Stuart Hazlett Candidate For Reelection

individuals received copies of the
letter, heard about it about 800 p.
m. that same day but I did not re-
ceive the official copy until Tues
day the 18th, although it was ad-
dressed to myself as chairman and
to the members of the Council In
the meantime, the letter had been
mimeographed and scattered broad
cast-the mimeographing was done
here in Browning.
The letter circularized and sent
broadcast, the local paper printed it
at my personal request and he
broke no vows, the Pioneer Press
(Cut Bank) and the Kalispell Tim
es printed a synopsis with no COM
ment on the letter. The Associated
Press, true to traditions ignored it
entirely while the U. P. had a four
or five line squib way down in the
corner of an inside page. The other
Montana newspaper creed, refused
as much to mention or refer to it
our Montana editors still believe in
impartiality and fairness to all and
money or political prestige cannot
buy them off.
In the last paragraph of the let
ter, the writer states that II am
sending a copy of this letter to each
member of the Council" This has
never been done only two members
of the Council excepting myself re-
ceived a copy and one of two had
to ask for his copy. One can readily
see the unfairnesS of the whole pro-
ceedings.
Further, to show the deliberate
or questionable actions of Washing
ton, the assertion is made in the let
ter that my bond as chairman had
been cancelled. My bond has never
been cancelled at any time. see
no reason why official Washington
should deliberately and intention
ally dishout the truth and misrepre-
sentation of facts. 1t is plain to be
seen that Washington is determined
to interfere in our tribal political
affairs and this is what l resent It
explains why I finally determined
to throw my hat in the ring, some
one must fight this insidious pro-
gram and it just as well be as
any one else.

At this very moment several

INJURED to the others. Then one Of
the little snow birds spoke. Have
you forgotten that every year they
come to cut Christmas trees?"
what are Christmas trees?" the
little fir asked.
"Oh, they cut down the trees and
take them in the house, and put
candles on them so they look like
stars, and spangles that look like
snow shining in the moonlight. And
the people sing songs and give each
other gifts, and it is time of being
glad" the little snow bird twittered.
"Oh, wish they would take me-"
the little tree cried in excitement.
''Td love to see it all. I'd love to
make people happy. But I'm too
little" and he sighed unhappily.
Ssh! Let's all be quiet" one of
the tall trees exclaimed. 1.-THE
woodsmen are coming near us. We
must be quiet SO they won't notice
US. Then we won't be cut down and
left to die"
But in spite of their silence, the
men drew near. They looked at the
trees, and one of them said: "Oh,
these are all too tall. No house or
church could hold them. Let's get
on"
Just then little lad who was
riding in the sled, called to his ia

Here I am, here I am! come

and saw the branches trembling
and the little snow bird flying away

HERE was very little sunlight

The little fir tree stretched himself,
and tried to imagine himself as full

to the big trees talk. isn't the
moon bright tonight" one would
say; and there would be a gentle
rustling of their leaves as the trees
would shake their heads in agree

"Tm afraid you're going to be

the fir one day as he jumped into
its branches and brushed the top
limbs with his bushy tail. 1T takes

up toward the spot of sunlight he
saw clear up through the maze Of
heavy tree growth. He could be
straight and outstanding, even if he
hadn't grown tall.
Today the ground was all covered
with the snow which stayed white
in the forest. All but few birds
had gone south. Every once in
while there was the sound of stee
striking against wood, and infre
quently a crashing sound of falling
trees.

strung across the streets. She told
herself it must be the Christmas
feeling in the air that made her do
this daring thing. 1t was utterly
ridiculous to dress up like a great
lady, but one had to be different at
Christmas. And life had been pretty
dull for Betty since she had to &C.
cept the work she was doing. 1t Of
fered very little inspiration.
The story of the opera took her
back to a medieval world. In few
moments she was completely lost in
its atmosphere, so much so that
she failed to notice that the man
seated at her right was sending ad-
miring glances in her direction.
When the curtain went up, he leaned
over and spoke.
II love this" he said simply.
II do, too" Betty answered, with
little catch in her voice. 1t seemed
incredible that he was speaking to
her. He was really acting as if she
belonged. By the time the curtain
went up again they were calling
each other Prince and Princess:
taking the names Of the two leading
characters on the stage.
AS the great drama moved to its
close Betty tried to hurry away. She
didn't want her Prince to find out
what an impostor she was. But he
had taken hold of her arm.
Couldn't we 60 and have some COT
fee?" he suggested. Il know I'm
a stranger to you. but-but it's
Christmas-and-"
81 should say mo-" Betty told
herself. II should even tell him
the truth about myself" Instead,
she accompanied him to the coffee
shop across the street. She couldn't
deny herself this one hour of happi-
ness. After it was over, well-Bet-
ty would not let her thoughts 60 fur
| Their.
She almost forgot that she was
| playing a part as they sat together.
They seemed to have so much in
common. He had read widely-the
type of books she liked; he took
an interest in SO many things she
liked; seemed to be as romantic
and visionary as herself. But he
spoke no word to indicate that he
wanted to see her again. She had
been foolish to expect it.
Gloom enveloped the world for
Betty next morning. As if to add
to her humiliation and misery, q
clogged-up drain was sending oozy
brown water back into the sink. Her
feet dragged across the floor as she
answered the plumbers knock.
Then the world spun dizzily
around her for moment. A rush
of joy, of wonder, lifted her heart.
Her Prince was standing In the
doorway, his evening clothes re-
placed by clean blue overalls, his
good-looking face wrinkled in Devil.
