DEFENSE FUND FOR
GORDON CAMPBELL
RAEEDBY FRIENDS

Great Falls, May ll.--A movement
has been initiated here and In northern
Montana communities to raise q de-
Tense fund for the benefit of Gordon
Campbell, discoverer of the Kelvin
Sunburst oil field, who was recently
convicted In federal court on fraud
charge and sentenced to two years at
Leayenworth. Campbell intends to APP
peal the case.
A committee has been organized for
the receiving Of popular subscriptions.
The first step in Campbeli's appeal
was taken in Butte Saturday, when
Judge George M. Bourquin signed the
instruments which will carry the case
to the circuit court of appeals at
San Francisco. Sam Stephenson, pres
ident of the First National bank Of
Great Falls, and w. M Gillis, pro-
prietor Of the Gerald cafe, signed the
bonds to cover costs and fine.
Throughout Great Fails, the heNin
field and other places where Campbell
is best known, spontaneous desire
TO aid the oil man to carry his fight
to higher courts has arisen, his friends
say. This attitude was apparent the
moment the news Of conviction was
broadcast and 1t crystallized in SEN
timsnt 10 financially aid Canpbeh.
Tbs first "a come to Csnapbell's -
sistapce were oil field employees In the
vicinity ofgKevin, near which place
Campbeli's discovery well WINS brought
in. Through voluntary subscriptions,

fund campaign took form, field work

The former governor said that in
considerable portions of the country
farms cannot be sold today for the
value Of the improvements the farmers
have installed. The new fence has
gone, he said. Old barns, old fences,
old houses going to ruin for lack Of
paint are to be found on every hand.
And yet despite these facts which are
gathered from the records" he said,
there has been a persistent effort
during all these years Of farm dis

the agricultural situation.

the agricultural depression as myth
have appeared with astonishing reg
uiarity during all this time, denying
there has been serious situation on
the farm, or announcing confidentially
that the farmers troubles were over
and that his future was assured"
False Facts
The manner in which the city pub
lie is misled by the city newspapers
was brought clearly to the front.
IF the price OF some major farm
product, as cotton, for instance, goes
up, as 1t did the year before last on
account Of the ravages Of the boil
wevil," Governor Lowden explained
that abnormally high price has been
employed to reconstruct the modern
magical index number so as To show
the purchasing power Of the farmer
has been restored And this despite
the fact that during this very time,
yield was so low outside the two states
of North Carolina and Texas that the
cotton farmers of the south found
themselves in as desperate a situation
as they ever faced"

drought should net be Welcomed in
