never before in the history of Sher-
idan county Princess Contests has
such interest been manifested as in
the present contest being conducted
by The Producers News. The race
started with bang and the contest
ants, have never ceased in their eff
forts to win the honor of representing
this county at the State Fair held at
Helena September "a to 28, as Sheri-
dams Princess. News of the great
struggle has spread over the county
and the cause of the different candi-
dates has been taken up by their
friends who are out working like
trojans.
The candidates are among the
most popular girls in the county and
any one of them will do honor as
Sheridan's Princess and mayhap the
Queen of Montana.
The candidates and their friends re-
alize what glorious time the win
ner in this contest will have at Hell
ena. The splendid times by former
princesses have been told and they all
declare that words cannot express the
event of their lives.
Nothing is too good for the Prin-
cesses at Helena. The girls are the
center of attraction wherever they 90.
Their pictures appear in the big
daily papers of the state and they are
dined and feted at every turn. The
best seats are reserved in the grand
stand at the fair and they are the
guests of honor at the Governors
home. The coronation ball is an event
in every Princess life and she will
long remember the gala afafir.
CARL BULL MAKES STATEMENT
In an interview with representa-
tive of the Producers News Carl Bull
manager of the Princess contest, made
the following statement:
"I have been appointed manager Of
the Princess of Sheridan Contest, be
ing conducted by the Producers News
and I take my position with a feeling
that the present contest promises t.
be the best ever held in this county
'The contestants this year ar
among the most popular and accom-
plished young ladies in this count,
and are showing great ability in thi
contest.

at Glacier Park, Monday eve-'
ming, declared that Gov. Erick-
sOr had utterly and completely
failed to carry out his pledge and
that the general fund Indebtedness
today was S3.065.000.
81 have an advance copy of the
governors speech to be delivered at
the democratic state convention at
Helena, wherein he tries to modify
the statement made in October 1924,
about reducing the debt provided a
friendly legislature was elected.
There is not one word in his state
ment of that year about a friendly
legislature; it was made without
qualification. He now weakly tries to
shift the blame to the legislature.
He made no effort to stem the tide
of Indebtedness and he must take the
blame for a violated pledge said
Rankin.
He gave figures showing the great
increase in revenues in the past -four
years, from the Dixon Inheritance
metals mines and other taxes, total
ing $5,000,000. Erickson has haC
more special tax money than any for
mer governor Neither he nor hi
friends can deny that successfully,
said the speaker. "He has simpl,
failed in the one big promise he mad
in 1924"
Rankin then launched into blister
ing exposure of the pernicious activi
tics in otote politics of the Anacond
Copper Mining Co. "In 1924 this bi,
corporation, owning all but one or tw,
of the dailies of the state, set out t.
beat Joe Dixon, the best governo
the state has ever had. Dixon's of
fense was that he conceived the ide
of a better tax equalization syter
and the metals mines and inheritanc
tazes were evolved. The big compan
bitterly resented this and with vas
sums of money and a fawning dali

REPUBLICAN, RET RALLY
ENDS IN DISCORD
Finger of Suspicion Points Every
where-Lard S. Olson and Joe Do
lin Tangle HOrns-Fear of Spies
Creates CONSERVATION Among the
Members OF the Party.
IS, -@R

A meeting of the republican party
held in Plentywood Sunday afternoon,
to devise ways and means of carrying
on the campaign in Sheridan county
this fall, ended with still greater dis
sention in the ranks of the G.. o. P.
here.
L. S. Olson as chairman of the
meeting was in a stew most of the
time and was the butt of attacks
from all sides as he tried to get some
semblance of order. Joe Dolin of
Medicine Lake was extremely sore at
L. S., claiming that he had been
sighted and had not received notice
of the meeting. L. S. said he sent
him notice but Joe was just as posi-
tive, that he didn't.
A,whispering campaign featured
the meeting with little groups gather
ing about the room casting suspicious
glances at each other and the word
spy was distinctly heard many times
as shifty eyes covered the room.
Taken all in all the meeting was a
distinct failure and the weakness of
the G. o. P. organization loomed up
as never before in Sheridan county.
The raising of campaign funds is
not meeting with the success expect
ed as many heavy contributors in the
| past refuse to have anything to do
with an organization headed by L.
S. Olson.
The excellent group of candidates
put up, by the farmers and workers of
the county has completely demoraliz-
ed the old gang and their efforts ia
get certain candidates to withdraw
from the race are not meeting with
the success anticipated.
Among the more prominent republi.
cans present were Joe Dolin, JACK
Bennett, Ed Powers, L. S. Olson
Oscar Collins, Frank French anC
Aage Larsen.

BAD CHECK ARTISTS
VISIT PLENTYWOOD

Several check forgers have been op-
Grating in northeastern Montana the
past few weeks and business men at
Froid, Medicine Lake and Plentywood
have been the victims.
The forgers enter a town and pre-
sent check on some well known
farmer and then disappear. Whether
it is the same parties passing the bad
checks is not known although the Of
ficers are making a thorough investi-
cation to discover this fact.
The pool halls and the City Cafe in
Plentywood are the latest victims.
One description given of the forgers
is that of a man about six feet tall
and shorter man wearing white
high topped boots.

CHOIR SINGS THRU
FIGHT OVER BLUE NOTE
IN WHICH 2 ARE HURT

Chicago, Jan. 3O.-A blackjack in
the hands of a negro choirmaster
stopped the source of blue notes at
the services in the Friendship Baptist
church yesterday and though the lead
er and the singer were unconscious
the worship continued.
Deacon Thomas Chapman, disliked
the sour notes and silently drawing
a jackblack felled Casey McGurick
Jones, baritone, who was singing off
key. George Washington McGavok,
basso, objected, and tearing a tele-
phone from the wall felled Deacon
Chapman.
Later when Sergeant Pat Mulvihill
dropped in, as was his custom, the
choir, led by McGavok, was singing

Deacon Chapman and Jones lay I'M
conscious in pools of blood, side by
