Wolf Point Kept Pledge
Its Check Well Guarded

The Poplar Standard, in discuss
ing the Wolf Point $4,000 check
again displays its inability to tell the
truth or confine itself to things
whereof it knows the facts. But all
Jerome and the remnant of the old
guard have left is their ability to
spread untruthful and unfounded pro-
paganda. But it is getting to be
terribly old stuff. It must be a
hopeless job trying to push it. 1t
did not go in 1922 and is still hard
er to put over now.
The Standard says in its issue of
Aug. 8, 1924, that the check was ad-
vertised to the wide world to be used
to equip an office building. To be
brief and blunt, this statement is a
lie, pure and unadulterated. No
such advertising was put out, through
this paper or otherwise. The word
ing of the pledge to which the check
was pinned, as surety of good faith,
proves what the check was to insure,
and that wording will be found in
another place in this issue of this
paper,
Check Intact and Good
Froid's enemies seek to slur J. w.
Schnitzler in some miserable under
handed manner. One Poplar paper
wonders if Schnitzler has cashed the
check to buy Lincoln car. The
wary editor may put his mind at rest
the writer of this, today, saw the
check and it is still intact, unindors-
ed, good for its face, and is perfect
assurance that the pledge it binds
will be carried out to the last detail.
Put Trust in Schnitzler
Knowing him to be one OF the most
honorable and trustworthy men in
all the great state Of Montana, the |
men of Wolf Point made the check |
to J. w. Schnitzler as trustee, to hold
for the people of the county until
the service pledged to the county
was carried out. Commissioner Vein
rich this week wanted to see it and
his wish was granted. He wanted to
see the original writing Of the pledge
by Wolf Point. And he saw that al
SO. and now knows both are being
well guarded by Mr.. Schnitzler and
honored by Wolf Point.
Wolf Point has moved the county
seat free Of cost to the county.
Did Poplar do as much when they
moved it from Mondak?
Wolf Point has furnished the Of
fices temporary quarters without
cost to the county.
Did Poplar do the same in the
same circumstances.
Wolf Point offers to fit up the Col
seum free of cost to the county it !
The county either rents or buys the
building, which is more than she Of !
fered during the 1922 campaign.
The Old Game
The railroad office building now Of 5
,ers better, more convenient and
,gr cheaper housing for the whole
county seat-offices, court and jail :
Ill at one place-than it ever had .
before. Less than $1100 annual
entail, think of it!
But the Standard ever hopes to
,ore in, inject some poison, and hurt e
omebody with uninformed voters v
,chnitzler, or Lesson, or Wolf Point. s
)nce they sought to attack Schnitz- n
ers war record, but when they found II
e had bought $4,000 of Liberty G
onds they quit. Leeson has stood II
IL their tests and proven absolutely
rue to his oath of office. II
AS for Wolf Point, she will stand Il
n her record of faith kept with the Il
eople. She is proud of the honor 9
upon her and of the trust tt
eposed in her by the people. She IS
-ould scorn to stoop to ducking and v;
overing to avoid bonds and court
ldgments. Wolf Point and the
ther friends of the "Clean House" tn
re again glad of the opportunity to M
ave the issues to the judgment and tn
le justice of the people. I'll
