New York Governor.
Dewey DOrman's Name Listed
Amongst the names of people listed
as getting Democratic campaign
money is Dewey Dorman, one time
Nonpartisan League Leader and La
Toilette regional director in Montana.
Dorman received $1,000 for salary and
expenses for work in North Dakota.
Wheeler and DOrman Chums
Dorman and Wheeler are bosom
friends who have always "their mitt
out" when political funds are being
passed around. They met last sum-
mer in the Radisson Hotel in Mime
apolis and planned raid on the Ras-
kob treasury. Wheeler was to pose
to Raskob as being able to deliver
the LaFollette-W Wheeler vote in the
/ Northwest and was to "sell" Dorman
to Raskob as being the man able to
deliver the goods.
Money Was to Be Given to DOrman
Wheeler was to tell Raskob that he
had spoken to Bill Lemke of Fargo,
i that he could deliver Shipstead and
the Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota
and La Toilette and the Wisconsin
vote to Smith. But Dorman had to
have in the neighborhood of 100000
to "put the job over" Democratic
leaders in the Northwest someway
happened to get hold of Wheeler's in
tentions. They do not trust the Sen
ator, Gas far as they could throw him
in money affairs. So the wires began
to hum with messages from the
} Northwest to look out for Wheeler
When the junior Montana Senator ar
rived in New York he "hitched up
D with Raskob alright and was held In
:. an elecator with him in tall office
: building in the metropolis. Raskol
: was rescued by attendants and Wheel
S er had to stay in the elevator for foul
e hours. When he emerged he coulC
e find Raskob nowhere and had to ex

Cent Basis.

commissioners in Montana We're ad-
vised to authorize county treasurers
to recOmpute taxes of state banks on a

ing for 40%o assessments.
The county treasurers are instruct
ed to refund the differences in taxes
to those banks which paid under
protest. If the banks request all re-
funds they are entitled to, $117,288.5C

Land Fights and Tells of Living In

Wolf Point, Dec. 26.-Montana in
1856, was so far back of beyond that
it did not even occur to fasteners that
it might ever be settled.
H. E. Lovejoy of Wolf Point has in
his collection of old newspapers, a
copy of the Saturday Evening Post
dated March 1, 1856. In this paper
the Illinois Central railroad has a
lengthy advertisement of land in nli-

In part, the advertisement reads:

Iowa or Minnesota should bear in
mind that land there of any value,
along water courses and many miles
inland, have been disposed of, that
for those located in the interior there
are no conveniences for transporting

Blind rage did not attack Tony
very often. A heart too generous
and kind to Intentionally wound
others made it seldom possible for
her to believe that others meant to
wound her.
When things hurt Tony, she
found herself explaining them, and
in the light of truth found it i'm
possible to hold a grudge.
But the old instincts did not
work as she heard Peg calmly tell
of the 200 engagement tea invita-

With tears of anger and panic,
Tony fled to her room and flung
herself upon the silver-blue coull-
terpane without SO much as kick
ing off her dusty shoes, and buried
her hot face in the cool pillows.
The room was dark with the
liquid blackness of a summer night
and her head throbbed madly when
after what seemed hours, she lifted
her hot face from the bed and
listened.
There were voices below-Pat and
Peg, sitting on the side porch.
'"The two of you go hand in glove.
I'm just nobody about this house,
Mrs. Tarver was wailing. after
all, what've I done? She let us find
out from other people, the TalbotS,
without telling us herself that she
was engaged.
"But she didn't deny 1t. Well,
if a girls engaged, there ought to
be an announcement party. No use
acting as if you're ashamed about
it,"
Pat was interrupting. perhaps
you meant all right, Peg, but after
all "a girls romance is about as per-
sonal as anything she'll ever have
in her life. You can't force girl

"Somewhow I've felt from the

wanted. A girl doesn't, I guess

wouldn't have let me give a party

little she had seen of her newly

She arose, slipping off her rum

She would go down to Dick and tell
him all that was in her heart and

SYBIL THORNE. Boston society girl,
concludes a whirlwind romance by
marrying on shipbOard in Havana Har-
Dor, a man she has known just Ave
days, RICHARD EUSTIS, dangerous and
fascinating.
With MABEL BLAKE, a social worker,
Sybil had left Boston for a trip to the
tropics to try to reach a decision re-
garding CRAIG NEWHALL, to whom she
has been engaged for some months.
Newhall is young and wealthy bach
elor. but Sybil years ago had fallen
desperately in love with a soldier, JOHN
LAWRENCE.
i, When Lawrence was reported missing
In action Sybil took a solemn vow never
to tell another man she loved him.
After the death of her father, for whose
sake she had promised to marry New
hall, she questions the wisdom of her
promise. Utterly miserable, she goes to
CUBA for a rest and peace of mind.
Richard Eustis is aboard, and Sybil
finds neither rest nor peace. Eustis
makes wild love to her. but not until
the last night of the voyage does he
propose. He tells her that he does not
believe in marriage-that it kills love-
but he would do anything on earth for
her.
In a mad moment Sybil consents
They are married. On their wedding
night Eustis begins to show his true
character. He gets intoxicated. Sybil
is greatly hurt the next day, but finally
gives in to his pleading and, as she
says, puts him on probation"

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-13

March, is inclined at times tc be
really poetic and flowery but this
style seems to be the correct dress
in describing the life, aims and bat
ties of hunted victim" of the
czars and later on the very man
who sat in the seats of the mighty
of Russia.
The. author has made man and
a leader out of Lenin. He has de-
stroyed the myth. He probably has
caught Lenin has lived and fought.
Whether or not you agree with the
theories and the acts Of Lenin, I
believe that you will agree that
March, has painted a character in
type that is one of the most out
standing individuals of his genera
ton.
Sometimes, March, may apear by
his f1owery language to be a little
too sympathetic with his chief char
acter but when you have completed
the book, I firmly believe that you
will realize that March, has caught"
the real Lenin.
March, himself understands social
istic, governmental, revolutionary
movements and how reforms, -
changes and overthrows are accom-
plished in a government Of a big
nation.
The thing that impressed me most
with this book was that we have a
chance to see how Lenin actually
developed his government expert
ment step by step from the time
that his brother attempted to kill
car until Lenin put into practice
his idea of government.
We actually see Lenin yield, fight,
scrap and even barter for the ele-
ments that go to make up a con-
tinually operating government.
AS March, relates of Lenin, after
he has become the dictator, on
page 295:
'Lenin did mot accept the ira
ditional unwritten law of opposition,
When in power, forget everything
you have said BEFORE as sound ad-.
vice for the statesman. But he
could no longer speak merely as a
propaganda and controverSialist.

diers at the front, for peace and war

Ulianov was aware of the power
lessness of the army and the hopes
this was arouSing among the Ger
mans. The Premier resorted at
once to the diplomacy which he
had used in past battles with coffee
house opponents he
sprang up at once, without watt
ing for a sign from the Presidium,
and spoke the words which became
the starting point of Soviet diplo-
macy: we are not afraid of a
revolutionary war. 1t may be that
the imperialist Governments will
leave our appeal unanswered. We
shall not deliver an ultimatuni
which they would easily reject . E.
For some of our conditions we shall
fight to the end, but for others it
will perhaps be impossible to go on
fighting. The point is that we want
to end war;"
We can take an intimate look
into the mental working of Lenin
as he saw dream after dream bro
ken and we see him patching them
up but always keeping his ideal
fresh and lofty. We see him swell
with power mentally, but always
keeping himself looking like an ev-
ery-day Russian. He never absorbed
the luxury of the ruling class. He
knew how to arouse mass and mob
action against his enemies from
within. but he generally failed with
those from without.
Here is a remarkable book, and
one that I recognize as one of the
most complete contributions to the
Russian problem as expressed in
literature.
To the serious reader, 'Lenin"
will be welcomed as an intelligent
study of one Of the most unique
and powerful characters of modern
times.
Read this one if you are serious
reader.

hours this morning by an abnormally
high tide meeting the flood waters of

Thames began to overflow its banks into
the rOW lying area in the vicinity of
Westminster, Southwark and Deptford,
The tide is estimated TO be six feet

great damage was done at any of these
places. 1t was in the flooded streets of
thlckly lnhabitated areas where the brunt
OF the disaster was fell, and at least nine
people lost their lives and several others
are still missing. People were asleep in
these streets when the danger became
apparent. Policemen, with the help of

people from the flooded streets, often
wrapped only in night clothes and

and others rode horses bareback through
water to take children from windows to
safety. Casualties occurred among people
sleeping in easements and in one house
