Department Party at Glasgow
Glasgow.—Sen. J. W. Schnitzler of
Froid, recently elected republican na
tional committeeman for Montana,
was a member of the party accom
panying Secretary of the Interior
West on his tour of eastern Montana
projects.
While in Glasgow Friday morning
Mr. Schnitzler called on several prom

the opinion that Montana would be
among western states in the Hoov

The new national committeeman is
one of the largest operators in tho
farming game in Montana and
turned to his home from Malta to
superintend the harvesting of a crop
which is estimated will yield about
200,000 bushels.

COUNTY EXHIBIT AT
MONTANA STATE FAIR
Sheridan county will again have a
display at the Montana State Fair at
Helena, Sept. 24 to 28. The nature
of the exhibit that will be sent from
this count> will be somewhat differ
ent from those sent in the past, in
that it will be a strictly advertising
in nature for Sheridan county. Coun
ty Agent Ferguson who is in charge
of the exhibit with the assistance of
Steve Slate and Harry DeSilvia, are
working on designs that will advertise
two of Sheridan County's major crops,
namely, spring wheat and flax. The
last five years this county ranked
first in comparison with all other
counties in the state in the produc
tion of flax. For the past two years
ranked second in the production of
spring wheat. Mr. Ferguson is cap
italizing on these facts and these two
crops will be the feature of the state,
fair exhibit. The plans for this ex
hibit were worked out early in the
summer and submitted to several au
thoritles on display work in the state
and it was their opinion that such an
exhibit would be of an excellent ad
vortising scheme for Sheridan county.
The entire collection will be brought
back from Helena and will be placed
exhibit at the Sheridan county fair
which will be held from October 10 bo
on
12.

REGULARS READY
TO WAGE BATTLE
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Bismarck, Sept. IS.—North Dakota
republicans today had split over the
question of supporting Herbert Hoov

The nonpartisan league faction of
on record as refusing
to endorse Hoover's candidacy while
the independent republicans are back
ing him.
The action
the party wa-s
yesterday at a
meeting, called to organize the repub
lican state central committee. The In
dependents offered a resolution en
dorsing Mr. Hoover and his stand on
agriculture. This vote was defeated
camr
by a vote of 19 to 9.
As a result, the independents or
"regular republicans" organized sep
arately and decided to carry on a vig
°rous campaign for the national tick
HH
. The nonpartisans in their résolu
criticized Mr. Hoover as a "tool
°* business" and asserted that the
re P u . h * ican party had strayed from its
1 ^riginal course. The resolutions made
^ dear that the action was intended
i 4,0 8 ^ ow a hud* of faith in the republi
can party and its candidates rather
than an endorsement of A1 Smith,
The "regulars" were defeated by
the committee members from districts
which had been hostile to the present
Coolidge administration and the nom
ination of Mr. Hoover,
The democratic state central com
mittee also met yesterday and unani
mously placed its approval on the
party's national platform and ticket
headed by A1 Smith for president and
J. T. Robinson for vice president,
The question of agricultural relief
is the great issue before the people,
acording to the committee's resolution
which added that "the democratic

MONTANA VOTERS
(Continued from page One)
the state are offering ample oppor
tunity for the candidates to meet and
address voters.
Republican State Chairman Hallett
Brown of Billings has opend state
headquarters in the Montana building,
Helena, and expects his organization
to get into full swing this week.
Charles T. Nevin, state chairman for
the democratic party, said, following
the state meeting, that he would get
his organization into action as soon
as it can be completed.
Interest in the national campaign
was heightened by announcements
that Montana voters will hear both
Gov. A1 Smith and Sen. Charles E.
Curtiss. Gov. Smith will speak at
Helena Sept. 24 and will make brief
stops but no speeches at Billings and
Butte. Senator Curtis plans to speak
at Hardin and Billings.
At Hardin, in the center of the
Crow and North Cheyenne Indian
country, it is expected that the sena
tor himself of Indian ancestry, will
attract much attention from the na
tive population. An effort is being
made to induce Mr. Hoover to visit
Montana toward the close of the cam
paign as he returns from the east to
California to vote.
In the meantime the national
cam
paign is getting under way. Under
the general supervision of Dr. T. J
B. Shanley of Butte, Smith clubs are
being organized by Lester Loble of
Helena apd Mrs. R. C. Battey of Bil
lings; Democratic veterans clubs by
Johin Mahan of Helena, and First Vo
ters clubs in the interests of the same
party by E. Pat Kelly of Livingston.
Nor is the doctrine of the brown
derby the only one to be impressed
on the voters, J. J. Wuerthner, state
senator from Cascade county, heads a
volunteer Hoover-Curtiss organization
with Mrs. J. E. Patton of Great Falls
as vice chairman; W. J. Paul of Deer
Tx)dge and W. R. Flaschenhar of Ter
ry, chairman in their respective con
gressional districts, and a dozen
prominent citizens included in the ex
ecutive committee.
