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. Billings, Mont,, Sept. 24.—George teSto death 0 ' T I ÎJm U Cla 1 rk n of U\ burned to death, lom Clark of Liv mgston, Mont., received bums from which he is not expected to recover, and Clarence Urie of Livingston was seriously injured when an airplane piloted by Urie burst into flames at 11 o'clock this morning when it made a forced landing on the outskirts of Laurel 16 miles from here. Witnesses of the accident say that the plane was volplaning down, with the motor shut off, the pilot appar ently searching for a place to land, when it suddenly descended from low altitude struck the ground heavi ly and immediately burst into flames. With clothes ablaze, the pilot and two passengers ran from the burn ing wreckage.

Clark was so badly burned about the face and chest that little hope is held out for his recovery. Both he and Urie were given emer gency treatment at Laurel and then rushed to the hospital here. Clark is 31 years old and married. Schneider is the son of a Columbus couple and was employed as a me chanic in a Livingston garage. The plane, owned by Clark, was returning to Livingston from the air port dedication ceremonies at Miles City and flew over Billings en route 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 quiries as to its identity.

In the evening the fourth set speech of the campaign delivered at the Shrine Temple. Sen. Wheeler in was _ . . . troduced Sen. Walsh, and Sen. Walsh introduced Gov. Smith, with wild applause. The Governor delivered a phillipic upon the corruption of the republican party. After the speech, the special train pulled out over the Great Northern line for the city of Butte, where 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 half, where Smith was greeted by a small crowd. 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 crats to have been a huge success and they claim that sentiment is fast crystallizing for the famous New York er. Gov. Smith received a very splendid reception in Montana. line, on 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 y « 'The record of these seven and a half y<iarS ""VY*'? ° f rare courage and leadership and con structive action.' "Does he want the American pi e to believe that that record means moral courage or constructive lead ership?" Governor Smith asked. don't think so. "He said: 'Never has a political party been able to look back upon a similar period with more satisfac a You can exam ti .. a half I 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." erim f r e SmHh°wdll li go t to e Butt e e re for' 0 an hour ' s stop Tuesd *y afternoon, be f ore turning east for addresses i St Paul Thursday mVbf and in Mil pe°-|waukee Saturday mVbt ' " ^ !

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. P. F. OF A.
