governor both men distinguished for faithful and
loyal service in the progressive movements Of
North Dakota. The Farmer-Labor Ticket makes
clear cut fight against reaction, composed of
the remains of the old I. V. A and the "Pie
Counter Residue" of the old Nonpartistan League
united in the Republican party-some of these
Republicans are Of course making a progressive
noise for the purpose Of keeping that element
out Of the party where it belongs-the Farmer
Labor party. 1t is likely that the Republicans
will win but a real foundation for the FL party
has been laid that will be formidable two years
hence.
In South Dakota there has been strong Far
mer-Labor party for four years. Last year Alice
Daley received fortyeight thousand votes for gov
emor on that ticket The party has full ticket
in the field headed by Tom Ayres. the veteran.
progressive of that state as candidate for gov
ernor. At party conference at Huron on Octo-
Der 1st representatives of the party attended
from all over the state enthusiasm run high, and
plans were laid for an active campaign during
the next month. The Republican party is split
with leading Republican running for Governor
as an Independent, making with the democratic
candidate, four cornered fight, giving Tom
Ayres chance to win.
In Montana, the Famer-Iabor party has put
up Clair Stoner for Congress and is maintaining
the party organization This being an off year,
only two judges of the supreme court and pub
lie service commissioner to be elected, there is
not much interest in State politics. There is,
however, a growing interest in the party in the
state and in 1923 with the organization Of a
National movement it will be formidable.
! In Washington there is healthy party Idalo
has a progressive party. Oklahoma has a party
All other third party movements are liquidated
The La Toilette personal protest died with the
Senator. Wheeler, as the last election
was over, beat it back to the "flesh pots" Of the
Democratic party and is now as regular as the
best democrat in the Senate. In Wisconsin the
reactonary wing of the Republican party is grad
ualy gaining control of the party. The Socialist
party is gone. The democratic party cannot per-
suade many that it is any more progressive than
the Republican party or any the less controlled
| by big business.
| So, it would seem, that the progressive element
has no vehicle for political activity except the
Farmer-Labor party, and as a result unless the
old parties do something progressive soon, the
Farmer-Labor party in 1928 will assume a nation
al aspect and become a formidable national par
ty-the only party with program.

Commissioners would pass back to the bankers and
a victory won by strategy that could not be won
by votes.
Commissioner French is very smooth. He has
performed well. He has been boring from within
every day that he has been on the job. He has
been patient and abiding his time. He had to be
careful until after the election was over if he hoped
to win-that is what Conner and the rest Of the
gang and the bankers told him; that is what
Banker Powers tells him every day.
After the election is over and Frank French is
in office for six years, then Eve can come out"
So Commissioner French has been very careful
of his acts during the time that he has been in
office.
The bankers don't like the way the county is
being run; there is no money in it for them; they
want change; they want TO go back to 10 percent
warrant discounts; to annual melon cuttings at
bond selling times; they want liberal
policy in regard to the deposting of county funds
For that reason they are all for Frank French
Banker Mckee, the crop grabber is for French
and is out working for him. All of-the members
of the old gang is supporting him. Jack o'Grady
and Oscar Collins and Ray Lang are supporting
him.
None Of the old element that used to rule the
county are out working for or carrying on a whis-
pering campaign for Peter HELM.
Why? Because they know that they cannot
handle the honest scandinavian farmer Of the
Comertown-McElroy territory.
That is the simple reason that they do not wan
him-and that is the reason that every taxpayer
and every farmer should vote for Pete Helm.
1t does not pay to take any chances on a county
commissioner.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1926-10-08
ELECT PETE HELM

Il is very important who is elected county COM
missioner this fall.
The future of the county depends much upon
whether the people select Peter Helm or Frank
French for this important office
If Helm is elected the present administration
Of the county will be continued, the present policies
of economy and retrenchment will be carried out
the county debts will be paid; the taxes will again
be reduced; the farmers will continue to govern this
county, as they have during the past six years.
If French is elected, the man picked by Banker
Powers of Medicine Lake, safely in office for six
years, will perform for the bankers who put him
in office. In other words there will be retro
gression to the conditions that used to be in this
county.
There is no one so gullible to think that Bank
er Powers and his clique and Judge Conner did not
know what they were doing when Conner as his
last official act appointed French to succeed Jens
Ibsen, resigned
Why did the retairing judge take such an inter
est in appointing a new commissioner? Why dc
he not leave the appointment to the new judge
whom the people had just elected who was tai1nl
office the next day? Why did Jens lbsen resigI
at the particular time that he did?
These things did not just happen to happen,
1t was no accident.
It was the result Of well laid plans; plans comes
over and thought out by the "old gang Of whic
Judge Conner was an intimate member. The bank
ers and the old politicians all had finger in tn
pie.

French's appointment was made-everybody VIII

TIME TOK. o. TEX RICHARD

Gene Tmney's victory over Jack Dempsey
for the heavyweight boxing championship is
hailed by many sentimentalists and sobssters and
other hopefuls as a great blessing to the cauli-
flower-ear industry.

Two weeks ago he promoted the Dempsey
Tunney fight. Dempsey got 100000 for his de-
feat, Tunney 100000 for his victory, and Tex
Richard a fat half-million for his audacity.
OF course it cost the dear old public in the
neighborhood of $4,000 O0-but it got it's moneys

Richard, who learned "gold digging" back in
the Alaskan days, didn't miss a single swing at
the public pocket-book He made many thousands
of dollars by selling exclusive radio broadcasting
rights of the fight to one company. He will gar
ner many thousands more from the moving pic

by selling an oil company permission TO fly an
airplant low over the crowded stadium. And he
managed to grab a few shekels more by selling
the back space on the round cards TO advertise

DEMONSTRATION Parry CROWS

The Farmer-Labor party is growing. 1t seems
to be developing from provincial opposition
party extent in Minnesota only, to an organiza-
ton Of national aspect which promises to be a
factor in the presidential election of 1923.
In Minnesota, in spite of all that democratic
intriguers and party traitors can do to destroy
it and deliver it into the democratic party, the
party has closed its ranks and is marching on to
splendid showing if not to victory this Novem-

| To Make Pine Cough
! Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to make.
Saves about 81

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have. a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrupS are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 22 ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molaSseS, honey.
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure, good, and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same-in-
named membranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for it's prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "214 ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any,
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

Washington, Mar. 1--(AP)-The

passed and sent to the senate the
Watson Parker bill, which would
abolish the railroad labor board and
set up a new machinery for voluntary
adjustment of disputes in the indus

The measure drafted by represen-

with 1t to the senate, where the pro-
posal, as agreed upon in conference
between the senate and house COM
merce committees before it was re-
ported to the house, Is pending on
the calendar.
When the senate committees bill is
called up, the house measure prob
ably will be brought forward in the
form of an amendment and house and
senate sponsors of the plan have in
dictated that they expect the time of
its enactment to hinge largely on the
senate attitude toward the house
amendments. These, both introduced
by chairman Parker of the commerce
committee, provides a guarantee of
