rail- OF 70, and under his direction
the Association was built up. When
he was dismissed, the entire Organi-
cation work of the Association was
discontinued for reasons best known
to Messrs. StraWman and Cresap.
When they stopped organization work
and dismissed Aug. Nelson from the
service. Cresap offered Aug. Nelson
$4,000 out of the funds of the AssO-
citation if he would leave LewistOWn
and the State of Montana. This is
the man whom Cresap and Strawman
now denOunce and condemn as in the
employ of the Equity.
Cresap attacks Sen. Anderson sew
the July 1st issue of the wheat
Grower" He refers to the Senator,
who is recognized as one of the big,
outstanding men of this state, by
people in ali stations and parties, a
man of unimpeachable character who
has served the state and the people
with distinction as a Whiffet. dog,
barking at the heels of a st. Bern
ard. the Bernard being George c.
Jewett. He also refers to Sen. An
deTsOn, who is probably the best pub
lie speaker in the state, a man who
campaigned the state with Sen.
Wheeler in 1920 when Wheeler was
the NOnpartisan League candidate for
governor, a man who received 1900
votes for the republican nomination
for United States Senator on the re-
publican ticket in 1922, and who so
ably supported Wheeler for Senator
in the final campaign of the same
year, a man who in his day occupied
the pulpit in some of the largest pro-
testant churches in this state, as a
"small town preacher" Yet Mr..
Cresap represents himself as 9
Christian gentleman, and man
above such first ward tactics. Cresap
and StraWman several times in the
July LIST issue of their paper allege
that Anderson while a member of
the Association has not paid his men,
bership note yet, nor shipped a bushel
of wheat to the pool. When Mr..
! Cresap started the organization in
Richland county, he went to see Sen.
Anderson and begged his support Of
the Association, and asked for the
prestige of his name, in organizing
] the COUNTY OSHs AHGCISOAis WAlllC
farming, did not raise any wheat
/ he raised potatoes and alfalfa, and
some other small grain. and has not
raised any wheat since he joined, and
he joined with the understanding that
when he raised any wheat he would
cOnsign it to the pool. Even
Mr.. Cresap would not ask Sen. An
dersOn to buy wheat to ship to the
pool. Sen. Anderson has never
missed an opportunity to boost the
pool; he has written for it, spoken
in favor of it publicly and private
". He has been responsible fOl
many members and the shipment oil
much wheat to the Association. Last
year he offered his services to the
Association as an organization speak
er, but Mr.. Cresap who was cam
paigning at the time for UniteC
States Senator, and who is very jeal
GUS of Sen. Anderson, said, when HI
refused Sen. AndersOn's service, :
cannot sell Sen. Anderson to the PEG
Die of Montana" Cresap inferred
that Sen. Anderson lied in his articl
to the press about Cresap, Jewett
and the SIS taxi fee, printed else
, where in this paper. Those VIII
|, know Sen. Anderson, know the Sena
tor did not lie: those who know Ores
an and StraWman know that the,
| both lie without conscience Wheneve
it serves their purpose. Mr.. Cresa
, refers to Sen. Anderson as a dema
gOgue and denies the story, but h
! does not produce the check. Cresa
then makes little journey into poll
! tics. The people who know Ser
Anderson, want him as a member o
( the Board of Directors of the Whea
, Pool: they think that his ability an
!. his integrity will be a great asset t
n the Association and they are going t
. elect him. Beside Sen. Andersen
' Pres. Cresap is a mere pee wee, ply
: sically. morally and mentally. /
defeat Sen. Anderson would refieC
o upon the intelligence of the people
q Sen. AndersOn's district. Any Otht
Q persons than Cresap and Strawma
v would welcome Anderson onto tt
: Board, but small men quail before
man like Sen. Anderson.
