Farmer-Labor Cast Big Vote
in Spite of Fact That Only
Third of Farmers Vote In
Primaries - Republicans
Get Out Full Strength
While Farmers Are Busy
Cutting Golden Harvest.
INVERSION NOMINATED
FOR COMMISSIONER
Republicans Get Over Third
of Their Total Vote in Plen-
tywOOd - Democrats VIII
Have Full Ticket In Field.

Election day, Tuesday, Aug. 26th
was a hot day-One of the hottest of
the year. The grain was ripening
fast, and nearly every farmer was
in the field, and only a few of them
took the trouble to go to vote Prac-
tically every farmer in Sheridan
County belongs to the Farmer-La-
Dor party and as there were practical
ly no contest cn the ticket, the only
one being between Ed. IversOn and A.
G. Madsen for County Commissioner
and there being no doubt of the nOni-
nation of the farmer-labor Confer
ence nominee, Ed Iverson, only a few
of the farmers bothered about going
to the polls, but in spite of that the
farmer-labOr party cast over 600
votes.
The contest for the nomination for
Judge on the republican ticket deVel-
Oped the only local interest. The con-
test for the nomination on the cOun-
ty ticket being a spiritless affair, as
everyone knew and conceded that not
a republican on the county ticket has
ghost of show of being elected in
November, so nomination was an emp
ty honor. But the contest for Judge,
and the desire on the part of the old
looting gangsters to make as good
showing as possible IN the county,
brought cut the entire strength of the
republicans. Practically every quail
fed vote in the cities and villages of
Sheridan County was cast Probably
the best showing ever made at a pri-
mary election was made. This was
the result of the contest between L.
j. Onstad and Paul Babcock for Judge
of the district court. The friends of
both candidates were out with cars
during the entire afternoon. When
the polls closed and the votes were
counted, it was found that Onstad had
received 271 votes in the County and

In SETTING TRIAL

Chicago, Aug. 28.-The setting cf
the arraignment of Senator Burton
K. Wheeler, at Great Falls, Mont, for
next week, when he was planning a
campaign in New England as a can
didate for vice-president, was brand
ed an attempt to prostitute the pro-
cesses of justice for political pur-
pOses," in a statement Wednesday
night by United States Representative
John M. Nelson, national LaFOllette-
Wheeler campaign manager.
Representative Nelson pointed out
that the senate had exonerated Sen
ator Wheeler of the charges covered
in the pending Indictment brought Gin
the midst Of his exposure of the de-
partment of justice and Attorney
General Daugherty."
Senator Wheeler has been demand
ing a trial cf his case ever since last
May" the representative continued.
'It was only after Senator Wheeler
had announced the opening of his
speaking campaign in Boston, on La
Dor day that he was notified he would
be alraigned that very day.
''Ihc action of the Montana dis
trict attorney in arraigning Senator
Wheeler on September 1 is a clear
indication that the department of jus
tice is to he used as an adjunct of the
republican national committee in this
campaign
Having failed to prevent Senator
Wheeler from going on with the in
vestigation of the department of JUS

republican party now seeks to pre-
vent him from carrying the facts Of
this corruption to the people of the
country by bringing him to trial in

LOOKS LIKE
DIRTY WORK
Jack O'Grady Gathered Ballot
Boxes and Brought Them in
Some Sacks Tempered With.
GREEN INK BACK IN COUNTY

Pop Bottle Jack O'Grady has
a way OF his own getting in the
election returns. In every other
county in the state, the clerk of
the election boards bring in the
returns Immediately after the
vote is completed, but in Sheri-
dan County, Pop Bottle Jack does
things differently. He waits until
he scbers up the next day after
election and then he drives out
himself in his little ford for them.
In this way Jack gets all of the
mileage at 1919 cents per mile
for gathering the returns.
He was assisted in this arduous
work by Earnie Lang of the Liz
zie Garage.
In other counties where the
clerks bring in the reports,
Wednesday by noon, the reports
We're in. This was true in Valley,
Roosevelt and Daniels counties,
but in Sheridan County, the re-
ports were not available until
Friday morning, and even as the
Producers News goes to press, if
a special car had not gone to the
several precincts for the reports
they would not be available.
If the clerks were to bring in
the returns the money would be
divided up some, but Jack does
not believe in dividing up.
Besides there is always the Op-
portunity to stop in some conven-
lent place and doctor the returns
if necessary. The Producers News
has not yet learned as it goes to-
press whether Green Ink Rodger
accompanied Jack on any of these
trips.
Green Ing Rodger and Pop
bottle Jack are surely thick and
it is generally understood that
Green Ink was brought back to
Sheridan county in order to at
tend to things here this fall. 1t
is reported that he is looking af-
ter the interest of Paul Babcock
even now.
1t is said that L. J. Onstad is
having a man keep watch of the
court house in order that no
skulduggery takes place before
sunrise Saturday morning.
II is said chat some of the
sacks were open when they ar
rived in Plentywood, looking as
: if they had been tampered with.
