Som c. Ford Offers
Sound Government

Pledging that if elected he will
'clean up" the capitol, crush the
present political machine and drive
racketeers from our State govern
ment, Sam c. Ford, outstanding Re-
publican candidate, opened his cam
paign last week with an address IN
Toole county. In a fighting speech,
Ford reiterated his stand that only
by sound and honest administra-
ton can this States problems be
solved.
Sam c. Ford has had a notable
career in public life in the state OF
Montana, starting with his arrival
in Helena in 1906. Judge Ford gained
his education the hard way, by work
ing and making his own way
through the University of Kansas
Law School, and upon graduation
came to Montana to practice law.
In 1910 he was married to Mary
Leslie Shobe, and they have fam
lily of four daughters. Judge Ford
was elected Attorney General and
held office during the period OF the
World War, serving the state and
its citizens well by keeping calm
head when the country was going
through a crisis period. Later he
served with distinction as Associ-
ate Justice of the Montana Supreme
Court, where his judicial opinions
are models of liberal Interpretation
of the law. An exponent of the
doctrine that personal rights are
superior to property rights, Judge
Ford has consistently supported
that conviction. That Judge Ford
has been a good administrator is
clearly indicated by the importance
of these public offices and the serv-
ice which he gave.
During his many years IN Helena,
Judge Ford's private life has been
as exemplary as his public life. His
children have received their edu-
cation in the schools and colleges of
this state, and both he and his wife
have taken an active part in COM
munity problems and interests.
Judged by his record in public
and private life, Judge Fordss ca
reer shows that he has thorough
knowledge of the economic, polit-
ical and social problems of this state
and that he would make Montana
the finest type of Governor. The
people of Montana have demonstrate
ed the fullest confidence in his abil-
ity and integrity. They are con-
WINGED that he offers them clean,
honest administration of state af-
fairs.
The principles which Judge Ford
has adopted in his platform have
won widespread acclaim and en-
thusiasm throughout Montana. His
platform indicates that he has a
sound and modern view of public
needs in this state, and his record
shows that he has the courage, abil-
ity and conviction to put the pro-
gram into effect.
More and more the people OF
Montana are saying that if Judge
Ford is elected Governor Of Mon
tana, this commonwealth will be
led by man who enjoys the re-
spect of his fellow citizens and who
is qualified for the high office OF
Governor by thorough education, a
world of experience, and by vigorous
adherence to progressive principles.

Is Years AGO

George Reichardt, a we'll known
rancher of the Swamp creek coun-
try, while handling a .38 callber
revolver last evening, dropped the
gun, exploding it and the bullet
crashing into the bridge of his right
foot, causing very nasty and pain
full wound. The injured man was
brought to Libby by A. G. Beager
for treatment.
The county fair at Eureka brings
to mind very forcibly the need of a
good wagon road from one end OF
the county to the other, following
the Kootenai river. If this road was
completed it would mean Won
derful difference in the attendance
at Eureka and it would mean a
greater opportunity for the farmers
over the county generally to get
their produce to Eureka to have 1t
displayed at the fair at that place.
Completely cutting the building
and destroying the stock of mer-
chandise, the fire at the Bush store
in South Libby, last night, was the
worst experienced in Libby in years.
The blaze was discovered at ll.27,
after it had smouldered in the parti-
tons for some time. In less than
fifteen minutes after the discovery
of the fire. the whole building was
mass of flames, which shooting
heaven-Ward turned the night into
day for several blocks.
Efforts to notify the fire depart
ment were in vain. The blaze was
seen from several points in vari-
Gus parts of the city and an alarm
turned in and it was only after
much delay the fire fighters re-
ceived knowledge of the fire. The
local department did good work at
the blaze although the building was
aflame from one end to the other
when they arrived upon the scene
The fire is real disaster to the
new owners, G. W. Bush & Sons
They purchased the property from
Earnest Benneke several months
ago and were building up a fine
business. The stock carried amount
ed to about $4,500.00 which was COW
cred by insurance. The building
was the property of w. A. Hills
and is partially covered by insur-
ance.
The petition being circulated
among the homesteaders within the
kootenai National Forest, praying
for a change in the homestead laws
governing land Improvements, is re-
ceiving enthusiastic support from
the homesteaders.
When the gates swing open next
Tuesday morning, Lincoln county
residents will be treated to the

Jay was not in the least bit dis

South was so ashamed of his two
no-trump bid that he was afraid to
raise his partner from three to four
hearts, and we cannot blame North
for bidding the slam in no-trump.
South won the opening club lead
in his own hand and cashed four
heart tricks, East and West discard
ing nothing but clubs. The queen
of diamonds was now played from
dummy. West won with the ace
and played second club. Declarer
won in dummy and led a third club.
Now East made the fatal mistake of
letting 60 of a low diamond in
order to guard his queen-ja jacks small
of spades. Now declarer cashed the
two spades in dummy and a success
full diamond finesse allowed him to
make the last three tricks in that
suit.
East's diamond discard was quite
bad. True, if declarer held three
spades to the ten and three dia-
monds, throwing a spade would cost
the hand. But the actual distribu-
ton was much more likely.

Then he laughed as he remarked to

about whispering it's a sure sign
that he's got secret. He thinks
that he can keep it'from me, but he
can't. Oh, my, no! I never knew
