Squabbling About Tickets
and The Boss

1t seems that this year friends from Mainstreet
are having rather difficult time in establishing their
United Front Against Communism.
The front they brought together so far very much
united. They are fighting among themselves about the
Democrats think it should be their turn to dish it out es
pecay snce-so they thnk-the great champion of the
Democratic party Mr. Roosevelt, has still lot OF credit with
the people.
This also be the opinion of the republicans.
Three of them have already announced their intention of
filing the democratic ticket Some of them tell the
why they did it. They want to make that they
get their job back since their is mo hope in business
One of the early candidates explains that he feels he
Republicans are obligated to the Democrats and that urn
about is fair play So he turns about and becomes demo
crat in order to be included in the obligation OF the repub
and keep his soft job.
One thing seems to be sure The Democrats are going
to put full ticket into the field ticket made by them
And the old standpat Republicans are somewhat fabber
gasted on of it. They don't exactly know how
handle the situation For it is quite impossible to
change their political opinion and become democrats Some
may also think that the New Dea is the best platform
to stand when want to be reelected workers and
farmers becoming fast disusoned about this New Deal
them
There another factor that makes pretty hard for
the Manstreeers get together against the Red Menace
Since Bennett left the county has been virtually without
'boss and the who is pushing himself forward
to take his place and become boss of Sheridan county has
successfully all the opposition In fact is en-
counterng more everyday.
This man. Harry Polk his name believes that since he
is publishing newspaper he has all the right and all the
qualities to take Benefits place.
How do we know?
WE'LL know that he insists on picking the democratic
candidate for sheriff. and he wants to appoint at least
county commissioner The others have the rest When
he wants to appoint mean, of he wants to
place HIS the winning ticket Folks county
commissioner Edward SpOkie they say And his
is by chance patriotic Many of his good friends
suspect that he has very material He wants the
county printing contract again. they tell us.
Now there many Republicans who do not exactly
Ike this boss and not only because this year he
70 Oe democrat They have number of other
So this boss business another cause for their failure
IN establishing their united front against communism and
may happen that they will two tickets republican and
democrat, in the primaries
Judging by the start it looks as if the Democrats will
be victorious in the squabbe and fight about the feed
trough good start half the battle because the demo
cratic politicians knew very well that in the end the Re-
publicans will HAVE to fall in line or else the Reds wF
sweep the county.
And the fear that this may happen is great in the heart
OF every Malnstreeter 1t great enough to make them
overcome their squabbes about what name To olive the
Ticket and about what boss to make supreme in Sheridan
county. - 0"'A1~0
The Communist Party has as yet made no announce
ment regarding slate for farmers and workers The state
ent In the Plentywood Herald that candidates for Com
mace out OF whole cloth and apparently for the purose
gettng deflnte statement from the Communist PARTY The
gentlemen from Mainstreet seem to be very rucb n
Pense TO know exactly what the Communists are Con0 tn
But have intention in helping them out of thei,
embarrassment today becauses their squabbes are ausnO
as too greatly.
