LAfOLLET7E MAKES
STRANGE ALLIANCE
With Sen. WALSH
Campaign Here for Man Who
Attempted to Dethrone
His Father

Helena, Mont, Oct. a., (Special)
-"Laboring men of Montana are to-
day extending their sympathies to
Senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr., be-
cause of his announced intention of
coming to Montana to assist Senator
T. J.. Walsh in his campaign" said
Stephen Ely, former president of the
Montana State Federation of Labor
today. Senator LaFallotte, o of
the late Robert M. Lafollette the
great, has apparently forgotten the
respect and reverence that rises in
the breasts of devoted sons of their
parents. He forgets the fact that
Senator Walsh, Democratic obstruc-
zionist, was one of two senators
John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi
being the other-who voted against
nine other members of the committee
in favor of the impeachment and ex-
pulsion of his illustrious father from
his seat in the United States senate.
He forgets bitterness of the senator
from Montana displayed against his
dead father in committee meetings
and on the floor of the senate.
young LaFollette forgets that his
beloved father voted against the
Esch-C ummins act, while Senator
Walsh, whom he now proposes to aid,
voted for it. He forgets that his ia
Their voted against the declaration of
var in the senate while Walsh voted
for the declaration after campaign
ing for the election of Woodrow Will
son on a peace platform.
analysis of the votes of the la
mented Robert M. LaFollette and
those of T. J. Walsh on paramount
issues during the years the Wiscon-
sin leader served his state in the
senate, reveals a situation that causes
Montana working men who revere
the memory of the name LaFollette,
to look with pity, rather than scorn,
upon the attitude taken by the son.
"Walsh voted to pay world war
soldiers $50 a month in domestic SER
vice and S36 a month while overseas
while La Toilette Sr. proposed 500
per month and was denounced by
Walsh.
"The elder LaFollette proposed an
amendment to the leasing act of 49,
20 which would have made it impos-
sible for any one to have taken oil

MURDER CASE
0RMER
RESIDENT OF CITY
the Rat" Since For
mer Underworld Habitue
Of Plentywood

Stella Hayes Mcmahon, known in
Malta as Cecil Hayes, was kicked to
death early last Friday morning in a
brawl at her house, according to a
verdict of a coroners' jury. James
Since, of Saco, who is under arrest
and charged with first degree muir
der, was found in a drunken stupor
on a nearby bed when officers arrived
at the house.
The woman's death, according to
physicians, came as the result of
hemorrhage of the nose due to re-
peated blows or kicks in the face. The
woman's features were battosed al
most beyond recognition and there
was a deep cash in her cheek where
the flesh presumably had ban torn
by a boot heel.
Hazel Mason, who was in the house
with Mrs. Mcmahon, told officers
Since returned to the place after a
drinking party and demanded the re-
turn of $40, which he accused Mrs
Mcmahon of stealing from him. The
same information told officers Since
knocked Mrs. Mcmahon down, and
began to kick her. When the Mason
woman interfered he knocked her
down but she escaped and called for
help.
James Since and a woman posing
as his wife, commonly known here as
Betty" spent a lot of time in Plen-
tywood and their regulations were
unsavory. They were close friends
of Mig Collins and the former sher-
if and the Producers Moose gang
ster element. AS soon as County at
torney Blackwell and Sheriff Madsen
took office these parties hurriedly
left here.

WEATHER
MTERFERES WITH
DEMOCRATIC RALLY
Only Handful Go to +. L
Temple to Hear Tom
Stouts Address

The democratic political meeting
held at the Farmer-Labor temple in
Plentywood last Saturday night was
we'll advertised in advance, but owing
to very bad roads following several
days of intermittant rains, the country
people were unable to attend. Hon.
Tom Stout Of Lewistown was there
fore greeted with only IS people in
attendance, which consisted of about
all the Democrats in the county and
several Republicans as well as the
local red element.
Plentywood is strongly republican
and having made up their minds to
vote the Republican ticket, they re-
NAMED at home, but had they attend
ed the meeting they would have heard
a very good address from a demo
cratic standpoint.
Mr.. Stout had a very bad cold
which he had contracted during the
present speaking campaign.
Scott Leavit's friends are legion
here where he is we'll known, while
on the other hand Mr.. Stout came tc
us a stranger.
1t is unfortunate that weather con.
ditions yer such as to prevent the
people outside of P~lentywood from
attending, as they are intensely in
terested in politics as was evident
when over 900 people packed the Tenn
pie building when Scott Leavitt and
Judge Galen visited here.

Outlook Schools To
Stage Big Operetta

A very pleasing operetta is to be
given by the Outlook lower grades.
Peter Rabbit will entertain with songs
and mischevious pranks throughout,
while his sister Dummies who are more
obedient but none the less spirited
bring Joy to everyone who sees them
in their clever antics and hears them
sing. Mother Rabbit warns her chill
dren to keep out Of Mr.. McGregor's
garden, wien she sends them off to
pick b~lackberries. 1t was in that
fascinating place that their father
met his plight. Mrs. McGregor put
him in a pie. Very touching are mo-
Their Rabbits songs but just how
much of an impression they make
upo nPeter Rabbit will be brought
out in the Operetta.
Mr.. McGregor is a very unusual
gardener. His vegetables sing and
dance and speak in a delightful way
that will charm not only Peter Rab-
bit but you too, if you come to see
them with him and his Rabbit rela-
tives when they appear October Oath
at the Outlook Theatre.

Sheridan County
Receives Much
Rain Past Week

For the first time in months this
territory has received a thorough
soaking and the ground is moist to
a depth in excess of a foot, and many
farmers are working in the fields.
George Wheeler informs us that the
government moisture gauge in his
possession shows that during the
past week a total of 1.96 inches of
rain fell in Pientywood. Reports
from most parts of the county in
dictate that more rain fell outside of
Plentywood than here.
This rainfall was very welcome,
and it will relieve the drought and if
mild weather continues may also help
the pastures to some extent, as well
as supplying water for stock on the
range.

Beer Salesman
Gets Penalty In
Federal Court
Gust Olson, Henchmen for
Mig Collins Must Serve
80 Days

Gust Olson, erstwhile ~janitor at the
Mig Collins chicken ranch, appeared
in Federal Court at Great Falls on
Friday and plead guilty to operating
a blind pig just back Of the Produ-
GERS News Office He was sentenced
to serve 80 days in Jail and to pay
a fine of $4,000.
Herschel Timbrel was fined 500
and given a 60 day suspended sem
tence, with probation fixed at four
years. We understand that he took
the blame as he was found in the al
legged McElroy pig while j. j. was
visiting for a few minutes at the
Producers News office. He had order
ed the bartender to get him a bottle
of beer and was told to help himself
and to keep house while he was over
to the News office, and the place was
raided during his absence. Timbrel is
not known to be a bar fly and in TAX
ing this blame for operating this pig
may mean many unpleasant conse-
quences for the actual operators.
D. S. Good, of Antelope was given
a 60 day suspended sentence on three
years probation. In addition he was
fined $50.
The practice of giving suspended
sentences with long periods of pro-
baton, by the federal court is prov
ing successful, which was verified by
the fact that out of more than $50
cases on liquor violations, only three
OF the defendants were up for Sec
ond offensas

OPEN SEASON ON
MUSKRATS THIS YEAR

The muskrat trappers of Montana
can take a lot Of comfort in the fact
that muskrat hides are not as low
in proportion as the price of wheat,
and further than this, the season for
trapping muskrats will be open again
this winter. The date for this OPEN
ing is not known to The Herald, but
win be announced in plenty of time.
A trappers license viii be required
the same as in the past years, and so
it behoves everyone to be careful by
net commencing trapping or hunting
muskrats too soon and to also be-
prepared with a license.

One Mean Man Still
At Large In City

That one mean man, not ordinarily
classed with the ganFster element, is
still at large here is evident by the
fact that omeon entered the live

morning following the fair dates here
and stole three %pitchforks, one Dis
ston hand saw, a hammer and some
nails, as we'll as a good paint brush
and some can of white paint. 1t is

ty last spring. The fair board would

 Misery Is Caused

CHICAGO, H., Jan 18 King Winter today held the North, Middle Western and several South western States in his grasp and also made his influence felt throughout the Western half of Dixie.
 In Arkansas and Tennessee King Winter hampered levee workers battling high water in the Missis- sippi Valleys and interior streams while in Indiana, cold blasts brought added misery to marooned families of the flooded districts.
 The lowest temperatures are re- ported in Duluth and Des Moines where the thermometers registered 26 degrees below zero.
 In Chicago the temperature is 15 degrees below zero.
