(By the United Press)

Democratic leaders seem to
think Senator Walsh's announce
ment that he would abide by any
prohibition referendum in Mon
tana has spiked one of the repub-
lican's biggest senatorial guns.
Inasmuch as, both major parties
have handled the prohibition issue
as if it were dynamite-which it
probably is-discussion of the
question has been confined mostly
to speculation, to date.
Although he hasn't expressed
himself, Justice Albert Galen,
leading candidate for the republi-
can nomination, is credited with
being wet. Walsh, on the other
hand, is dry. There seems little
doubt but what Montana is soak
ing wet-its repeal of the state
prohibition law and later its re-
fusal to re-establish the state dry
regime; its Literary Digest poll
vote and smaller polls such as
conducted by the Bozeman Chron-
icle and the Lewistown Democrat.
News all point to that conclusion.
Thus the stage was set for g
strong prohibition battle wher
Justice Galen and Senator Walsh
faced each Understanding, o.
course, that o. H. P. Shelley'i
vigorous single-handed fight fol
the republican nomination will fail
At this juncture, the veteran
campaigner, Walsh, made his ref
erendum statement which, demo
cratic leaders hope, will retail
dries and, at the same time keel
vets in the Walsh camp.
Whether or not prohibition as
sumes major Importance as an is
sue depends on Justice Galen, pc
litical observers believe. Certain

going to stress his dry views in

retained Onstad, | inquired
Of her if it were a fact and
she told me positively that
she had not, that she had
not even mentioned the

he was in the case she had
nothing to do about it. She
said that Onstad had been
very kind to her, that he had
called upon her on several occa-
sions, had taken her automobile
riding, and had invited her over
to his home to dinner several
times, and that Mrs. Onstad and
Miss Onstad had called upon her
frequently, which she appreciated
very much, but that she had not
retained him as her attorney.
This is all that I know about the
matter. l saw by the Great Falls
Tribune that Attorney Slattery
had been retained in the case. Mr..
Slattery is an exceptionally good
lawyer, and he is acceptable to
me. Miss Hass told me that
her friends at Outlook had had
negotiations with Attorney Stat
terry looking towards his employ
ment to assist in the case, but that
she did not know what arrange
ments had been made"
However, the Producers News

that Attorney Slattery would as

phasis upon the assist.

Ward, file clerk in the Federal
Power Commission office, has fill
ed charges with the Commission,
to the effect that letters from
power company executives, urging
the appointment of Executive Sec
rotary Bonner to the post he now
holds were taken from the Com
MISSIONS files when or just after
Bonner had possession of those
files, last fall. She declares that
former Executive Secretary Mer-
rill will testify that the letters
were received before he left the
office, and were there when Bon
ner came in. Bonner testified be-
fore the Senate interstate COM
merce committee that he did not
know that power company chiefs
had urged his appointment.
Bonner was in California last
summer when the newspapers dis
closed that the power trust was
very influential in shaping his pol
icy. Upon his return, late in Aug
ust, he secured the files. Mrs
Ward charges that she saw Chief
Clerk Griffith taking papers from
these files. Recently, when a let
