Busted Banker
Heads Sheridan
Co. Democrat.

On Monday, Aug. Is, the pre-
cinct committeeman of the Demo
cratic party met in some secure
lair in Plentywood and organized
for the ensuing campaign by elect
ing S. G. Faaborg, loan shark
collector and broken banker of
Medicine Lake, chairman of the
county committee and P. G. Ne
vile, farm machinery dealer and
collector of Plentywood as secre-
tary-treasurer. Neville is the man
who as the representative of the
Dooley Implement company seized
Hol Johnson's wife's cattle last
fall, which the U. F. L. forced
him to turn back. Then these
three or four committeeman pro"
ceeded to elect old J. w. Mckee,
formerly the cashier of the old de-
funct and looted First National
bank, loan shark, loan agent, and
rent and bad debt collector of
Plentywood as state committeeman
for Sheridan county, which means
that when Roosevelt is President
J. w. Mckee will dole out the
Electromagnetic post offices and
such like-in Sheridan county.

TEAR GAS ATTACK
Deputize Army of 5000 if
Necessary to Break Strike
Says Sheriff
SUGGESTS MURDER
Farmer Labor Misleaders
Try to Get Control of
Strike to Smash it
SUGGESTS MURDER

With the militancy of the
striking farmers winning
new recruits to the struggle
the milk trust is attempting
to break the strike of the
Iowa dairy farmers with use
of an army of gun thugs
deputized to crush the farm
ers. Sheriff Lainson has al
ready IS thugs armed with
clubs and guns with which
he has threatened to smash
the picket lines around
Omaha. He has threatened
to run every picket out OF
Pottawatomie county,.
The farmers are more de-
termined now than ever to
stand their ground, hold the
picket lines, despite the
threats and attacks of the
milk trust thugs, and to win
higher prices from the milk trust.
They have succeeded in stopping
all trucking to Omaha and have
won substantial support among
the farmers of Nebraska across
the line. Not a single truck reach
ed Omaha on Wednesday after 8
a. m.
Tear Gas Used Against Farmers
Sheriff Laison has boosted that
he will recruit an army of 5000
if necessary. This army will be
used to force the farmers to accept
the miserable prices of the milk
trust, without a murmer. Laison
has armed his gunner with tear
gas.
The gas has already been brOt
into use. Farmers who were
picketing the roads around Omaha
have been attacked with tear gas
bombs.
The spread of the strike to Me-
braska has brought the state adj
ministration out for armed oppo-
sition to the farmers. Governor
Bryan has ordered all sheriffs to
deputize as many thugs as nee
essary to break the strike, which
he calls "upholding the law"
Leaders Betray
The Milk Producers association
is trying to betray the strikers.
The leaders of the association
have reached an agreement with
the distributors-with the milk
trust-which is a betrayal of the
, demands Of the farmers. The
farmers have refused to accept
this agreement and have continued
their picketing. The Association
leaders have now showed their
true face-as agents of the milk
trust-by appealing to the attor-
ney general to protect milk trucks
by the use of the militia.
Sheriff Laison has openly or
dered his deputies to proceed with
brutality against farmers whom he
calls 'hoodlums." 81 don't want
any of you boys 10 get hnrt," h
told his deputies. 'SWhat happens
to the other fellow doesn't MATES
