Little Interest in State Candidates
There is very little local interest
being taken In state candidates this
year for some reason or other in this
section of the state. About the only
names mentioned when any candi-
dates are mentioned are the names OF
Joe Dixon for the republican nomina-
ton for the United States senate, and
Rankin for governor on the same
ticket. Very little interest is being
taken in the democratic contest foI
governor. Erickson seems to have
the best of it though Roy Ayers has
some supporters who are working
However, very little is said. The
Wheeler and Stewart contest for the
democratic nomination for United
States senator come in for some con-
versation. 1t seems that Stewart will
get about 80 per cent of the demo
cratic votes in northeastern Montana
Wheeler has not visited this section
of the state, but his two youthful sons
were here this week putting UP their
fathers picture. They were travelling
in a new Ford and doing a good job
of picture posting. About the only
word that has been said in this part
of the state was said by a patent
medicine salesman who said a gooo
word for Wheeler during his sales
talks when speaking from his car in
the different towns. The old line
democrats are solidly behind the wal
governor, though there will not be
many democratic votes cast Tuesday
in Daniels, Sheridan and Roosevelt
counties.
Other. State Candidates
Ford, Angstman and Cavanaugh
are receiving good support for the
republican nomination for judge of
the supreme court and Maury is talk
ed of quite a lot also for the same
position on the democratic ticket
The railroads are working hard a.
gainst Maury and have paid worker
in the field it is reported to bring
about his defeat. Maury in his cam
paign is showing that no working
man can get judgment and have il
sustained in the Montana supreme
court against the railroads in person
al injury or in any other case. This
is bad state of affairs. 1t is hop
ed that Maury will get the support
of the democrats who would like to
see some change in the supreme court
so that railroad domination of that
body may be ended. Ford, Angstmar
and Cavanaugh are also making THEN
campaigns on promises to alter this
habit of the supreme court.
For attorney general young George
Bourquin is being talked of mostly
by the democrats. He is now Judge
of the district court in Silver Bow
county. No word is heard of other
candidates..
Sheriff contest of Interest in County
The contest for the nomination fol
sheriff is the only contest talked OF
in Sheridan county. The old line re.
publicans who induced Hans Madser
to file seem to have deserted hin
and gotten behind the candidacy OF
Robert Rookie whom it is reported
that Jack Bennett and other leadine
republicans induced to run in order tt
split the Farmer-Labor vote in the
fall, and it is claimed that they will
vote for Rookie to a man, leavine
Madsen in the weeds. This reported
treachery is causing a lot of sor,
feelings among Madsen supporters
The opposition to the Farmer-Labo,
party will not support Rookie in tn,
finals but will support Francis Muir
ray, the candidate on the democratic
ticket. If Rookie is nominated Tuesda,
he Will be immediately dropped nv
those who kidded him into running
to help elect Murray. If Madsen K
nominated of course Murray has M
show of election.
Big Vote Primary Day
However, it looks as if there would
be a big vote out Tuesday. 1t look.
as if Dixon, Rankin and Stewar+
would lead their respective tickets
No one can guess as to the other can
dldates except Paul whose nomination
on the Republican ticket for distric
judge is conceded.
