DIXON RETURNS
FROM ELBA
(Continued from cage one)
would run for governor or senator.
To these trained observers there was
no longer any doubt that the sage of
Missoula would breast the tape line
when the great race of 1928 starts.
The republican pilgrims who turned
their faces towards the Placer last
Sunday, like the wandering Jew to
wards Jerusalem or the Mahomet to
wards Mecca, were unlike the veri^at
ed conglomeration of company haters
who crowded the ex-governor's room
in the Füllen— tney were leaders of
his party who had campaigned with
him in the past. Nearly all of them
urged him to be a candidate for the
sen ?J e ". . ... „ T . . .
Washington or Helena, Which?
Because of the widespread feeling;
that Wheeler has run his course—that
"his sins have found him out" and his
appalling record of treachery to the
people of the state has become known
leading republicans are saying that all
Dixon has to do is to enter his name
for the office of senator to win.
Against Wheeler he would hardly
have to make a campaign. It was
conceded on all sides that he would be
nominated in the primary without op
position and would win in November
with a majority of 25,000 votes. It
would please the big men of his party
and the independents of the state to
have a man in Washington who would
not sneeze every time John D. Ryan
or Con Kelly take out their silvered
snuff boxes in New York.
But—
On the other hand many feel that
their greatest vote getter should lead
the van of battle in the campaign for
the governorship. There is where the
hard fight will have to be made. There
is also a seething unrest directed
against the continued government of
the state by the minions of one gigan
tic corporation. The occupancy of the
governor's mansion by John Erickson
has not met with the approval of even
the members of his own party. His
appointments have not pleased any
body outside of Mr. Jim Hobbins. The
promises of his supporters that the
governor would inaugur-.te an era of
economy have not materialized. The
cold fact is that while the income of
the state has increased by over two
millions the debt is greater than when
Dixon went out of the capital. De
spite the fact that the governor is
dominated by his purchasing agent,
who was a former purchasing agent
for the Anaconda company, Mr. Er- 1
ickson must answer to the people for
his administration. In the capital it
is "Governor Murphy" who is held re-1
sponsible for every act of the chief
executive from his visits to the out -1
houses in the capital grounds to his I
whitewashing excursions to Warm!
Springs; but in the wide open spaces
and cities of Montana, where John
Erickson is not known as a "Yes :
Man" to "Gov" Murphy, the governori
must shoulder responsibility for the j
state administration.
He must give
an account of his stewardship to the
people.
Dixon for Governor
Erickson is as weak with the mem- (
bers of his own party as is Wheeler l
but it is conceded that he would cut
into republican strength in the final
election. For that reason many urge
Dixon to run for the hardest office
to attain—that of
company" would fight him bitterly
for this office but he would have the
support of the Butte Miner—the daily f
newspaper with the largest circulation
and most influence and the independ- i
ent press of the state. He would win
where another candidate would have |
hard sledding.
By Dixon running for governor re
, publican? contend that they could elect
their whole ticket. Rankin would win
a walk if Wheeler should happen
to be the democratic nominee.
Bourquin Looms
Here, is where some more figuring
comes in. Judge George Bourquin is
ready to announce his candidacy for
democratic senator if Dixon decides to
N run for governor. Bourquin's friends
are confident that he would defeat
Wheeler in the primaries but the
Fighting Judge has a strong admira
tion for the sage of Missoula and
would not care to face him in the fi
nals.. If Dixon does decide to run for
governor .the line up for senator in
the finals is likely to be Rankin
the republican ticket and Bourquin
the democratic ticket. That will be
a pretty race. Both ar eyoung men.
Both are very progressive in political
outlook. They are good speakers and
01 amatic and forceful personalities.
But there is a differente in an import
Hnt particular. Rankin is a dry while
Bourquin is a wet and an uncompro
mising supporter of Al Smith. This
would make an interesting race with

The oil industry of the country, since the time of
Coal Oil Johnny, bas furnished no more romantic
stories than those of Montana Independents.
Montana oil seems to be for the "little fellow.
The big Standard companies have yet to register im
portant discoveries or successes in this state. The
Independents are the ones who have opened up the
new fields and have made the "big money.
Fifty-six Petroleum corporation of Miles City is
one of those whose story is romantic enough for a
place in. the world story of oil.
Early in the history of Cat Creek, when there
grave doubt whether Cat Creek was an oil field, a
group of Miles City men decided that the old Frantz
well on the Musselshell river, then making about 10
barrels of oil and water a day, was indicative of
something BIG. They backed up their belief to the
extent of an expenditure of $14,000.00.

They purchased ta lease on the Richard Ihde farm
and drilled a well. It was a good producer. The
Ihde farm was looked upon as the center of the new
field. The Fifty-six group had many chances to
sell. They did sell part of their 320-acre lease, get
ting $1,000 .an acre. Virtually over night the'eom
pany was on a dividend basis. It continued drilling
out one 40-acre tract. The company drilled 13
wells. Only 40 acres of its 320
