of hogs I am reminded Of story told
recently by representative of the state
health department.
1t appears, according to the tale, that
northern Minnesota farmer was going
into hog raising on a small scale and
because of conditions he used the
kitchen for pig sly. Neighbors COM
planned that this was unsanitary and
health inspector was sent to the farm.
Entering the kitchen, the inspector
found there a brood sow with bunch
of very young piggies. See here, my
man." the inspector said to the far
mer, don't you know that this is ter
ribly unsanitary?"
"Oh, I don't know" was the reply.
II havn't lost a pig yet"
There's been lull for the last week
or more in the fight between Demo-
cratic regulars and jumpers there
hasn't been statement issued from
either camp berating the other.
This may mean that the leaven of
harmony is finally getting in its work
and it may just be the proverbial
"calm before the storm"-Im sure
can't tell
There is evidence, however, that ma
tional leaders of the Democratic party
are sensing the situation and are de-
sirous of having things patched up in
the interest of the Roosevelt candidacy
for president.
w. M Post, national director of the
movement for organization OF state
clubs of business and professional men
for Roosevelt, was reported in Albert
Lee yeterday to confer with Judge j. F.
D. Meighan, recently made Minnesota
organizer of this particular club move
ment.
w. W. Howes, South Dakota national
committeeman, who has been made
regional director of the Roosevelt cam
paign in four Northwest states South
Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and
Iowa-is expected to visit Minnesota in
the near future in an endeavor to iron
out differences in Democratic ranks,
while Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., of the
famous New York family, arrived Sun
day night in the role of personal en-
issary of Gov. Roosevelt
Mr.. Vanderbilt's mission is supposed
to be a secret one, but it's good guess
that he will inquire into the status of
and reasons for the regular-rumper
factional fight and send his report to
eastern headquarters.
Meantime, John E. Regain, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, is keep
ing busy on the stump more
so than his two opponents together
and his supporters report that Regain
is greatly encouraged because of what
he considers strong trend of senti-
ment towards his candidacy. The bur.
den of most of Regan's addresses sc
far has been an attack upon Gov. Oh

If the Democrats are onto
their job they will get some
high school orator to make the
addresses instead of their can
didate for president. Those
being made by the candidate
so far were not up to the stand
ard of valedictory addresses
made by high school students
although they followed the
same line of thought. If Roose-
welt said anything of impor-
lance outside of roasting the
Republican party, we have
failed to hear it. Hoover is
being PANIED unjustly for the
shortcomings of the economic
conditions of the world in
general and this country in par
ticular. Constructive criticisms
are missing in the talks and
too many generalities are being
used. 1t is easy to state that
certain conditions should be
changed. What the country

st. Paul, Aug. %, 1884 smart
politician remarked recently that the
price of pigs may prove to be one of
the strongest influences in the election
of our mkt President
So begins an editorial in the current
issue of Golfers magazine, and it goes
on to say: IF the summers rise in the
prices paid for hogs continues until
November, unquestionably the temper
of voters in the Middle Western states
will improve. Already the better prices
have brought new hope, not only to
farmers but to that vast chain of in
terests depending upon the farmer for
a living"
No one, especially among astute poll
ticians, will care to deny that there
is much truth in the viewpoint ex-
pressed in this editorial and will take
hog prices (and prices of other farm
products) into consideration when he
makes his predictions shortly before the
November election.
This viewpoint, by the way, is the
same as that expressed by Gov. George
Schafer, North Dakota, in an interview
with Twin Cities newspaper reporters
when he was in st. Paul last Feb
ruary to speak at the annual banquet
of the st. Paul Lincoln club.
When asked on that occasion whether
North Dakota would go Republican or
Democratic in the fall election, Gov
Schafer said: "That depends a whole
lot on the price of wheat in the fall.
If wheat brings rs cents or better
bushel to the North Dakota farmer
land wheat is our biggest crop you
know, the state will go Republican by
safe margin. If the price of wheat,
however, should be around the half
dollar mark, then anything is likely to
happen politically in North Dakota"
The Importance of hog prices as
political barometer may be cleaned
from the information contained in Col
lier's editorial, which says that during
the fve-year period of 1924 through
1928, American farmers consumed
nearly 100000, 100000 worth of hogs at
home and got gross income of a
billion and a half dollars from those
sent to market.
1t stands to reason that an adj
ditional income of four or five hundred
million dollars will Improve the tenn
per" of the hog raisers of the Middle
West and that fifty millions or so
added to the income of North Dakota
farmers from better wheat prices will
make them see things in different
light And better hog prices usually
mean better corn prices.
With about normal crop prospects in
Minnesota, rise or three or four cents
a pound for hogs, 20 cents for corn,
80 or 40 cents for wheat and 10 cents
for butterfat, tens of millions of dollars
will be added to our farmers incomes
1t doesn't require any great prophetic
ability to predict that such price in
creases will make big change in
the political viewpoint of Minnesota
farmers and have great influence on
the result in November. Already there
has been a noticeable shutting down OF
anti Hoover talk among Republican

Conventions At
HELENA TO OPEN
STATE CAMPAIGN
Finance Will Be Immediate
Concern of Political
Party Managers

Helena, Mont, Sept. sap
With the meeting of the Mon
tana Taxpayers league at Great
Falls, Saturday, having settled
speculation as to its preference
for candidates, Montana state pol
itics lies dormant pending forma-
ton of the organizations of the
major parties at the conventions
here the 18th of this month.
At that time, Republicans and
Democrats will select state chair
men and secretaries and form
their declarations of principles,
Party headquarters, from which
will be conducted the fall cam
paigns, probably will be set up
Immediately thereafter.
Finances will be the immediate
concern of the party managers.
None of the candidates are veal
thy; possibilities of any consider
able financial aid from nationaI
headquarters is not encouraging
and likelihood for accumulation Of
campaign funds in any great
amount is not at all roseate.
Participants in the platform
convention are limited to members
of the state committee, candidates
for state office, (%including presi-
Dental electors, district Judge and
state legislature) nominees fol
congress, and holdover state SEN
ators. Thus, the Republican con
vention will include 245, the Dem
ocratic 214 members, the differ
ence being due to a preponderanct
of Republican holdover senator;
and a less number of Democratic
nominees for district judge.
1t is understood that w. W. Nc.
Dowell of Butte, chairman of The
Democratic state central commit.
tee, will be reelected to direct hi
third campaign. The Republi
cans, however, are expected t
choose a successor to Joseph d
Seaman of Miles City, whom the!
elevated last May to the post O
national committeeman. Mr.. Scan
lan's recent reelection as Gus
ter's member of the state com
mittee extends to 28 years hi

COURT TRUGGlE
MAY OCCUR OVER
JUDGES ballot
Law Prevents Placing Of
Emily Stones Name
On the Ballot

A struggle in court over the
question of whether or not the
name of Attorney Emily Stone,
first woman county attorney in
the state, shall go on the official
ballot as a Democratic nominee
for district judge in the thir-
teenth district, said The Montana
Record : Herald (Helena), last
week:
Miss Stone contends that she is
entitled to have her name on the
ballot, but Judge R. c. Stong and
Judge o. f. Goddard of the dis
trict named, political opponents Of
the woman candidate, hold the
contrary view.
The law governing what a can
didate whose name is written on
the primary ballot must do to get
on the election ballot conflicts
with the law that requires the
canvassing board to deliver GER
tificates of nomination to those
candidates who receive the most
votes.
The first law says that candi-
dates nominated by votes written
on the ballot must accept the
nomination in a written commune
cation to the secretary of state
within 10 days after the election.
Since the canvassing board, which
declares nominations after can
vassing the ballots, does not meet
for Is days after the election and
consumes several days with the
duties, the law cannot be COM
piled with by a candidate who
waits for the boards certificate.
Miss Stone, whose name was
written on the ballot So times in
one precinct, did not accept the
nomination in writing and trans
NIT the fee within the given 10
days, and the secretary of state,
on the advice of the attorney gem
eral, held that the acceptance was
not in time, and the name could
not legally go on the ballot.
However, the clerk of the can
wasting board, following the pro-

CRASH ON WASHOE
HILL ROAD KILLS
JOHN KASTELITz
Services Held Sunday For
Well Known Business
man of Bearcreek

John Kastelitz, who met his death
on the Washoe hill Friday after
noon, September 2, was buried Sun
day in the B~earcreek cemetery, af-
ter funeral services were conducted
in his home at Bearcreek. Scores of
people were present at the funeral,
and a cortege of almost 100 auto
mobiles followed his bier to its rest
ing place.
Mr.. Kastelitz, well known bust
nessman of the Bearcreek region,
died in the wreckage of an auto
mobile on the east side of the Wa
shoe hill. With Tony Ringer he
was driving down the hill toward
Washoe. The car was moving too
fast for safety in second gear, as
the machine was equipped with
brakes operating only on the clutch.
n attempting to drop into low gear,
Mr.. Kastelitz missed the shift and
lost control of the car.
Failing to swing off the steep
grade onto the Brophy mine road,
he attempted to turn the car on a
econd road that cuts into the grade
about three quarters of the way
down. The speed of the car was
oo great, however, and the machine
turned over, crashed against the
inside bank of the road. Both oc-
cupants were thrown into the back
seat. Mr.. Kastelitz, whose neck
was broken, died almost instantly,
although Tony suffered only severe
bruises and strains.
John Kastelitz was born in Jugo-
slavia, June "a, 1877. For the past
rs years he has been a resident of
this community, and until recent
years was engaged in the mercan-
tile business in Bearcreek. He has
also been employed in the Bear
creek mines.
Mrs. Kastelitz survives him, with
five children, John, Frank, Mae,
Haddie and Sylvia. Frank Kaste-
litz of Bearcreek is a brother of
the deceased.

RECORDS BROKEN
FOR ATTENDANCE
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Expect 325 in Carbon High;
Bearcreek School Draws
Almost 100

First day attendance at Carbon
County High school and Bearcreek
High school was greater than any
enrolment in previous years, it
was reported by principals as the
schools opened Tuesday for the
1928 term.
At Carbon High in Red Lodge,
313 students attended classes on
the first day-four more than
we're enrolled in the school in any
one time last year. More students
are expected to register during
this week, bringing the total reg
i~stration to a possible 325, says
Principal G. R. Schmidt.
Half-time classes were held
Tuesday, with regular classes to
be started today. This evening
the first classes in first aid and
hygiene will meet, and the physi-
cal education classes for girls will
start Thursday. Organization of
the four general classes will be
started next week.
At Bearcreek, Principal C. L.
Baldwin reported registration of
81 high school students - the
greatest number ever to be count
ed on the opening day of school.
A majority of boys was noted,
with the heaviest registration in
the freshman and junior classes.
The first-day registration at Bear
creek High last year was SO.
Buildings are somewhat crowd
ed this year and instructors are
forced to carry maximum teach
ing loads. Little is being sacri-
feed in the way of instruction
this year, however, according to
school administrators.

Over Right-of- Way With
Park Officials

While waiting for official APP
proval of a contract on the ma
tional forest section of the Red
odge-Cooke highway, the Nor
rison-Knudsen outfit on Rock
creek is putting the final touches
on the Unit A section this week.
Bulldozers and scrapers today
were trimming the grade near the
Twin lakes, where the highway
passes along the edge of the steep
cliffs above the lakes. Further
down, on the switchback route on
the mountain side, two power
shovels we're working.
Narrow places in the grade are
being widened and surplus rock
and earth removed from the road.
A crew of men is showing down
the loose overhanging rock at sew
eral places along the route where
there is possible danger of slides.
Two culverts are yet to be placed
under the road bed.
The cleanup work should be
completed by Saturday, according
to those directing the work. Plac-
ing of guard rails along the 12-
mile route from the mouth Of
Quad creek to the Twin lakes on
the Line Greek plateau will mark
the completion of the Unit A con-
tract. Five miles Of railing will
be set along the Smile switch
back grade on the canyon wall.
This rail will be built of natural
timbers, like the rustic" guard
rail to be seen along the newest
highways in Yellowstone park.
