The attitude of the justice Of the
peace and the county attorney OF
Lewis and Clark county, Harold An
derson, was quite clearly indicated in
an affidavit filed before the supreme
court by the attorney for Mr.. Vanek
in which was told of conference
held between Justice of the Peace
White and County Attorney Anderson,
during which White STATED that he
would have nothing to do with the
matter, and that the conversation be-
tween White and the county attorney
death with the political effect on
them Of the issuance of a warrant for
the arrest of Clements" This atti-
tude of both of the worthless appears
not to have changed since then.
The charge which was filed against
Clements was that he had violated the
provisions Of the corrupt practices act
by being member Of political com
mittee while holding an appointive
state job. The law reads az follows:
mo holder Of a public position
other than an office filled by the
voters, shall be delegate to a con-
vention for the election district that
elects the officer or board under
whom he directly or indirectly holds
such position, nor shall he be a
member of political committee for
such district"
The term political committee" is
defined in the statutes as follows.~
Section 10775 R. C. M. 1885:
Political Committee shall apply
to every combination of two or
more persons who shall aid or pro-
mote the success or defeat of can
didate, or political party or prin-
ciple, and the provisions of law re-
lating thereto shall apply to any
firm or partnership, or any corpora
ton, and to any club, organization
or association or other combination
or persons whether incorporated or
not, with similar purposes, whether
primary or incidental"
The petition for a writ of mandate
was filed in the supreme court by Mr..
Vanek when 1t was apparent to him
hat neither the justice of the peace I
lor the county attorney intended to
axe any action whatever.
Both of these worthless are seeking
'e-election on the democratic ticket
md Clements being one of the DEM
,cratic party bosses, it placed them

very channel of "stalling" was closed I
or Justice White by the writ of man.

NO PROTECTION
FOR PURE FOOD
FOR animals

The editor of The Voice is in receipt
Of the letters printed below from a
resident of Ravalli county where he
has always played leading part in
the development and maintenance OF
well bred dairy stock. He calls atten.
ton to condition that should be re-
medied and the representatives to the
coming session of the legislature
should prepare to make proper provi-
sions in the law to bring it about.
Hamilton, Mont, July 81, 1910
Mr. Bruce,
After reading your Looking Back
ward" it occurred to me you might
be interested in, and have your at
tention called to our state law on
pure foods. This law combines the
animal and human foods. It's enforce
ment is by the state board of health.
This body claims to have enforced the
law as 1t applies to human foods but
due to lack of funds is not enforcing
the law in regard to animal foods.
The result, there is no inspection
of animal foods. The state Of Mon
tana does not protect it's feeders from
impure foods, the thousands of tons
of dockage by elevators and mills
taken free and again sold in feeds at
high prices, the state grades the eggs,
the butter, cheese, all dairy products,
but does not protect its feeders who
are forcedto compete in markets with
like producers who are so protected.
We have taken this up with Gov
ernor Ayers when he was elected but
never gotten any where would not
talks on this subject among formers
be good election arguments?
Yours truly,
C. A. A.

move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Sennatopull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take DR.. Caldwell's Laxative, becauseit is
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that Won
derfulstomachcomfort, whiletheLaxative
Sienna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumpsof
u~ndigested protein food which may linger
nyour stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
ling your stomach helps relievei it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. Sosee
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy DR.. CaldwelI's Lax

The President, who previously

Germans seized and which the
allies vainly sought TO attack from
both north and south.
1T was a place that was essen

ment and king" Chamberlain said.
Admits Effects
In this fighting around Trond-
hjem, the German losses were
heavier in warships. transports.
planes and men than the losses of
the allies, Chamberlain said.
But he admitted that I'VE had TO
take into account the fact that we
suffered a certain loss OF prestige
and that a certain color has been
given TO false legend Of German
invincibility on land. and that some
encouragement has been caused to
our friends" as result Of allied
failure In central Norway.
