his friends, especially those to whom
he had given temporarily post office
appointments, because he left them
without having their positions con-
firmed and in spite of the fact that
he never had given any considera-
ton to the people of this congress
sional district but had spent all his
time supporting his private pension
schemes-not the Townsend plan,
thank you-he fused up the Town
send plan for his own private glory
every time it was to be worked for
he turned traitor to the Townsend

Now he comes out for office with
a platform of being 1000 for every
thing which he thinks might get
him few votes and 1000 for any
thing that will defeat President
Roosevelt. And he is making the old
people of the state finance his cam

And yet my friends he will get
votes and every vote he gets is one

serving of Lincoln county votes,
Senator James E. Murray.

who have heard Senator Murray

the Townsend plan more good work
than Monaghan ever could or will.

Edon Schuck
For Clerk and Recorder

For County Clerk and Recorder
we offer Eldon Schuck Of Eureka.
This young man was raised and
schooled in Lincoln county and has
host of friends who are wishing
him well in this, his first venture
in seeking public office. He is clean
cut and capable and will come to
the office with experience in book
keeping and accounting sufficient to
make his conduct of the affairs of
the clerks office highly efficient.
He is courteous, friendly and nice
fellow to get along with He has
had experience meeting the public,
having been employed in mercan-
tile establishment in the city of Eu-
reka and we feel sure that upon
acquaintance you will all like him.
BY those in the know, it is consid-
cred that Eldon has the stiffest COM
petition Of any man on the ticket.
His opponent comes from the same
locality and it will be interesting to
note how the good people Of that
section line UP with their votes.
However, observation from this
office leads us to believe that Eldon
is the favorite son in his own bali
wick where he is best known and
we suggest that the rest of the coun-
ty use that as their barometer when
making their decision. When ones
own neighbors think well Of per-
son 1t is powerful good recon-
mendatien and as he is the only Eu-
reka man on our ticket, let us give
him grand big majority.

has been friend to the taxpayers.
In the depression times when no one
had job, he lowered valuations; he
and his deputies gave cut in their
salary: he has paid his own expenses
and at times actually received
lower conversation than his depu-
ties did: all this with but one
thought in mind, to tighten your tax
burdens. Friends, you can not over
look service such as this and we ask
you on election day to remember
and put cross in front of the name
of John c. Friend for assessor. Ev-
cry taxpayer in Lincoln county
needs a continuance of his services.

Reviewing the acts and results had
Turing the Roosevelt administration
eads the thinking person to tirmly
believe that a great number OF good
hings have been accomplished and
hat a continuance Of the present
administration in power is absolute
y necessary if this country is to en-
ioy material prosperity to the full
ness to which we all feel we are en-
titled.
Many things have been done that
benefits directly the laboring man
and the small business man. Yet, the
Republicans, in their literature and
by word of mouth from the plat
form and otherwise, claim that all
these things are wrong. Let's look
over the record little and see what
they think is SO wrong:
A bank act was passed insuring
the deposits of those with up to
$5.OOOOO ON deposit Governor Lam
don says, and we quote In my
judgment the guaranty of bank de-
posts will completely destroy the
entire banking system of the ma
ton. That destruction must newt
ably be accompanied or followed by
the most extreme initiation of the
currency. When the final day of
reckoning comes there will be no fl
nancial structure whatsoever to
which to turn. There is no ques-
ton in my mind but that the guar
anty Of bank deposits is greater
blow to the ultimate welfare of the
American people than the widest
initiation of the currency could pos
sibly be" That quotation is taken
from the Congressional record. AS
Congressman Ayers 50 aptly put it,
this law keeps the bankers of Wall
street from funneling the funds Of
the little depositors in Montana
down to New York for worthless
securities and keeping them there.
In the period of twelve years OF Re-
publican rule before this law went
into effect 254 banks in Montana
went under with savings and de-
posts Of the people of Montana
amounting to over Afty nine million

For Clerk Of the District Court

Fred F. Clark, genial efficient and
accommodating, a gentleman of the
old school, is another of our candi-
dates conceded reelection by all
possible opponents. Mr.. Clark has
served as clerk of the court, well
and long. Probably has never made
an enemy and has given such serv-
ice that complaint has never been
made on his work. He is educated
as lawyer and has the attainments
necessary for a full knowledge of
the workings of this office. We be-
speak for him continuance of his

This is situation to be deplored
and especially in Lincoln County.
Senator Murray has been practically
the only friend that Lincoln county
has ever had in high places. True,
others have expressed friendship,
but Senator Murray has shown by
his works that his friendship was
genuine. Through his efforts this
county has received in Federal and
state allotments for public buildings
and roads and streets, more thar one
half million dollars during the past
two years. He is the only man who
has ever gotten us anything. He is
now the only man in position to get
us more and If he is reelected we
are satisfied that he will continue
to work for our good up in this cor
ner of the state AT the present time
he is working for grant to build
new wing for the high school at
Libby. He is working for the fed
eralization of the road from here to
Eureka with bridge across the
river at Warland and the building
of modern oiled highway through
This section. He is working for these
things now and If his success In
getting the other things he lid for
this county is any sign, he will sue
coed in getting them for us | think
YOU remember what he has done for
this county but if you don't YOUR
minds can be refreshed briefly. You

primaries by substantial majority
but after weeping around for few
weeks announced that every cleo

dollars and they will never get all
their money back. Now, during the
period this law has been in effect,
one Montana bank has been closed
with deposits of but 100000 and
within ten days all the depositors
had their money. Does that sound
wrong2 No, my friends, ask anybody
who has experienced the closing of a
bank and they must agree that this
is one of the greatest acts ever put
on the books.
The Federal Housing Act saved
over one million homes from fore
closure and loss to the home owner.
The banks would not let you have
the money to renew your mortgage.
There was no place to get it. Then
our government came to our aid.
Was that wrong?
Interest on farmers loans was cut
to make them saving of over twen-
ty million dollars annually. Was
that wrong
The c. C. c. was organized, taking
two million boys and young men off
the streets and giving them chance
to develop into honest citizens and
aid their dependents. Was that
wrong?
Unemployment relief; the Social
security act; the railway pension act;
the National Labor Relations act;
are all these things wrong2
No, my friends, they are not all
wrong and we know it. We surely do
not want to 60 back to three d~ys
work per week with two weeks

nothing. back to insecurity for wage
earners. back to bread lines in re-
lief. The farmer does not wish to
60 back to Is cent wheat, 6 cent cot

does not wish to 60 back to q cent
silver and cent lead and ii the
business men and bankers would
but admit it, they do not want to 60
back to where the producers have
no money to spend. No, regardless
of what the republicans say. the
rank and file Of the party do not
want to go back to the days OF
Hoover.

Frank r. Baney
For Sheriff

In many years past Frank Baney
has come into the home stretch for
the sheriff's office without opposi-
ton. But this year he has opposi-
ton for the general election. A nice
defeated in the primaries has been
led astray by poor advice, apparent
Iy, and is running for this office as
an independent. We hope it was poor
advice that caused him to do this,
not wishing to think that it was an
other case Of not being able to take
it on the chin when the voters said
no at the primaries.
Therefore again we are hearing
the same old argument against the
reelection of Frank Baney, THAT
He has Had the Job Long Enough
And honest to goodness that is the
only thing ever brought up against
Frank Baney in his long public life.
Before voting on November 3rd
we ask you to consider these things:
That the duties of sheriff can only
be learned through actual expert
ence along with actual ability. And
that this experience is acquired at
the expense of the taxpayers
Then just look back and remem-
Der the service that this officer has
given us during his long term in
office. You old timers will remem-
Der when Frank walked into shot
and she'll in the performance of his
duty, and how he laid at deaths door
for weeks, and from the wounds he
has never fully recovered. You can
remember back when Frank has
taken the worst Of 1t many times in
his efforts to make this county safe
place to live In Think of these
things and then wonder why we
should at this time discharge an Of
ficer because he has been good; de-
eide In what way would the tax
payers and voters actually benefit
by change In the sheriffs office.

ficiency and economy in the sheriffs

terms but of wealth in the wider terms to give them

For most of us, the coroner is the

anxious to have business dealings.
However, it is necessary to have
coroner in each county and we feel
that in our Democratic candidate for
Lincoln county we are offering the
tops. One noted and liked for her
sympathetic kindness and under
standing and we'll qualified for the
work.
This gracious lady has performed
her work SO well and given such
satisfaction during her years in this

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-WaIl
Street today showed unusual inter-
est in the 1885 statement OF the
Sun Oil Co. because it was the first
complete annual exhibit to be is
sued by a major petroleum unit and
tended to confirm reports that the
industry as whole had Jared we'll

Most significant is the fact that
the company's income of $7.100 ,239.
after all charges, was the best since
1890. when it had balance of
ST 450, 484 applicable to dividends.
For 1884 Sun Oil reported earn
ings of $3.50, 464, equal to 1881
share on the common. The per-
share net last year was lower, but
mora stock was outstanding.
Oil Shares Retain Favor
That oil shares are popular with
the trading public at the present
time is indicated by what has been
