CAMPERS WELCOME ON
HELENA FAIR GROUNDS

The first reservation for tent and
camp space on the tourist camp
grounds of the Montana State fair for
1924 comes from Scobey, in far north
eastern Montana. Make reservations
for party of five, as am coming with
my family to spend the entire week at
Helena this year" the intending camp
er wrote Secretary Moore.
Started as an experiment for the
fair of 1922, the tourist camp grounds
more than justified expectations in
1923, when every available site was
occupied by camping families who re-
NAMED on the grounds in comfort,
many of them during the entire week.
Electric lights and running water, free
fire wood, provision deliveries daily,
tents for rent-these are some of the
advantages that have made the tourist
camp popular. The camp has devel-
oped from clearing out the under
growth from a beautiful grove just
west of the main agricultural han on
the Montana State fair grounds.
Special weekly rates that admit fam
lilies to each day and night perform
ance are inducements to those who in
tend driving to the State fair to try
the ground accommodations.
Long before September %, when the
Montana fair opens, most of the space
on the tourist camp viii be reserved,
and the State fair management is con-
sidering enlarging the available space
if the early inquiries promise campers
more numerous than in 1923.

REFUTE
 INSANE" CHARGES
 OF PUBLIC PRINTER
Senators Also Surprised at Vicious Attack Made Upon 5000
 Government Workers.

Public Printer George H. Carter, who has been storm center since his appointment by President Harding nearly three years ago, didn't spread any oil on the troubled waters when he made speech at an employing printers convention in Atlantic City a few days ago. He charged employees of the government printing office with being a f.'motley crew of gamblers, bootleggers, drunkards, grafters, crooks and common 1oafers"
 This was good copy for the news agencies and the story was broad casted over the country. One looks i'll vain, however, to find any statement of the employees at Washington Ill the newspapers which published the At lantic City story.
 Members of the Senate and House committees on printing were astound- ed when they read Carter's speech as 1t appeared in the newspapers. In fact, senators and congressman and gov ernment departments have been i'm pressed with the good service rendered by the 5000 employees of the govern ment printing office
 Senator Moses of New Hampshire, chairman of the Senate committee on printing, said this was, all fresh news to him. Senator Capper of Kansas. another member of. the committee, said he would demand further infor- nation of Public Printer Carter.
 Frank H. Long, president of Co., lumbia Typographical Union, branded Carter as ''willful, malicious fa1sifer, put into the government printing office by the National Manufacturers Association to discredit and destroy the printing trade unions
 When Carter was appointed the unions protested his confirmation by the Senate on the ground that he was unqualified for the position under the law, which specifies that the public printer shall be practical printer At

their support in holding on to his job Judging from his speech, Carter must have been in close communion with Atlantic City bootleggers."
 E. H. Walker, formerly foreman of the pressroom division, whom Carter named as one of the gamblers" who had been discharged, declared that "Mr. Carter is evidently insane. I re- signed to take position in the Yet erans' Bureau, and was not discharged Carter holds his position illegally, and obtained Senate confirmation of his nomination through fraud that I stand ready to prove"

the time of appointment Carter was secretary of the joint committee. on printing of the Senate and House, and it was asserted that the nearest he ever came to knowing the printing business was in the capacity of a newspaper reporter.
 George c. Seibold, secretary of Co., lumbia Typographical Union, declared that mo better set of employees are to be found anywhere than those work ing in the government printing office. I am of the opinion that Carter's dia- tribe was intended to tickle the ears of 'open shop employers and gain

VANDERLiP'S SPEECH
BRINGS 100000 SUIT
Owners Of Marion Star Say
Banker Accuses Them of Bril-
ing Harding in Buying Paper.

New York - An action against
Frank A. Vanderlip for 100000 for
SANDER and libel was filed in the Fed
eral Court by Louis H. Brush and Roy
d. Moore, owners OF the Marion
(Ohio) Star.
The action was the reply to state
ments made by Mr. Vanderlip in
speech before the Rotary Club at Os-
shining on February u, in which he
quoted rumor to the effect that the
plaintiffs had paid $3.50, 000 to the late
President Harding for the Star, when
the property was worth only half as
much, and that the double price was
for a purpose that needed explanation
The papers include three causes of
action, on each of which damages to
the extent Of 100000 are asked. One
cause states that Mr.. Vanderlip wick.
edly and maliciously charged Brush
and Moore with bribing Warren c.
Harding, who was then President Of
the United States, to fail to perform
certain of his official duties as Presi-
dent, and that the bride consisted in
the payment to former President-Hard-
ing Of S550,000 in the purchase OF the
Marion Star, which was more than
twice its fair value"
The second cause Of action is based
on the fact that Mr.. Vanderlip direct
ly or indirectly caused his speech to
be published in the New York Tribune
the day after it was made, and it is
alleged that Mr.. Vanderlip had actual
ly provided for its publication by re-
Questing a reporter Of the Tribune to
be there when speech was delivered.
The third cause Of action is based on
the admission OF Mr.. Vanderlip, when
he was a witness before the Senate
Investigating Committee, that he ap-
proved Of the manner in which his
speech had been prepared by The AS
ISOLATED Press for use in the hundreds
OF newspapers served by it throughout
the civilized world 1t is charged that
because Of this action Mr. Vanderlip
was largely responsible for the wide
publicity given to the speech.
