To the Farmers of Sheridan County:
read with a1nazement the statement appear
ing in the last issue of the Plentyvvood Herald of
Arthur Ryder republican candidate for senator OF
Roosevelt county, boosting the candidacy of A. ].
Olson, republican, for commissioner of Sheridan
county.
Ryder's article no doubt is the i'll advised and
impuIsive act of good natued candidate looking
for chance to do an old friend favor regardless
of the facts.
OF course there is nothing 'exceptionaI"
about A. !. Olson. | have known him well for
many years He is just a small town businessman,
being in the hardware racket at Frod for many
years until his creditors closed him out as the credi-
tors will do to all of them in probably about
the same caIibre as the Hardware Petersons at
Plentywood, (same mentality and entertaining
about the attitudes), considerably inferior to
Leo Zeidler III general intelligence and ability.
In politics is stand pat republican and
proud of it; he is reactionary, narrow minded and
bigoted-aEways for the upper dog. ust the sort
of fellow that Harry Polk would pick up for COM
missioner.
He has always been against anything farmers
have been for. He has one progressive liberal
idea in his head In county politics he has always
trained with the Roosevelt county gang.
While making no excuses for Frank French
on his record as commissioner otherwise, facts
force me to say that French is the better man in
point of intelligence, ability liberality and even in
integrity SO if you did not want French, you surely
don't want Olson.
1t would be, really, sorry thing if Sheridan
county farmers elected A. ]. Olson as county com
missioner, especially with such man as Daniesen
on the ticket.
Olson has no ability as an executive. Facts
are conclusive as to that. He was on the school
board at Frod, the dominating member for many
years, and during his tenure of office the district
was sunk in debt bv etravagancies he initiated
sponsored, he leaving office with tax levy of 81
mills or the district. Farmers here who
know Olson laugh when shown Ryder's statement
also know Magnus Danielsen,~ candidate fo
commissioner on the Communist tcket-hav
| known hi mfor years and years. He is fine, cap
| able, outstanding man. respected by and command
ing the confidence of every neighbor without re
gard to political or religious affiliations. He ha
been elected by his neighbors to the sew
era boards of the many cooperative enterprises a
Dagmar the duties of which offices he has requite
with credit himself and to the satisfaction of al
He has had plenty of experience, and is an absc
l. lutely sober, honest and dependable man. He ha
Il joined and sincerely supported every movement f.
the benefit of the farmers IF you elect YOUR oI
1 neighbor. Magnus Danielsen, you will have con
missioner whom you can depend upon to be wit
II you all of the time.
