RANKIN DECLARES
FOR INDEPENDENT
People, Not Interests, Should Be in
Control—Republican Candidate for
Governor Defines Paramount Issue
Before the Voters in November.
Butte, Sept. 22.—United States Dis
trict Attorney Wellington D. Rankin,
republican candidate for governor of
Montana, was in Butte today greet
ing his many friends who are en
thusiastic over his candidacy. He
heard glowing reports of conditions
in Silver Bow county, indicating that
his strength in Butte is increasing
constantly and that Governor Erick
'• son is no stronger here than he was
in the primary election.
Paramount Issue
"The paramount issue fn Montana
today," Mr. Rankin said, "is the re
turn of the state government from
, corporate control to control by the
' people.
yy
The fundamental principle that
government must be of the people,
for the people, and by the popple,
is as true today as when first enun
ciated by Abraham Lincoln. Govern
ment belongs not to any special in
terest but to the people.
Lincoln saw and knew that a gov
ernment that is not responsive to the
people can not permanently endure.
Montana's state government under
the present administration has not
been independent but it has been
more completely dominated by spe
.. cial interest than any administration
in the history of the state."
The Free Press
Mr. Rankin referred to the birth of
The Montana Free Press today as an
excellent sign of better times in Mon
tana journalism. He said:
il
it
The
• Free Press should be welcomed with
open arms by the people of this state
as an independent, fearless vehicle
for the expression of opinion. I have
no doubt of its immediate and com
plete success," he said.

Clark is 31 years old and married.
Schneider is the son of a Columbus

The plane, owned by Clark, was
returning to Livingston from the air

west shortly after Governor Smith's
special train stopped here. As the
plane passed over, members of the
Smith party looked up and made in

The Governor delivered a phillipic upon the corruption

After the speech, the special train pulled out over the

Governor spent the afternoon and then left on the
Northern Pacific for St. Paul, where Smith delivered his
fifth talk, from where he went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The train stopped at Bismarck, N. D., for an hour and a

Gov. Erickson accompanied Gov. Smith to the State
Sen. Wheeler to St. Paul, and Sen. Walsh, who is
Gov. Smith's special advisory committee, accompanied
the democratic candidate back to New York.
The Governor's western trip is believed by the demo

sentiment is fast crystallizing for the famous New York

SENATOR WALSH INTRODUCES GOVERNOR SMITH
Helena, Sept. 24.—With such blunt terms as "treason," "official
corruption and crime," and "intrigue," Governor Smith Monday
night assailed the republican administration of national affairs
since 1920 and declared the republican party cannot dodge respon
sibility for the oil lease frauds and other acts of wrong doing.
The democratic presidential
nominee again sailed into Her
ber Hoover. Stressing that his
opponent during the last seven
and a half years was in the cabinet,
Smith asserted that no one in the
United States knows better than he
the "real" record of that period.
"You can search the record from one
end to the other," Smith told the
crowd packed into the Shrine Temple
and those throughout the nation lis
tening in by radio,
ine it in the minutest detail and you
will fail to find a single word of
condemnation on his part.
On the contrary, in his speech of
acceptance, let us see what he said
about the last seven and

"He said: 'Never has a political

tion.*
"Does Mr. Hoover want the people
of the United States to believe that
he looks back over that period with
satisfaction ? Now it won't do for,
them to pass that on to the chairman'and
of the republican national commit
tee; he is the only one who can ans
wer that."
Turns to Mellon
After he reveiewed the oil lease
disclosures, the New York governor
brought up the liquidation of a re
publican national committee cam
paign debt through use of Liberty
bonds, "proceeds of the oil deal," In
this connection he criticized Secre
tary Mellon for chossing, "to con
ceal" from Senate investigators the
fact that he had been offered a
batch of these securities, but had de
clined to be a party to such a deal.
While he sailed into the republi
cans, with the crowd frequently ap
plauding and cheering, Governor
Smith was flanked on the stage by
Senators Walsh and Wheeler of Mon
tana. Walsh, who was prosecutor of,
the senate oil investigation, lives in j
Helena. He introduced the nominee,
often applauded his thrusts, and at
the end grasped his hand as he
congratulated him.
Governor Smith followed his pre
pared text more closely than in any
of his campaign speeches thus far.
After he had wound up, the crowd
gave him a noisy ovation, and de
manded speeches from the two sen
ators, Neither responded at any
length, but J. Bruce Kremer, demo
cratic national committeeman from
this state, who is traveling with Gov
ernor Smith, delivered a brief speech
that repeatedly brought wild shouts
of approval from the audience.
The Shrine temple, where Govern
or Smith spoke Monday night, has
seating accommodations tor 3,000
persons. It was packed and several
thousand more men and women lis
tened in from the banquet room in
the basement and from outside the
hall. More than 30 radio stations
were hooked up for broadcasting the
meeting.
The New York governor dined at
the Montana club, after returning
from the fair grounds where he went
on his arrival here. On his way to
the temple, he stopped at the gov
ernor's mansion for Mrs. Smith, who
had been the dinner guest of Gov
ernor Erickson's wife.
The democratic presidential nom
inee received a round of cheers as
he walked on the stage. With him
were Senators Walsh and Wheeler
and Governor Erickson,
who ran for vice president on the
La Follette ticket in 1924,, and is -
candidate for re-election as a demo
crat, introduced his senatorial col
league, who was given a hand by his
home town folks. Walsh, in turn,
introduced Governor Smith whom he
termed the "most engaging person
ality in American public life today."

RECORD BARLEY YIELD
BY MEDICINE LAKE MAN
A new record has been made in
raising barley on dry land farming
by Leon Albert at Medicine Lake.
Last week Mr. Albert threshed ■
field of two-row registered Horn
bailey which yielded 75 bushels per
acre.
Mr. Albert emigrated from Iowa
two years ago and finds farming
Montana very interesting although
is much different than in Iowa.
As usual the old settlers are al
ways giving advice as to kind
grains to grow and methods of farm
ing. But when they came to Barle
they had no faith in it as a profitable
crop. But Mr.. Albert was not satis
fied and was filling to try it himself
and with his own method and as
result it yielded more profitably than
wheat. Besides being interested
grain farming he also has a nice he.d
of high grade Holstein cattle, poultry
and hogs.
