The producers news., 1927-02-25

tinues It is charged that he gave
too much printing to papers in some
counties. In Valley county every pa
per got one piece of printing at the
same time. When this was revealed
in the report Ruffcon got one OF
his dirty dog spells and told an as
tonished Senate that he got elected
in spite of the united opposition OF
all the press of the county. This
will be a hard blow to the Glasgow
Times that even misrepresented facts
in an effort to elect Mr.. Ruffcorn and
Joe Hooking of the Glasgow Courier
News who wrote an editorial object
ing to the exposure of the record of |
tn Honorable Bill on the Bank Guar
antee Law It is further pointed out
that none of the papers of valley
county opposed Ruffcorn at the last
election and he must be trying to put
something else over on the Senate IN
telling them such a lot of vapid trash. |
What Became of the $4,000
What disposition Secretary of
State Charles T. Stewart made of
$4,000 expended in the administra-
! ton of the motor vehicle registration
department from July /, 1926 to De
cember of that year, when the work
was transferred to the warden of the
state prison at Deer Lodge, will be
investigated by the special house
committee appointed to probe the of
ficial acts of Secretary Stewart. The
committee has been informed, Chair
man Moss said Tuesday, that after
Stewart had spent $4,000, A. B.
Middleton, the prison warden, had on
ly $4,000 left for the remainder of
the fiscal year and had to provide
for a $4,000 expenditure for the pur-
chase of automobile license plates.
Another instance where an enrolled
bill of the 1925 assembly does not
include an amendment which the
journal shows was adopted, was dis
covered Tuesday by the committee.
