The Herald took a determined stand
in favor of the Republican nominees
and exposed many things about Tay-
lor and the Producers News. Taylor
almost wept in addressing his audi
ences, saying that The Herald was the
only one exposing anything about his
past record, as well as that of the
Producers News. The public did not
forget that for fourteen long years
that man has taken a great deal of
pleasure in writing excoriating stOr-
les about many of this county's lead
ing citizens, as we'll as many who
were not SO well known. He just got
a dose of his own medicine and he
did not like it a little bit, and some
Of his fanatical followers deeply re-
scented our exposure of Taylor and
the inner circle Of the Communistic
party and so it has been reported
that in the event Erickson and Nor
ton were elected, a special party was
to be staged by some of the element
such as the leaders in the castor OIL
party north Of Raymond four years
ago, intended to call at The Herald
office and stage a demonstration such
as has never been staged before in
this county. Besides that, they had
planned, so it is reported, to cause
the editor of The Herald all kinds of
trouble through trumped and false
! charges, with the idea Of trying to
set an example of fear so that in the
future no editor would ever have the
temerity to expose them. They failed
to come, and we never had entertained
a thought of molesting the reds or
their newspaper, as they are now
down and out anyway.

Bill Hass plans on staging a mock
funeral for the exploded balloon that
has harassed him for several months
past, after he had fed him for years.
The party is scheduled for the near
future and Bill says hat $3.50 will not
be too much to spend on the party.
1t will be pulled in Plentywood.

We wonder how soon Taylor in
tends leaving this County in COM
plance with his promise to vacate,
which he said several times during the
campaign, that win, lose or draw, he
would pull stakes? Maybe that is
the reason for the intended collection
campaign that is to be started next
Monday, to collect up back subscrip-
tions and "get as much as possible"
That hurry up telegram that will ar
rive about December LIST, after these
collections have been made, calling
him to Minneapolis, in such short or
der that he will not have time to
write out checks for the employees,
may hasten his departure.

And now they say that A. c. Err
ickson intends leaving Sheridan coun-
ty for some other part of the country
to build up a political law practice.
Run along Erick, run along, and ped
die your papers.

According to the vote for Sher-
if, there were only 105 votes less
cast this year than two years ago,
at which time there was a total vote
Of 1902, and this year there were
1888 votes cast for that Office.
The absent voters ballot of G. A.
Olson, who is serving a term in jail
at Great Falls on a sentence from
Federal Court there, was thrown cut
when the signature on his application
for such absent ballot was compared
with his signature on the envelope
containing the voted ballot, and also
from the further fact that the envel-
ope was not sealed. There may be
some interesting developments arts
ing from this incident if it becomes
necessary to call in a hand writing
expert.

S. R. Collins, who supported the
FL ticket in order to elect Norton
for Sheriff and Erickson for county
attorney, failed to vote as his right
was challenged for the reason that he
had been convicted of a felony in
North Dakota and served a term in
the p~enitentiary there, and had no
records to prove that his citizenship
had been restored. He failed to at
