MINING TOWN
TALKS ELECTION
NEIHART GROWING. WANTS I'M.
PROvENIENTS AND BETTER
SERVICE

More interest in town govern
ment Is being shown at Neihart,
and in 1871 an election to select
officers is contemplated, accord
ing to information received by the
office of County Clerk Charles
Regain at Great Falls. Officials
tried to recall the last election held
in the town. The last they remem-
bered was in 1913.
At that time, if they are correct
Tony Faller was mayor He was re-
elected in that last election. Tony
has served as mayor since and Is the
incumbent.
At the last Neihart election, six al
dermen were named. None has been
elected since. There are three wards
in the town. Each is entitled to two
aldermen. OF the six last elected. only
three now are serving, according to
reports.
The reported demand for an active
municipal government indicates the
return to Neihart of a considerable
population arising from renewed min
ing activities.
with the increased population comes
the necessity of adopting ordinances
to control the population and to raise
municipal funds.
Opinions were ventured that the
city's traffic conditions could be i'm
proved. 1t was also recalled that Mel
hart's fire department answered a
call two or three years ago. A building
was burning. The department tried
two fire hydrants but both were out
Of order, 1t was said. The third one
worked, but too late. The building
was destroyed.
light setup was mentioned. A private
concern controls the power inside the
town limits Montana Power controls
the surrounding power.
The Neihart citizens were instructed
that they should petition the town
council to hold the election, although
under the law the event is mandatory
1t was thought that one signer to the
petition would be enough.

The Presidents speech will be

1t is a unity grounded in fury at
the treachery of the Japanese sur

uncomprehending diSmay that such
successes could be scored against
naval and air defenders and the re-

Reported presence of japanese
raiding planes over the Pacific Coast
last night added to this realization
and the resigned expectation was
general that Germany and Italy,

to our active foes. With this antici-
pated development will come the

AS the war news breaks over
Washington, the one man who risked
his official neck four years ago by
insisting that Japan should be
curbed before she got too strong, is
sitting in Vichy, France, shaving a
Smithtield ham into tissue slices so
that it will last a little longer.
Admiral William D. Leahy told me
in 1887, at a dinner party, that he
had pleaded with certain members
of Congress to allow the Navy to
answer the Panay insult in the ira
ditional American naval fashion. He
told President Roosevelt at that
time: Mr.. President. I guarantee
that can clean up the Japanese if
you let me hit them now"

overalls to win the battle of pro-
duction. Strikes-long the bane of
the defense program-virtually dis
appeared.
As far as could be learned, no
broad legislative program for war
purposes was Immediately planned
or considered necessary. Leaders
at the Capitol expressed the belief
that the declaration of war pro-
vided the President with full pow
ers and Cancelled the prohibitions
which limited his authority under
various statutes. Individual meas
ures, they said, would be handled
expeditiously as the need arose.
Germany Blamed.
Perhaps for the double purpose of
reassuring the fighting friends who
have been relying in great measure
on American supplies and of forcing
an open 'pronouncement of actual
wartime relationships between the
United States and Germany, the
President last night authorized a
declaration blaming Berlin for
pushing Japan into war with this
country and guaranteeing that our
preoccupation in the Pacific will not
block lease-lend aid to other ma
tions.
Obviously Germany did all it
could to push Japan into the war, "
the White House said. TT was the
German hope that If the United
States and Japan could be pushed
into war that such a conflict would
put an end to the lease-lend pro-
gram.
'As usual the wish is father to
the thought behind the broadcasts
and public announcements emanat-
ing from Germany with relation to
the war and the lease-lend program.
That such German broadcasts
and announcements are continu-
ously and completely 100 per cent
inaccurate is shown by the fact that
the lease-lend program is, and will
continue, in full operation"
