The Pot Is Boiling

The rot Is DOlIlng
The lineup of the political parties in Sheridan county
is becoming more and perfect And the closer we
come the primaries the more amusing becomes Ue S0'
ton.
While last weeks Herald has a streamer across the
front page TFuson Ticket Endorsed Here Tuesday the
Medicine Lake Wave, speaking for the republican party IN
nc bio streamer prOnOunces Mr.. Folks statement lie,
stating that "Staunch Republicans Launch Primary Cam
paign."
The editor of the Herald is making himself quite +. ri
dicuous by showing obviously his efforts to control the
entire show To be the political boss of county needs
bigger personality than Mr.. Polk can muster
His statements that at the "jont meeting mot dis
senting voice raised in opposition to the plan na
ton of salt The Medicine Lake Wave declares that no
efforts had made to contact the Republican orga
nization for this Joint meeting.
It NAV be possible for Mr. Polk and his group Demo.
Gratis or whatever they call themselves to dupe number OF
Sheridan county voters but it seems rather doubtful TO us
that his methods will find very many adherents
In the meantime the Communist party is launching Its
+ Headed bv Melvin Evenson. the candidates form one
d oroup that is ready to give battle in the interests OF
th IMPOVERISHED farmers and workers Not all OF the cano
dates members of the Communist Party out al are @
and women who have other aim but TO see tna
and workers. the producers of all things put IN the po
sition where they beong-on top of the world
This election campaign is fight against parasites and
e find nentv of blood suckers everywhere people WIN
live on the sweat of the farmers and workers
Again it will be up the people of Sheridan county TO
decide whether they want to put INTO Glce cTSaeS
sbe neither political nor any other principle
whether they prefer officials who rather give up any office
than relinquish an iota OF their principles
Tn the following we give the floor to Hans Rasmussen
who something to say about the boiling pohCca
pot in Sheridan county.
Acon last week Harry Polk comes out and does all he
to isrepresent the political situation in Sheridan coun
t by stating streaming headlines that the two OLD parteS
are only going to ticket the Democratic ticket
That Harry Polk doesn't live in the county and is moi
familiar with our situation could perhaps be used as al
for such msrepresentng staeletS. uC di ~
Polk knows better, he is just playing another one OF MI
political tricks.
After having stolen the Democratic ticket from tn
Democratic committee and having filled it with the cour
house bunch and few office seekers and political renegade
Polk and Oscar Collins doing their best to keep tn
monopoly that ticket without even consuming Che eao
Republicans in the county.
The Republican party has always been the leading part
in the county, and there reason IN the world why ne
shod not run their ticket and that is just VIVA
they are going do. The Republican Committee Is bus
right at this time getting ready for full ticket TO De lille
and at the primary.
How we'll informed or how wilfuly he is misrepresent
ing things shown by Harry Folks statement repeated
several times that Hans Madsen was not gong TO run fO
to give up his soft job voluntarily, and he comes oU
and files on the PoCons ticket along with Nlels f. Mile
the blacksmith of Medicine Lake.
These two are not going to be the only fighting fc
the lob as sheriff The Harry Polk would like to see
that office is Franc Murray But Polk knows that MUIR
@ not he elected The one who gets the support of Poll
Collins and Mainstreet is the one who will agree TO TAX
Franc Murray undersherrf and let HIM nave run COZ
troll of the office just he has had while Hans MadSe
had the official position.
The most amusing thing far is that Andrew LELAND
Outlook coming out filing for State Senator on the DEM
cratic ticket Like everybody ese who happens to be
to Helena for term two Andrew LELAND thinks he hs
great political ability He is now looking for promotion
Being good Republican" all these years. he has no
made political turn joined the Democratic ranks Their
by embarrassing his party and his political friend Lar
Angvck Of course Andrew hasn't much show of beir
elected but anything like that should happen he will
be laughed at in Helena and regarded renegade and
doublecrosser
At this time nobody knows yet the full perfect lineup
the tickets Filing is open to anybody until June
From the looks of things there will be plenty candidat
to choose from both tickets at the primary election
July IL.
