as we'll, and he has been success
full.
We find that Governor Smith
has dealt successfully with prob
lens of the state of New York. He
has been popular with the people
of his state. He has many times
brought legislative measures in
the interests of the people of New
York state through a legislative
assembly by a substantial major
ity of members of the opposite
political faith.
In deciding for whom we Is
farmers, should vote we may this
year, disregard questions of reli-
gious faith. We may even dis
count the issue OF prohibition.
And we can confine attention
to the abilities of Secretary Hoov-
er and Governor Smith to deal
with our problem of how to estab-
lish and maintain the economic
equality of the farmer with the
miner, the manufacturer, and the
merchant.
If we conclude. upon reviewing
and analyzing the records of these
TWO men that Secretary H%oover's
past record in dealing with other
great and intricate problems of
national and international impor-
lance justifies the belief that he
will deal with the farm problem

and efficiency, we will vote for
him. If we decide that Governor
Smiths provincial experience and
popularity in the Assembly and
State House of the State of New
York eminently qualities him to
deal with the farm problem-our
problem-we will vote for him.
Let US make up our minds now
and stir UP the dust from now on
working for the election of our
choice. and let us work from now
on for a 100 per cent vote of the
electorate at this coming election.

With millions listening in on

we protect our property? We
agree with the logic of that. But
the tax payers foot the bill, and
the bill is considerably more than
it need be, than it would be if
people from childhood up were
taught respect for law, taught to
see in it a protection rather than
something to be eyaded whenever
desired. Contempt for law breeds
.lawlessness, and the burden falls
alike on the shoulders of the
scofflaws and the law-abiding citi-
zens.

WHAT PRICE LAWLESSNESS?
Two men stole a car from the
streets of Wolf Point Sunday
night; they were arrested Monday
a hundred and fifty miles away,
and brought back Tuesday; We'd
nesday they were a~rraigned,
pleaded guilty and were sentenced
to serve a term in the p%eniten-
tiary at hard labor. There was
no delay, apprehension of the
criminals was much nor quick
than is frequently the ase The
young men had no attorney. The
law gives them the right to legal
counsel at the county's expense. 1t
has cost the county about two
hundred dollars to send those
young men to Deer Lodge. Had
they chosen to plead not guilty it
would have cost much more, and
they would probably have gotten
a SITTER sentence. The young
men will have to spend from n to
two years at hard labor to pay
the penalty of their attempt to
get away with it,"
Another young man who stole a
car in Nebraska was arrested here
this week. He will have to be
taken back to that state to stand
trial. 1t will cost Nebraska more
to punish him than it did Roose-

HOOVER OR SMITH?

A man who believed himself tc
be the fee owner of a valuable
farm unexpectedly was made de
PENDANT in a suit in equity alleging
the existence of a defect in the
title prior to his purchase of the
farm which, if proved was suffi-
cient to ~dispossess him thus
threatening to cause him the loss
of his life's savings. A momen-
tous problem to have at stake.
The employment of the best legal
talent available was essential;
and, finally by a process of elm
nation, he found he would have to
choose between two eminent law
yers. Which should he employ?
He studied carefully the past rec
ords of the two attorneys. Meth
er had lost a case. Both were
respected for their honesty, initia-
tive, resourcefulness, and pains
taking care for the best interests
of their clients. The defendant
eliminated the question of religion,
and he could find nothing against
the moral character of either. But
he had to decide which to employ.
An analysis of fact and legal pre-
cedent that was almost uncanny;
and a long record of successful
achievement in working Il the
right solutions of the legal prob
lens of his numerous clients, not
only in his own state but else
where. The other, equally sue
cessful in winning cases, was
found to be most successful in
pleading cases before a jury. He
could sway juries in his clients
favor and win favorable verdicts;
but his practice did not extend
beyond the confines of his home
state. This was not to be a jury
case. Popular opinion could have
no effect upon the result so the
defendant decided tt employ the
lawyer who had proved, in many a
hard-fought battle on questions of
law and equity. his marked ability
as a scholar, analyst, and expon-
ent of law and judicial precedent.
His case was won and his home
and farm saved and his home and
farm saved.
We are approaching another ma
tional election. We, as voters,
have to choose between two men,
a Republican and a Democrat. Men
who by their own ability and eff
have forged their way to the
top as national leaders of the two
great political parties. Now one
of the outstanding issues of the
day, if not the most important
issue of the present year. and
campaign, is what shall be done
to improve the condition of the
farmer. Most of us are farmers.
Those of us who are not, are
largely dependent upon the pros
of the farmer. Therefore,
in choosing the Presidential can
didate for whom We shall cast
orr votes, we will. if we are wise.
and if we are thinking American
citizens, decide in favor of the
candidate best fitted, without re-
gard to any expert aid and advice
may be available. to work
out a proper and satisfactory solu-
ion of the farmers problem.

ScHNITZLER, COMMITTEEMAN

BY the election of Senator ]. W
Schnitzler of Froid to the position
of national committeeman left va.
cam by the death of DR.. o. M.
Lanstrum, Northeastern Montana
has been accorded recognition
which we have long felt we should
have.
Any state, in which the sources
of it's wealth are widely at var
lance, is bound to have grow up
within it fractional interests that
are often directly opposed to each
other. In some states it is the
numbering interests or the big
manufacturing interests that we
find arrayed against the %agricultur-
al interests. In Montana the OPP
posing factions are the mining in
terests and those of agriculture.
That eastern Montana should be
recognized at this time is signifi-
cant. That the choice should
have fallen upon Senator SchnitZ-
Ter is not accidental. Mr.. Schnitz-
Ter has made a marked success of
his farming operations by apply
ing to them business methods.
Experience has given him an in
sight into the problems of the
farmers; experience, too, has Civ
en- him an understanding of the
problems of the businessman. He
is a conservative, a man who t
charts his course carefully and is
not blown hither and yon by this
impulse and that. Montana may
feel we'll represented by Senator
Schnitzler.
That the selection came about
as it did is a matter of ~congratula-
ton. Two other a%spirants to the
office had been prominently men {
T. A. Marlowe and o. H. {
P. Shelley. Both had had prev
ious experience as national com t
mitteemen, both had a large fol t
of friends, and it was to be {
expected that the matter of choos- {
ing a national committeeman
would occasion a real contest.
That the selection was made
amicably and that both Mr.. Mar
lowe and Mr.. Shelley made talks
in favor of Mr.. Schnitzler are in
dications of the harmony that
pervaded the convention, and also
a tribute to the sagacity and diplo-
macy of those who sold the nomin-
ating committee on eastern Mon
tana's claim to recognition. Much
credit must go to T. H. Rucker of
Malta who made the nominating
speech and who m~arshalled the
evidence which showed in con +
crete form that ]. w. Schnitzler
