Oscar is not new to the office
of sheriff and knows how to run
that office-for back in 1920, he
was elected sheriff by the Non
partisan League, though a Social
ist, on the Democratic ticket. In
1916 Mr.. Collins had made a very
fine showing as candidate on the
Socialist ticket.
Collins was sheriff during 1921
and 1922, but did not seek reelec-
ton to that office that Fall, but
ran for the nomination for Con-
gress on the Republican ticket
with the Nonpartisan League en-
dorsement, coming within a few
hundred votes of defeating Scott
Leavitt for the nomination. He
was afterwards deputy sheriff un-
der Rodney Salisbury for several
months when he was appointed on
the border patrol.
After this Mr.. Collins served as
chief of police of Plentywood fol-
four years. He is an ex-service-
man, a Spanish-American wal
veteran, and has been a resident Of
Sheridan county for a quarter Of
a century.
Mr.. Collins, no doubt, will be {
very formidable candidate.

ITALIAN ARMY WEAKENING
WRITES VAN PAASSEN

"Badoglio is trying to catch mice with
sledge hammer writes Pierre Van Paas-
sen in the May number of '"The Fight" a
monthly publication of the American
League Against War and Fascism. Van
Paassen, who has been in Ethiopia three
times since the opening of hostilities in
Ethiopia, knows the difficulties with which
the fascist troops are faced.
Not only is it untrue that the Ethiopian
forces have been smashed by II Duce's
armies in East Africa, but it is the Italians
who are desperate, writes the noted Amer
lean foreign correspondent. The Italian
army has been sending exaggerated com
muniques to Rome, and Rome has added
even more to the mixture, Van Paassen
writes, and the outside world is already
convinced that it is no more than matter
of hours before MussOlini himself will ap-
pear in Adds Ababa to take it over in the
name of the Roman legiOns.
''Italy's gold reserve is dWindling SO
fast that British financial experts give the
Duce's capacity to fight at the utmost two
or three months more. That is the reason
Badoglio's sortie from Makale in February
was followed by organized rejoicing in
Italy and why every little skirmish of pa
trolls in Ethiopia is worked up to "a smash
ing victory and every hazardous straight
ening of the Italian line is made to appear
as the crushing of one more Abyssinian
army"

BATTLE LOOMS

The drums giving the signal for
the great march in the coming DO
ht1cal campaign in Sheridan coun-
ty, were beaten this week with the
filing by Oscar Collins of Plenty
wood of his petition for the nonHi-
nation of sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket.
Following this sounding of the
war tocsins, it is expected that
there will be a rush of filing in
the near future, as the regiment
OF anticipated candidates fall into
the march for glory and monthly
pay check, which is not to be
disparaged in these times.
From all indications there will
be plenty of candidates for nomi-
nation for all the county Offices
not SO many places now since the
consolidation-on both old party
tickets.
The fusion of the republicans
and democrats against the "reds'
is thing of the past in Sheridan
county-now that the senile and
corpulent daughters of the Revo-
luton have designated most of the
democratic leaders as dangerous
and subversive reds" The demo
Gratis and republicans will go to
bat this year in earnest, and that
will not be all-there will be &

the field, behind which will bt

the erstwhile warning radical anC
progressive groups, behind a set
of candidates to be picked at the
mass Farmer Labor convention
which will be called sometime il
July. And in a three cornereC
fight, the Libertyite, Socialist
Communist, Farmer-Labor forces
united may easily triumph.
It's going to be horse race thu

The present bridge supports will be

the bridge will be made as wide as DOS

upstream side and, If possible, on the
downstream side as we'll, although the
plans at present provide for but one
sidewalk. In response to questions,
White stated that, in his opinion, it
would be unwise for the association to
campaign for a high-level bridge at
