"DixOn Democrats" Desert Wheeler

The filing of Dixon seemed to fur |
Their weaken the candidature of Sen
ator Wheeler amongst members of his
own party. The belief prevails that
Mr.. Wheeler cannot win against Mr..
Dixon because of Dixon's hold on the
progressive vote. The support in labor
circles which Mr.. Wheeler retained
amongst the railroad men is now con-
coded to Dixon. The Democrats are
now looking for a man who might
hold the Senatorship against Dixon.
Judge BOurquin is very strong with
the progressive voters of the Demo-
cratic party and it is believed that
he would beat Wheeler in the pri-
marleS in the pOpulous centerS but
Judge Bourquin is a great admirer of
the statesman from Missoula and it is
thought that he would not oppose him.
Sam Stewart has been spoken of as
candidate but the best observers say
hat while Mr.. Stewart is very fine
man personally he would not make a
good candidate against Wheeler in the
primaries. He stands for the same
things. He is a McAdoo- Walsh dem
Ocrat same as the Junior Senator and
II elected to the senate he would talk
about affairs in Patagonia or Hong
kong lest he might offend John and
Con by interfering in the domain they
rule as Overlords.
Bruce Kramer Looms Large
The Hon.. J. Bruce Kramer, plumed
knoght of Montana democracy is much
spoken of these days he supported
Wheeler tour years ago ami control
uted much towards his election bv tie
fervor of MS eloquence. He returned
from the Jackson day di me~ a strong
supporter of Al Smith and recently
opposed the strange effort of the
democratic Central committee to in
fluence the convention delegates in ia
vor of Senator TrJ. Walsh. Mr.. Kre-
mer has the support of the wet ele-
ment, which is the predominating fac
tor In the democratic party in the
state.
He became the pOssessor of a hand
some fortune when he married a few
years ago and since has felt that he
is as competent to guide the destinies
OF this state as some to the big men
IN swivel chairs on the sixth floor.
'WhO the He'll is HObbins?"
When Mr.. ]. Hobbins was elevated
to the high command of the Amazon.
da Company in the state there was q
big banquet of welcome at the Silver
Bow Club in Butte. AS the night fes-
tlvities wore on, high above the de-
donations of the corks emerging from
their places in the necks of champagne
bottles was heard the cultured voice
of southern gentleman Shouting,
who the hell is Hobbins ?" On in.
vestigation it was found that this sac.
relege, committed at The very foot Of
the copper throne, was perpetrated By
the Hon. j. Bruce Kremer who die
not seem to care who heard what he
said. This incident, although insignif
lcant, may have some bearing wher
the herders from the Big Tepee try t.
keep the Hon. Bruce in the corral.
