OLSON GETS PLENTY
OF FREE SPACE IN
POLK'S HERALD

Although Harry Folks Herald
is not going SO strong for the
other Economy League candidates,
hardly mentioning them, it is con-
tributing column and column of
space to A. J. Olson, Harry's can
didate for county commissioner,
and gratis at that while he soaks
the rest of the candidates -21a per
cent of their first years salary be-
fore he will even mention their
name.
Last weeks Herald devoted four
columns of editorial space to at
lacking Commissioner Carl Han
sen, who is not candidate this
year, and lauding A. J. Olson to
the skies. A. J. Olson is Harry's
hope. Harry may, as it is now
rumored, trade any of the other
candidates for money or votes for
Olson, but he will not trade Olson
off. Harry needs Olson in his
business, and he needs him bad,
"They have come to know him,
or they have learned from some of
mis- staunch friends of mis- sterling
qualities as a man and of his I'M
questioned ability" From Harry
Polk himself probably. Olson a
couple of years ago was a hard
ware merchant in Froid, a puppet
; of the late John Schnitzler, bank
er. His principle farming activi-
ties until he went broke in the
. hardware game was farming the
farmers. While business man.
at Froid, A. J. Olson, the man of
great ability, was for years a
member of the Froid school board
practically dominated the board
During his administration he sunk
the school district in debt to the
limit, getting the district so en-
, tangled that all of Froid's main.
street rose up as a man and voted
| him off the school board. The
district has had a terrible strug'
{ gle getting out of the hole A. ]
Olson put it into.
/. . A. J. Olson had a fine hard
ware business in Froid-the bes
business in northeastern Montana
He had the good will of Sen
j Schnitzler, yet he was such al
cable business man" that he wen
broke, saving a farm in the Home
stead area out of the wreck. OF
' sons old neighbors say that alec
hol contributed lot to his failure
vet he has as Harry says Sterling
! Qualities as a man" and "unques
toned ability" His "sterlin,
J. qualities" consists? of his agree
ment with Harry Polk of N. Dab
fame to give Harry's Herald tn
printing contract, that's the on
sterling quality that Harry is in
terested in and the only one.
"He is a real farmer with tn
farmers interest at heart and
pledged to save every dollar pos
sible to Sheridan county taxpayer
during his administration"
Just like he did in his admin
stration of the Froid school dis
trict. and which means, Olson WI
' cut the Door relief and stop tn
! road work, so that there will b
money to pay Harry's printin
claims, and the salaries of the Re
d publican hangers on at the coul
e house, Carl and Dolly, and Osca
@ Collins and the rest of the trlbe
