has been approached on this subject
of election to the U. S. Senate
and that he has refused stating that
his life is dedicated to the law He
has no ambitions for political life but
would like to round out a long period
of distinguished service to the state
in the capacity of judge by leaving
his impress of his times as a great
jurist whose legal decisions would re-

the United States.

Advices from Washington would
seem to indicate that Judge Bourquin
would be sure of the appointment to
the important position named. This
has caused lot of speculation in

after in the big cities of the east. Mr..
Taylor has leased the state land along
the Sturgeon river which is very
valuable. These holdings are located
on the bottle neck of the stream thru

kings of Minnesota have to float their
logs to their extensive mills. 1t is
known that this big company have
been negotiating with the Montana
man for an easement over the river

Johnson and Davis Not Candidates
Because of the fact that Magnus
johnson and Tom Davis are not ex
pected to be candidates in Minnesota
this year there is much speculation
as to whom the Farmer-L aborites
should nominate to make the race
with Hendrick Shipstead 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that Shipstead will Sc
cure nomination and election for Unit
ed States Senator on the Farmer-L "a
Dor ticket, and is likely to carry in the
gubernatorial candidate with him he
cause of the divided republican senti-
ment back of Christianson. TavIor is
looked upon as the logical teammate
Tor Shlpstead by reason of the fact
mat ne was chairman of the Farmer
Labor convention in st. Paul in 1924;
IS an outstanding farmer-labor leader
IN Montana, and has large progress
slve connections in his native State.
So far Sen. Taylor has refused to run
stating that Montana is his adopted
state, that he likes the people out
there and was going to stay with them
until they were successful in their
light for public ownership.

montana has been starved as lar as

concerned and there is much senti-
ment in the eastern section in favor
OF resident being appointed.
g. Amongst the lawyers talked about
Tor this post none is more frequently
mentioned than that of Attorney
Howard M. Lewis of Plentywood. Mr..
Lewis is known to the members of
the bar association of the state as a
lawyer of high attainments; of ju-
dlclal turn of mind, fine sense of
h.umor and a regard for the proprie-
ties of any situation in which he finds
himself.
Wen Received in Washington
When he attended the sessions of
!he American Law Institute in Wash
llnTgton he made a good impression in
the national capital. This, coupled
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1928-02-03

with the fact that he is a graduate of
Leland Stanford University and a
member of the same alumni as Sec
rotary of the Interior Hoover and Sec
rotary of War Wilbur, has an import
ant bearing on his chances of appoint
ment. Mr.. Lewis is an active lawyer
and is earning more in the practice
of his profession than he would as a
United States Judge and shows no
inclination to campaign for the posi-
ton, but the pressure of the members
of the bar among whom he is so fav-
Orably known in the state and the po-
litical eXigencies of the situation may
mean that he will consent to allow
his name to be submitted to President
Coolidge for consideration.
This situation, while not generally
known in the state, will henceforth be
the topic of conversation wherever
two or more lawyers or politicians
gather.

FIGHT FOR
 SUBMARINES
Oklahoma Representative Makes Announcement
 Tn National House

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-No- tice has been served by Repre- sentative James V. McClintic, Democrat of Oklahoma. that he proposes to fight in the House for more submarines. He said the Navy should have more submar- ines rather than additional cruis- CTS, as recommended by the House Naval Committee.
 Representative McClintic fought vigorously against elimination by the committee of submarines from the new ship construction pro gram. He said if war is declared it would be necessary to com mandeer every ship building plant in the United States to provide for construction of suffi- cient submarines to protect Am erican commerce as there are only three submarines of the lat est type launched and three are under construction.
