Vocational Conference

Raymond Erickson, Arnold Mitch
ell and Gibson Zeidler will leave Sat
urday morning for Bozeman to repre-
sent the Plentywood High School at
the annual Vocational Congress for
boys. The right to represent the
school is based upon the scholarship
record for four years in high school
and it is due to the fact that these
three boys have the highest average
that they are permitted to attend this;
conference. Practically every school
in Montana will be represented at this
conference. The railroad fare to and
from the conference is paid by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific

twenty-five speakers c from al. All sec, sec,

County May Extend Financial
Aid to All Poor, Decision

Helena, AIN. Pointing out that
the statutes give county commission
ers power to erect and maintain coun-
ty hospitals and to "otherwise pro-
vide" for dependent poor of the coun-
ty, the supreme court Saturday af-
tlrmed the district court for Lewis &
Clark County in rejecting the claim of
a taxpayer that any financial aid ex-
tended to county poor must be limited
to those individuals living within the
poor farm. The action was a test
case affecting all counties and was of
particular concern to several.
The court explains that it also has
taken into consideration the fact that
the system of aiding persons outside
the county institution has been in eff
feet in everv county in Montana fol
many years, and that the county saves
at least 500 of its poor expense by
pursuing this method.

the country by storm and schools are
being formed for the purpose of teach
ing the younger generation the rudi-
ments of the square dance in the large

LEAP YEAR DANCE
SAT-, FEBRUARY 4TH

Another Leap Year dance is being
held at the Farmer-Labor Temple
February 4th. This dance will be a
program affair, which is desired by
many because of dating up without
SO many calls. AS 1928 is leap
Year, it is fitting that all the
girls should be out in full strength to
capture the males and bring them to
this festive occasion. The last Leap
Year dance proves that the women are
adept at this art, which was supposed
to be one of the fine arts of men only.

CHICAGO, April 18. Jack Me-

today after nairaculously escaping
death from machine gun bullets.
McGurn,s buliet-ffddIed sedan was

McGurn had been ssassinated and
his body spirited away BY his gang
ster enemies. The door near the
drivers seat was literally shot away.
Police today learned McGurn was
In hiding with friends. 1t was not
the authorities he feared, but the
vengeance OF his enemies, police said.
Last nights attempt was the second
on his life within three months.
After the first attack. In which he
was wounded, McGurn said:
'.I'lI take care Of them when / get
we'll"
With that in mind, police were
girding today for resumption of the
deadly street fighting that has
marked gangster feuds here in the
past.
Heavily armed squads were dis
patched to round up all known gang

SMITH HAS 326
OUT OF 446
DELEGATES

The commanding lead which Gov.
Al Smith is pfling up in his march
toward the Democratic nomination
at Houston was exemplified today
by the compilation Of a table show
ing that of the 446 delegates thus
far selected he has at least 326.
If he can maintain this dizzy
ratio in the primary and ccnven.
tion.filled weeks ahead, his nomina-
ton at Houston Is assured. His OPP
ponents, particularly those from the
anti-Smith Southern States. grir1ly
contend that he cannot keep UP this
pace, but irrespective OF claims and
counter.clainns the fact remains that
as OF today Smith has captured APP
proxirnateIy tl1ree-fourths of the
delegates chosen instead OF the re-
quired two-thirds.

While there is some dispute be-
tween the Smith and Reed forces
over the exact lineup In several
states, notably in Oklahoma and
Arkansas, information reaching. the
various political quarters in Wash
ington Is such that the following
table is believed substantially ac'
curate for the States that have
thus far acted:

Three States, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
ant Massachusetts will choose 100
additional delegates next Tuesday,
and the Smith total will be in
creased prOpOrtionately, for the or.
ganiZatiOns i'm Pennsylvania ana
Massachusetts are favorable to the
New York governor.
Smiths total Of 326 delegates to
date is only IS delegates less than
his peak strength on the 10th ballot
at Madison Square Garden. This Is
considered a remarkable showing IN
view of the fact that only little
more than a third Of the delegates
have been chosen.
Little Opposition
Thus far the New York governor
has encountered but little opposition
from other candidates in his march
through primaries and State con-
ventions. Reed has given him
some, but nothing of a strenuous
nature.
The California primary two weeks
hence may tell a different story,
however. There, Senator Thomas j..
Walsh. OF Montana, is entered and
the contest is expected to provide
a showdown fight between the
vets and drys.
Walsh is as dry as Smith is wet,
and California is considered by the
party leaders in Washington as an
interesting field on which to stage
the combat. CALIFORNIA; 26 dele
gates constitute the prize.
