MOVE IS UNDER WAY
Donaghey of Arkansas Tells
Congress to Act or Face
=. Political Split.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. ga move
anent which may bring about for
nation Of an out-and-out farm
party if the next Congress fails to
pass an Agricultural relief bill, was
under way today.
The possible third party" in
Movements in the next presidential
election originated in the meeting
of 300 farm leaders of the MiSSiS-
sippi valley here.
Gathered to crystalline farm
sentiment, with a view to placing
the farmers cause before both
parties, the agriculturalists took a
firm stand today against party lines
which interfere with farm relief
The McNary- Haugen, bill was the
bombshell of the meeting. Unquali-
f1edly, the delegates criticised those
responsible for its not having be-
come law"
Donaghey Sounds View
Today's movement toward farm
party centers around the provisions
of this bill. The keynote of the
new party platform is Federal aid
for the farmer-a help to the
farmer which will be equivalent to
the tariff aid for industry.
Those attending the meeting be-
lieve the McNary Haugen measure
is constitutional-they believe it so
firmly that they have pledged them
selves to work for it's passage again,
in the hope that the President twill
not again see fit to veto it"
Former Governor George w.
Donaghey of Arkansas, recognized
farm leader of the South, expressed
the first intimations regarding a
possible third party to the United
Press.
IF our legislative program to
drive the McNary- Haugen bill
through Congress" he said, fails
again at the White House believe
there is strong possibility that an
out-and-out farm party will spring
into being
Fight Has Just Started
The delegates placed responsibility
for the failure of the McNary-
Haugen bill on "the party in pow
err
Donaghey predicted that "the
fight has just started
"This movement will go on" he
said. eff it again meets rebuff at
the White House I believe the tenn
ter of the farm element will demand
the creation of a separate party to
obtain protection for agricultural
commensurate with that now en-
joyed by industry.
1--WE ask nothing more than has
already been written into the plat
forms of both parties. We demand
nothing more than a redemption of
the party pledges.
"But if Congress, if the President,
if both parties turn us down, I ex-
pect to see a farm party, perhaps
only as a one-issue party, chal-
longing further industrialization of
the nation at the expense of
agriculture"
Farmers Gear Nobody"
Donaghey made it plain that Agri-
culture fears nobody in it's de-
mands."
IF they want to debate with us
the merits of our need, we're ready"
he said. 1--WE will gladly furnish
speakers, anywhere. any time"
Donaghey also intimated that the
st. Louis gathering is merely the
forerunner of a concerted attempt
to organize farmers of the "agri-
cultural belt" 1t is expected that
more meetings will be held.

Could Not Investigate
The boat could not be held in order
to investigate the matter, and the little
Anderson boy had one more lesson in
how lightly regard for human life
weighed on the frontier.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Anderson
was not in attendance at the pioneer
meeting held last year at Fort Benton.
Going to the mouth of the Marias, he
could have pointed out the spot where
the victims of the massacre were inferred.
Here, a monument of some description
should be erected in memory of the 10

The killing Of these men could not
have taken place far from where another
tragedy was destined later to be enacted
that of the murder Of Mrs. Anderson
which I have earlier narrated. That
lower portion of the Marias, and in fact
all northern Montana. might well be

for them. When the trench had been
dug to receive them they were laid within
wrapped in blankets. Three OF them
had their heads cut off and six were
scalped, and probably the scalps were
also taken from those who were decapi-
/ tated There were nine white men and
i one negro. All but the negro were
stripped, the Indians taking every stitch
OF their clothing. For some unexplained
reason the Indians did not care for either
the scalp or the clothing Of the black
man.
| A letter now in Mr.. Anderson's pos
session, dated Sept. 16, 1872, refers to
this tragedy:
I'VE had Frenchman working for US
this summer that helped kill Calf Shirt,
chief OF the band Of Indians that killed
part of your party on the Marias river
The Indians said they did not go to the
camp wit hthe calculation of killing any
one, but the darky fired on them as
they were coming up to the camp and
then the chief told his men to kill the
whole outfit
'There were five in the camp and the
other five were chopping in the timber,
and when they heard the firing they
came to assist those that were in camp.
The Indians hid and as they came up
Shot them down like buffalo, ana the
Indians never lost man.
"'They were Blood Indians. Some OF
the same band the next fall shot this
Frenchman twice and failed to kill him.
They got all the horses he had, ten IN
number, and his blankets and what pro-
visions he had.
Il was telling him that you had an
idea it was some one at Benton that put
those Indians up to kill those men. He
says there was nothing Of that kind. He
says there were lots Of traders killed
by the same band, and they were all
afraid OF them
ExOnerate Fort Benton Men
If the Frenchman told the truth his
statement fully exonerates the suspected
Fort Benton parties. While rivalry IN
trade is relentless, holding that any
means can be considered fair which
Brings the desired results, one is inclined
to accept the Frenchman's version OF
what happened, although never heard
ct many traders being killed by Blood In
d1ans near Fort Benton Perhaps some
9 fthOse persons now living, who were in
that business during the '6Os and 70s,
can enlighten us further on this subject. |
After giving the foregoing details, MI.
Anderson asked me:
Did you ever see any one who had
been scalped?"
NO. I replied.
Well, it's q horrid sight There they
brought those men to town, loaded in 9
wagon, and all stripped and scalped but
the negro. Their heads were covered |
with blood, and their bodies filled with I
arrows sticking out in every direction.

DAVID HILGER
is REELECTED
LIBRARIAN OF STATE HISTORICAL
SOCIETY WANTS NEW QUARTERS
FOR PIONEERS TREASURES
Begins Campaign to Obtain Action by
Next Legislature Which win Give Adj
ditionaI Space in Which to House and
display Mementoes Of Old Timers

David Hflger, librarian Of the state
historical library since Sept. 1, 1928,
was reelected to serve a third tW0-year
term at q recent meeting Of the board,
and has begun q campaign which he
hopes to bring to q successful conclusion
at the next legislature-an apprOpria-
tiOn for a separate building for the
library.
Present quarters do not provide suffici-
ent room for the historical collections, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hilger. There are 76
framed pictures, donated by pioneers, In
the basement, inaccessible to the public
he says. There are 100 oil paintings Of
famous politicians and pioneers donated
to the library valued at $4,000. Present
quarters are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
According to Mr.. Hilger. the historical
library was organized as corporation in
1855 at the first territorial Legislative
session at Bannack. 1t was taken over by
the state "a years ago.
The members OF the board are Mrs. Sol
Hepner OF Helena, president; w. A.
Hedges Of Lewistown, vice president; Mr..
Hilger, secretary, and Martin Hutchins,
formerly Of Missoula and now Of New
York. The vacancy caused by the death
of Colonel James T. Stanton of Great
Falls year ago, will be filled by a gov
ernor's appointment in January, it is
expected
Mr.. Hedges is brother Of the late Cor
nelils (Toby) Hedges Of Helena. He
was five times member Of the legislat-
ure and was speaker OF the house the
ninth session.
