on a pretty good story right at

exclusive interview with Ken

News, Hardin'S land Big Horn

farmer-politician, Mike Kuchera
stated: 81 will be a candidate
for governor on the Republican
ticket in 1852, and will file
Soon!"
Mike said he has no hard
feelings toward Governor Ford,
who defeated him in the recent
primary. Ford is the man for
the job, and l will support him
100 per cent. However I under
stand that he has no intention
of running again in 1852, and
that is where I come into the
picture"
Kuchsra also said there is no
question that LeWistown should
be the state capital. 'It is in
the exact center of Montana"
ne told the Daily News, $50
would be the most convenient
place for most of the people to
reach"
Speaking of. the towns he had
seen during his campaign tour,
Mike said the best and fastest
growing little town was Sidney,
with Hardin running second and
Cut Bank third.
Asked if he figures he has
any chance to win in 1852 he
said:
1T would rather. be bsaten for
a big office than a little one. I
have run six times for public
office-state senator, mayor of
Hardin, state representative,
school board and governor-and
have never won once. But I
would rather be beaten for gov
ernor than for justice of the
peace"

The street signs in Hardin
are a decided improvement in
the city. It is becoming easier
to direct strangers to a given
residence in town, since we can
say he lives on North Crow
avenue or on Sixth street west.
What we need now is house
numbers. Well confess we don't
have the street names memor-
lied as yet-in fact we didn't
know some of them had names
until the signs were put up
but the numbers would be a de-
cided help in locating residen-
ces, besides giving the appear
ance of an ~up-to-date city.
