American Legion sympathlzers, the
fellows who a few years ago made the
"World Safe for Democracy" decided
it was about time that the soldier
bows took a more active interest IN
public education and got together and
elected Soldierboy Ole A. Moe onto
the school board by a majority OF
thirteen in a sticker campaign. There
were four candidates in the field.
Onlv one however, George =. Bolster,
the retiring member had been regu-

name printed on the ticket. The re-

Wheeler Raps Charges
Asserts They Are To Hamper Investi
cation of Justice Department

Washington, April s. Senator
Wheeler in a statement Tuesday night
declared the Indictment returned
against him in Great Falls was
brought "sOlely for the purpose" of
interfering with the senate investi-
cation of the department Of justice.
1t was convincing evidence, he assert
ed, that the investigation of the de-
partment should go on, and he de-
clared that it would go on because
the action in Montana "shows that
even with Daugherty out of Office his
malign influences still moves his cid
pawns." The indictment, the state
ment added "evidently was brought
at the instigation of the republican
national committee officials in con-
nivance with the late attorney gen
eral. and in the hope that it will be
tried before a judge who was a re-
cent selection of Daugherty.
Former Attorney General Daugh-
erty at the same time authorized the
statement that the evidence present
ed to the grand jury at Great Falls,
with reference to Senator Wheeler,
was uncovered by the postoffice de
partment and that the department of

Charge That Oil Men Hired
Senator After His Election
Campbell and Steven
son Also Accused In
True Bills; Frauds
By Mails Are
Alleged

The national capital Monday
shared with Great Falls the stage en-
which are appearing the actors in the
drama which embraces the senate
probe into the official conduct Of
former Attorney General Harry M.
DaCgheTty. While Burton X. Wheel
er, junior United States senator from
Montana, and chief inquisitor, was
prosecuting his case against the
office OF the recent head of the de-
partment of justice, a local grand
jury was returning an indictment
charging the senator with having i'm
properly represented Montana oil
operators in matters to which the
government was a party and in which
it had an interest.
Wheeler is made a defendant in the
Indictment on three counts. The first
count charges that on Jan. 8, 1928,
after his election to the senate and
before he took his seat on March 4,
1928. he agreed to accept from Cor
don Campbell, discoverer of the Ke-
vin-SunbTrst field and his associates,
a large sum OF money for services to
be rendered in relation to proceed
ings, to which the government was
a party, to determine the validity
and priority of six oil and gas per-
mits. Thereafter. it is charged, on
Jan. 10, 1923, Wheeler received $2,-
600 from Campbell as a fee for so
representing the Campbell interests,
and on Feb. is of the same year re-
ceived another $4,000 with the same
purpose in view.
Indict Campbell. Stevenson
Campbell himself is jointly indicted
with L. G. Stevenson of Great Falls,
on the charge that they fraudulently
used the United States mails in fnan-
cling the Gordon Campbell-Kevin syn
dicate No. 1. In a third indictment,
Campbell is named with E. J. Daley,
formerly of Great Falls and now
serving a term at LeavenwOrth for
his connection with Texas oil frauds,
and c. F. BloOmhauff, also a former
Great Falls man. on an identical
charge in connection with the fnan-
cling of the Gordon Campbell-Kevin
syndicate No. 2. Bloomhauff was in
dicted in Texas with Daley, and now
is fugitive from justice. Stevenson
and Campbell each gave $4,000 bond
Tuesday night.
Permits in which Wheeler is al
legged to have illegally interested
himself after his election to the SEN
ate are those issued prior to that
time to Philip S. MCGOWAN of Lewis
town, Lewis E. Lincoln of Great
Falls, Walter F. Scott Of Great Falls,
Daniel d. Rasmussen of Great Falls,
Daniel A. MacGcwan of Great Falls
and Gordon Campbell. The Philip
S. MacGOwan permit embraces 320
acres in section 8-35-2w, and the

with it."
WILL CONTINUE DUTIES
The Montana senator's statement
was issued after a conference with
his associates and after he had de-
cided not to return Immediately to
Montana to answer the indictment.
What legal steps are needed in the
first instance, he indicated, could be
taken here. 1t was his intention, he
emphasized, to continue his duties as
prosecutor" for the senate Daugher-
ty investigating committee.
Before issuing a more extended
statement, Senator Wheeler said:
"There is absolutely nothing to the
charges. This Indictment simply is
the result of my activities here on
the Investigating committee, trying
to show up the corruption in the de-
partment of justice"
The Montana senator at one time
reached the decision to return to Mon
tana Immediately and demand an
early trial, but after consultation
with several of his colleagues he de-

DR.. Storkan, who signed a

the reporting of removal of L.

after that man had been cperat-
ed upon by DR.. Faucet and DR..
Healey of Flaxville at the Out
look Community Hospital, seven
teen miles over frozen roads to
the Plentywood Hospital, early

North Dakota, exhumed at the

that he might be able to prove
that Ehrmanntraut died of penu-

every doctor will testify to, it be-

REDS PUT PEP IN ELECTION

City election Monday was about
the most active that PlentywoOd ev-
er experienced.
After the coup d. tat, Saturday,
when Ole A. Moe was elected on the
school beard on a sticker campaign,
the 100 per centers and other of the
very best were aroused as they were
never aroused before. and after
day of intensive campaigning, the
blindpiggers, kluXers, society ladies
and 100 per centers put over their
ticket with substantial majOrities,
electing Ray Lang as alderman in
ward one. over George Wheeler by
a vote of fifty to seventy and Jack
Kjelstrup over Martin Nelson in the
second ward by a vote of seventy
one to one hundred fifteen, or a ma
jority of GA in the two wards. Prob
abaly the biggest vote ever cast in a
city election was cast. Only three or
four registered voters failed to vote.
There was no mayor elected this
time.
Sunday morning, after the election
of 0. A. Moe on the school board, the
piggers and 100 per centcrs were
aroused by T. w. Greer and Ray
Lang. They feared another victory
by the hated reds. They called the
clans together. They put out all
sorts Of stories. They went to see
Geo. Wheeler and Martin Nelson and
tried to get them to withdraw but
without success. They worked and
agitated all day and Monday morn
ing at eight o'clock all of the red
haters were out in their autoes haul
ing voters to the polls All Of the
candidates were withdrawn except
one in each ward on each side. Pos
ters were put out announcing the
