munitieS.
Each of the districts is this year
being asked to fill quota OF 5o mem

literature have been received from the

The achievements of the Red Cross,

activities as the distribution OF $22,-
636.12 worth of clothing and bedding

Approval OF Roosevelt And
New Deal Seen In Nations Vote
Democratic Party Makes
Clean Sweep In
Nation

An avalanche of votes Tuesday swept |
into office all Democratic candidates
for Benton county offices, Fred Kemp
of Prosser and w. w. Robbins of Pasco,
Democratic candidates for state repre-
sentatives from the 18th district,
Knute HILL seeking reelection to the
Hcuse Of Representatives from the
fourth district, and l.. B. SchWellen-
bach, Democratic candidate for United
States Senator.
The victory was one of the most
compete in political history of the dis
trict, the Democrats making further
gains over their victory of 1882, and
was in line with the results in other
states. Only in few states did Re
publicans succeed in gaining strength.
In California, where much of the pol
itical interest of the nation has CEN
tered during the past two months,
Frank Merriam Republican candidate
for governor defeated Upton Sinclair,
Democratic candidate and sponsor OF
the EPIC program, by over 100000
votes.
AS a result of the national election,
the Democratic party will control ap-
proximately tWo-thirds of the senate
AMI will have all but slightly over 100
of the 453 seats in the house. Among
the well-known Republicans who were
defeated were Senators David Reed OF
Pennsylvania, Arthur Robinson of In
diana and Simon D. Fess of Ohio.
Twenty-one Democratic governors were
elected as compared with five Repub-
licans.
In the state of Washington, all in
cumbent congressman, who were run
ming on the Democratic ticket, were
reelected; nearly every county elected
Democratic officials, and an Increased
number of seats in the legislature went
to the Democrats.
The voters of the White Bluffs pre-
cinct cast a total of 1853 ballots, elect
ing G. I. Wright constable and M. $
Meeks, who had majoriy of ten over
r. w. Eastland, justice of the peace
At Hanford. where 200 ballots were
cast, E. R. Griner was elected con-
stable and G.. T. Slavens justice OF the
peace, neither being opposed. Otto II
Jaeger was elected justice Of the peace
in the Columbia precinct, where
total of 81 votes were cast. This pre-
cinct was one of the few IN Bentof
county to vote solidly Republican.
In the only contest on the state
wide judicial ticket, Judge James M
Geraghty defeated Judge Ralph Q. Bel
bv a substantial majority for position
No. 8 on the Supreme Court. Waite
b. Beals and Bruce Blake were re
elected to positions No. and z, res
pectively, without opposition. Judg
Geraghty was appointed to the Su
preme court In 1888, following the res
ignation of Judge Parker.

in the three precincts of the Prizes

Watched with great interest will be the outcome
OF the test case In the United States supreme court
as to the constitutionality of the socalled Frazier
Lemke farm moratorium act, which a federal Judge
has ruled is unconstitutional.
AS usual, this federal judge opines the morator-
ium act does not properly safeguard the rights OF
creditors; contracts legally entered into are abrogated
for the benefit OF the debtors Is the sum and sub
stance OF this decision. That the case would be car
red on UP to The supreme court was inevitable.
Before signing this bill, President Roosevelt dely-
ed deep into legal lore through the medium of just as
smart lawyers as this federal judge, SO one must CON
clude the bill has at least an equal chance the supreme
court will uphold it. Or our highest court may view
this as an emergency measure similar to that OF the
Minnesota case.
Indisputedly, the act can operate to violate con-
tracts. such as those that involve payment of farm
lands at wartime prices-4but we choose to view such
contracts as ineQuitable since these wartime prices
were unwarranted, unjustified and deceptive, hence
the buyer was gypped. We are all pretty well agreed
caveat emptor is a fa1lacy too rigidly adhered to In
the past: President Roosevelt led OF in insistence the
seller should do a little bewareing. This is a good
time In which to clip the wings OF wouldbe Shylocks.
Our creditor class must become educated to the
truth they are not sacrosanct in these days OF uni
versal loss. capital has suffered the least from the de-
preston, though most culpable In having brought 1t
on u was capltals greed that Shot stocks, bonds and
commodity stock values to the skies In 1928. Bursting
OF the bubble was directly responsible for the de-
preston.
We realize It is rather trite to insist human rights
should supersede property rights "a favorite express
son at this thne). nevertheless, we must depart from
this idea a contract entered into Is inviolabIe under all
circumstances or conditions or the country Is sunk.
Probably half Of us are debtors unable to meet OBJ
lgatfOns under existing cOnditiOng-driva debtors IN
the wall without mercy and the answer we'll could
be revolution. A detached federal Judge Is not
are to wave aside the humanitarian displayed by cong
ress and the president OF the United States In enact
ment OF the farm moratorium act, but decision OF the
United States supreme court Is. Exceptionally liberal
as now constituted, a hope 10 the court will sustain
the law.

A NEEDED REFORM

The appearance of Chief Justice
Lew Galloway In Plentywood last
week served to direct the attention
of voters to the need OF reform In
our state balloting system.
II there Is any office In the land
which should be free from any OBJ
legation to political organizations or
factions of any nature certainly 1t Is
those offices which are directly
charged with the Interpretation of
our laws and the melting out OF just
Ice.
One of the finest assurances of
protection against political aggrand
iezment WI have is the appointment
OF federal judges for lite. As a con-
sequence the political complex of our
federal courts and judges Is such rs
to afford impartial Interpretation Of
laws and serve as a positive deter
rent In the possible u%surpation OF
power which might tend to edraw us
away from the principles of real
democracy.
Whenever 1t becomes necessary
LII JudSC5 III oul SupICLlc UGuCu VI
go up and down the state berating
the qualifications of their political
opponents, deriding their interpreta-
lions and questioning the integrity
Of men whom people OF the state
have chosen to sit on our highest
court, 1t points most ~forceably to the
weakness OF the system by which
they are chosen.
Candidates who believe In prog
ressive principles OF government
would do we'll to include In their
platform a pledge that they would go
to Helena next winter and advocate
a change in our laws which would
give us a No Party ballot In Mon
tana on which, among other officers,
judges of every court would be elect
ed. 1t would certainly be a step
forward.
And on this No Party ballot
should be included the state superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction and all
officers, leaving only MEM
bers Of the state legislature to be
in regular Party columns in
Sheridan county. Here. for the past
elections, candidates have
enrolled themselves under the Demo-
cratic or Republican column, when
a matter OF fact, their actual par
" utilization was rarely known.
we're not interested In wheth-
Or a candidate for sheriff, county
treasurer or county clerk, was a Re-
or Democrat. They were
being engaged to run the county's
business. What people demanded
vas e properly qualified to do
he Job, and do 1t well.
How silly 1t seems then, to line up
candidates for county offices In
Party columns. Under the No Par
y plan, all who desired would make
heir bid for nomination In the Pri-
nary. The two receiving the highest
lumber OF votes In the field would
,e designated the duly named can
lidates-nominated by the people at
arge-and those two would fight 1t
In the fall election.
