against the company controlled Err
ickson administration. Most of these
friends also voted for Wheeler be-
cause they figured that the present
senator, with his record of treachery
to the progressive movement of the
state and his subservience to the mas
te1s of copper and power, would be
an easy candidate to beat in the fl
nails. Wheeler and Erickson are now
out in their true colors as messenger
boys for the company. They will be
backed by all the company papers in
the state and a flood of gold will be
spent In an endeavor to elect them.
Angstman and Ford Win
Other progressive candidates who
won the nomination, as predicted in
the Producers News, were Assistant
Attorney General Angstman and S.
c. Ford. They will, in all probability,
sit on the supreme court alter the
next general election. Maury of
Butte was nominated Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Maury, who was once
Socialist city attorney of Butte, is
well known to the readers of the
Producers News. Judge Bourquin won
striking victory for the Attorney
Generalship. The company and the
broken down Wheeler machine used
every effort to defeat the courageous
Butte Judge who was the first man
IN Montana to put the President of
the Anaconda Company on the wit
ness stand to show the extent of his
tax lodging. Ever stoolpigeon of
the Company in the state and every
followed of Wheeler opposed Judge
Bourquin, but in vain. He is an in
dependent democrat, supporting All
smith, but is not tied up in any wav
with the A. c. M. Wheeler Erickson
combine. O-N''O-'

Ford and Elizabeth Ireland won bio
Judge Paul won a signal victory over
Geo. Cudhie He also won EanieIs
and Roosevelt counties according to
late reports. He is nominated big
despite the opposition of the Wolf
Foint Herald and the Daniels County
Leader. Judge Paul was Endorsed nv
the Progressive Farmers. He will
again lead the county on November
9th. There will be a convention of
the Farmer Labor party to select q
county ticket in Sheridan county at
an early date. It is said that most
OF the Farmer-Laborites who were in
duced to file on the Democratic tic-
ket IN Daniels county have already
repudlated that ticket and are nnt
hing their expense accounts thereby
automatically getting out of the he.
