Referendum measures 33 and "a have received enough advertising
and EXPLAINING to enable all who seek to to understand them. There
is no politics or bunk about them. Simply straightforward, business
like provision for things that HAVE to be done to keep the state
institutions carrying on to take care of other measures that are about
to expire. If 80 and "a are not passed by the voters at this election
the legislature will be forced to pass something that will take their
place and which will cost Montana citizens quite as much or more as
will the proposed laws.

Walsh or GaIen

1t would be interesting to know
to which of these candidates the
vast majority of the people of
Montana, if confronted with the
problem of solving some difficult
economic or legal question, would
turn. We all know it would be
Walsh. He has ability, integrity,
sobriety, experience, and a long
list of notable attainments to his
credit.
In the light of these things,
hold before your eyes an imagin-
airy, if not a real picture of the
two candidates and ask yourself
whether Regardless of party in
good conscience you can vote to
retire Thomas J.. Walsh from the
Senate of the United States.
Walsh is a Progressive Demo
crat who put his country before
party.
Galen is a reactionary Republi-
can who states he will at all
times follow the party in order to
get some patronage.
The people of Idaho have as
much right to feel proud OF Borah,
a Republican, as the people of
Montana have to feel proud Of
Walsh, a Democrat.
The Democrats of Idaho are
laying aside their partisanship to
vote for a Progressive Republican.
l have faith that the Progress
sive Republicans of Montana who
put their country above partisan
ship appreciate Senator Walsh's
service to the people Of Montana
and will vote for his reelection.

There will be six columns on the election baIots-RepubHcan,
Democratic, Independent and three others. Virtually all the voting
will be done in those three.

The Carnival Committee had a happy bunch when they decided to
hold the trade carnival the third week in October instead of the

More than 20, 700, 900 wage earn
ers who do not derive any protec-
ton from the tariffs are favored
to pay higher living costs that in
evitably follow an increase of
rates. Instead of benefitting
workers, therefore, extortionate
duties tend to impoverish the
workers, ap oint on which there
is practically no dispute among
economists.

Both Galen and Walsh r. gaining strength" SO rapidly that
every man woman and child in Montana owe the age Of six will have

In view of the fact that the
Northern Pacific officials recon-
mended Mr.. Galen for a position
on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, let the shipper, the work
er and the travelling public ask
himself where the Republican
candidate would be,-with the
railroads or with the public?
To be sure, he (Galen) had re-
ceived s2400.00 back pension and
was drawing down S218.75 month
ly from the government, and ST.
10000 a year from the State,
while many of his Inflated bud
dies who served in the trenches
could get nothing,-yet this man
would save the State and Nation.
He claims 80 percent disability
because of a weak heart. If this
be true the United States senate
is no place for him. Men with
hearts and clear heads are
needed there.

Few Americans know that the origi-

that it was found in an auction sale
in 1921; that it was bought for the
Library of Congress for $500; and that
it now reposes in the archives of that

the effect that joint committee OF
both houses of congress be directed
to wait upon the president to recon-

adopted. The statement told about
the opposition and the debate follow

DID NOT CARRY
OUT SCHEDULE
Farm Paper Representative Talked on
Africa Instead of South America;
Failed to Show Movies.

The entertainment by Francis A.
Flood which was scheduled to be a
lecture and motion pictures on South
America. and presented at the d. B.
S. hall in Askov last Thursday eve
ming, was attended by over 400 people
an unusually large crowd.
\ Apparently the entertainments given
by Mr.. Flood are for the purpose
of advertising The Farmer, and Farm
Stock and Home of st. Paul, the news
paper in which he is writing and
which is mentioned in both advance
write-ups and advertisements about
the lectures which are being held in
different parts of the Northwest. But
if Mr.. Flood continues to do in other
places as he did in Askov, that is,
talk on Africa instead of South Amer
lea and shows stereopticon views in
stead of motion pictures as scheduled,
it will likely not be so much advertis-
ing for the farm paper that he rep
resents South America is shown g
agricultural development, thus getting
to be more of a competitor of North
American agriculture and undoubted-
ly many of the farmers in the au-
dience last Thursday night came to
hear and to learn more about South
America and to see motion pictures
from there. What they received was
few slides from the Sahara desert
over in Africa, showing some negro
children, the humped-back camels
some oxen, a team of horses that was
announced as being harnessed for the
first time over in the Sahara desert
motorcycle that had crossed the
Sahara desert for the 6rst time, ETC.

The first amendment passed by a
vote of 4S6,S1s to 135.345, and the
second passed by a vote of 42S,013 to

all the votes cast in the election must
be received by it.
In the election just past, S2s, 401

necessary for the amendment to re-

The deer hunting season claimed
its first victim in the county Wednes-
day morning at IL o'clock when Louis
Charles Irlbeck, 10 year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Irlbeck living three
miles west of Hinckley, accidentally
shot himself to death.
Young Irlbeck with brother and
two other companions were hunting
in the woods near the Jorgensen cor
ner, six miles east and y miles
south of Sandstone when the accident
occurred. The victim had climbed
onto a stump and while getting down,
fell in such a manner as to cause
a load of buck shot, to be discharged
into his hand and stomach. He was
rushed to the office of DR.. B. S. Bob
ling in Sandstone where he died about
two hours later from internal hemor-
rhage. The hand was almost COM
pletely severed. The body was taken
to Hinckley where it will be prepared
for burial, and where the funeral will
be held Saturday morning from the
Catholic church.
Young Irlbeck is survived by his
father and mother, three brothers and
two sisters. He was born and raised
in Pine county. Residents of the
county will join with the American

Borrowing relatives.

Washington, November 19-This
week finds the season of quibbling and
heartaches among the politicians well
underway. President Hoover's init
mates report privately that he is still
conscious of the mental hairshirts,"
a term that he stamped on certain
critics a year ago. Unfortunately for
his peace of mind the Chief Executive
is sensitive. His enemies, political
and personal, have no hesitancy in
rubbing salt in wounds. Wise friends
are recommending patience under
censure.
The much heralded threat of new
party formed by liberal Republicans
is not taken too seriously at present.
The real G. o. P. leaders feel that
the incipient rebellion may be nipped
in the bud. An armistice could be
established by means of the forced
retirement of Senator Fess as chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee and in the unhorsing of Sena-
tor Moses and others of the ilk from
active direction of campaign work.
The Republican legislators who came
through the November elections safe
" are looking for a new deal in the
high command before the 1882 cam
paign.

Commission on Law Observance and
Enforcement is due next month. II

CREAMERIES SHOW
AN IMPROVEMENT
District No. =. Land OLakes, Winner
of VendOme Trophy Three
Successive Years.

At the annual meeting of district
No. . Land O'Lakes creameries al
Hinckley on Nov. Is, Art c. Rentz
reported that further improvement
in weights and workmanship have
been made this year by the creameries
of district No. 2. This district has
been the winner for three years in
succession of the Vendome trophy
awarded each year at the annual
meeting of Land O'Lakes creameries
to the district making the best record
in the efficiency and workmanship
contest.
Mr.. Rentz also reported that there
has been an increase in purchases
from the supply department of Land
.OLakes Creameries over last year
and he stressed the benefits derived
from centralizing buying from the
creameries' own organization.
Herman R. Berg chairman, presided
at the meeting, which was the largest
annual meeting held by the district.
Ben Zakariasen, head of the associa-
ton laboratory, explained the methods
by which the tests are taken.
S. A. Striegl, secretary of the Pine
City Cooperative Creamery, reported
as chairman of the auditing COM
mittee, in favor of uniform system
of books so that every creamery would
keep it's records in the same way. F.
E. Harris, chief of the division OIL
cooperative accounting, State Depart
ment of Agriculture, spoke on the
work of his department. c. w. Fry
hofer, federal-state supervising butter
grader, declared that the falling off
of the quality of the butter in hot
weather demonstrated the need OF a
cooling tank on every farm.
The principal address was given by
John Brandt, president of Land
O'Lakes Creameries. Mr.. Brandt en-
phasized the difference between this
meeting and similar meetings helu
seven or eight years ago. Then those
who attended the meetings were not
| well-informed about their own bust
ness. but today any community can
pick a farmer who will lead them
on sound business principles.
Mr.. Brandt discussed the narrow
spread which exists between the price
the consumer pays and the producer
gets for butter and declared that if
the spread was as narrow in all farm
products there would be no depres-
sion on the farm today. Land OLakes
he said, during this year of stress
| had been able to do a greater serv-
ice for the dairy industry than in
all the other years of its existence
This had been possible because OF
the policy of tending to its own bust
ness. In the old days, he said, we
panned other business; now we discuss
our own business. Let them talk
about you. but you talk about your
own business, and you will go ahead
Officers were elected as follows: H
r. Berg, director and chairman, Rush
| City; George G. Wallick, first vice
chairman, Hinckley; And. G. Ander-
son, second vice-chairman, Braham

A NEW ROTARY PUMP

The Finlayson Farmers Creamery
association have purchased a new
Fairbanks-Morse deep well pump. of
the rotary type, electrically driven,
and capable of delivering IS gallons
of water a minute. The new pump
replaces one of the suction type of
much smaller capacity. This i'm
provement will make it possible TO
cool the cream much more rapidly
and will save using the ice machine
so much of the time.
A factory representative of St Paul.
came Saturday afternoon and assisted
by the buttermaker, Mr.. Bergseth,
and the assistant. Mr.. Skate. worked
Sunday to install the new pump, so
