Murray, O'Connor, Rankin and
Haynes Are Party Nominees

The primary election, which brought Montana's quietest
balloting in many years of turbulent political history, brought
no major upsets, it was indicated in state tabuations.
Only conflict brought to the surface was that between Sen
ators James E. Murray and Burton K. Wheeler in pre- and post
election statements that indicated their strong political differ
ences.
In the Democratic senatorial race Senator Murray easily
won the nomination over Joseph Monaghan. On the Republi-
can side, Wellington Z. Rankin led Lieut.. Col. Charles R.
Dawley, with DR.. Jacob Thorkelson of Butte, former con-
gresham, in third place.
James F. OConnor, incumbent congressman, took the Demo-
cratic congressional nomination without trouble from William
M. McCracken and Robert A. Patterson. Fritz F. Haynes of
Forsyth had little difficulty getting the Republican nod for the
same post over Byron DeForest and Grant Hammond.
Horace F. Casey, Democratic incumbent, had a safe lead
for railroad and public service commissioner, trailed by ]. T.
Kelly and R. S. Murray. Leonard c. Young, former commits
sioner, was unopposed on the Republican ballot.
Frank Murray of Butte, a newcomer to state politics, was
conceded the Democratic nomination for clerk of the supreme
court. He was leading John w. Mountjoy and W. P. Pilgeram.
Lewis R. Knox took the Republican nomination, defeating Peter
N. Rigs.
In the western congressional district, Mike Mansfield, once
Butte miner turned State university professor, copied the
Democratic congressional nomination from Jerry j. OConnen,
former congressman. A neck-and-neck race developed in Re
publican balloting between Howard w. Hazebaker and E. G.
Toomey, with Hazelbaker holding a bigger edge in latest tabu-
lations.
Albert Angstman and Hugh Adair appeared to be the two
who will run in November for associate justice of the supreme
court on the judiciary ballot.

REPRESENTATIVE RACE, DEMOCRAT
TICKET, SHOWS SMALL MARGIN
AMONG 3 CANDIDATES

In a primary election Tuesday that otherwise, for the most
part, was quiet, o. R. McCleery and j. N. Mass emerged as the
Democratic nominees for state representative. McCleery had
a clear plurality but the other three candidates in the race were
closely punched and the issue was not determined until the last
precincts reported late Wednesday morning. Less than 100 votes
separated Mass, Resner BIkken and D. J. Bogut.
Total vote cast in the election was about $500. While $3.50
names were on county registration lists, it is estimated that at
least 1000 of this number have left the county. On this basis,
Tuesdays vote was about 60 percent of those eligible.

RETURN
LOWER Than
ANTICIPATED
Growers Asked to Approve
Plan to Move Sugar to
Eastern Market.
By Courier Correspondent

HINSDALE Anticipated returns
for l941 sugar beets are much lower
than previously was estimated by
officials of the Utah Idaho Sugar
company, according to John Hentz,
president of the Northern Montana
Beet Growers association.
No payment was made in June
because very little sugar had been
sold at that time, due to rationing
restrictions. However, with the re-
Taxation in raticning and movement
of sugar east, enough sugar has
now been sold to result in an add
itional SO cents per ton due the
growers bringing the total payment
to 1888 a ton for 1941 beetS from
the sugar company.
A plan has been submitted to the
board of directors of the growers
association whereby practically all
sugar to be sent to Chicago and
the east will be shipped from Utah
Idaho district, Mr.. Hentz says. This
plan should result in a larger net
for growers of the Chinook factory
district than if only the districts
proporticnate share were shipped
direct from Chinook.
A letter will be sent to each
grower of the district soon asking
for his approval CT the plan, ac-
cording to word received from Hat
Ter Gearhart, manager of the Utah
Idaho company's factory at Chin
ook.
The government is building up
reserves in certain eastern states
and will absorb all freight east
of Chicago, MI. Gearhart's letter
to Mr.. Hentz stated. Freight to
Chicago must be paid by the sugar
company, lowering net returns by
that amount.

Forest Hill of Laurel, artist whose
design for a mural for the Glasgow
postoffice lobby was accepted last
September in competition with 80
others, was in Glasgow from Sun
day to Wednesday installing the
completed mural in its place at the
west end of the lobby.
The mural was painted on canvas
at the artists home. 1t has been
cemented to the wall with white
lead varnish. The edge is finished
with a narrow molding in pearly
gray and gold to harmonic with
the colors in the painting.
There have been a few slight
changes in the completed work from
the original design. In the central
part of the mural a panel, shaped
like the state of Montana, showing
present day activities and COM
merce of this section. has the
power house at Fort Peck added to
the subject.
At both ends of the panel +
groups illustrative of Montana's
past, looking at the central panel.
The only change here from the orr

gambler in the right foreground was
moved back and the figure of a
pioneer woman brought forward.

To Check Autos
For Use Stamps

According to information furnish
ed by Lewis Penwell, collector of
internal revenue for Montana, there
are a number of automobile users
who have not yet purchased their
federal automobile use tax stamps
for the period ending June 80, 1913.
These stamps should have been pur-
chased and affixed to the wind
shield Of every car in use July
1st.
1T was apparently the intention
of congress when this law was pas
sed that every automobile user
purchase this stamp, unless specif-
ically exempted by law, and since
the bureau of internal revenue is
charged with the enforcement of
the law, it is my duty and my in
tention," said Mr. Penwell, ito have
my deputies begin a statewide can
vass in the very near future in an
effort to locate all auto tax vi
olatogs in the state of Montana,
and they will be assised by the
state highway patrol.

WEATHER CUTS YIELD

HINSDALE - Crop prospects in
western Valley county are generally
good, it is reported by farmers. How
ever, grain yields have been lowered
some by extremely hot weather the
past three weeks.
About one half inch of rain fell
Friday evening in the Milk river
valley and a limited area each side
of the valley. Farther north the
rainfall tapered off to smaller
amounts, but farmers generally
agreed that the moisture, coupled
with several cooler days following,
slowed heat burning and will fill
heads more satisfactorily in most
fields.
Harvesting of feed and winter
wheat is expected to start in about
a week in this area.
