therefore, continually subjected to

Absolutely no restrictions were
placed upon US by the authorities.
On the contrary, they seemed
eager to have us see the whole
country which we would gladly
have done had we had the time at
our disposal.
We had not been locked in
Novovusisk more than a few hours

were rioting in the streets for

Arise, We prisoners of starvation,
Arise, ye wretched of the earth
For justice thunders condemnation,
A better worlds in birth.
No more traditions chain shall
bind us,
Arise, We slaves no more in thralll
The earth shall rise on new foun-

We have been naught, we shall be
all.

IT'S the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place!

We want no condescending saviors
To rule US from their judgment hall
We workers ask not for their fav-

Let us consult for all!
To make the thief disgorge his
booty,
To free the spirit from its cell,
We must ourselves decide our duty
We must decide and do it well.

Exploiters drink the victims blood,
The rich are free from obligations,
The laws the poor delude.

YOUNG VS.. U

An interesting contest will be that of William L. Young OF Wolf
Point against Leonard c. Young, incumbent, for the republican nom.
ination to the state railroad commission.
Both men are widely known, but the identical surname is bound
to bring confusion to the minds of many voters. While Leonard C.
has, n all probability, travelled more extensively over the state,
slapped more voters IN the back and kissed more babies than Will
Ian L, it s not at all certain that the men whose backs have been
slapped or the mothers whose babies have been kissed can remember
which Young did it.
This situation will be more Of a handicap upon Leonard C. than
upon William L., for the reason that Leonard C. considers back
slapping and babykBdng a very important part of campaigning and
he may feel compelled to do it all over again. If he does, he will
be kept busy until primary election day-which means his duties
at the state house will have to wait a while.
William L. Young is one of the best known and most Influential
in northeastern Montana. For years he has been n of Wolf
Points outstanding business men, an active leader in the CONNER
cil club, and one of Roosevelt County's commissioners. 1t is said
by his friends that he, more than any other man, is responsible for
the development of the Wolf Point bridge urohct, which. when
