THE STRAW VOTE

The Literary Digest for October goth has tabula-
ton OF the straw vote for the whole country now rep
resented in the big poll.
Everyone of the forty-eight states contributed n
quota to the huge total of more than 25OOOoO votes
now gathered and tabulated in the Digess greatest
OF all unofficial polls With the present tabulation
the returns may be considered for the first time fairly
representative of the nation as a whole The division
OF the total vote is slightly more favorable to Gov
Smith than in the earlier tabulations The totals now
stand at 1,593,436 for Hoover to 91O234 for Smith
giving percentage of SO for the Republican to 81 for
the Democrats
The widespread breaking down of political fences
noted throughout the previous reports is even more
evident in the present tabulaton 1t is fact that
with fuller report from the Southern states there
is an increasing switch of Democrats to Hoover along
with an increase of supporters to Mr.. Smith from
former republicans
The tabulaton by states gives the Democratic can
ddate actual majority of votes only in the south
strongholds of Georgia, Louisiana Mississippi and
South Carolina. Arkansas and Alabama give the Re-
publican candidate shade the better of it. but
Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia, give
appreciable majOrities make up in the case of Florida
and Texas, of considerable more former Democrats
than Republicans

WHEELER GREETED

over to disturb the meeting by ask
ing Wheeler questions-that Taylor
and Salisbury were going to a meet
ing at Comertown, and would not ev-
en- be IN town.
The candidates called Wheeler and
advised him, and he agreed to come
and did come \as soon as his Scobey
meeting was finished. The Senator
arrived in Plentywood about eleven
o'clock.
The audience was entertained by
Frank Cooney and Secretary Mount
JOY and other speakers, but had wait
ed for some time to hear the Senat-
or. The crowd was mostly from the
country, only few of the town peo-
pie turned out-about $50 "eople
being out to hear Wheeler and Err
ickson.
Wheeler took the platform imme-
diately and delivered his speech of
four years ago when he was run
ming for Vice President on the indie
pendent Ticket with LaFollette. He
told about the republican corruption,
about the "little Green House on X
street" about his part in dispensing
the "OhiO gang" and how he had
voted for the farmers.
After or before going thru this
speech, he paid his compliments to
Editor Taylor and paddy" Wallace,
devoting most of his time to TRADE
about them. The audience grew tired
of his small town harangue and some
commenced to leave him.
Many of those who attended the
meeting remarked that Wheeler's
speech was a disappointment and
that it did the Senator a lot of dam
age, practically losing him what lit
tie support he did have-that the
speech was cheap and undignified and
unworthy of a United States Senator.
Gov. Erickson arrived in Plenty
wood Sunday morning in time to at
tend services at the Lutheran church,
after which he went to Froid where
he spoke in the evening to fair
sized audience.
Wheeler remained in Plentywood
Sunday, where he was shown around
by Oscar Collins. Sunday afternoon
ne went over to the Hass Brothers
ranch. Wheeler stayed in Plenty
wood Sunday night, leaving here
Monday morning. He made short
speeches at Antelope and Medicine
Lake, and spoke at Froid in the ev-
ening to fair-sized audience. He got
a good hand at Froid when he told
how brave he was when he had ap-
peared before Sheridan county au.
dience.
Gov. Erickson did not spend much
time with Wheeler at Plentywood. In
fact he seemed inclined to get away
from the Senator as soon as possible

MORE WHISPERING

1t seems that the Democrats of Montana are simon
pure devotees of the whispering campaign.
one nice thing about whispering campaign is that
the whsperer does not have to prove anyhng he ped
des that privately which he does not dare to declare
publcy-most times the yarn is Just a plain lie
There is lot of whispering being done over the
state about Wellington Rankin. One whisper tells one
sort Oh story to class of people, and another To
another class. "
This sort of campaigning is most contemplate It
is the sort of attack to which the victim can offer
no defense-he don't know where the snake is nor
what it is doing.
One OF the most vicious whispers now travelling ov
er the state on pretext other at state
is none other than Maggie Smith Hathaway under the
pretense of looking after unfortunate children she
1nds her way into most every nook and GRANNY in the
STATE and into every willing to spare her minnie
she pours forth her venOmous spew-Maggie is ener-
getc and treess and many an ear she poisons in tho
course OF a days work.
"hle IN PlentywoOd, Maggie Hathaway. plugging
Tor Gov Erickson, the abect tool of the Coppe Com
pany, told such stories as these about United States
District Attorney Wellington D. Rankin the Renubli
can candidate for Governor:
Rankin does not pay his personal bills.
This is cheap, malicious lie
Rankin is the most foul mouthed per-
son have met" etc.
Now this writer has known Wellington Rankin for
number of years. We don't recall that we ever
heard Rankin use profane word during our associa
tons with him.
Rankin as We know him does not drink We never
saw him take drink nor have we ever seen LIQUOR
about him. He does not use tobacco in anv form
he Is moderate eater and keeps himself in splendid
pnysical condition Morally he is very clean man
yes exceptionally so. Rankin is active and industrious
and one OF the best attorneys in the state
Nankln IS native born son of Montana. He is well
educated beng graduated from Harvard and won the

The yield per acre will vary in the

tons were laid down as to the con
ditions under which the average was

rate of yield higher than any claimed
this year could be shown in cases
where only the best parts of the
field were considered.

that In 1916 +hree acres of a field IN
Hill county that were measured off

is below the 1927 crop of 1854
bushels and the five year average
production of 6,625,OOO bushels. Re-
duced acreage this year is largely re-
sponsible for the smaller crop, while
yield per acre promises to be only
slightly below the five year average.
The bulk of the corn is fed out on the
farms producing it. The September
18th farm price of corn was SO cents
compared with 81 year ago.
Flax seed production in the state

of 2,438,O0O bushels and nearly double

Plans for the operation of Z large
wild game ranch on Trail creek In the
Musselshcll district OF the jefferson
national forest were recently inaugur-
ated by c. T.. DuRand. n prominent
rancher of Delpine.
Mr.. DuRand installed 100 elks, secured
from the bison range west of Missoula,
on his ranch last fall. He has them con-
fined in q 400-foot square corral and has
fed hay TO them during the winter
months. He is now fencing a section of
land in which he intends to keep the
herd the year around. feeding them hay
when it is necessary.
He has established the ranch to ex-
pertinent in the conservation of wild life
and is said to be backed by financial in
terests in the east. He will endeavor to
improve the type Of elk found in the
Montana forests and attempt to elm
mate the inbreeding which has existed
for such a long time.
The entire herd will be handled on a
domestic stock basis. New blood will be
introduced into the herd at intervals
some of which will be brought to Mon
tana from Canada.
Experimenting will not be confined to
elks alone. Mr.. DuRand has already made
plans to obtain three reindeer, three car
ibous, three bisons, three mountain
sheep and three mountain goats for his
game ranch. He will carry out his ex-
periments with these game animals in
the same as will be undertaken
with the elks. The chief reason for put
ting reindeer on the DuRand game ranch
is to determine whether or not 1t Is pos
sible to breed a stock from calves borr
here, which may be acclimated to Mon
tana weather. Game birds will also be
planted on the ranch. Mr.. DuRand has
a large ranch on Trail creek but expects
to control several thousand more acres
before his project is completed.

Largely as a result of the work of DR..
j. G. +. Siegfriedt the carbon fossil
beds in the Eagle coal mine at Bear
creek have received recognition OF the
American Museum of Natural History
In a scientific paper just published In
New York.
DR.. George Gaylord Simpson, assistant
curator of fossil mammals. writing of
"A New Mammalian Fauna from the Fort
Union of Southern Montana" in the
American Museum Novitates Of Febru-
airy 2, describes a collection OF mammal
jaws and teeth found by DR.. Barnum
Brown and DR.. Siefriedt in the Eagle
mine last summer.
The article is we'll illustrated by use
of 16 pictures showing jaws as we'll as
five varieties of separate teeth.
or Scientific Import
DR.. Simpson points out in his paper
that the discovery Of this new fauna
in the Fort Union at Bearcreek is of on
siderable interest and scientific impor-
lance because these specimens from
Bearcreek present an entirely different
aspect from that presented by the fossil
Grass County.
Much credit for the discovery and
prompt announcement OF this new fauna
is given to DR.. .Siegfriedt. 1t was he who
interested DR.. Henry Fairfield Osborn
president of the American Museum OF
Natural History, in the new fauna to the
extent that his institutaion anticipates
doing research work in the Bearcreek
field on an extensive scale this year.
Species Heretofore Unknown
DR.. Simpson identifies new genera and
species heretofore unknown Of Insecti-
veres. Primates. C%reodonts and Placen-
tails. In recognition OF the discoveries
made by DR.. Siegfriedt he has named one
OF the specimens for him. 1t is known
as Leipsanolestes Seigfriedti. This speci-
men will be used as a figure in a book
soon to be published on the evolution Of
man.
The Siegfriedt collection which is dis
tinct from the specimens owned by the
American museum was described in G
