gan Arnot entered plea of not

OF PRESENT GANG

In the following letter to Art
Wankel, executive secretary of the
Farmer-Labor Party of Sheridan
County, Martin Homme, progress
sive of Outlook, declines the NOM
nation for assessor rendered to
him by the Farmer-I.abor Party
convention and states that he is
firm supporter of the principles of
the Farmer-Labor Party and will
work for the success of the ticket

In last weeks issue of the local

Executive Committee, Farmer-La-
Dor Party of Sheridan Count.
Dear Mr.. Wankel:
Because of business reasons, /
must decline the nomination for

honored me with.
I wish you to understand that
am firm supporter of the Far

and will do my utmost to help the
whole ticket to victory at the polls
on November 4th.
The farmers of Sheridan Coun-
ty have had enough of the pres
ent administration and | believe
they are returning to the party
that served them so we'll before
the Farmer-Labor Party.
Sincerely yours,

Wrestling Match At
Brush Lake Sept. 18th

Elwood House, well known Out
look wrestler, will meet Bill Nc
Ginty, Plentywood wrestler in
finish match at Brush Lake, Sun
day, September 28th.
A good preliminary match will
be staged by the McGinty boys,
who put up a tough battle and
show wonderful knowledge of the
wrestling game in ones so young.
The winner of the bout will
meet George Lofthus of Crosby
for side bet and honors.
An admission price of only 25
cents will be charged to see the
entire bout, and no doubt a good
crowd of wrestling fans will be
present to see these two gladiators
in action.

Plentywood Teetotalers
Wage Mighty War on
Booze In Rowdy Revel

The Power Octopus called in it's
local guard to Ye Elgin Inn Sat-
urday night last, and staged a ''li'l
OF party" in honor of the Plenty
wood gentry who wrought so 10y
ally and faithfully for the COM
Tpany in the recent municipal own
ership campaign, namely, Jack
Bennett, Fred Morck and Lou On
stad.
Mr.. Obedia Ferguson the genial
manager of the power company
was Ye Host and he ordered up a
toothsome feast for the gentle
men. After the viands were de-
voured, Ye Host ordered up the
wine and it is said that it flowed
generously and frequent. AS the
night deepened the guests grew
merry and, indeed, somewhat hi
larious, all being in conversa-
tional mood and exceedingly
friendly, they embraced one and
another, and sometimes each other
all at once and at one and the
same Time.
At intervals Ye Merry, Happy
Swain broke forth in song and at
last Lou Onstad, in his exuber-
ance waved his wooden limb aloft
and shouted for very glee, and
hurled his glistening glass at the
dome of Jack Bennett, the post
master, when Jack, in jovial
vein tossed his mug at Louis gy-
rating limb, and hit it the first
crack. Then the crockery was
thrown hither and thither falling
with mighty crashes upon the inn
floor amidst the lusty shouts OF
| We revelers.
The riot continued until We mer-
rymakers, all soused, were well
nigh tired, and staggered home
to their cots and happy dreams.

John Lien, popular young
farmer of Outlook, has
been selected as candidate
for county assessor, Martin
Homme, stalwart progress
sive, having declined the
nomination because his
business interests require all
his attention
1t took a lot of persuasion on
the part of his many friends in
Outlook and all over the county to
induce Lien to make the race, but
he finally consented to make the
personal sacrifice involved, in the
interests Of the Party.
Selmer EspeIand, selected for
County Treasurer by the executive
committee to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the refusal of Edgar Syv-
eruud to accept the nomination be-
cause of his official connection
with the Taxpayers Association, is
a well known progressive of Nc
Elroy. Espeland was drafted by
the Party. With Lien and Espe-
land, as indeed with every candi-
date on the Farmer Labor Party
ticket, it was a case Of the office
seeking the man. The F. l.. P.
candidates are not office-seekers
or payroll flies. They stand ready
to serve the producers of the coun-
/ ty and build up a movement that
will spread all over the country.
The Farmer-Labor county ticket
is.
Robert Larson for State Senator.
Andrew Hansen and Hans Har-
dersen for Legislature.
Carl Hansen for County Com
missioner.
Charles Norton for Sheriff.
Hans Rasmussen for County
Surveyor.
Peter Glein for Clerk & Record
er.
John Lien for County Assessor.
Selmer Espeland for County
Treasurer.
Elna Brinkman for County Su-
perintendent.
Edward Hanna for County Cor
oner.
Jack Gibbons for County Ad-
ministrator.
The complete list of candidates
for Justices of the Peace anC
COnstables in the various Judicial
districts will be announced soon.
The growing opposition to the
present hybrid Demo-Republico ad
ministration promises to bring
about the election of the whole
Farmer-Labor ticket. The French
Dolin-Powers gang of pohtica
burglars are completely discredit
ed. The cynical disregard of tn,
|, interests of the farmers and tax
payers has opened the eyes of th'
| voters to the fact that they cal
never expect an honest administra
; tion of the county from those wht
, believe in serving the bankers, col
; lectors and all those who live a

Coupled with this major
consideration is the perma-
nent hostility of the Ameri-
can ruling class to the Sow
ct Union and the obvious ef-
forts made since the advent
Of president Hoover to
work up a hostile feeling in
the United States and inter-
nationally a g gainst the
Workers and Farmers Re-
public.
Congressman Hamilton Fish's
"Red" quiz is part of the pro-
gram.
The producers News believes it
a paramount duty to keep its
readers informed on the subter-
fuges employed by the Great En-
gineer" to stem the tide of revolt
against his administration which
has set in during the past year.
1t is an old trick of the ruling
classes to switch the wrath of
their betrayed and deceived "sub-
iects" to some other target when
the peoples patience with their
lot approaches the vanishing point.
1t would be quite to Hoover's taste
now if the American masses de-
veloped a case of mass hysteria
against Russia. 1t might save
many Republican congressman and
senators from slaughter at the
polls on November a.

New York, Sept. 23.-Secretary
Hyde's attack on soviet wheat op-

Nobody thought Jim was much

into the house for night from his
usual sleeping quarters in his
kennel in the back yard. It was
quite cold outside and Rex wanted
his pal to be where it was warm.
About 8 in the morning Jim be-
came restless and left his masters
bedside, scratched the front door,
barked and then returned and
woke Rex, who tried to put Jim
outside, believing the house was
too warm.
Jim refused to go and made
such a fuss about it that it awoke

Just a Minute, Please
By Charles Gordon


Today a stranger called and in
answer to an inquiry said, Phone
me at The Sherman"
Did you ever stop to consider
that part Of Wolf Points develop
ment is due to its hotel. In these
days, almost every city has an out
standing hotel of which its citi-
zens are proud. We have The
Sherman.
Since a hotel like this brings
many thousands of dollars into
the city annually, it is interesting
to inquire where the money goes.
Surveys have shown that more
money is spent by guests on the
outside of the hotel than in the
inside. Merchandise, gas oil and
other incidentals are purchased by
the visitors and of the actual
money received by the hotel very
little remains with the owner. 1t
goes back into circulation right
here in Wolf Point. 1t is spent
for wages, foods and supplies that
reach into practically every line
Of Wolf Points business. For
hotel purchases range from tender
loin beef to carpets, nails, window
shades, draperies, sheets, oif-in
fact nearly everything you can
think of.
Human reactions are difficult
to chart. But there is one factor
which may be reckoned with GER
tainty. When visitors find q
pleasing and comfortable hotel,

think of any one to call up, but it would be worth the money just to
wish him the top of the morning, because we'd have to do it the
night before. Fancy talking from Boston at 5 O'clock tonight to some
one in Sydney, whose clock and calendar would proclaim that at that
moment it was 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!
When a person in this country is talking to Australia, via the
recently opened service to that continent, he is conversing with some
one who is actually from Is to IS hours ahead of him, depending on
what part of America he is calling from. Furthermore, the chances
are that the conversation is taking place tomorrow" a the Australian
end, since for twothirds of each "a hours the Australian calendars are
one day ahead of ours Because of this difference in time, the man
this country who calls Australia o n a Saturday afternoon, for in
stance, may be startled to hear his Australian friend remark that his
family has just drawn up to the Sunday morning breakfast table.
