The Wheeler-Ayers Political Ma

has engineered through one bill
= and will engineer through another
along the same lines, giving the
Governor of Montana power to dis
miss from service any appointiVe
officers of the state or any subor-
dinates of such officers. This IS
the most subversive attack on the
principles of independent demo
cratic government in Montana that
has ever been made on the repre-
sentative government Of any state
| in the American Union. This gives
to Ayers and Wheeler, who seems
to be the dictator of Ayers poll
cies, mere power than Mussollm
enioys in Italy or than Hitler en-
lows in Germany. One of these
bills has already been put through
without any noise or headlines and
the other one will be put through
in several days.

seem to be completely ignorant as

to do this means. To get just sucf

was so ambitious to be the COVER
nor Of the Treasure State: why |
he was so anxious to abandon
sure reelection the Representa-
tive in Congress from the Second
Montana Congressional district,
with a salary of $4,000 per year,
to enter the fierce and doubtful!
campaign for the Governorship OF
Montana at only $500 per year.
And when elected and inaugur-
ated governor of this state on the
4th day of January last, it was
the very foundation of the idea OF
bringing the father, old pioneer
George Ayers, long resident OF the
territory of Montana when Roy
was born, to the capitol and APP
pointing him deputy clerk OF the
supreme court so that he could
administer the oath of office TO
Roy, as a sort of distinction and
honor to him by way of having
begotten such an outstanding and
able son some where near Grass
Range within the confines OF
what is now the state of Montana.
It was because of this assumption,
that r. Don Aver, office holder
at Washington, son of the Cover
nor. was appointed by the COVER
nor. to represent him at President
Roosevelt's inauguration.
But it seems that the whole
matter is just a pure and unadul.
tered political myth spun out or
frog fur, for the entertainment or
the credulous folk of Montana, as
is so much of the propaganda that
our native SOM" governor Is
wont to fabricate for use In his
activities.

State of Oregon and migrated
with his father and mother t.

Decision Delayed
On Bankrupt Act

FRESNO, Cal, Nov. 8 up
Federal Judge Leon Yankwich to-
day delayed his decision on the
constitutionality of the Federal
Municipal Bankruptcy act pending
further study of attorneys argu-
ments.
The attack on the constitution
ality of the law was brought by
bondholders of the Tulare county
Strathmore Lindsay Irrigation
district on the grounds the bank
ruptcy act is an interference with
state rights.
Through Attorney w. Coburn
Cook, of Turlock, the bondholders
i, declared that an irrigation dis
Gtrict is a governmental agency of
? the state and therefore not subject
to the bankruptcy power of con-
gress, since the constitution of the
United States has not delegated to
the federal government the power
to subject state governments or
their agents to federal bankruptcy
laws.
