THE H4ND OF ESAU BUT
THE VOICE OF JACOB
—*
Senator \V heeler's mouthpiece, published in Groat Falls, was out
with another article last week trying to prove that the quashing of
the W heeler indictment by Judge. Bailey at Washington, D. C., was
not on a technicality but on some good reason of law. ..We reprint
the report of the circumstances preceeding the ruling of tho Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia and we will leave our readers to
draw their own conclusions.
article in the Wheeler organ admits the accusations made
m the Producers News that the Wheeler indictment was dismissed
^ a judge sitting in the District of Columbia on a demurrer and
not by a jury of his peers as was true in the cases of Doheny and
uaugnerty. 1 he Producers News again reiterates that the guilt or
innocence of Daugherty, Doheny and Wheeler stands on the same
plan f* .i le ca f® s against these people accused of trying to misappro
priate the public domain are dropped while Gordon Campbell, the
man who brought prosperity to thousands of Montanans, is now lying

The editor of tho Searchlight denies the prevalent rumor that
his sheet is subsidized by Senator Wheeler and states that he him
self is the author of its articles. We do not accuse Mr. Manson of
any such thing even though ho asserts it himself. Everybody knows
that Wheeler fears the publicity of the Producers News and the
splendid farmers' movement that is spreading from Northeastern
Montana. Iho exposure of his treachery to the common people by
this paper caused the agile Junior Senator to jump his dates in all
the counties in Northern Montana last fall. It is an admitted fact
that the letter he sent to each voter in Sheridan and Daniels counties
resulted in Harry Mitchell getting such a small vote after he (Mitch
ell) made such a good impression. Before the election, Wheeler and
W aish thought all they had to do was to show themselves in the
eastern district to detcat Leavitt. But after the election there
a great awakening. Wheeler's attempt to keep the eyos of the peo

spent precious time speaking about the little green house on K street

WHEN WHEELER UTTER
i'O THE INTERESTS OF THE ANA
When Whee^r and Jerome Locke spoke« in Butte last labor day,
Locke spent his time showing how the dred disease of tuberculosis
is decimating the ranks of the underground workers and incurred the
enmity of the big company on the hill while Wheeler wasted preci
ous time entwining laurels which he placed on his own brow by ref
erences to his activities in the Daugherty investigation, but refrain
ed Irom even mentioning the hard lives of the miners in the under
ground. AGAIN WE ASK MR. WHEELER'S PERSONAL ORGAN
TO EXPLAIN WHY HE DID NOT ENDORSE MR. LOCKE'S IN
DICTMENT OF THE TREATMENT OF THE MINERS OF BUTTE
BY THE ANACONDA COMPANY.
When a certain Helena newspaper made a gross and unfounded
attack on the« Council of Action and progressive county officials of
Sheridan County, only one paper reprinted the libel. That paper was
the Searchlight, which seconds the Helena daily both in spreading
libels about the farmers' government of Sheridan County and sup
porting Senator Wheeler. Both papers whether consciously
consciously are helping along the National Surety Company, which
John I). Ryan on its board of directors, to dodge the payment of tho
amount for which the contents of the safe of Sheridan County treas
ury was robbed. In a future issue we will show how it is in the
joint interest of the Anaconda and Senator Wheeler to spread these
libels about the Council of Action and others in eastern Montana.
Mr. Wheeler, your smoke screen is too thin. You will be forced
to come out in the open and face the music instead of hiding behind
a sheet masquerading as an organ of labor which is sent free 5o sev
eral hundred peonle and has not enough advertising to pay the gro
cery bills of its editor for one week. The public recognize your fine
Italian hand and exclaim after reading the articles attacking the
progressives of Northeastern Montana that "THE HAND IS THE
HAND OF ESAU, BUT THE VOICE IS THE VOICE OF JACOB."
