bad DeatlngS. 1nlS wasn't done oil
the time of his employer, Jobl
Leslie Paper company. He tool
time out and did it on his own; tot
ethical to work on anyone's tim,
but his own.
Republican clubs, through hi:
effort, were organized all over Mont
ana. A fighting spirit was generated
among the Slothful and defeats
party people. Results we're apparent
in the election of 1910, when sew
eral who at least bear the republi-
can party label were elected to maj
CT positions. Some OF them were
hiding in badger holes while the
inky storm hung yer the land.
They emerged to watch Charley and
a few other crazy crusaders Gas
they leeringly termed them run
ming up and down the land to at
tend to the process of rebuilding.
But the sun was coming out so
they came cut of their holes in the
ground and decided to run for off
ice. %"%
Last winter while in Minneapol-
is 1 had a long talk with the head
of the paper company that Dawley
represents here in Montana. He told
that when Charley first came
into the office to learn the ropes
he was about as popular around
the place as a porcupine. He didn't
spread honey dew or roSewater. He
talked plain talk to the customers
and to the others around the place.
They thought he was queer, a bit
tecbed, as the hillbillies say. But the
line was so different, so unlike the
palaver that everyone was
used to it Soon attracted attention
and vast appreciation. And Char
ley much to his amazement and
of fright became popular.
When it was decided to send him
out to Montana, said this very
discerning boss who has a deli
other executives were a trifle wor-
lied. They didn't know their west
ern country and feared that Mr..
Oawley would start a stampede
he wrong way. But the decision
vas made final and ON the day of
lis departure, with a show of mist
n his eyes, a small frog in his
hroat, Charley's farewell salute
o bis superiors and associates in
he warehouse was a wish that
hey would spend their vacations
hades. Then he lit out over the
western trail.
Out this way he greeted the
Prospective customers with a snort
old them he didn't want to sell
hem any foolish junk and if they
on buying regardless OF
is advice they were confirmed
At first, naturally,
hey looked at him out of a
aundiced eye and were tempted
tell him to soak himself in the
earest and deepest lake. They
rere used to slick haired, sweet
peaking statesmen who were out
} make big sales records regard
,ss. Dawley kept hammering on
tactical things, better office ar
angements, more efficient system, J
lways remembering to GUS bis !
est customer with thoroughness. !
cry soon he was galloping away
ito the leadership in sales and it {
ept growing until the day he
pinned a soldiers uniform. r
Under that grousing, crusty, :
isty manner, the printers, not +
upid fellows as a class, saw hon
ty without adornment and a
sposition to build them up for
lie long pull. If in a jam they
on learned that he'd travel a
inbred miles out of his way to
t things back on the track. Or if
cir shirts were in the laundry
lost the evening before in a a.
iker game, he'd give them the -"
he was wearing.
you may think a gent of his
ygresSive. energetic qualities
,uld take little time for the pur- 81
it of the heavier kinds of politi- N
problems and economic rigama- 81

About three years ago I visited d.
his home in Great Falls. He E
TX me down to see his basement ic
d not for a snifter but to show bt
, his library. The walls were C
ed with books and not the sc
shy kind. His tones on military az
bjects were the ones thumbed
er most.
But his pet enthusiasm is rail IT,

k all night on that subject if

How far will he go in this race 81 =
senator? I think I know what IL
uld happen if we had a conven- III
n system. The hall would be

newspaper men, all yell
for the Colonel, way down IN
and buddying with the Aus he

men would be glad to play list
