When Frank French was told that Charlie Nor

Madsen he laughed
They can vote as they damned please, we
will count the ballots, French is alleged to have
said
The FarmerLabor Party must have watchers
at the polls this year and particularly in Medicine

Labor ticket if their votes counted for the Re-

Recently man went into Ed Powers bank in

Bankers and Bootleggers
Raise $1,000 for Republi-
can Campaign Slush Fund

The Sheridan County Republican
candidates sent out to the county
central committee a S. o. S. call,
stating that things did not look so
good for the republicans as they !
thot, in fact that it seemed that !
the tide of protest against the |
court house gang was raising over !
the county, and that if something
positive was not done at once, that
the Farmer-Labor forces would !
be elected November 4th in a land
slide.
Chairman French of the Repub-
Ican county central committee
rushed to Plentywood from Medl-
cine Lake, and went into con-
ference with Lawrence Olsen, the
Secretary of the county committee:
Thew decided that something had
to be done as the republican boat
! was listing heavily and threaten
| ing to sink. So a meeting of the
County Central Committee was
called to meet Tuesday night. A
few of the members responded to
the call and gathered in Plenty
wood Tuesday night. There the
desperate conditions of the party
was discussed. 1t was determined
that some money had to be raised.
Seven hundred fifty dollars some
thot was enough. Others said the
slnsh fund should be at least a
thousand bones, as the Herald, the
Wave. and the Review had to be
oiled if they were to operate this
campaign. they We're republican
papers, but not charity organs.
Well, some one had to dig up.
What about the bankers? They
have been doing well since the re-
publican officials got in, and
Should put up, and then there were
the bootleggers and gamblers, who
have had a soft thing during the
mast two years: they should oig
nm. 1t should be easy to raise
$1,000. -.
The amount was divided int
o,otas: Plentywood bankers anC
hontIeggers, and candidates, were
inf down for $500: Medicine Lake
for 5000: Outlook for $500: west

BakeweIFs Economy Record RecoiIs Like
the Boomerang o. an Australian Bushman

Just before the primaries, too
late to be answered, County At
torney Blackwell sent out a circu-
lar to every voter in the county,
in which he made certain asser
tons, which he knew to be untrue,
when he wrote them, but relied on
the lateness of the hour to protect
him from exposure until after the
primaries were over and the votes
were cast. No doubt these false !
statements were effective and de-
feated his opponent Arthur G. Err
ickson for the republican nomina-
ton for he defeated Erickson by
SO votes when every one conceded
the nomination of Erickson.
In other words County Attorney
Blackwell stopped to deliberate and
wanton lying to secure a nomina-
ton for an office that pays $3.50
per month.
After reading this circular land
investigating the facts every vot-
er knows now that Blackwell is not
reliable, and that we have for a
public officer a man who will de-
hberately lie, any time that it may
serve his purpose. It must be a
matter of pride to the republicans
to have such a man in this i'm
portant office.
In order that the assertions in
reference to the expenses of the
county attorneys office might
have the appearance of official
verification he had Niels Madsen
put jurat and his seal upon it.
Niels himself apologies for the
act after it was too late, and adj
n1itted that the whole matter was
some of Bakewell's trickery tho
Niels seemed to have been willing
enough to lend himself to a thing
of this sort.
In this circular that Blackwell
put out he published set of fig
ures purporting to have been the
cost to the taxpayers of the count
ty attorneys office during the ten
ure of Arthur G. Erickson. In
these figures he included besides
the salary of the office and the
wages of the stenographer and the
printing, etc., the rent of the of
flee, the janitor's pay the Goa
bill the light bill, all special &C
countants and money spent for de-
tectives in the enforcement of the
liquor laws before they were re-
pealed, plus all of the special at.
torenys' fees. He added the ex
penses of the county attorneys Of
flee together for all the years that
Erickson was in office and divided
it by the years Erickson was in of.
flee and found an average cost pei
year during Erickson's encumban.
cy, making an average yearly cost
of $1O,33S.49.
When for purposes of making 9
showing for economy during his
term of office he chose one year
the fiscal year beginning July 1
1929 and ending June 30, 1880. He
charged to his expense his SALARY
and that of his opponent, and theil
mileage only; he forgot about al
of the special attorneys fees abou
the office rent, the janitor expens
es the light and coal bill, and tn,
special fees to Green in the Wand;
