Late in a political campaign is
when the character assassins do
their work. Well aware that their
ISLANDERS and libels will not stand
investigation, these assassins
wait until the time is too short
for the voters to learn the truth.
Often only too late the people
discover that they have been
misled, that they have been
made the pawns of political
racketeers.
The stencil of one of the most
malodorous instances of this is
still fresh in the nostrils of Mon
tana. Late in the recent primary
campaign-too late for the voters
generally to learn the truth
Governor Holt was attacked with
charges that resulted in his de-
feat. The editor who published
these charges now faces a Grim.
inal libel prosecution. The gov
ernor has filed a civil libel action
against others in this connec-
ton.
Vindication in the courts and
the fact that many voters, now
having got the facts, repent OF
their folly in being misguided by
libelous statements, cannot undo
Governor Hollis defeat in the
primary. But a reaction has set
in. People want to be fair. They
resent being victimized by I'M
truths. In their hearts they de-
test character a~ssassins, for in
the range of nearly everyone's
experience is the recollection of
the work of such malefactors.
What happened in the recent
primary should be wildly kept
in mind now. Every voter should
be on the alert for last-minute
scandal revelations. Let him

not forget that these exposes
are timed so hat the candidate
assailed has no chance to defend
himself against them. The per-
petrators of these infamous CAL
umies don't care how many re-
grets the people may have when
the election is over and the
truth comes out. Their scheme is
to win, and the more desperate
their case, the greater the
lengths to which they will go to
defame their opponents.
Already the same political
racketeers are Dragging that
they will assassinate the charac-
ter of Frank Hazelbaker during
The last few days of the CAM
paign. The forerunner of this at
tack is to be seen in cartoons
now appearing in various parts
of the state. Now is the time foi
men and women of Montana to
be prepared for almost any out
elandish story and to question the
source and the reason for such
an attack.
There is n practical way for
the people to combat this evil
and that is to consider these last
minute attacks as the best of
reasons for voting for the can
didate or candidates thus UNI
fairly assailed. Election day is
the time to put the political
character ~assassins out of busin-
ess.-From the Bozeman Cour-

Hotel or Inn Different
in Some Other Countries

In England anything from a private
house with a couple of rooms to let
to a huge establishment, with hun
dreds of rooms, run on the most up-to-
date lines-can be described by its
owner as a hotel, says Pearson's
Weekly.
In Scotland an inn or hotel Is de-
fined, under the licensing act, as
place of accommodation having not
fewer than four apartments set apart
exclusively for the sleeping accommO-
dation of travellers.
But in Vienna, Austria, no establish
ment may call itself hotel unless 1t
has at least so bedrooms. Outside
Vienna the rooms must not be fewer
than 80. Also, fixed proportion Of
the rooms must be equipped with
certain standard of comfort.
The main requirements that are de-
manded by Portuguese law are quaint
~ described as "a properly-dressed
staff, spotlessly clean DINING room
with little tables, an entrance as large
as possible, and electric light If OBJ
tainable."

Salt Mine Clea,n

Totally unlike coal mine, salt
mine is perfect example of cleanli-
ness and orderliness, observes a writer
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. AL
though the mine Is in full operation,
neither workmen nor machines are to
be seen, for salt mining consists Of
nothing more than "a series of water
pipes which continually spray the
sides of the mine with water under
high pressure. This water, bringing
with it the salt from the walls of the
mine, falls to the bottom of the shaft.
1t is accumulated in reservoirs and
then pressed overhead where the salt
crystals are retained in large pans.
About 120,000,000 pounds of salt are
extracted every year from the SAILS
burg mine in Austria, one of the most
famous in the world.

When March Wa. First Month

When March Was First Month
Until 1897 Venice began the year
on March 1. March was "the first
month" to the early Christians.
Throughout the Middle ages the year
might begin on different dates in diff
ferent places, and styles of reckoning
took their names from towns In many
Benedictine monasteries the year was
reckoned from Christmas as late as the
beginning of the Fourteenth century.
and this custom persisted even longer
in England. In that country the new
style calendar was not adopted until
1851, although Scotland adopted it in
1899 and Holland first Of all, in 1882.
Dates in the Ecclesiastical History"
of the Venerable Bede were more con-
fusing than they are before Doctor
Poole, the England scholar. explained
that that he used the Greek Induction,
beginning September l. The Easter
cycle calculations of DioEysius became
the Roman Catholic, but other tables
than his were earlier USED in Rome.

plication for renewal of chauffeur's
licenses is filed during the month of
November, the fee is only 81 and no
examination is required. If the ap-
plication is not made before the first
of December, however, an additional
charge of 81 as penalty is required
by law.

to waive the penalty" said Mr.. Holm,
so we trust that chauffeurs will
send in their applications for renew
al during the month of November
and thereby avoid the increased cost
to themselves"
Application blanks for renewals
were sent to all licensed chauffers
before November 1. Many were re-
turned because the licensee evidently
moved to a new address without re-
porting to the department. Any
chauffeur who has not received his
application blank should write i'm
mediately to Mike Holm, secretary
of state, St. Paul, and the required
blank will be supplied.

NEGRO SCORED GAINS By
BREAKING WITH
REPUBLICANS

New York, Nov. 28-(CNA)-Com
plete election returns showing cleo
ton of II Negroes to the legisla-
lures of nine states show that the
defeat of the reactionary, anti
Negro Hearst-Liberty League Repub-
lican party coalition was not the
only gain derived by the Negro
through his break with the tradi-
ton of slavish group loyalty to the
G. o. P.
With the reelection to Congress of
Representative Arthur w. Mitchell,
of Chicago, who again will be the
only Negro there and on a self-prc-
claimed basis of representing only
his constituents, most of whom IN
white, and not the aspirations of
the Negro people, eighteen Negroes
were successful at the polls In their
bid for legislative seats.
Pennsylvania leads with the larg-
est number elected. In that state,
five Negro Democrats were elected
to the Pennsylvania lower house,
four from Philadelphia. The Rev.
Marshall L. Shapard, who has a mill
tant and progressive record, was re-
elected. He managed the Democratic
campaign among Negroes in Eastern
Pennsylvania.
Illinois a second with the cleo
ton of four to the State Legisla-
ture. All four are Republicans, al
though most of the Negro vote in
the state, outside of Chicago, was
cast for President Roosevelt. The
four are Charles Jenkins, Richard
Hardwood, Ernest Greene and Viii
liam Warfield.
Winning against a white opponent,
John Adams, Jr., Omaha lawyer,
was elected to the unicameral Legiss
lature in Nebraska. Three-fourths of
those who voted for him were white,
and he received the largest vote of
any one of the forty-three winning
candidates.
In Kansas, William Towers, assist
ant city attorney, was elected OH

strongly condemns the ordinance
amendment allowing sale of 30 beer
in the House of God.
It's recent adoption of the amend

ing churches to sell beer In the
House of God has brought righteous
indignation from most OF the

full and irreligious ordinance ever
passed by an aldermanic body.

fight to obtain a repeal OF the

Race Repudiated Mitchell
In the First Congressional District
of Illinois, Representative Mitchell
was r%epudiated by the majority OF
Negro voters, but was reelected
when he carried all of the white
wards in the district. Mitchell was
opposed by Oscar DePriest, former
Representative from the district, and
Harry Haywood, Communist candi-
date: In their opposition to Mitchell,
the majority of South Side voters
cast their votes for DePrics1 and
Governor L,andon.
In Pennsylvania more than sixty
per cent of the 100000 Negro votes
were cast for Roosevelt. In some
other states, like New York, Con-
necticut, etc., the percentage Tor the
New Deal" was even greater.
In the South, the few Negroes who
have the franchise voted almost
unanimously for Roosevelt, in the
hope that they will be benefited
under the social security program
promised by the President. They
also voted to defeat Southern arch
reactionaries who had broken across
party lines to ally themselves with
the Hearst-Liberty League-Landon
forces.
