CARL JACKSON Of Wyoming has
been appointed to fill the office Of
Prohibition Administrator for the
States Of Montana, Idaho and Wy
oming, recently rendered vacant by
the removal of Col. Marsters. People
in this part of Montana are famil-
lar with the activities here of Mar
sters and his subOrdinates and how,
after the matter was explained to l..
c. Andrews, that official dispensed
with his services. Welliver. who was
in PlentywOOd with Brown. was
candidate for the vacant post but
his exploits here did not help him
with Andrews. Van Vert was also
a candidate but Vans record as
Chief State Law Enforcement Offic-
er was such that Mr.. Andrews con-
cluded this state would not be the
lOOser if Mr.. Vert retired to his
cattle ranch at Simms for a little
rest. It is also stated that Mr.. One
Horse Power Shelley was candi-
date for the office but he did not
have enough HIP to get it. Lincoln
{. Andrews is one of the few level
headed officials under Coolidge and
We think he exercised his usual good
Judgment in the selection of Mr..
Jackson. We wish the new admins
traitor success and pledge him the
cooperation of the Producers News
in a sensible enforcement of the
18th Amendment.

All this despite the fact that tn
