AN OPEN LETTER TO
SALES CLUB MEMBERS

1t has been a real pleasure to
work with the energetic and am
bilious members of the Plenty
wood Herald's Sales Club subscrip-
tion drive, now in its final stages,
and which come to an official close
Saturday night, October 27, at 10
o'clock.
All have shown a commendable
spirit of good sportsmmanship and
fair play; all entered the race
smiling and all have carried their
smiles right through to the finish.
Their work has been an accom-
plishment TO be proud of, and VIZ
feel sure the experience gained
during these few weeks will be of
untold value in years to come.
We are sorry that an Essex
Super-Six Sedan can not be award
ed TO each and every one of the
club members, but to do this, of
course, would eliminate competi-
tion.
The race will soon be over. To
the winners congratulations. To
those who go down to defeat we
can truthfully say, you have
fought a good fight, and especial
commentator is due those who are
game to the end.
Sincerely yours,
COL. JOHN H. RYAN,
Club Manager.

Raymond Ladies
Are Up In Arms

Ladies of the Raymond country
were in town today to place before
the county attorney and the sheriff the
deplorable situation existing in Ray
mond and asking these officers to
clean up the town of the joints now
operating there. Patience has ceased
to be virtue with them and they
have suffered too long by the law
less element of that town.
They informed these officers that
there had been two blind pigs oper-
ating in the town for some time and
another commenced operation about
four days ago by John Jorgensrud
They said he makes the booze in one
place and sells it openly in building
just recently moved on the main
street of the town.
They said that if they could get nc
assistance from the officers of the
county they would go in and use the
Carrie Nation methods on them as
the conditions are so terrible that
they will not be idle any longer and
they expected the officers to do THEN
duty. They informed the officers that
they could and would swear that
liquor was actually being sold anc
that they had seen the liquor sole
through one of the windows of the
joint, and that men visiting these
places were sold liquor as long as
their money lasted and thereafter
kicked out on the. street.
These ladies were informed by tht
county attorney and sheriff that tn,
officers were helpless, they could no
stop this condition, except on a nui
sance charge, which was sworn to be
fore the ladies left town. Is tina
nat peculiar attitude to take fol
i-ys A.srs OF the law who have sworl
- hid and defend the constitution
of the United States as well as tina
of the state of Montana?
The ladies calling on these Officers
were; Mesdames Harry Holland; Jo1
MCGOWAN, August Westphal, Johl
Lindblom, j. p Moore, Arvid Nelson
Carl Hovdey, Adolph Hovdey, Emf
Severson, Joe Brown, Henry Smith
and Miss Minnie Hill.

Well, then, Mr.. Taylor, ask your
noble sheriff, Rodney Salisbury. But
first take a squint at the following:
For chasing around "investi-

cars without licenses, suspected
robbers, and other expenses,
Sheriff Salisbury's claims
against Sheridan county for Sep

$913.SO.
Yes, Mr.. Salisbury had to
make many trips out into the
country to make the farmers
buy auto licenses. And the
county pays him 1914 cents per
mile for doing so--$913.SO I'm

Grand Capital Prize.
Count On Facts Only
Club members, don't flatter your
self that you already have votes
enough to win. Don't think for mo-
ment that a million or a million and
half votes will be enough to win.
There is more than one Club member
in that class right now, and before
the final scene comes into play you
may expect to see these figures great
ly enlarged. DON'T TAKE A
SINGLE CHANCE OF LOSING THE
PRIZE YOU MOST DESIRE. 1t
would be better to win by million
votes more than enough than to be
beaten by few hundred thousand
representing a mere handful of long
term subscriptions.
Beware of Overconfidence
Overconfdence has lost many bat
ties. Relaxation at this stage of the
game is suicidal to success. Deter
mination to win, coupled with relent-
less activity in vote getting, will
make any of the six leaders in this
race winner To temporize now is to
let some competitor sweep ahead of
you and win the prize that might
have been yours.
All subscriptions placed in the
sealed ballot box must be accompan-
led by the full amount to cover and
in the form of cash, certified check
or post office money order, Person
al checks up to $40 acceptable, pro
viding no two checks are signed by
he same person. This ruling is made
in fairness to all club members and
will be trictly adhered to.
At the present time the publish
ers of this newspaper and the man
ager of this Sales Club are as much
n the dark as to the number of sub
scriptions secured and placed in the
iealed box, now in the vaults of the
Riba State Bank, as the most casual
observer, which insures fairness to
| the minutest degree. REMEMBER:
All votes and subscriptions MUST be
n the sealed box by ten O'Clock Sat
urday night to count in this race.

Keeping The Issues Clear

AS anticipated, the foul creature
editing the Producers News spewed
his usual filthy portion ali over the
gang sheet last week and, as predict
ed, resorted to his favorite method
of defense for his henehmen-a ii
rade of personal abuse.
The public is quite accustomed to
such tactics by the News editor, but
in this campaign it will count for
Taught. The Herald despite Tay-
lor's poor, miserable and despicable
issue of mischievous and vicious lies,
has no intention of varying from its
policy of publishing only the facts
pertaining to county affairs.
Taylor's fabrications are too rid
iculous to warrant any notice. To
recognize such absurdities would be
TO acknowledge the Producers News
as a newspaper; and it is not, never
was and never will be as long as
Taylor has anything to do with it. 1t
ing but filth. Its editor wallows in
the filth of his brain and is happy
only when he can entice someone to
wallow in it with him. The Herald
has no intention of doing anything OF
the kind.
In only one or two paragraphs
does the News mention anything per
tanning to the county or the cam
paign. And in those paragraphs he
| lies-deliberately lies. Let us quote
q couple of those paragraphs to show
YOU how Taylor tries to squirn
/ around the facts:
1.-THE Producers News did not
have athing to do with the sell
ection of the independently
ticket. The Herald boldly i'm
sinuates that all of these men
are bad men because the farm
ers nominated them and the
Producers News is supporting
them. We ask the Herald
what is bad about Robert Lar
son, :. Nels Sundstad Rod
ney Salisbury, Neils Mad
sen Hans Rasmussen
Judge Paul. Are these men

Notice how Taylor runs the nam,
of Judge Paul in to make it appea

Glasses him with Rodney Salisbur,
and Hans Rasmussen
Why did Taylor not ask, what /
the matter with Rodney Salisbury, A
G. Erickson, Hans Rasmussen, Ar
Wankel? They are all on his In
dependent ticket.
Who knows anything good or de
cent about Salisbury or Erickson

reporter called on him and made in

is however said on the streets that he

without informing his friends Of the
event. We hope that he will give US
the full details at some future time.

MIR. Lundeen is the Producers

ty. His car has California

Why the Exemptions
Now, why should the sporty gentry
and the Producers News candidate
for treasurer be exempt from motor
license tax in Montana? They all
live here, use the highways as much
as anyone, but Salisbury protects
them in this violation OF the law,
while checking up farmers and MAX
ng them secure Montana licenses.
Do you know about this, Mr.. Tay-
lor? Don't you know all Of those
men? Don't you know that Sheriff
Salisbury is their friend and that ha
protects them.

with Salisbury-that Is If you look
