man who will permit himself to be
run by Oscar CollinsG
Oscar Collins. the most notoIi-
Gus good-for-nothing that ever as
pired to public office. A man WHO
openly boasts that he is stool
pigeon for Ted Winters. A man
to whom honor is strange word.
A man whom nobody trusts. If
the people of Sheridan County wish
TO have Oscar Collins for sheriff
why don't they elect him? That is
just what Oscar Is now.
Yes, we don't believe Hans Mad
sen is a vicious person. If ne
were he would have pinched the
Grand View Hotel as a disordcrly
house. Perhaps other hotels might
be liable. But everybody knew
that the Grandview Hotel was a
house of designation and every
body knew that a prominent coun-
ty official made its his sports pal
ace during sessions Of the county
commissioners. Phil Bourassa
will not deny this. Phil will not
deny anything. Phil thinks that
every man is entitled by divine
right TO earn an honest dollar.
But he thinks that high officials
should not quarrel over their bills.
And that includes deputy United
States Marshals who might have
| given Phil the impression that
free room rent might have abated
the competition that "Nig" Collins
offered to the Grand View Hotel.
But we are straying from the
point. What we want to point out
is that Sheridan County is run
ming wide open and that Hans
Madsen knows all about it. Right
along Main Street III Plentywood,
the speakeasies run without moles-
tation. Gottlieb and Stadig stand
behind the counter with the Che
shire Cat grin on their faces. They
know they are immune. The Coun-
ty Attorney-Grant Bakeweil-Drac-
tically owns the place. They give
a handout to Lard Olson of the
Plentywood Herald for protecting
them whenever there is a raid in
town. Lard saws that Gottlieb ana
Stadig confine their sales to
snooze. The Mint is a merry
place. Beady-eyed gamblers sit
there at tables watching for far
mer who has sold lead of wheat.
Watching to trim him Of whatev-
er the grain gamblers have left
What does Hans Madsea care? He
is getting mis- monthly salary from
the county. the while he spends
most of his time on his farm at
Archer.
Then we have the Krehshach
pool hall. How Krebsbach makes
his living is somewhat of a mys-
terry to the AVERAGE citizen but Il
loses its MYSTERIOUS character al,
ter one promenades thru the poll
tables and gambling dens that be-
J strew the place.

MAY DECIDE FATE

Buenos Aires, Oct. 15.-Advance
guards of Brazilian rebel and fed
eral forces today skirmished in
southern Sac Paulo, with both
sides converging their armies to-
ward a battle ground which is ex-
pected to decide the fate of the
instruction, at least south of Rio
de Janeiro, the federal capital.
The rich cattle raising and agri-
cultural state of Sac Paulo. with
its capital city of that name, CEN
ter of Brazilian industries and the
coffee trade, is the immediate
prize at stake.
A revolutionary victory would
give the rebel armies clear path
TO Rio de Janeiro from the south.
A government victory would euen
the way for a federal counter
thrust into the heart of the revo-
Iutionary c0untry-the states of
Parana, Santa Catharina and Rio

the second position by reason of
voting strength. But Neils sand

a State or National Ticket. The
Farmer-Labor party has a COM

 IS FORGING AHEAD
Commerce Official Says Contrary Reports Are Without Basis

Emphatically declaring that ''thc notion that New England is slipping has been effectually checked" Dr. Jullus Klein. assistant secretary of commerce delivered an address on Regional Cooperation in Business, " from Station WMAL in Washington, last night. through the courtesy of the Columbia BroadCasting system.
 'refaclng his broadcast with a reference 10 Daniel Wcbstcr's plea for economic cooperation between the different regions Of the United States, Dr. Klein told Of the need for cooperation within given regions for the building up Of the distinctive interests Of that area.
 A region can contribute 10 thc common good or tho United States more eficaciously if it maintains a progressive spirit and economic soundncss within itself" he said. 'It was this ideal that animated a truly significant business event at Washington Thursday-an event that had it's origin in an invitation extended by Secretary of Commerce Lamont to the officers of the New officials here This event Was notable, I believe, as pointing out a promising new pathway for future productive effort on the part of American business
 After praiSing the accomplish ments Of the New England council the speaker went OH to say:
 Huge Sum at Stake
 "The rest of the nation needs, for example. a strong New England-as may readily be realized when we consider the fact that New England industries use annually about three billion dollars worth of raw ma terials, a considerable portion of which comes from outside the boun- daries of that region. That's the stake-or one part of it-of the nation in the prosperity of New England.

 And so we see Now England set ting an cXampe-as she has done in so many business affairs--by defi- nitcly organizing a systematic re- eional effort of this kind.

Chicago, Feb. JP)-Morc than 1900 city cmploycs agreed to T. per cent slash m their Eala rics to- day rather than see 200 Of their number discharged because Of the financial crisis

 Meantime a $6,0O0. o0O straw in the sea of debt cneulnng the city apparently was within reach Of the municipal government.
 That the city fathers would clutch it was the prediction of AL derman John s. Clark, chairman of he city council finance committee and considered the most important figure in that body at the present stage of the financial muddln

 IS WET LEADER
Calls Prohibition ASinine Law
 Undermining Government

Washington. Feb. 3 UPD--The leadership Of the vets in the senate has been given unofficially to Sen ator John James Blaine, the ind"- pendent republican from Wisconsin. chiefly because he is the sponsor of a resolution proposing repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
 Neither Blaine nor any Of the other wet leaders believe his roso- lu'iOn will be adopted but these have reached q more or less vague agreement with the drys 10 vote oN tho proposition. Some of the lead CTS or both sides want 10 make every senator vote on II SO the issue will be made clear in tho congressional elections coming in November.

 From the state which made Mil. w7ukcc famous and which MIInau- lloe made famous in the days when more than onc-half of one por cent alcoholic content was allowed in beer, Elaine brought to the senate lndomitablc courage. He stood out against the whole senate during con &ideratiOn Of the Kellogg anti-war treaty and east the sole vote against f.

 While governor. he vetoed one Of the bills passed by the legislature repeating the ;tatc prohibition en- forcemcnt act. hut later he signed d similar bill. His veto was given be. cause Of technical difficulties with the original legislation and not be- cause he lacked sympathy with the purpose Of the act.
 Those who have followed his poIi ncal career say he has been a wei merely as sidclino and has no, been considered q champion asainst prohibition. This has been the rec. ord Of his three years in the scnat..
