SPREADING fast

The officials in charge of the
fourth annual stampede to be held in
Wolf Point, July 10, II and IL, are
lighted with the strong and early
interest shown in this big event. The
secretary and manager are already
eceiving many inquiries from riders
performers and people interested in
the Stampede for various differing
reasons. The liberal prizes paid and
the big success of former years have
built up a reputation for the Wolf
Point Stampede that makes it easier
each year to bring in big squad Of
high class performers as we'll as plen-
ty of horses and stock.
The features being gotten together
ill easily make the strongest pro-

DOLLAR DAY DREW
CROWDS OF BUYERS

Wolf Points Dollar Day, put on
last Saturday, was again a decided
success. In addition to the large
Folume of buying done by town peo-
ole, the largest crowd of country
people were on the streets that have
been in in several months, and this,
n spite of the fact that rain threat
7ned during the forenoon and must
nave kept many people at home.
The demands were stronger IN
some lines of merchandise than
others and the reports Of merchants
range from glowing to satisfactory.
1t is the season when many people are
not as long on cash as they are in
the fall, but the very liberal offers
made by nearly all concerns induced
sufficient buying to total up a splen-
did amount for the day.
A newspaper does not have a great
many dollar bargains to offer but
specials advertised by the Herald
brought the biggest Dollar Day busi-
ness the paper ever enjoyed includ-
ing nice list of new subscribers
This last dollar day was another
demonstration of the power of adj
especially cooperative and
specific advertising.
1t was evident from the comments
Of various people that if the mer-
chants offers had been published
week before they were the results
would have been still bigger. The
concerns Of the city appre-
late the good response they get from
.hese cooperative bargain days and
'ope that every one who visited
Wolf Point last Saturday found it
veil worth their while.

Our Washington Letter

at present it appears that the indif-
ference of party workers to the plat
form of intentions is something
which will cause sleepless nights un-
less the sentiment is changed or
| checked. No great leader could rea-
sonably expect tranquility but the
continuance and growth Of party in
stability is decidedly irritating in
election periods. There is some sat
isfaction in knowing which way the
cat viii jump.
In an effort to obtain an unbiased
view Of the reaction to the Cleveland
convention, the writer interviewed
several hundred delegates and profess
sional observers at Cleveland and on
their return to Washington. The list
included all types of Republicans from
the extreme conservative to the So
called radical" It was generally
agreed that the selection of Coolidge
and Dawes to head the Republican
ticket was commendable. The con-
census of opinion was to the effect.
that these torch-bearers were of SO
widely different character that their
candidacy would appeal to many clas-
ses of voters. Some held that Dawes
: Republican with liberal views,
and with personality far more ap- |
pealing to the popular fancy than Mr..
Coolidge. Some shrewd politicians
were of the opinion that Candidate

GREAT FALLS LAWYER
DELIVERS ADDRESS

Last evening at the high school
assembly, l. Parker Veazy, Great
Fails attorney, made an address ex-
planning the provisions and the work
ngs Of the Esch-Cummins railroad
law. Mr.. Veazy is counsel for the
Great Northern railway, succeeding
rs f9ther in that position, and is
thoroughly versed in the subject of
1la address. He was introduced to
5ne audience by Attorney H. N. Mar
ron.
The speaker discussed the more es-
sential points of this lengthy and com
plicated statute, dealing particularly
with the criticisms that are made
2gainst it. The law was passed by
large majority in both the national
House and Senate and became a law
in March 1920 as a measure for
government regulation of the rail
Dads under private operation when
they were passed back from the gov
ernment to private owners. Mr..
Veazy answered the criticism CON
.erning a guaranteed income to the
oads by explaining that it applied
to only the first six months following
the enactment of the law. He also
took up the criticism concerning the
valuation on which net incomes are
based. He made no reference to
the labor board or the labor phase
Of the question Of railroad regula-
tion.
A fair sized audience of business
men and laboring men attended the
meeting and Mr.. Veazy, who is deliv-
ering a series of these addresses, ex-
pressed himself to Secretary Gordon
IF the commercial club, as pleased
with the turnout, saying it was the
argest meeting of the kind he had
addressed.

Eastern Writers Voice
Opinions OF Northwest

The great northwest, particularly
the state of Montana, has advanced
from the bottom of it's depression.
which never was as deep as the rest
of the country and the world thought.
and is building on a stronger founda-
ton than ever before. This is the
context of the message to the nation
from the 80 editors, special writer's,
financial experts and others who visit
ed Great Falls week before last on
a survey of the northwest, which was
occasioned by adverse reports con
cerning the territory's farm and fl
nancial status outlined in a leading
publication.
Broadcast Real Truth
AS the storm of protest against
these reports spread throughout the
area and the demand grew that the
truth be given, L. w. Hill, chairman
Of the board of the Great Northern
railway and Ralph Budd, president
of the road, arranged for a special
train to take the editors and writer's
on tour to obtain first-hand infor-
nation and to broadcast the north
vests condition exactly as they OBJ
served it.
Their report is that the northwest
and Montana are districts with vast
possibilities and too few press agents. !
Montana's only serious need is a /
greater population to take advantage
of its Opportunities and continue the
development already under way and
larger population is bound to result |
after the true story of the state has
reached all sections, is the concensus
Of opinion expressed by members of
the party
All of the writers declare that the
problems Of the state are virtually
settled, that the unfit have suffered

,rade when times have been stringent,

South Dakota swung right into line

Wisconsin, habitat of LaFollette,

But on the nomination for vice
president it was different story.
There came one Of the most sem
sational developments in Ameri-
can political history. Frank O..
Lowden, called by the West to get
IN the ticket, refused to accept the
place given to him by acclamation
on the second ballot.
The nomination of General Dawes
came on the third ballot, the first
taken after the recess, after short
race with Herbert Hoover.
Ticket of Conservatism
The delegates left Cleveland sat
isfied that they had made the right
ticket. It is ticket of conservatism.
it is centered naturally in Calvin
Coolidge.
Coolidge nomination came on the

president. He left that to the dele
gates. Dawes may not have been his
y choice but certainly it is salts
factory to him. It must be said that
next to Lowden, the real sentiment
of the covention was for Dawes.
Collidge' nomination came on the
very first ballot. North Dakota,
South Dakota and Wisconsin, from
the upper Mississippi valley, alone

lust six-that were pledged to any
thing LaFollette wanted. So they
didn't stand with Coolidge. South Da-
sta was pledged by the presidential
preference primary. So it cast 10
Of its 13 votes for him on the first
ballot. Later South Dakota asked
that the nomination be made unani-

Great Demonstration
There was a real demonstration for
Coolidge when Marion Leroy Burton,

demonstration than national political
