THE TWO DELEGATES

The records of the Republican con-
vention indicates that Burley Bowler,
The Scobey gambler, and Oscar Col
Inns, the Plentywood Dixon payroll
agent, attended the Republican state
convention at Helena last Friday and
Saturday. Burley, a Canadian citizen,
who left Canada between two days,
just after the war broke out, and who
has not been back since that anybody
knows Of, and who has made several
vain attempts to naturalize in this
state and nation, set in he convention
by virtue of q proxy from the Repub-
lican State Committeeman Of Daniels
County, who did net care to attend a
State Convention Of the party OF
Daugherty, Fall and Mellon. Oscar
Collins attended as the State Commit
teeman from Sheridan County
Whether he was actually elected to
that position by the County Commit
tee is gravely doubted, but as he is
one Of the state payroll who is out
working for Dixon, he probably got
his expense money cut Of the state
treasurer and could not resist going
moving as how the Governor would

EVERYTHING SLIPPING

Last week, the Farmerine, in a
streamar headline announced to an
anxious world that Taylor is slip
ping"
The line referred to the recent pri-
mary election in which the Rpublican
Party cast a few more votes than the
Farmer-Labor party, after the Farmer
Labcrers about two hundrld d strong
voted the Republican ticket to
help friends there being no contest
ON the Farmcr-Labor ticket to speak
of. This line and the story was fur
nished by Joe Dixon who sent Rodger
Burke up to edit the farmerine and
who is keeping Oscar Collins on the
State Pay rolls at $3.50 per month
loafing about Plentywood telling
Rodgsr Burke what to write next, cal
culated to put Taylor out Of business
asd by that it means to restore Sheri-
dan County TO the old locting rang
This line Of psychology surely IS in
teresting and pathetic. 1t shows tn
desperate hopes Of Dixon and the plan
he has Of destroying Taylor. If the
readers watch that paper thay will
observe that they will get portion
of this dope weekly until Of I cleo
ton. The stuff will appear in both the
the Sheridan County Farmer and the
Daniels County Leader. This dope has
been sent to other papers by the Gov
ernor with instructions to print and

not be ashamed or afraid ia stand for
the right
The controversy between The Klan
and the anti-spooBmen, apply in a
general way over the wEolc country,
but in Herrin there is another factor
enters to ombitter the fight and that
is the coal mines The law enforce
ment and Klan element have taken
sides against the union Miners in the
struggle for economic justice, which
is only a local demonstration Of the
world struggle.
We can only family imagine the
suffering Of the people of Herrin, the
terror of mind of a people with enc
mics on every hand of a people afraid
Of their own shadow. II is a time that
that calls for cool heads, broad minds
and brave hearts.
It is a time that calls for real men
and women, to stand for the right,
against wrong, and injustice every
where, before there is enacted other
scenes like Herrin.

WHAT SHALL WE Do TO BE SAFE
BY Prof CIR. Petite

The world is again shocked by an
other outbreak of hate, revenge and
fear, at Herrin Not so much perhaps
by the number Of casualties as the
manner in which they lost their lives,
and the motive or causes leading to
these terrible conditions.
AS many or more lose their lives
in almost any city by the auto or
moonshine or a combination Of these
two agents Of destruction and altho
those that lost their lives at Herrin
were not run down with the deadly
auto or drop dead by drinking the
more deadly moonshine, a number
took very informal departure to
other realms or in western language,
died with their boots on.
And although we believe both sides
arc in the wrong, we believe there
are two sides to the story. as there
are to most Of troubles Of this kind.
One Of the stories is by The side
called the law enforcement element
that claim that the officials elected
do not enforce the law or make an
honest attempt to enforce the law. but
protect the violators themselves, and
being violators are not in a position
to enforce the law and punish violat-
Ors
The other story is that the opposi
ton is composed Of members of the
K. K. K, that they are a secret orga-

stealing of $2l00 Of the Counties mon
ey collected from the farmers, did not
attend this convention, not because he
IS so much worse than some other cf
Dixon's henchmen, but he has been
caught. But now, Jacks usefulness
to the Governor is about ended, and
the entire responsibility Of attending
to DiXon's interests in this section Of
the state rests upon Oscars broad and
manly shoulders-Jack however lends
Oscar the benefit Of his splendid poll
tical advice, which is very valuable
There were only a couple of dozen
delegates present at the convention
in fact it was conspicuous because Of
smallness in members. Not many SEN
ators or members Of the legislature
cared to associate with a number Of
the delegates Dixon had attending.
Oscar and Burley were not appoint
ed on any Committees and took a very
inconspicuous part in the Pow Wow
They served mostly as landscape. Bur
ley played the part Of the Canadian
thistle and Oscar the part of the last
rose Of summer. He was badly faded
as usual. This is probably the last con-
vention Of any kind the above birds

QUICK CHANGES

There were a number of quick
changes at Helena last week. Most
of The people even now do not know
what it all means. Associate Justice
Charles Cooper, who was defeated
for the Republican denomination Of
the recent primaries resigned, because
of large estate, he says, laying in
four states that he has to administer,
which took Altogether too much of his
time away from the state house.
Upon the acception of Judge Cooper's
resignation by Governor Dixon, he i'm
medlat"ly appointed Attorney Gener-
al Rankin, who was defeated in the
primaries for the Republican nomina-
tiou for United States Senate as AS
sociate Justice, to fll out the remain
der of CoOper's term, a period of four
months. Upon the acceptance Of Ran
Hn's resignation the Governor ap-
pointed, l.. A. Foote assistant i'm Ran
kin's Office and Republican nominee
for Attorney General, to succeed At
toney General Rankin.
10 is reported that Rankin while
dealing with the Governor. refused to
sign his resignation until Dixon had
issued his appointment to the bench.
IL seems that Rankin does not place
any too much confidence in the integ-
rity of the governor, and less in his
word.
The wise ones have it that this ap-
pointment was given Rankin as a
pacifer in order to keep him on the
reservation during the coming cam
paign, it being rumered that Rankin
was on the war trial because Dixon
had double crossed him in the primary

contest. Rankin who wants the name
Judge as a handle to his name when
he returns to his private law practice
was responsible for Judge Cooper
ever being on the bench, and he and
Cooper were great friends Foot's ap-
pointment to succeed Rankin was
obvious, he being the Republican nom
inee for that position.
Governor Dixon is said to have
wanted to rid himself Of Rankin's
presence on the board Of examiners
and other boards which Rankin was
on by virtue Of his office. The bows
say that Foote is a more plant tool
of the Governors and so much more
acceptable to him. The Governor now
has things his own way on the boards.
Governor Dixon then appointed the
Republican nominees for Judge of the
district to succeed Mr.. Spencer, who
resigned only last spring to avoid be-
ing kicked out This appointment is to
help the Republican candidate defeat
his Democratic opponent However
widely distributed the appointments
were, nothing came to Sammy Ny
ouist of Sccbey, who deserted the
Farmer-Labor Party to support Ran
kin, Dixon and Coolidge, three months
after he had joined it and appeared
upon the platform in behalf of it, who
is quite likely to be a lame duck after
November 4th. Sammy will probably
move to Helena and go into Rankins
Office again in case Of his defeat which
seems now very likely. However,
many people are still guessing about
the quick changes in the state.

Glasgow, Sept. 9.-During the
months of July and August, while
haying and harvest have diverted at
tention somewhat from the farm
yard and pasture, the milk cows Of the
vicinity have nevertheless been as
busy as the rest of the money max
ing agencies Of the farm. The Val

livered to it. During the month Of

propaganda.
The Republicans after casting their
tull strength, practically every vote
IN Pientywood, Redstone, Outlook, An
telope, Medicine Lake and all of the
other villages were cast-ln fact the
primary vote was q record one for the
villages, the Republicans piled up
700 votes, while the Farmer-Laborites
polled $50 votes with 30 per cent or
less of the farmer votes cast. About
l4O0 votes were cast primary day out
OF nearly 1000 registered. The regu-
lar strength of the opposition to the
farmers is about 900 yotes-the reg
ulcr farmer vote at the November
election is about 100 votes. The
coming November it will be very
much larger.
however between now and Novem-
Der, the sangsters and Joe Dixons
organs will have Taylor slipping more
and more each issue.
That is the line Of psychological
bunk that the Dixon crowd, who have
put the Indian sign on Taylor have
decided upon. Every Farmerino will
be full of it for the next six weeks,
and go per cent of its space will be
about Taylor, but on election day, the
cutit will find that Taylor will have

Not because it would be possible
for anyone to do anything that would
offend the old gang, and if sheriff
Salisbury had ever done one Of the
things that this outfit accuse him Of,
they would be cut supporting him to
the last man.
For example take O'Grady's-after
Jack stole S2l00 Of the taxpayers
money, he became the great mafifa Of
gang; after Bridget stole 500 or $500
of the fee money and falsefied her re-
records and made periured oaths, she
became the Joan dc Arc Of the hooters
and usurers. None of them are to
miserable to.apologize for them or
sing their prasses.
Rodney Salisbury is the best sheriff
this county ever had. The money
lenders want him out Of Office because
they cannot handle him He refuses
to prostitute his Office into a collect
ing agency in their behalf. When
they want to seize evrything a poor
farmer has on phoney mortgage,
whether the property is included in
the mortgage or not, Rodney says no.
He refuses to seize a red steer when
the mortgage calls for black heifer. IF
.he would~do this, he would be o. k.
with the money lenders but the
farmers and workers of Sheridan
county have a square deal while Rod
ney is Sheriff and they arc going to
keep him right there too.
