a previous election, the people start
ed cleaning house by the election of
Chief Justice Sands and Associate
Justice Angstman, both liberal mind
ed and able jurists, The demise of
Chief Justice Sands was most unfor-
tunate and was keenly felt by all
liberal-minded groups. However, at
this election there is a splendid OPP
portunity of capturing control of the
Montana Supreme Court by the cleo
ton of two LIBERAL and PRO
GRESSIVE candidates. Philip o.
Donnell is a practicing attorney of
Butte who was very active in the
campaign two years ago for the eight
hour constitutional amendment. AT
his wv expense, he waged an ac-
tive campaign throughout the west
ern district of the state.
Left Erickson is the present coun-
ty attorney of Richland county. He
came to the Sidney community with
his family twenty years ago. He
attended the Sidney high school and
is a graduate of that school. MIR.
Erickson took his Bachelor of Phil
osophy and Doctor of Law degrees
from the University of Chicago. In
common with many other Montana
boys, he worked his way through
college and law school. Mr.. Erick-
sons educational background is ex-
ceptionally fine, as he is one of
very few lawyers in Montana who
have the degree of Doctor of Law.
During his active practice of law in
Sidney he has built up a very large
practice. He has been active in
civic, farm and labor groups and is
a leader in the promotion of irriga-
tea extension in eastern Montana.
The two incumbents, who are
about to be retired, are too well
known to the people of the state to
merit any support. In a recent inter

Acknowledgements Jerry
O'Connell stated today that many
inquiries had been received by him
regarding an advertisement pub
lished recently by DR.. Jacob Thor
kelson of what purported to be a
photostatic copy of Thorkelson's
citizenship papers.
Those writing O'Connell, pointed
out that something appeared amiss
with the document in question, in
that the word America" was mis-
spelled, and that it appeared on the
photostatic copy as America"
Doubt was expressed by many hat
the government would make use OF
such important forms as %naturaliza-
ton papers in which there would
be misspelling of the United States
of America.
O'Connell advised interested con-
stituents that he was forwarding
their letters to the Bureau of Immi.

were already making an investiga-
ton of Thorkelson's citizenship

Kennedy Shows Fatts
and Figures Against
T~horkeIson

HELENA.-An amazing situation
was brought to light here this week
when interested parties checked
claims in the office of the State
Board of Examiners and found that
huge sums had been paid to DR..
Thorkelson under the old relief set
up.
Thousands and thousands of dol
lars which could have been used to
better advantage in taking care of
Montana's poor were paid to DR..
Jacob Thorkelson out of these funds.
The following claims in the
amount stated were approved and
paid to DIR. Thorkelson: Aug. 81,
1884, 1888; Oct. %, 1884, $172; Nov.
IA, 1884, $265; Nov. IA, 1884, STA;
Dec. 4, 1884, 1920; Dec. 81, 1894,
$44S so; Feb. l, 1885, $578; March 6,
1885, $772.5O; March 7, 1885, $115.50;
March II, 1885, $685.; May "a, 1885,
$4O7; April 6, 1885, 1854. These are
only a small number Of the claims
paid to DR.. Thorkelson for medical
services to the poor people of Butte.
In addition these figures represent
only some of the claims paid Thor
kelson. Thousands of dollars OF
claims which the state board found
too rank to honor were turned down.
These records are available in the
state capitol to anyone interested in
checking them.
Look at the figures for the month
of March in 1885. Do you think that
DR.. Thorkelson could have rendered
services to have entitled him to
Sl,563 in one month for the relief
fund? Perhaps this is why the many
good practicing physicians of Butte
resent this medical charlatan traip-
sing over the western end of the
state trying to garner votes on the
basis of being a medical mar who
has always been interested in the
poor.

Montana labor news., 1938-11-03

James A. Farley, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, adj
vised Jerry j., O'Connell today that
because it was difficult to get news
dispatches in some of the controlled
papers of Montana he had written
to all Democratic precinct workers
in the First congressional district
urging the reelection of O'Connell
to Congress. Farley's letter to pre-
cinct workers dated October 25th,
reads in part as follows;
Each of the candidates you have
nominated in your state is fully
capable of creditably fulfilling the
duties of the office he seeks and
rightly deserves the entire support
of the party. l refer specifically to
Jerry j. O'Connell, your nominee
for Congress from the First con-
gressional district"
A few weeks ago Farley issued a
denial of a news cast carried on
western Montana radio stations to
the effect that he was not support
ing O'Connell for reelection. Far
ley stated this was not true and that
he was 100 per cent for O'Connells
reelection.

for the next two years, at least.
Heading the ticket is a young
man who is noted for his agrees
siveness. He has incurred the
enmity of all the big corporate
forces in the state for his cour-
ageus fight in behalf of the wage
Garner and taxpayer. The cor
porations and their press ganged
up on him in the primaries, and de-
spite the most vicious and dirtiest
campaign in history, Jerry O'Con-
nell emerged the victor. The cleo
torate had long ago come to the con-
clusion, that anyone who received
the attack of the company press,

Candidate for Reelection.

Again in the coming general cleo
ton they have strengthened their
forces by enlisting disgruntled and
disappointed office seekers from
O'Connell's own party.
Before the election of O'Connell
to the public service and railroad
commission of Montana, and also to
the position of congressman, these
two offices were practically I'M
known to the average voter. But
O'Connell Immediately began to
make them function for the purpose
for which they were created. His
efforts as railroad commissioner
made an appreciable saving to the
users of water, gas and light.
Again as congressman, he stood
squarely behind the efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who was determined
to take the country away from mon
opolistic control and give it back
to the people, to whom it rightfully
belonged.
For this activity, the corporate
powers of the state of Montana are
determined that Jerry O'Connell
shall not be reelected. They have
trotted out, as an opponent, a re-
dictionary nonenity, who seems
somewhat dazed by the unlimited
amount of publicity he has so far
received at the hands of the cor-
poration press of the state. His cam
paign talks have an astounding
similarity to those which Jerry's
opponent used in the primary cleo
ton. In fact, there is no doubt in
anyone's mind that they were writ
ten by the same person. The con-
test between O'Connell and his
opponent, as one wag put it, is a
contest between "the NEW deal and
the NUDE deal"

Editor Montana Labor News:
The Hudson County Teachers
Union, Local SIS, A. F. of T., urges
the people of Montana to return
Jerry O'Connell to the House of
Representatives with a tremendous
vote of confidence in his ability and
sincerity to further the cause of
labor and democracy in these United
States.
Contrary to reports appearing in
the controlled press, the people of
Jersey City look upon Jerry O'Con-
nell as a Daniel who bearded the
lion in his own den. We consider
Jerry as n of our own and some
day soon we hope to have him with
us again.
We endorsed and supported Jerry's
stand against the suppression of
civil liberties and democratic rights
for which our forefathers fought and
died. Jerry did a marvellous job in
consolidating the progressive forces
in Jersey City for a united attack
against the dictatorship of Hague.
Montanal The progressive forces
in Jersey City demand that you adj
minister a sound thrashing to Frank
Hague by sending Jerry O'Connell
back to Congress to put the finishing
touches on a decadent and corrupt
machine.
