THE BANKERS OF MONTANA
announce the holding of a convention
at Glacier Park at an early date. No
one viii deny that they selected an
aDpr0priate place. The glaciers in
the park are no colder than were the
hearts of the bankers while they were
engaged in robbing the depositors of
the state of their hard earned say
ings. The sessions Of the convention |
are certain to be well staged affairs |
calculated to make a good impression
on the public. The ways and means
Of fleeing the public in the future |
will be discussed in hooks and Gran |
les by the assembled white collared
bandits. How they will chuckle when /
they hear the report of how the bank
ers lobby sandbagged the last session |
OF the legislature into defeating the I
Bank Depositors Guarantee Law. /
They wont waste much sympathy on |
the solons who committed political |
Hau Kari by voting for the bankers |
and against their constituents at Hell /
ena The blood Of the bankers is |
about the same temperature as the
iacLas dangling from the cliffs in the I
park The public representatives who /
plosttuted themselves at Helena in /
the interest of the money changers
will find this a cold hard world when I
next election rolls around.

A REMNANT SALE was held at
the political pie counter at Helena
last week. The mildewed pie was
handed out by the Democratic head
waiter to two Republicans and one T
Democrat, VIZ: Lee Dennis, w. c..
balIey and Dave Marks. The politi-
cal gums of the aforementioned gen
uemen show signs of pyorrhea de-
Veloped by over indulgence in public
pastry. Instead Of sitting up on high
stools and continuing to MUNICH stale
ple they would be well advised to
consult DR.. Mickey" McGlynn and
senator Taylor who have an Unfailinp,
specific for political as well as phvsi
cal gum rotting in Pyradium. Eating
lemon pie in the day time at the state
capitol and breathing the corrosive
alr oil the Placer lobby at night has

WORD COMES FROM HELENA
Jnat the State Fair viii be held as
usual this year despite the fact that
tae late Montana Legislature failed to
make the usual appropriation. This
year the fair viii be conducted under
Iae auspices of the county commits

Helena fair board and the State Fair
Doafd. LIT viii be a purely Helena
proposition financed beforehand, as it
Sao9-d be, by the Businessmen of Hell
ena who viii derive most advantage
Ifom it. AT the last session of the
legislature the appropriation for the

Y u lhe state, except the residents of
He!ena, seemed to think that the

In the discussions on the floor of
the house the chief reason advanced

was that the people wanted economy
