Appeals to Army.

Exasperated, he nervously pen
cilled a note at 8 p. m, Sunday
asking the men who had placed
him in power-17 army and navy
chiefs-whether they still had con-
fidence in him. If not, he would
resign Gin five minutes" he said.
The military chieftains never
had chance to reply formally
even before they could gather in
groups to decide their best course
King Alfonso took matters into
his own hands.
The monarch summoned the die
tator to the palace Sunday after
noon. Words of the summons

whats this / read in the news
papers about a note to the cap
tains general? Alfonso demanded
IN effect.
De Rivera explained he had ask
ed for the chieftains' confidence
not as premier or on behalf of the
government, but in behalf of the
soldier Primo de Rivera, who some
years ago had received persona
mission from the army to estab.
lish a dictatorship. He wished t.
know, he added, whether he still
enjoyed the confidence granted II
those days of turmoil.
Reply Not Known.
The kings reply to the explain

dictator left the royal presence hi
had been made to understand hi
no longer enjoyed his majesty:
confidence, no matter what the
I generals might think.

LYNNER ENTERS RACE
FOR GOVERNORS POST

Fargo, Jan.-Mayor A. T. Lyn-
ner of Fargo formally entered the
gubernatorial race in North Da-
kota.
"If the voters of North Dakota
choose to elect me governor, /

my power to promote the best in
terest of all the people," was his
statement in expressing apprecia-
ton of his Endorsement at a mass
meeting here Monday night.
Lynner, the mayor of Fargo,
won over the Twichel-Fargo For
UNI candidate and is said to have
the backing of Frazier, Nye and

bonds on the two charges is
$1,000.
The Producers News leaves the
trial of this case to the courts and
in commenting on the matter
sticks to the ethical code observ-
ed by decent citizens and respon-
sible newspapers; that a person
charged with violation of the law
is innocent until proven guilty.
The Plentywood Herald, which
has not the, courage to publish the
name of editor or manager at its
masthead, sees fit to try the case
out of court and even goes so
far as to make yelled attack on
Judge S. E. Paul for reducing
what is generally admitted to
have been an exorbitant bond in
the case of "Nig" Collins. Judge
Paul needs no defense against
such attacks from a discredited
organ like the local Bladder.
His record for fairness and his
ability to interpret the law ac-
cording 10 the spirit and the let
ter, speaks for itself. AS far as the
Producers News and its support
ers are concerned the ISLANDERS of
the sheet run by Polk and Bowler,
are not new. It's present spasm
of brain fever is reminiscent of
the last days of the Sheridan
County farmer. Unable to make
much of an impression while ap-
parently living it is sparing no
pains to let the public know that
It is dying.

PRODUCERS NEWS.
BLAST PADLOCKS
DIVE In GLENDIVE

The Dawson County Review
published at Glendive states that
the booze joint known as the Ath-
letic Club, located in the old OPP
era House of that city and oper-
ated by Bert Nelson has been pad
lock by order of Judge Pray,
sitting at Billings last week. The
dive was exposed by The Produc-
ers News a few weeks ago and the
court action followed quickly on
the heels of the expose.
We also learn that prohibition
agent Chaplin who was reported
to be on such good terms with the
chief of police in Glendive, a pal
of Bert Nelson's, that the chief
made every booze vendor in town
dress up in their best during his
visits, is to be replaced by some
hard-boiled, honest fellow like our
own Melvin. 1t is about time that
the public should know there is
such a thing as prohibition.
How Racket Works
A story in the Glendive paper
throws an interesting light on how
the protection racket works. Here
! it is:
We understand that the social
ed Athletic Club, bootleg joint and
gambling den de luxe, located in
the old Opera House building, has
closed. The light meter is out
and there isn't a chance of get
ting a sip or losing cent at pen
ny ante.
Judge Pray in Federal court in
Billings a few days ago ordered
a paddock on that part of the old
rookery raided by Federal Prohi-
bition Enforcement agent Chaplin
last fall. Unfortunately this was
only one room or group of rooms
upstairs. Another group is also
at present padlocked but the THIRD
upstairs section not long ago wa:
released from a years ban placed
on it as a public nuisance.
To Lay Low for Awhile
We are informed that it was IN
tended to open up this section a:
soon as Judge Pray issued tins
last order but now it has been de
cided to law low for a while. Toe
much publicity apparently is no
so desirable for this resort.
Of course this closing down
doesn't deceive anybody. AS sool
as a little time has slipped ava.
and people commence to forget u
talk about it the Athletic CluI
will reopen and be as bold an,
brazen as ever. Soon again fatn
er viii come staggering home witt
the pay check missing and miser.
and despair will stalk with him.
Needs Drastic Remedy.
We do not pose as any reform
er but some evils, it strikes Us
need a real and drastic remedy.
From a plain, business point o
view, does it pay to permit thes
booze selling and gambling joint
to exist? Are they not an econ
omlc waste, pure and simple! NV
cry merchant in Glendive sell
fewer groceries, meat, shoes, cloth
ing, amusement, etc. when thes
joints take toll from the workinl
men. Oh, but some say that tn
gamblers and bartenders are goo
spenders but we doubt if thei
spendings are quite as valuable a
|; would be the spendings of thei
, victims, not to mention the unhap
piness, misery and illness that fol
; low in the train of these pandel
ers TO vice.
If Glendive doesn't want tn
Athletic Club we need not have i
: but Indifference, apathy and un
concern will mean that it will 500
, be operating again.
. Let's keep it closed.
