out on Willoughby Avenue, 69 votes had been cast at 3 D. m. as compared to 36 two years ago.
 As had been predicted there was but little interest being dis played Tn the Democratic election as there were no contests on the ticket. Few voters were calling for Democratic tickets.
 Watchers at the polls believed there was much splitting of the Republican ticket as many voters were engaged in more than nor maj length of time in marking their ballots.
 The polls will remain open un- til ' D. m. Owing to the number of candidates on the Republican ticket, it is probable that the final returns will be somewhat de- layed in coming out.
 Light Vote ketchikan
 Advices received at noon by The Empire from Ketchikan said in terest there was not keen. and a light vote was predicted. This was surprising in view of the re- ported factional fight in that city which had been expected to bring out a record primary election vote.

REDL|NCSHAFER GIVES TALK TO
 SCHOOL PUPILS
Addresses Parochial School on Value of Forests in
 Life of Nation

Speaking under the auspices of the American Legion, H. l.. Red lingshafer today addressed the up. per grades in the Parochial school continuing the observance of American Forest Week which started here yesterday. He em phasized that American Forest Week is to bring before the younger generation an apprecia- tion of the time required to grow forest and that forests are ab- solutely necessary for the contin- uance of a nation.
 It is the youth Nf today whose interests are most vitally affected as it will be the people most to suffer if the forests are wantonly destroyed, he declared.
 History Traced
 MT. Redlingshafer traced the history of the forests following the ice-age as seen before the face of Mendenhall Glacier-the succession of such classes as ground cover, grasses, mosses, weeds, shrubs, alders, willows and finally evergreen forests which in turn crowd out the grass and brush. At the time of America's discovery, he said, there were vast forests full of game animals and birds, rivers filled with trout and plains covered with buffalo. He cited the destruction of forests and wild life that occurred in the settlement and development of the country.
 He said national forests were established as large farms or ranches on which people were to be shown how to raise forests, and to insure the remaining large timber stands would not be de- stroyed as it had been in the eastern states.
 Benefits Are Given
 The benefits of the forest cover in Alaska, particularly in the in terior, as safeguard against floods, save game. for use by the farmers, prospectors and miners in the development of the coun- try, the pulp wood possibilities in Southeastern Alaska, were cited. He praised the plan of the Forest Service in selling only what can be replaced by annual growth so as to put the forest products in

Frances outstanding titled suf. fragist, the so year old Duchess d'uzes, thinks that her country. women will soon have the vote with which they can regain the political rights they once exer. cised.
 If the ballot Is accorded French women, the duchess points out they will only be returning to an. cient rights which Napoleon took from them. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries women held office in France, were appointed judges of law and were eligible to municipal assemblies. The French Revolution was as much a fight for the rights of women as those of men, according to the Duchess d'Uzes.
 Unfortunately, she adds, they forgot to allow women to exercise their rights"

 The extreme destruction of for ests by fire, when it occurs in Alaska, he declared, is almost parallel to that caused by the ice- age, and the same process of re- forestation has to be gone through in the former as in the latter case.

senate or the governors chair
And it also goes without saying that the copper IN
terests don't want him to for anything-and least
of all for governor!
Last month"; however, he appeared in Butte as the
orator of the day big Washingtons Birthday cele-
braton-and was greeted by enormous and enthusi-
astic crowd He then went to Helena for day Where
all the Republican wheehorses from far and near gath
cred and talked things But still Joe said moth
ing at all about his intentions
The betting however, is that before very long ne
will announce himself-and probably for governor.
This suspense is terrible for all the other Republican
candidates If Joe declares himself there will be no
opposton as none to enter the lists against SO
redoubtable an opponent But there are flock OF ten
tatve candidates among the Republicans both for sena
tor and for the day Joe makes his deci-
sion known the air VIII be tull OF mats cast INTO the
rng-for the other job!
THE GENERAL OPINION IS THAT DIXON CAN
HAVE THE SENATORSHIP FOR THE ASKING.
WHEELER HAS ABOUT RUN HIS COURSE AND is
DUE FOR A LICKING. IN FACT ANY ABLE RE-
PUBLICAN WILL TAKE THE TOGA AWAY FROM
WHEELER IF INDEED HE ISN'T BEATEN IN THE
PRIMARIES
1t is generally thought, however, that Dixon would
much rather win the governors chair again and indica
lions are that that would not be difficult for him to
do Governor Erickson is vulnerable, very vulnerable
indeed He made the fatal before the last cleo

The facts that at present Montanas Indebtedness

In spite of the terrific power of the metal interests

DEMOCRACY'S DARK HOUR
From pioneer Press" Cutbank

Never did the Montana democracy face more grim
winter of discomfort and starkness of spirit than in this
year of grace.
Facing the troubled prospect of fight between the
forces of AL Smith and Senator T. J. Walsh the lead
are looking out of blue goggles upon world bereft
of joy and peace. The horizons rim all round about
is obscured by the sable smoke of war;
Most of the outstanding leaders for Smith. De-
bonair dlettante Bruce Kremer, national committee
man, leader of the McAdoo forces in 1924 is most con-
spicuous among the Smith leaders. The larger cities
of the state where abide the bulk of the democratic
rank and file, stout for Al and detested McAdoo-
ism with its khan and dry Implications This McAdoo
outfit backs Walsh to cancel Smith they believe.
The bitter breach between the Walsh and Smith
groups is hard enough for the chiefs to contemplate
but the utter collapse of the regime of John E. Eric
son in many ways presents more melancholy problem
Some of those in the inner counses say that the heart
breaking aspect of the situation is that John is not
cognzant of the debace and has given no heed to
the buntest hints that he take his well earned
rest in the lovely vale Of the Flathead. The state
situation has simply baffed the best democratic minds
and their pathetic predcament is actually elictng the
sympathy of the less hardened republicans of the

PEET MAY GET FOOLED

In his "What Say column in the Smyth County
News of Virginia, Sherwood Anderson recently quot
ed editorial written by Herbert Peet in the Great
Falls Tribune The article commends Sherwood f"~
mixing with all the Rotarians, Uplifters and Hill
Billys in the hick town of the Old Dominion state.
Chances are that Brother Anderson is also mixing
with the vendors of liquor in Marion and is as
good customer Of theirs is H. L. Menckin of the
beer gardens of the ancient city of Baltimore
But Mr.. Peet doesn't say anything about that. He
just commends Mr.. Anderson for assocating with
the best people of his home town. The editorial
fleets Mr. Peets frame of mind 1t shows how sitting
behind the editorial desk of controlled paper like the
Great Falls Tribune atrOphy good mans mental
outlook and cause him to look upon the commonplace
as sacred and desirable
For time there was when Mr. Peet was pro-
gressive: when he edited the Equity News and mixed
with the rest of in the cooperative congresses and
the big meetings of the days of the Nonpartisan
League Now he conforms to the ideas of the powers
that be and msuses his alert mind writing panagercs
such worthless montebanks as Wheeler and Flat
head john
Won't it be joke on Herbert when Sherwood An
derson puts the characters he is assocating with
and studying into book that will back "Babbitt" off
the shelves?

advocacy of "third" or nonpartisan policy of the
farmers organizations known as "The Farmers Union"
and "The Grange" and the labor organizations the
major American labor organization, "The American
Federation of Labor" points out the absolute failure
of such policy and the necessity for these organiza
lions, very strong, to take definite constructive
stand and declare for political action by the farmers
and workers by and thru the medium of the Farmer
Labor party This circular is interesting by reason of
the fact that it from professional in the

necessity of independent political action by Of

What Other Editors Say
TWO SENATORS FROM MONTANA
Clipped From Our Exchanges
From The limited Farmer, Bismarck, N. D.

From The United Farmer, Bismarck, n. D.
For long time it appeared as if both Senators
Wheeler and Walsh of Montana were fighting on the
side of the people and against the Power Trust of their
state, but then all of sudden they were unmasked by
the ever watchful farmers government of Sheridan
county, Montana
These two senator's especially Wheeler, are posing as
progressves trying by every trick known to politicians
hide their black records They apparently fight
ing the Power Trust openly but in secret actually aiding
and furthering its interests.
An article on the front page of The United Farmer
points out how both Walsh and Wheeler operating
to help the capitalists who robbng the farmers and
workers, betrayng in the most shameful manner the
trust and confidence imposed in them by the producing
masses of the state of Montana
The capitalist newspapers have for months been tell
ing about the oil graft which is supposedly being tex
posed" by the progressive senator, Mr. Walsh, when
a matter of fact he is merely tool fighting for the
Rockefeller interests
The people of Montana, the masses of farmers and
workers of the state should speak uncertain lang
guage this great piece of treachery and get the
ground good and ready for launching energetic
Farmer-Labor campaign for u S. Senator. There is
Ienty of material here for Famer-Labor senatorial
candidate to talk about while confronting the corrupt
Wheeler-the tool of the Power Trust, the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company and the Rockefeller interests

CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOsT
From The Butte Independent.

When Senators Walsh and Wheeler have enjoyed
their holidays in foreign parts-the former in
Geneva and the latter in China-and have returned to
this poor benghted State of Montana to look the
natives they incidentally paid much needed atten-
ton to their political fences. Thes fences are in
wretchedy bad shape and it would seem to us that it
will require more than the combined political acumen
of senatorial brace to effectively repair before the
next election the tremendous damage which these fences
have sustained in recent years. There no enthusiasm
manifest in any locality of Montana for either of the
gentlemen but the chill blasts of adverse criticism
not unlikely to the proportions of tornado be-
tween and election The storm of disapprov-
al against these men has long been gathering force and
intensity and is destined soon to break.
