AII-Siar Card for Butte
Wrestling Fans Next
Monday, March 2Ofh

The main event will see two most
fast and clever grapplers in the
game today. Otto (Madman) Lud-
wig will have a tough assignment
when he meets the handsome Dandy
Dizzy Davis, who a take it as we'll
as dish it out. This should prove a
mat sensation.
The semi-final brings Pat
O'Dowdy, the Portland villain, whose
rough tactics won him the name of
Ruffian, against Bob Cummings.
Bob is a clean, scientific wrestler
and a great favorite here. Bob will
have to watch his opponent closely
so as he doesn't get away with any
thing that isn't allowed, but Bob
has shown the fans he can take care
of himself. This will be a great
bout and should please all fans.
The opener will show Gus John
son, the mighty Swede of Seattle,
whose title fits him as he has proven
his ability to be tough and mighty,
against Benny Wilson, the Texas
flash who wrestles clean but just
won't take too much abuse.
These are three high-class bouts
and should e a large attendance
of Butte's mat fans. There will be
a treat in store for everyone as Joe
Stoner will referee the bouts.

Mdadden Spent
Most Of Life in
Mines in Butte

One of the most popular candi-
dates for police judge is Fred Nc
Fadden, who is not a miner in name
but an actual miner who has spent
40 years underground. Mr. McFad-
den's life and activities extend back
to the old period of the Miners I'm
ion to all of its struggles and trials.
He saw the birth of many of the
mines of Butte and grew up with
them. In all of these years which
he has spent in producing wealth
for the community and the nation
he has not once sought any reward
at the hands of the taxpayers. His
many friends feel that he is entitled
to the office which he seeks.
Mr.. McFadden is married and is
the father of seven children. He is
highly respected not only in union
headquarters but with the general
ity of the people in Silver Bow
county.

MULH0LLAND
SHOULD Be ELECTED
MAYOR OF BUTTE

Senator Mulholland, Democratic
nominee for mayor at the coming
city election, has a record as alder
man, member Of the House of Rep
resentatives and state senator from
Silver Bow county that any man
should be proud of. He has at all
times worked and voted for all
measures beneficial to the working
class, and their loyalty and support
should assure him of election by a
very large majority.
Mike, as his friends all call him,
was the sponsor of the bill that gave
the city of Butte one-half of all
automobile license money paid by
residents of the city. This to date
has amounted in round figures to
the sum of $219, 264. 43-and has en-
abled the city of Butte to have the
finances to purchase materials for
oiling the streets, and all other WPA
projects sponsored by the city, which
is indeed a very large contribution
to the city and its taxpayers.
He took an active part in the
teachers retirement bill, and all
other pension bills, for the benefit
of the poor and the needy, and was
also an ardent advocate and sup
porter of Roosevelt and the New
Deal.

AIdermanit
Candidate, a Native
OF Silver Bow County

Edward ]. Lowney, Republican
candidate for alderman from the
Seventh Ward, is one of the few
men aspiring to office in the city
election who is a native of this COM
munity, having been born in Butte
June 5th, 1899. His father was
killed in the Gagnon mine June 21st,
1907. MI. Lowney early became con-
nected with organized labor, his first
experience being with the Brother
hood of Clerks and Freight Hand
lers, which union he joined in 1914
while working at the Northern Pa
cific freight house. Later on he be-
came a member of the Butte Team
sters. Between 1919 and 1929, he
was employed at the Elm Orlu mine.
Shortly after R~oosevelt's election he
was an officer Of the Tannery Work
ers Union during the time the plant
was in operation on South Montana
street.
In connection with political affairs,
Mr.. Lowney gives this pledge to the
people of his ward: That he will
always be available to all residents
of the Seventh Ward at all times
and that he realizes he is their en-
ployee and not their employer. His
slogan is, "a Southsider for South
side Interests"

the CLIO proposal does not offer any
possible solution to the problems

not even designed for serious con-
sideration.
1T should be obvious that the
only way to obtain peace is for both
sides to get down to consideration
of the facts in a realistic way and
then negotiate a settlement. Nothing
can be accomplished by the issuance
of fanciful statements for headline
purposes. In the hope Of finding a
peaceful solution of the problems

 Are Assailed As 'Perjurers"

wrong with the bill. If they hadn't had the assistance of those gentle- ment to get it through, they would not have had it. And after it went through under suspension of rules, they were paid. MT. Leary gave them $12,000 to which they were en- titled. The work continued during the rest of the session. And which ever way they wanted, 1t went. The boys were the best in the business, and would they have accepted half cash of check? They were in a legitimate business; they were the best In the business, couldn't do business without them. And they got the money.
 MT. Williamson says so over again, very emphatically. He gave Mac kenzie some because Mackenzie was working with him. That was the agreement, but not Dan Leary. Why did he change the story I'll come to that later.
 Looking For It
 Let's get to 1887. In 1887 Mac- kenzie called Williamson, according to his story, and said, Lets go over to Waterbur They may need some more help" They were look ing for 1t. They came for 1t. Now If they had only been receiving half of what the checks called for, they wouldn't have come looking for MT. Leary If they were being treated in that manner. They could sit back and look the wrong way, and if Waterbury wanted any legislation it would have to come to them. But they came to WI terbury and they got the job md got a retainer of $5,000. Again they did their work well and again they got paid for 1t and it considered well-paid. regarding the situation.
 Now, that meeting in Danbury, December of 1887 They had a short discussion about the situa tion and the conference was over. During the early part of 1888, Williamson

of guilt. But that statement in it. self has no force.
 Another assumption in this case is the automobile ride which was taken by Leary and Alderman some time in the spring of 1888. Well, 1t seems that MT. Leary and MT. Al- derman went on an automobile ride so as to insure privacy. Well, MT. Alderman testified that on that ride they talked about Leary's private affairs. No matter what hey alked about, whether they talked about this political mess in Waterbury which at that time had been entire. ly disseminated by all newspapers and radio stations in Waterbury, it has no force whatever. Any man may have a private talk with any, body. Nothing wrong in tht.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-04
Purcell Covered up His Own Mistake Attorney Watehoe

disclosed that Mackenzie wrnted to see him and finally when he refused to see Mackenzie, Mackenzie went to see him and they we're discussing this way out and that way out. He was interested in the tax work. Of course, he was interested. He also knew that you can't just walk out by paying the tax. There is criminal liability. After they had been looking at 1t long enough, he figures this was the best way out. He figured 1t was cheaper to sell his soul down the river of perjury, ladies and gentle men, than 1t was for him to pay his taxes.
 Right and Wrong
 Now, they accuse us of something horrible-charging items to what they considered was the wrong ap- propriations. All right. What is the right appropriation2 What is the wrong appropria tion? I don't know. Appropriations are broken down and you can't break them down to the extent that you will have specific appropriation for every item that may come up during the year. Try to make budget. Try to break it down. You've got to put down something. There is no indication that you didn't get what you paid for-no evidence of that at all. The work was done and the purpose of the work in general should govern the appropriation to which it is charged. You will remember Mir. Nelson, the accountant on the stand, was asked whether or not an item properly used was charged to inter- est on floating debt. You remember his answer which was the only sen- sible answer you can give. It doesn't make any difference to whom 8 check was paid or when it was paid so far as charging the appropriation was concerned.
 The welfare board knew that the street department had been charged for lot of work which otherwise would have had to be paid for by the board of welfare. It would have been charged to them.
 Then, we come to the warrants payable sheets. If there was any attempt to hid what was on those sheets, so far as anything to be put on afterward, why was the ac- tual date on 1t? The only al. rect evidence, If you want to put
