Myers' "democratic left wing." IMyers, obeying the call of the tocsin from the Sixth floor of the Hennessy building, Butte, recently organized what he is pleased to term a group of "reguLar democrats" for the pur pose of working for Cox and Roosevelt for president and fo, the republican state, congressional and county tickets. By way of pertinent history it may be stated the arrange ments for the Myers meeting were made by Helena men whom Col. C. B. Nolan, law partner of Senator Walsh termed "two good Jews and a bad Irishman." The meeting was called to order by Judge Jones of Glendive, who is a defeated and like wise disgruntled candidate, having been vanquished at the, pri mary by a candidate endorsed by the Nonpartisan and Labor leagues. .There was not a democrat even from the state house, from the governor down, who was present. Every republican office holder, however, was there with bells on, as were Republican State Chairman Scallan, Ben Pizer, the "listener in and fixer' for the Anaconda Copper Mining company at Helena; Attorney Johnson of Billings, lawyer for the Montana Power company, various railroad interests anrd also counsel for the Montana De velopment association; Mr. qies of the Gies Wholesale Grocery company of Great Falls; Mr. McIntyre of the Billings Whole sale Grocery company; N. T. Lease, late of the ~tate council of pretense and also of the !'efficiency" board; Mr. Milburn, Ana conda company's personal representative at Miles City, foamer ly of Butte, and other prominent or notorious republicans. Following is the list of members of Myers' "left-wing" exe cutive committee: LESTER LOBEL, former county attOrney of Lewis and Clark county, friend and fellow of Will A. Campbell of the Hel ena Independent, also a "friend" of the A. C. MW., and last, but not least, attorney for the profiteering interests at Helena. SHIRLEY FORD of Great Falls, a republican banker.

New York, Oct. 13.-Public in dignatlon at the granting of the $200,00b) police lfpnd 'for "fighting Reds" mounted to the boiling point when a dozen Italians "suspected" of complicity in the Wall street ex plosion of Sept. 16 were evidently on no evidence whatever arrested, and propnptly discharged. The conviction that the arrests were merely a noisy display on the part of the police in ordbr to create the impression that they were do ing something with the enormous fund Just granted them by the board of estimate, was supported by the crude manner in which the whole incident was staged. Fro.n every group in New Xork the declaration is being made that the $200,000 is a "slush fund." No accounting will have to be made for the money, since it was Voted to support secret police. It is ac knowledged on all sides that the po lice would never 'have-obtained the sum .at 1, if '.the . Wall stret..acli, deit hIid not been turned into a "red terror" by the police-inspired newspaper reports. Fiorello LaGuardia, in response to a questionaire sent out by the i New York 'Call, admitted that "the work of the police department in solving the mystery of the Wall street disaster had been disgrace ful." When asked' whether he would consider the use of agents provoca tours a legitimate means for the po like to discover crime with their new wealth, he said that he could not speak for the police department on that matter. That the money will in reality be used as a slush fund for intra-de- 1 partmental politics is made very ap parenit 'by the solebin assurance of Commissioner Enright that the uses to which the money will be put will be kept dark. In a communication sent to the board of estimate he has promised that all details of his fight against "radicals and committors of crimies" shall remain secret. 1'e asked and was granted, permission from the board of estimate to expend 'one half of the $200,000 fut.d without hav ing to submit vouchers that may then become subject to public in spection.

Chemical whisky has been carefully purified and aged for years. The moonshiner ages his over night, and then sneaks it into the market."
