that between 1900 and 1000 farmers
will attend the doings of the day :.
A number of machinery companies
have sent in their notice that they
will have a factory representative
there to demonstrate tractors, COM
bines, etc.
The program will start at 1000
o'clock a. M, and will be under the

Wheeler Would Remain in Senate
AS World Statesman and Not as
Messenger Boy for Montana Folk

Senator Wheeler featured his
reception here by an announcement,
Tuesday evening, at the Elks Hall
meeting, that he is going to be a
live corpse when the next period
nominations for the Senate arrives,
and by depicting the progress in
the Philippines under u. S. control
and the degradation of China after
centuries, of stand-still ethics as a
lesson from which the United
States can draw a moral not un-
connected with the peril of graft
and indifferent citizenship. The
announcement that he isn't dead
that was Wayne B. Wheeler, he
said-apparently was in the nature
of a notice to ]. Bruce Kremer who
is credited with aspirations upon
the seat of. MOntana's junior repre-
sentative in the upper chamber of
Congress, that he will not yield the
honor without a fight to the bitter
end. It was the old stormy petrol
Wheeler who uttered the warning
that If any of those who have got
him mixed up with Wayne b.
Wheeler toss their hats into the
ring, they will LEARN THEIR
MISTAKE-that there will be a
sort of life and death political
fight, so to say for the tOga of Sen
atOrship. W

There were about 200 persons IN
the Elks Hall when the meeting
was called to order about $3.50. l..
F. SchermerhOrn took charge and
introduced Mrs. Wheeler VINO said a
few graceful words of acknowledge
ment for the reception given her and
the Senator here. After that the
Senator was introduced and began
his talk which was of a nOn-parti-
san character and devoted to a re-
cital of conditions in the Orient as
he and his family saw them during
their tour of the Philippines, China,
and Japan, last summer"

were such as to meet with the
general approval of big business.
The Democrats in naming AL Smith
and Senator ]. 7. Robinson have an
edge over the Republicans in candi-
dates. Neither Smith nor Robinson
has been as thoroughly subservient to
big business as Hoover and Curtiss
have been. The platform of the Dem
ocrats also makes little stronger
gesture toward farm relief than does
that of the Republicans which openly
repudiates relief for the tillers of the
soil according to the McNary-Haugen
scheme.
Norris WallOps G. o. P. and Dems.
Senator Geo. w. Norris of Nebras-
ka, the outstanding progressive in
congress, takes a smash at both par
ties and their platforms and charges
them with being subservient to the

state politics and politicians by the
giant company. When some of the
Clark heirs succumbed to the bland
ishments of those who would hold the
throat of Montana in the grip of cor
porate control, the news, was relayed
to the sixth floor and the slick mes
sengers were dispatched throughout
the state to say that the "Clarks had
laid down." "were afraid to have the
bones of their dead father dragged
through the press of the state" or
that "Will Clark was too stingy to,
let go of any election dough" and
other such phrases designed to intimi-

since Con and John took up their res
idence in New York the efficiency Of
the company "crowd" is being sadly
impaired. Many of the wise men who
went out and rounded the mavericks
in the back woods in the past have
become effete and useless. The dead
ly dullness of the mechanicalized ad-
ministration at Helena and the too
frequent use of synthetic Scotch,
which is a necessary adjunct to the
continuance of the reign of "peace
and harmony" has sapped the vigor
and dulled the fighting edge of the
political diplomats of the Anaconda.
This coupled with the fact that many
former supporters of the company are
in state of smouldering rebellion at
the niggardly policy and the arrogant
demeanor of the Hobbins olfgarchy

For the past six months the gener-

knowing that an attack by the two
independent Clark dailies, would
break the spell of their control of the
state, have been automatically fight
ing for peace with the Clarks who
reside in New York. At first society
folks, who make their living by clip

tries, started to "work" on the heirs
of the late w. A. Clark in the inter

They pointed out that the dividends
which were now coming in from the
Clark copper properties in Montana
would be menaced if a political war
started between the two great copper
companies. The proletariet might
