"The Danger Of Communism
In Sheridan County"


For once we agree with our friends from the Plenty
wood Herald who emphasized strongly in their last weeks
issue that they needed united 'front.' to combat the
dangers of Communism in Sheridan county"
Yes, they needing it worse than ever before and
they are having tough time establishing this united front
However, the cause that makes it so difficult for them
getting together is not the Herald tries to make be-
heve that they cannot the dangers of Communism"
the point rather that the Democrats and the former
pubcans cannot the division of the spos before
hand.
We surprised that the Herald to believe that
the republican and democratic leaders are so dumb as not
to that radicasm has increased has gained
in this county.
With catte dying for lack of feed while the warehouses
are oyerstutted with grain with families facing utter des
tuition because only few miserable crumbs of relief are
handed out to them while at the time the Democrats
ordering wholesale destruction of the surplus all over
the country every human being who has little and
little decency left must turn from the good
ment policies" of Democrats and Republicans.
And these gentlemen know it only too well.
And the little incident of the Mork appointment
postmaster proved that their momentary dsuny results
from the fact that they cannot who to get the
soft jobs?
The old democrats are mad that the new republican"
Democrats stealing their show that they appear in their
camp majority usurb it and press them against the wall
shove them out of the picture entirely.
That makes it hard for them to get together at the
moment But the fear that their undeserved privileges may
be taken away in the coming election by the farmers and
workers of Sheridan county will bring them together
tuay They know that neither party stand up
have become utterly disguised with the whole democratic
regime in general and with the county
administration specifically.
Of course shortly before the elections will take place
politicians will try everything to fool the people They
will distribute relief in order td show that they are
nice fellows
They may try to bring in another Liberty party but
we afraid that this gag will not work twice. The people
remember too wildly that this party had other purpose
but to catch votes It died immediately after election and
the smell it left behind is still in most peoples noses
or worker will want to throw away his vote just to support
scheme The coming election battle will be fought between
the impoverished farmers and workers. the radicals
side and the babbs Manstreeters from all over the
county, the archreactionaries on the other SIDE
The editorial in the Herald is calling all radical organi
cations in the county he wolf in lambs clothing It sounds
kind of ridiculous when such accusation comes from the
voice OF those who today Republicans and Democrats
tomorrow who change their political conviction if they have
any, like changes pair of socks who will to any,
thing IN order to keep their privileged positions.
1T is foregOne conclusion says the Herald "hat the
Democratic ticket this year will not only be the popular
ticket 1t will be the winning ticket"
IF that is so, the gentlemen from the Herald really
believe what they printing why then do they worry so
much why much fear of 'the danger of radcasm?' If
you dead what is all the hue and cry about
gentlemen?
At another place in the same editorial the Herald makes
the following statement to the voters of the county us
as long as you nave newspaper In Sheridan county
troed by group of arrogant radicals and subsidized by
National organizations somewhere in the East you have
real danger to contend with"
Coming from political opponents and enemies we
have to regard this as compliment
Yes, the Producers News is 'rea danger" to the ex
ponents of system that heapng privileges and riches
upon few by expressing and exploiting the many
And because all poor farmers and workers know this
know that the Producers News fighting their battle Is
fighting for better world to live in they rally behind the
paper that is theirs They trying to make it sharp and
effective weapon to be used in the battles that are before
We would have particular objections against being
subsidized and supported by national organizations some
where in the East Unfortunately this part of the Herads
statement is not true For its maintenance the Producers
News has to rely the loyalty of its readers and boosters
And as to our arrogance" must plead guilty We
have nothing in common with babbts interests are
different and if would meet them at social affairs for
stance would not know how to talk to them So if thew
feel snobbed because have regard for them we feel
sorry for them but cannot help it.
