DIXON WILL REMAIN
AT ELBA THIS YEAR
Continued from Page One)
in the thick of the fight he is di
recting his battalions from his in
vivable political dugout. One of his
candidates for the Senate is Beacom,
the defeated ex-Mayor of Missoula.
Beacom is to be opposed by Ed. Don
Ion and a lively race is expected in
this Athens of the treasure state.
In other parts of th% state Dixon
men have filed and in some places
the race for the senate and legis
lautre will be bitterly fought.
General Political Apathy
Outside the legislative battles
there is not much interest displayed
in state politics this year outside
Butte and Great Falls. The two
cities mentioned show no shortage
of men who want to feed at the pub
he trough. This year there is gen
f*. P®"tical apathy and no big po
litical issue seems to hold the inter
est of the people. There are few
persons out of work in the indus
trial cities and the younger genera
tion don't seem to care who runs the
state so long as they can get hold
of a "Car, a girl and a bottle of
Moon»" The latter commodity has
increased appreciably in the state un
der the administration of Col. Mar
sters and "Old Bill" Wade. A boot
legger in Butte told me that he
would not vote for the repeal of the
State Prohibition law because busi
ness was profitable for him under
this statute and he was perfectly sat
isfied with the way it was admin
istered by Marsters and Wade.
Stoner's Filing Upsets Plans
The filing of the name of Clair
Stoner for Congress in the second
district caused a flurry in state and
upset the plans of some politicians.
For instance, the Great Falls Trib
une was so sure that the Montana
Federation of Labor would indorse
Harry Mitchell for congress that it
printed several stories concerning .
the indorsement and even went so i
far as to name the man who would !
introduce the resolution on the floor
of the Convention. The democrats j
in the western district expected the !
mdorsement of Evans also But the 1
Assodated Press story, published in !
the Bozeman papers, announcing the
filing of Stoner and a Farmer-Labor
ticket in the state, had such effect on
the delegates to the convention that
the old party labor fakers present
did not dare to introduce their in
dorsing resolutions. The sentiment
of the rank and file of the delegates
was in favor of a workers and farm

American capitalists would ulti

Rep. Bacon of New York, sponsor
of the bill which would take from
Filipino control the islands of Min- j
danae, Basilian, Palawan and the Sulu
archipelago, denies that he is an im
perialist. He says he is trying to
protect the poor Moros from the
cruel domination of the Christian Fil

hatred of the Mohammedan popula

the Moro country is to form a
jart of any independent Philip
pine government. Aside from
their hostility to the Christian
Filipinos—which it is doubtful
that generations will overcome,
the Moros are not yet remotely
prepared to intelligently partici
pate in a self-governing democra
yy
cy.
Hence, he proposes an ap
pointive colonial government
from Washington, in which the
Filipinos will have no part.
"With the Moro Province once
opened for the development of
iron ore and for the growing of
copra, sugar, rubber, hemp and
other tropical products," Bacon
suggests, "and the investment of
capital under careful government
al regulations encouraged rather
than discouraged, as at present,
there is no question but that in
a very short time the revenues of
the Moro Province would not only
take care of all governmental ex
penditures, but would far exceed
per capital of population, that of
the entire remaining portion of
the Philippines.
To this confession of business mot
ive the independence mission replies
that it is simply a grab by American
business. It points out as significant
the fact that every spot marked by
Secretary Hoover's map, prepared
last year, of the possible rubber
growing areas in the Islands, is with
in the territory which Bacon would
tear from the Filippine state. It
charges that the aim of Bacon and
his backers is to break down the
present law of the Islands, limiting
to 2,500 acres the amount of public
land that any company may acquire.
The Moros are only 8 per cent of
the population of the Islands. The
Filipinos denounce as "monstrously
unjust" the proopsal that the 92 per
cent who are civilized and modem
shall be deprived of the natural re
*£ urces . °J. tbe .nch tenitory which
* he «"civilized inhabit, in order that
I An J en can capitalist, may exploit it
and at tbe same time postpone the
day of self-government m the Islands.
