JUDGE S. E. PAUL'S election shows
that progressive sentiment in the
three counties where the Pro
ducers News has its heaviest circu
lation, is growing steadily. Mr.
Cudhie was the strongest candidate
that the "old crowd" douM put up
against the man selected by the or
ganized farmers and he failed to
carry even his own county where he
is so deservedly popular. The Wolf
Point Heral'i, which came out
strong for Wheeler and Mr. Cudhie,
lost Roosevelt county more than two
to one for the Scobey barrister. Per
haps this was due to the Herald's
association of the name of the shif
ty-eyed Butte pettifogger with the
Scobey attorney. And old Mr. Bur
ley Bowler came out with a rip
snorting editorial just before elec
tion criticizing Ju'dge Paul for ren
dering "political decisions" and be

THE PRIMARY ELECTION re
turns from throughout the state, are,
on the whole, very satisfactory to
people of progressive leanings. The
çmt Anaconda Company with its
hoard of highly trained lobbyists
arid political fixers nearly lost its
governor. It was forced to throw
all of its vote into the Democratic
Primary to nominate Erickson. The
j result was that its candidate, Lee
I Dennis, was left standing at the post
on the republican side. Rankin and
Dixon, who are nominated for Gov

WIN TWO GAMES AT
GRAND FORKS, N. D.
The Plentywood team returned the
first of the week after a baseball
tour in Canada, where they played
spectacular ball and came home with
the large end of the receipts.
The first four games were played
with Melrose, Minn., at Winnipeg,
Plentywood winning 3 out of 4. The
Melrose team was made up of the
cream of Minnesota ball players and
had the famous colored pitcher, John
Donaldson, in the box.
After the Winnipeg games, the lo
cals made a trip of several hundred
miles to Midale, Canada, where they
played three games, winning 2 and
losing 1.

as Clark was indisposed from the
long, hard trip. Even after traveling
several hundred miles and nearly
all in from fatigue and playing one
game, the locals came close to de
feating Scobey, which does not speak
well for a team that claims cham
pionship honors. The local boys took
1 second money in this tournament.
Last Sunday they defeated the
Sioux City Esquimoes by a score of
6 to 4 and the following day the Plen

Clark Forces Show Great Strength
The fact that Ayers was lifted from
seeming defeat to the threshhold of
victory is an evidence of the strength
of the Clark following in the state.
Under the brilliant editorship of Mar
tin Hutchins the Butte Miner began
to lay down a barrage against dom
ination of the state by the Anaconda
company, at the last moment. The
Miner came out strong for Rankin
on the Republican ticket and Ayers
on the Democratic ticket. The result
was that Rankin beat Dennis, the
compary candidate by a majority d
marly two to one while Ayers n 2 a.lv
edged Erickson out of the Governor's
chair.
Silver Bow Repudiates Campany
In Butte and Silver Bow county the
pocket borough of the Anaconda
company, the Clark forces won a big
victory. Under the shadow of the
sixth floor the Butte miners and bus
iness men staged a revolt that shook
the waters of Swan Lake, where Con
Kelly, Grand Duke of Montana, is now
spending worried days and sleepless
nignts . It is now generally conceded
th„l if W. A. Clark had
been as well
represented in the northern part and
eastern part of the state as he was ia
Missoula and Butte he would have
smashed the Anaconda machine.
Dixon Shows Great Strength
Despite the fact that Governor was
opposed by one of the strongest men
in the state, who put up a campaign
of surprising ability, the Missoula
man won the nomination for the U.
S. senate by a tremendous majority.
The size of the majority was all the
more surprisin'* when it is remember
ed that Gov. Dixon did not make much
of a primary campaign and that mo^t
of his friends in Silver Bow, Cas
cade and Hill Counties were over ix

An auto accident occurred Thursday
morning at the Muddy river which
might easily have proved serious. It
seems that the chauffeur with two
lady passengers forgot that the bank
of the Big Muddy was so close and
when he discovered the fact it was
over the bank and the car did the
rolling act coming up on its wheels
in the river. The man driver was
considerably shook up during the
tumble, but the ladies escaped with
nothing but a bad scare.
The car was hauled out üy a trac
