DITCH EXONERATED.

DR.. William G. Fowler, District Health
officer, announced yesterday that the
open sewer cut diagonally opposite the
Webb School at Fifteenth and Rosedale
streets northeast. was in no way respon-
sible' for the 18 cases of diphtheria
among school children in that neighbour
hood.
DR.. Fowler declared that DR.. Joseph
A. Murphy, chief medical inspector for
the public schools, who investigated
the conditions against which neighbors
complained, was convinced that the only
Objectionable features which could arise
from the sewer cut, so far as health is
concerned, would be the breeding of
mosquitoes in warm weather in the
event water was allowed to stand in
the pit.

The Drp Law Summed Up

Next week will see the dry forces of Montana enter the last
lap of their campaign for re-enactment of a prohibition law to
replace the law repealed two years ago.
The new measure, Initiative No. 80, will be found at the
bottom of the large ballot below the names of candidates. This
was provided at the last Legislature.
Montana now has no prohibition law and has less control
over liquor than when q territory. The new measure does not
provide for levying of a tax for its enforcement, nor does it pro
vide for state funds to be appropriated. 1t does not provide
for a state enforcement department, even though statements
to the contrary have been made by its opponents. 1t does not
provide for any prohibition that it not in force today through
the federal law.
1t does provide that the federal law shall be adequately en-
forced as 1200 officers instead of II or IA will be charge with
carrying out its provisions. 1t provides additional revenue for
the county as all fines and forfeitures derived from it's enforce
ment will go to the general fund of the county where the viola
ton occurred.
1t does provide that the national prohibition act shall be-
come the state law of Montana and that all sheriffs, constables,
police officers, county attorneys, judges and juries shall be re-
CURED to uphold this law as any other law on the statute books. j
1t provides that when ever congress shall change or modify the
national prohibition act, that change shall be effective in Mon
tana.

Political Announcements
FOR STATE
FOR McCONE COUNTY

Having duly filed in the Prim.
airy and having been regularly
nominated, am now following the
usual custom of declaring in this
public manner to the voters Of
McCone County that my name
will appear on the County ticket
in the Democratic column in the
space provided for State Senator.
The friendship, acquaintance and
experience of my LIST term should
fit me for better general legisla-
ton.
l have not the time, and I truly
believe the people do not desire
a candidate to go among them,
too much, soliciting votes.
If you deem it proper to give
me your vote and am elected
for a second term I am certain
that | will honor your trust faith
fully as l have always done in my
contacts with humankind, weigh
ing always without fear, fairness
against against selfishness and
prejudice.
Respectfully submitted,

The March on Kansas City

Lowden leaders frankly admit that the so-called
@march Of farmers" on the republican convention a.
Kansas City will materialize and that fully 100000
farmers Of the Middle West will be present to impress
upon republican leaders that the west is opposed to the
attitude Of the administration in respect to farm re-
lief. The farmers will be a unit in opposing Hoover
and supporting Lowden. according to Robert NJ. Cham
Der, Kansas City manager for the Lowden campaign.
Farmers for the march" are now being recruited
throughout Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, the Dakotas
and other agricultural states. Low3en leaders asscrS
that each county is being organized to send its con-
the "marchers," who will do their marching" in auto
mobiles, will be n straw hat and overalls. Assurances
have been received. they stated. that fully 100000
farmers will he present to participate in the demon
stration.
Kansas City is worried over the situation, and 40
mits il. There are plenty Of camping facilities in the
city and environs. but the "Coxey army" OF 1928 will
demand hotel rooms with private baths and all other
appurtenanees, which Kansas City is not in position to
provide such numbers. The city has made ample pro.
visions TO entertain a normal number OF convention
guests, but would not be able TO entertain an army OF
100000 farmers in addition.
What the Lowden leaders hope to accomplish BY
the demonstration is conjectural. The Eastern delega-
tions, which will control the convention, are adamant
in their opposition to farm relief as provided under
the terms of the McNary-Haugen bill. In view Of this
fact, Lowden could not be a compromise candidate In
the event the Hoover forces fail to muster sufficient
votes, and any demonstration such as proposed would
oniy serve to reduce his chances Of securing the nom
:nation.
