so CENT WHEAT WON

Wheat is worth so cents bushe in Plenty
wood.
Rye is worth II cents bushel.
Sheep are worth half of what they were last
year. Wool is drug on the market
The bottom has gone out of the price of cattle.
Butter is falling daily. Poultry is off one-thlrd
from last year, and still sinking.
Railroad rates are what they when Hoover
went in. 1t takes one car of wheat now to ship
two cars to Minneapolis. State taxes are higher.
County taxes are higher and will be higher still
next year.
Wheat will be lower next year-and SO will
wages.
There are 100000 men out of work now,
meaning with their dependents, 10000 900 on the
bread line, and next year there will be more
There is relief in sight
The republicans and democrats are proposing
appropriation of $250,000,000 for unemployment
relief less than $40 person for the winter.
But that is what most of the people in Sheridan
county voted for November 4th. They salts
fled with the republican party. They okey it!
The majority voted for Leavitt and Hoover, and
for the rest of the republican ticket.
The majority of the people of Sheridan county
are in favor of fifty cent wheat, high taxes and
starvation.
They are going TO get more of it, and more and
more
The Farmer-Labor party does not eat crow this
time: the voters who voted for the republican and
democratic parties, Tor the capitalistc system of
society," eat the crow and they will be glad to even
get crow to eat before the ordeal we are in now
is over with
But, one thousand voters in Sheridan county are
through with the capitalist parties and capitalism
And that one thousand class conscious voters, that
can't be budged by coercion, libel, or brides, is
something to point to with pride And we point
to it with pride.
The condition exists other place in this ma
ton.
Even tho so cent wheat and Hoover won here
November 9TH
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1930-11-14

The voters elected Carl Hansen farmer-labor
candidate for County Commissioner by a large
majority. Of course, many people who voted for
the republican candidates otherwise, voted for
Hansen. They could not vote for Ed Iverson., In
other words they repudiated the Frank French ma
chine.
In picking candidate for Commissioner, the
farmer-labor leaders considered many persons
Finally the proposed candidates We're reduced TO
two-Hans Hardersen of Archer and Carl Hansen
of Coalridge. Both first class timber: both
have been in the Nonpartistan League, Farmer
Labor, Progressive Farmer movements and orga-
nizations. Hans Hardersen and Carl Hansen had
served together on the Council of Action. They
were both men, tried and true. In the Farmer
Labor mass convention, Carl Hansen was nomin-
ated over Hans Hardersen by one or two votes
Hansen got the preference because it felt that
his location was better. Both Hardersen and Han
sen were considered long before the Taxpayers
League was thought Of Those who first
proposed the Taxpayers League knew that Hansen
was likely to get the nomination. Carl Hansen
himself was delegate to the Farmer-Labor mass
convention and campaigned all of the time with
the Farmer-Labor candidates, doing his best for
each and every candidate on the ticket
Last week, the Plentywood Herald, in an effort
10 discredit Hansen with the voters of Sheridan
county, came out and said Hansen is not red that
he has no sympathy with the Farmer-Labor party
ETC., and insnuated that he is a renegade who will
throw in with Frank French and the Medicine Lake
machine, and betray the people Ed Iverson did
Carl Hansen is as red as any man on the ticket,
and he is not ashamed of it. He believes in the
Farmer-Labor party and its principles. He is re-
liable and will serve the farmers faithfully. He
will be guided by principle and will strive 30
match the record of Charles Lundeen. The story
in the Herald is a contemplate libel on Carl Han
sen.
Of course the Republican outfit will try to work
over and compromise Carl Hansen: they will adj
wise him to do this and that in an effort to trap
him, but they wont succeed. Hansen is worthy
of the public faith and will prove it.
French sees his control of the Board passing
He knows that Victor Anker is an honest man

STARVING WORKERS
GROWING DISGUSTED

There are rumblings of a grow
ing disgust among the memploy-
ed. even in non-industrial Wash
ington, with the lack of action
from the White House. By the
time Congress comes back to town
to pass the annual $7OO, 100000 of
appropriations for military defense
of the most powerful nation on
earth, this resentment may have
ripened into mass action of some
sort. There may be a march of
the unemployed past the White
House or into the guarded grounds
of the capitol, with placards de-
handing bread and shelter. There
may be fiery speeches at street
corners. There may, on the other
hand, by nothing of the sort, but
a continued silence in which the
federal officeholders can resume
their poker games, and in which
the promised brilliant social sea.

human effort by a few organized
radicals and humanitarians, and by
the masses of organized labor, will
bring the outgoing Congress, at
its session this winter, to seriously
face the emergency created by
year of nationwide unemployment.
The national capital, after weeks
of revivalist talk by the White
House, is still fundamentally in
different 10 the need of 10000, 600
men, women and children for
money with which to buy food,
clothing, fuel and other necessaries
this winter. Local organized char
ity is trying to raise a few thous-
ands of dollars to meet the No
vember demands, but federal Off
Gals are content to read in their
daily newspapers that the Hoover
Woods committees are stirring ap
the state and municipal govern

feat unemployment" How to de-
feat it they do not venture to In
