POLITICS MAKES STRANGE
BEDFELLOWS

Mr.. h. E. G. Bryant, of Washington d. c. who
is Special Correspondent of Great Falls Tri-
bune,' comes to the defense of Senator Wheeler in
the Sunday edition of The Tribune by CHASING p
}. Wallace, and the papers for which he is writing
as bedfelOws of Blair Coan and Harry Daugher-
ty, says the Great Falls Labor Topics.
'Whenthe leopard changes his spots and the
Ethiopian his skin, the Great Falls Tribune will
prove faithless to the Anaconda Copper Company.
1t is not the copper press of Montana that has
changed, it is Senator Wheeler who has made peace
with these enemies of the common veal. The OK
knoweth his owner and the ass his masters crib
and the Great Falls Tribune and Senator Wheeler
not exceptions. The people of Montana can
not be blinded with dead issue, raised by a for
eign correspondent who has only the interests of
his masters in Montana to serve Harry Daugh-
erty is not interested in the attempted steal of the
Flathead power site by the Montana Power Com
pany. The lackeys of that unscrupulous corpora
hon hope to divert the attention of the public from
the steal contemplated by raising the smoke screen
of Harry Daugherty.' p. j. Wallace in this issue
of Labor Topics, has exposed an attempt to steal
one of the few great power sites in the Treasure
State not yet swallowed by Montana Power Mr..
Wallace affirms that either of the senators from
Montana stop the steal. He pictures the
Junior Senator a companion of Frank NJ Kerr
(the name is Significantly Vice President of the
Montana Power Company. Does the Tribune or
It's paid correspondents attempt to refute the facts
marshaled by Mr.. Wallace? They do not but
seek to divert the attention of the public from
this steal by classing those who oppose it as
friends of Harry Daugherty and Blair Coan. Poll
tics makes strang bedfellows,' writes The Tribune
correspondent Such being the case let us see
whose virtuous (?) bedchamber receives the Junior
senator from Montana. VIII A. Campbell of Hell

Wheeler as a centerpiece around which this clus-
ter of copper vines entwine makes a strange COM

TONED, Benedict Arnold was a patriot and Judas
was a friend of Jesus The Tribune carries an
editorial in the issue of December 10Th and it would
make civilized horse laugh to see this mouth
piece of the copper interests defend red in the
person of Senator Wheeler. In the name of all the
gods at once has the Anaconda Copper Company
turned boshevik? In defense of Mr. Bryant the
Tribune assures US he is also member of the
New York World staff Organized labor will re-
members The New York World as having fired
Hayward Broun because he did not believe that
Sacco and Vanzetti should be murdered bv the
textile barons of Massachusetts. To Join forces
with one who holds position on the New York
World is bad enough but when one argues such
connection as proof of the high character of a
staff writer it is surely intended as an insult to
the intelligence of the forces of organized labor
In the meantime what about the proposed steal of
the Flathead power site as exposed by Mr.. Wal
lace? Will The Tribune oppose this steal, or will
it continue to throw smoke screen while the
Montana Power uses both senators from this state
to cOnsummate the deal. The reds CD of Mon
tana cannot be rocked to sleep in a copper cradle
just because the Great Falls Tribune has tied a
pink ribbon the nightshirt of Senator B. K
Wheeler, and instructed him to sing the lullaby
