♦ Never before in the history of Sher

such interest been manifested as in
the present contest being conducted
by The Producers News. The race
started with a bang and the contest
ants, have never ceased in their ef
forts to win the honor of representing
this county at the State Fair held at
Helena September 24 to 28 as Sheri

The candidates

and I take my position with a feeling
that the present contest promises to
be the best ever held in this county.
The contestants this year are
among the most popular and accom
plished young ladies in this county
and are showing great ability in this
contest.
The judges, Ed. Koser, Jerry Pow
(Continued on Parol
are out working like
a,jre among the
most popular girls in the county and
any one of them will do honor as
Sheridan's Princess and mayhap the
Queen of Montana.
The candidates and their friends
alize what a glorious time the win
ner in this contest will have at Hel
ena. The splendid times by former
princesses have been told and they all
declare that words cannot express the
event of their lives.
Nothing is to» good for the Prin
cesses at Helena. The girls are the
center of attraction wherever they go.
Their pictures appear in the big
daily papers of the state and they are
dined and feted at every turn. The

Another pioneer of Sheridan county
passed away last Monday when E. O.
Kallak of Reserve died at his home
near Reserve.
Deceased settled at Reserve many
years ago when Sheridan county was
still a part of Valley county, coming
to that community from Minnesota.
He wus very highly respected by all
who knew him and had the true pio
neer spirit of kindness to a stranger
in distress.
Mr. Kallak had been in poor health ,
for the past year never having fully ,
recovered from a stroke of paralysis i
which he suffered last spring. He !
was 73 yeafs of age at the time of |
his death. j
Decides his wife, deceased leaves '
six children to mourn his passing:
Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Eidsness, Mrs. Bom
stedt, John and Ray Kallak, all of
Reserve, and Bertha Kallak of Port
land, Oregon.

slighted and had not received notice
the meeting. L, S. said he sent
Um mtice but Joe was just as posi .
tivc that he didn't.
A^whispering campaign featured
the «oeeting with little groups gather
ing about the room casting suspicious
glances at each other and the word
spy was distinctly heard many times
as shifty eyes covered the room.
Taken all in all the meeting was a
distinct failure and the weakness of
the G. O. P. organization loomed up
as never before in Sheridan county.
The raising of campaign funds is
not meeting with the success expect
ed as many heavy contributors in the
pai§t refuse to have anything to do
with an organization headed by L.
S. Olson. 1
The excellent group of candidates
put up by the farmers and workers of
the cotinty has completely demoraliz
ed the old gang and their efforts to
get certain candidates to withdraw
from the race are not meeting with
the success anticipated. I
Among the more prominent republi- :
cans p re sent were Joe Dolin, Jack
Bennett, Ed. Powers, L. S.' Olson, i
Oscar Collins, Prank French and
Aage Larsen.

Losing Dailies in Order to T hrottle Dissenting Voices.
Cut Bank, Sept. 11.—Holding up a copy of the "Montana Dem
ocratic Circular" â campaign publication issued in October 1924,
and pointing to the pledge made by Gov. J. E. Erickson to wipe
out the state debt in four years and place Montana on a cash
basis, Wellington D. Rankin, in his first speech of the campaign
at Glacier Park, Monday eve-*
ning, declared that Gov. Erick
so r had utterly and completely

"I have an advance copy of the i
governor s speech to be delivered at

the statement made in October 1924, j
about reducing the debt provided a
friendly legislature was elected. j
Theie is not one word m his state- j
ment oi that year about a friendly
legislature; it was made without
qualification. He now weakly tries to
shift the blame to the legislature.
He made no efiort to stem the tide'
of indebtedness and he must take the
blame for a violated pledge," said
Rankin.
He gave figures showing the great
increase in revenues in the past four ;
years, from the Dixon inheritance, 1
metals mines and other taxes, total- |
ing $5,000,000. Erickson has had
more special tax money than any for

friends can deny that successfully,"
said the speaker. "He has simply
failed in the one big promise he made.
in 1924."
Rankin then lanuched into a blister

■ RULES
Several check forgers have been op
erating in northeastern Montana the
past few weeks and business men at
Froid, Medicine Lake and Plentywood
have been the victims.
The forgers enter a town and pre
sent a check on some well known
farmer and then disappear. Whether
it is the same parties passing the bad
checks is n»t known although the of
ficers are making a thorough investi
gation to discover this fact.
The pool halls and the City Cafe in
Plentywood are the latest victims.
One description given of the forgers
is that of a man about six feet tall
and a shorter man wearing white,
high topped boots.
