use the workers and make it difficult
,or them to vote according to their
class interests.
But the proposed amendment also
calls for the non-partisan ballot and
since 1t is a choice between two non
partisan systems, the one which pro-
vides for proportional representation
is the one for labor to support.
The policy of neutrality followed by
the Cleveland Federation of Labor in
it's refusal to take a stand on the ques-
ton, must be thoroly condemned, not
only as being a concession to capital
list politicians, but as being wrong in
principle. Every political issue is of
Importance to labor in one way or an
other, at the very least it strengthens
the political power of labor every time
the workers consciously attempt to
unitedly support their class interests

Keeping in mind that labor must
work for labor party, and for sys-
tenn of proportional representation en-
bodying the partisan ballot, the work

take definite stand on the proposed

SEN. SCHNITZLER
WOULD ESTABLISH
new COUNTY LINES
Poplar Standard Editor Accuses
Senator from Roosevelt County
With Movement Tor Creating New
County.

The following article taken from
the Poplar Standard gives the general
trend of opinion as being expressed
in Roosevelt County:
Through petitions that have been
circulated and statements that friends
have given out it is leaned that John
w. Schnitzler, senator from this
county, seeks To have the present as
sembly now in session 1t Helena, es-
ta5lish neW lines & evelt coul-
ty.
1t is understood thai in construct
ing the county lines he would take
four townships away from Sheridan
county in part of Roosevelt county
and donate them a couple or more
townships in another part, 1t is all
so rumOred that he would annex about
six townships from Daniels county
and also take a few townships away
from Valley county In carrying out
/ his scheme. Poplar people have not
/ been let in on this deal but are hear
| ing about it from people who live IL
other parts of the county and ac-
/ cording to the talk the whole thing
is a plan of Schnitzler's to fulfill {
prediction promise to divide tht
county at some future time in sucl
a manner that Froid would be made
the county seat.
Of course it is no small job to di
vide a county and before it is done ;
lot of things may happen. On thing
is certain, however, that if it IS th'
/ Senator Scnnitzler's plan to changt
the lines, the real purpose behind hi
present move is to get a sulticien
valuation before a new county is ere
ated which by the way, is quite
necessary thing to do

AUTOMATIC SHOTGUNS GUARD ENTRANCE

The largest moonshine distillery
ever discovered in Montana was
seized by Sheriff Salisbury and two
Federal officers Tuesday night on the
Fred Richardson place, eight miles
south of Plentywood. The distilleTy
was dug into the hill in a coulee out
cf sight from any road, and also
protected from view by large clumps
Of bushes.
Last fall, two men by the name Of
Chas. and David Peterson, rented the
old Richardson place from Mrs. Bar
ney johnson, for the evident purpose
of locating their still there. The
strangers Immediately started work
equipping their distillery and it is
reported that they have invested
$4,000 in the venture. Elaborate ar
rangements were made for heating
the mash as several large gasoline
burners We're found in the place
which would do away with the disad-
vantage of smoke which would have
created suspicion. An underground
pipe leading into the works from a
nearby spring and an elaborate drain
age system and also arrangements
for the disposal of the mash had
been made. The outfit operated on
the gravity principle and the alcohol
was strained thru charcoal before il
was put into kegs and barrels. In
the distillery were found six large
watts, each holding 1000 gallons Of
mash, three stills Of 100 gallon ca
pacity each with burners under eacI
still, charcoal distlling nlant, ffty
empty barrels, large numbers of emp

Tuesday night, "Red" Bolster, local

The fight fans saw some real fight
ing, but Ferguson who has had much
more experience than "Red" was
much faster and harder.
I'm the fourth round, Bolster who
had been i'll two days before the
fight with a tSdch of bronchitis, was
fast tiring and after exchanging a
few blows, Ferguson slipped over the

The young Plentywood boxer is not
discouraged over his defeat, and no
