers to boost for him to become a can
didate for United States Senator
from Montana in 1922. And-what is
I Creasp using his Montana Wheat
Grower for at this time? For the
purpose of keeping himself beside
the pie-cOunter on the payroll of The
Wheat Grower Assn.
Why should not Cresap explain to
the members of the Wheat Growers
Assn. why he attempted to have the
Board cf Directors use the money OF
! the organization for the purpose OF
purchasing a defunct bank in Lewis
town with liabilities Of over 100000
Why viii he not give Clair StOnel
credit for the fact that he was tn.
director who protested against thi:
insane venture which would surely
ruin the association? Why will Ores

it for the publicity it gave to the As
sOciation at the time it was Just or
ganized and helped to organize tn,
northeast section of the state? No

More than 80 delegates and spec

to whether or not LaFollette will &C

although LaFollee had not oficiall!

understood that his representative
in Montana favored such move.
: was also explained that should La

erection in selecting a commissioner,
and all but one official. Wankel
further argued that the position of
the candidates as to territory had
been too seriously considered in the
past and he attributed that fact to
the large number of traitors elected.
That if the south part of the county
together with the north part will get
together and elect Mr.. Iverson, we
will have the best majority board of
commissioners Sheridan county ever
had. That Mr. Wankel himself had
some very bad roads in his communi-
ty, but that he did not expect the
county to specially give him consid-
Grafton over other sections of the
county. ?
The Dagmar delegation boosted for
Mikkel Paulsen, and they also argued
that they had not received their pro-
portion of the road funds fer the
benefits of their communities, but as
sured the convention that they look
at the man this time more than ever
before, rather than the territory in
which the candidate resides.
After some further discussions in
which the Homestead and the Medi-
cine Lake delegations took part,
vote was taken which resulted as
follows:
Edward Iverson, 10.
Peter Glein, 8.
Mikkel PaUlsen, 8.
AS Mr.. Iverson received a MAORI
ty on the first ballot, no further bal
letting was necessary and Mr.. Iver-
son was declared endorsed.
The delegation led by Mr.. Robert
Larsen made a very valiant fgnt for
their candidate as did also the Dag
ma rdelegation led by Mr.. Sorensen,
for their candidate, but after the re
suit was announced they took their
defeat good humoredly and thus
showed themselves to be good losers
as we'll as good fighters.
Several of the local aggregation
of gangsters were present as specta-
tors and listened to the proceedings
with great interest. They were in
hopes that a bolt or a split might
be engineered and they were scatter
, ed all through the audience, but the
+ audience was composed mostly Of
; farmers so not a peep was heard
> from them.
S Mr.. Odin Lutnes was endorsed fol

d It is impossible to give as complete
a a report of the convention as WI
Y would like to, it being necessary t,
e confne ourselves to the most inter
+ esting events. The delegates worke
i carefully and gave every considera
e ton to all those who desired to ex
: press their views. Although onl
e three minutes were allowed to eac
IS delegate for discussion and two mir
It utes for rebuttal, every delegate wa

was as good as any other man in the
south district. Mr.. Larsen stated
that during the past two conventions
it chad used very poor judgment in
selecting nominees for County Com
missioner and other offices and par
ticularly denounced Tyler, Ibsen, the
O'Gradys and Oscar Collins.
Mr.. Larsen said in part: 81 have
been in the farmers and the. workers
movement for the past twenty years
and have consistently worked for the
bstterment of the farmers and the
y orkers. I have watched the pre-
Gee dings eff the pasr three conventions
Of the Nonpa :isan League in this
county and am sorry to sly that these
conventions used extremely poor
judgment in selecting some Of the
official wshich the farmers later elect
ed. Some CT the officials have gone
straight, but many of them have
turned traitors to their trust and Of
fee and to the taxpayers whom they
we're elected to represent and serve.
At the time Oscar Collins was en-
dorsed for Sheritf, had I beel e, :
suited l could have told the CONVEX
ton and the delegates that lie vas
absolutely no good. Sc also with the
O'Gradys, Jens Ibsen, Tyler, Jack
Bennett and the others who later
proved themselves to be traitors.
am in favor of using discretion in the
conventions rather than electing the
officials to Office only to find that they
are both dishonest and traitors.

officials for whom to vote and l an
sorry to say that I have been dis
appointed. Today I ask this conven
ton and the delegates to take m!
word for once and endorse the can
Cidate which I have come here to pu
over"
Art Wankel If Dooley led the figh
for Ed. Iverson of Antelope for com
missioner from the south district an
he pointed out that he also had beei
disappointed in some of the choice
made for the different offices in tn
past, but that the majority of the OF
fcials have been true to their trust
and that Sheridan County had mad
wonderful record during the pas
four years in spite of the traitor
which had been elected and that tn
county has reduced its indebtedness
while most of the other countie
have greatly increased their indebt
edness. Mr.. Wankle pointed out thu
he himself had taken other delegate
word in the past few conventions an
that as he knew Mr.. Iverson to be
man of exceptional integrity, honest
and qualifications, he believed that /
should be endorsed. That the arg
ment set forth as to his place of res
dence in the south district should
disregarded; that he knew Mr.. I've
son would serve the taxpayers in Il
south part of the county as well
in the central or north part and tn
there was not the slightest doubts

but that Mr.. Iverson would make

damn town in the state" II must be good
town or Larry Ho wouldn't have tuned his Tyre
and sung it's praises.
If Frank Day felt the urge, he wouldn't
hesitate to try to carry off the gates Of GAIA as
Samson did, or uphold the world as Atlas did, or
defy the lightning as Ajax did, or clean out the
Augean stables as Hercules did. He might not
succeed, but he would make the rest of us take
notice while he was making the attempt, and he
would not be discouraged from undertaking any
other big job that might meander his way.
AS one of the major prophets Frank Day
Classics in the "also ran" class. "Wilson S
dream" he once said, "has been sneered at, but
the world will come to it at last" In May Frank
doubted the nomination of Calvin Coolidge. Four
years ago he could see how Harding might lose
Minnesota, and later he had hopes that Larry Ho
might be elected governor. The real major pro-
phets think Frank is good newspaper man-ex-
cept when he deals in futures.

going stale. The press needs him to Tighten its
cares. Fairmont needs him to keep on keeping

FRANK DAYS GOLDEN JUBILEE

= ERE'S a hand of congratulation for that
Fl sweetly terrible old militant of Fairmont
Frank A. Day, editor of The Sentinel in
a snappy town of-well, let's call it 5000 popula-
tion to avoid at the outset severing of diploma
tic relations.
The occasion for this friendly overture is
that this is the fftieth anniversary of Franks
founding of The Sentinel Frank has snapped
and snarled and barked at us ever and ever so
many times, but we kept on loving him because
be never bit.
Frank is a sterling Democrat, near-Demo-
crat or no Democrat at all, according to the view
point. He's always in step, but time and again
the party regiment has been out of step, whereat
Frank has been wont to thrust his snickersee into
it and twist it around. Two years ago Demo-
crat tried to have him thrust bodily out Of par
ty council, but failed, although Frank had threat
ened the year before to come to Minneapolis and
vote the Socialist ticket because he didn't like
the way the Republicans Tilted the Democrats at
that time.

cracy, there never has been any question about

Without question the best speech made at

Invocation at the opening session. We have for
gotten the name and the residence of the bishop
who pronounced it, but some of the things he
asked God for will remain long in the remem-
brance of the men and women who sat in that
huge convention hall. He was not only an eloqu-
emit man but daring one-he made it very evil

Of God instead Of in the hands of the Republic

Unless Minnesota takes immediate steps to

fine for the gas dealer, but it is robbing our

Careful Investigations have recently beer

years. The country death rate in areas where
accurate statistics are available has fallen lit

Nothing in the story of mankind is more in
teresting than the stages by which the Ideal OF
the Father became possible to the human race.
Glimpses of God have been wherever man
has lived The Egyptians have had theirs, the
Greeks theirs, the Romans theirs, the Hindoos
theirs, the Chinese theirs, the Moslems theirs.
They have been truer more distorted accord
ing to the instinct Of the race. But it is always
cropping after God, with some measure of abili-
ty in finding Him.
What gives to the Hebrew effort its supreme
Importance is it's supreme success Not, it must
be repeated, that the came all at once, or
that it came easily. 1t came through many En-
rors, held through many centuries.
Of these there is one the very sur
face of the Old Testament which sometimes makes
it hard for the modern man to read that book
with sympathy or approval. 1t is the habit OF
mind and the turn of phrase, which ascribes to
God all the passing impulses of young and
semi-civilized nation in the process of expansion.
What their passions ambitions urged them
to do they believed that their God commanded
them to do. He was their inspiration and their
referee.-Basil King in Harpers.
