THE INDEPENDENT TICKET

found in the first column the left hand side 0t
the ballot All supporters and believers in farmers
organization will vote this ticket straight the first
thing they do when they go into the booth, NOvem-
Der 6th if they to vote for their organized
interest
In picking these candidates, the big convention was
careful to pick the very best timber available, and the
farmers present their candidates with considerable
just pride No one can truthfully say word against
one of these candidates Even the opposition would
be glad to support them were they not the candidates
of the organized farmers-it is the organization they
are out to defeat not the candidates. In order 20
prove this just go to the ticket which the oppo-
sition presents this year. Practically all old mem
bers of the Nonpartisan League, of the FamerLabor
party and sundry organizations who have drfted
in the passing of time for another.
Most all of them are good men, most of them
farmers, and most of them are men whom those who
are supporting them, would have been opposing
had they been nominated by the FarmerLabor forces
and the element that supporting them doing it
in order accomplish the satisfaction of the defeat
of the regular farmers organization in this county
Naturally when this organization is defeated and if
possible destroyed, these will be dropped and the
old element will creep into office again.
This fact the big fact that the farmers should
member when they cast their votes this fall
1t does not make any difference in the abstract
whether the Independent" candidates elected
not There is barely living wage in it for any Off
who is honest-there possibilities for those
who dishonest Those officers who elected by
the farmers poor when they went in.
Maybe they have a and few extra pieces of fur
niture and a shack of home they have acquired
the nstallment plan but nothing ese But in the
crete it the taking of the political power away
from the farmers in Sheridan county.
We don't believe these candidates of the opposition
going to be dishonest that they will make any
money if they elected.
We don't believe that Victor Anker, if elected,
against Art Wankel is going to stultify himesf by
giving Joe Dolin the county printing, recognizing
that 'bird" at air.
In fact couple of the candidates have told the
writer that the only they tolerate Don is be-
they simply can't get rid of him-hat he just
will hang about-of in the hopes of getting
something, but have not forgotten Joe and his
county robbng-and we believe they were sincere
when they said it.
So the only real issue is, "Whether we as farmers,
will sustain organization whether will de-
feat it, Those who want organization will vote the
Independent ticket straight.
Most of the candidates on the Independent Ticket
well known. few of them need introductions.
ROBERT LARSON, for representative, has served
the farmers and the county at Helena faithfully for

ART WANKEL for County Commissioner, of Doo-
ley has held that office for nearly two years. and
