ashamed to meet.
Nobody ever thot Bill Adams
capable of such a thing said one
of his old neighbors, an ole cronie.
"Of all men, Bill Adams, selling
himself so quick and for such a
measIy mess of pottage. No more
than got into office than he moved
in with the bankers and old gang.
Funny how some seemingly good
men when put into office swell up
like a poisoned toad and. outre-
spectables the respectable. But |
never thot Bill Adams would g.
that route. It's too bad. Election
day Bill is likely to have a broken
heart. l am sorry for him, | mad
lots of confidence in him, but
am going to vote for Robert John
son, the Communist candidate who
lis not ashamed to take an honest
stand for the farmers and work
ers, and tell the world."s So saic

About a year and half ago
VIM. Adams, member Of the Pro

League, leader of the local farm
er-labor party, and Communists
sympathizers, got the endorsement
of his neighbors for county com
missioner to fill a vacancy caused
by resignation, as a result of the
activities of his red friends anC
neighbors. The Plentywood reds

ported his candidacy also, 81
Adams got the appointment. Hi
neighbors said here is man W.

farmers.
AS soon as appointed, the Dank
ers started to pat him on the bacl
and invited him to little parties
and the ink was hardly dry on hi
appointment before he deserte
those who had secured his appoint

red associates. He grew more re
spectacle every day. In a shor
time to went over to the gans
and in order to be sure of re-eleC
ton to this sinking little job, h
filed for nomination on the re
publican ticket-a capitalist part

Well he got the nomination, bl
