City Where Governor is Personally
Known to Majority of Inhabitants
Gives Big Surprise.
Whitefish, Oct. 16.—That Governor
Erickson will come out of his home
county November 6 with a greatly
reduced majority over that of four
years ago is indicated by a straw vote
being conducted by a local newspa
per.
Results of the first week's voting
show Erickson to have a lead of only
five votes over Rankin, his republi
can opponent. The vote was, Erick
son 69 and Rank .64.
Normally Democratic
^ Whitefish is a railroad town in
lathead county and has approxi
mately 1300 registered voters. It is i
normally democratic by a majority I
varying from 100 to 200. Four vears !
ago it gave Erickson a 2 to 1 vote in j
the general election. Kalispell, Er- i
ickson's home, is only 16 miles dis- ;
tant. The governor is personally
known to perhaps half of the adult ;
population here, which makes '
remarkable the strength shown by I
Rankin.

Change to Rankin
It seems impiobahle that Erickson i
will get near the 1200 majority in ■
Flathead county this year that* he i

to Rankin among the farmers of the i
county as well as among the rail- j
road workers and business men, it is |
said.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE
AT PUBLIC LIBRARY
This morning at 7:30 an explosion |
of the furnace in the basement of tlie 1
Sheridan County Public Library set |
fire to the ceiling and walls necessi
tating the calling of the fire depart
ment. The fire was quickly subdued
with slight damage to the building.
The boom of the explosion and the
instantaneous issue of smoke from the
basement was seen and heard by men
nearby who turned in the fire alarm.
Furnace Causes Small Fire
at Frank Guenther Home
A second time this (Fridav) morn
ing the shrill blast of the fire siren
broke the stillness of the air at about
8:30. calling the fire department to
the home of Frank Guenther in the
east part of the city. It seems that
in some way the furnace had ex
ploded. The fire was quickly ex
tinguished with small loss.
LEAVE FOR CALIFORNIA
John Gross, Martin Gross, Bud
Shaw and- Mr. Montgomery left in
two cars Wednesday with California
as their destination and where they
intend to spend the winter. They
stated they were much in need of a
rest and that the warm balmy climate
of California with its sunshine and
ocean breezes, where northern state
hot house flowers grow in the front
yards the year round, and the sun
maid raisins and bathing beauties ate
produced, was the most attractive
spot to go to to while away the next
few months.
Plentywood Auto Company
Is Moving Into New Home
The Plentywood Auto Company has
been busy this week moving into
their new building across the street
from the Ingwalson Co. Store.
The new garage building is up-to
date in every respect and one of the
finest structures of its kind in Plen
tywood.
It will take some time before the
equipment is finally placed into po
sition, but when the work is com
pleted that enterprising firm will
be ready to take care of their many
patrons in the most modern ways of
business as it is conducted in cities
much larger than Plentywood.
WRECKS NEW CAR
Monday afternoon east of Redstone
J. C. Wigmore, accompanied by his
wife had an automobile accident that
might have proved more disastrous.
They were driving at a good rate
of speed and upon striking a rough
stretch of road and turning out for
another car Mr. Wigmore, who was
at the wheel lost control and the new
1929 Nash shot across the road and
crashed into the steep bank, tipping
over. The radiator was completely
demolished, the frame twisted and
axles sprung and the steering wheel
broken. Mr. Wigmore sustained
cracked rib but Mrs. Wigmore was
uninjured but more or less frighten
ed and alarmed for the safety of her
husband.

Under the caption, "Keep the issues clear," a harangue about the
Producers News, its editors and the Sheridan County officials ap
peared in the Plentywood Herald last week.
It is exactly the same sort of bla that has appeared against the
larmier candidates during every campaign for the .past ten years.
A lot of good space was used making insinuations, assertions and
allegations and telling what that paper was going to tell between
now and election day and what it was going to prove, too, by heck,
between now and November 6, so that the voters of Sheridan county
will know just how to vote.
However, the Herald Editor did not offer one iota of proof, not
a scintilla if you please, to prove at least one of its broad assertions—
and it wont, li will just continue making assertions and insinuations
from now on until election day with the hope that the voters will
believe hold assertions, even though maliciously false if they are
repeated often enough, and screamed loud enough.
The Herald is not going to deal in pe*sonulities at all—it is go
ing to confine itself to issues—though it confesses that the Producers
News will make a usual campaign of this sort; any the Herald is not
going to be dissuaded from making the campaign by any personali
ties that the Producers News may indulge in—no siree sir!
Well, we will just let Mr. Polk and his cohorts hop to it—do your
best and show your stuff. A lot of people have been waiting for a
Saviour just like Polk for some time. When you arrived in Plenty
wood Mr. Pialk you were sure welcome. Quite a number have been
wanting a change so bad that they were willing to spend a little
change to get this change arid Mr. Polk seems to have gathered in
the change.
Now if the people want to change the personnel of the county
officers, they will have an opportunity to do so election day—the
voters will make the change and they will have to pay the price—
personally it will make no difference to the Producers News... We
shall live and thrive by putting out the best paper in Northeastern
Monatna as we have in the past. We have felt the thrill of many
political victories in Sheridan county, we will try to smile, though
every man on the Independent Ticket is defeated which will not oc
cur—at least we hope not.
The HeraiU says it has no ax to grind—that it has no economic
interest to serve in this election—that it is actuated only by benevo
lent and altruistic ideals: it only wants the people of Sheridan
county to have a change, for it says that it is
'-ere.
North Dakota.
eral \ears that the time has arrived for a change, and made about
the same sort of insinuations and allegations there as he did in the
Plentywood Herald last week, but somehow or other he has never
been able to make much impression on the farmers over there, for
they ha.v- -ani-Lunp ri reluming the "farmers gang" to office and re
fusing to ralkswmmon
after year.': f&r. P^lk and Burley Bowie**s paper, the Plentywood
Herald, is ftou* a candidate for a new county printing contVact next
June, nor is that paper seeking to secure the sheriff's legate nor the
patronage of the Clerk of Court's office—no Mr. Polk only wants a
change, just for the purpose of having a change. Mr. Polk does not
like the conditions that exist in Plentywood or Sheridan county—
that was the reason why he chose to come here,
places where a change is needed.
Niow, maybe things are not just as pure as they should be about
Plentywood, not quite dean enough for instance .for Mr. Polk, but
yet from what we can learn of Mr. Polk, we don't believe that he is
a man to come over tto Plentywood and Commence heaving too many
boulders about among the glass houses. We »don't believe that a man
who quit teaching school at Bowbells, North Dakota, because of al
leged intimate relations with youn,g and tender school girls, a man
who was compelled to return money to the teachers' employment
fund of North Dakota that he had taken, and who was caught
teaching on a fake certificate, and whose certificate to teach was
finally annulled by Miss Minnie J. Nielsen, superintendent of public
instruction of North Dakota for low, indecent and immoral coriduct in
the high schools at Williston, a man Mho was kicked out of the Ma
sonic lodge at Bowbells because of his questionable conduct, is just
time for a change"
Mr. Polk's home is down at Williston, in Williams county.
He has been telling the voters down there for sev
He is looking foi
come Plentywood and commence to make changes here
It may be that Ellen Johnsion's chicken ranch is not just operat
ed along the classy ideas of Mr. Polk, but he might talk to her about
it, and if he is nice, he might persuade her to "change
his fastidious taste, we don't know. *
Yes, somehow or other we believe that Mr. Polk is presuming
just a little on the people of Plentywood when he starts talking about
'moral conditions here. Some of the people here may be pretty
bao, but they are just a little better at least than our friend Mr
Polk.
it to suit
\Ve are not going to call the Republican candidates, Mr. Polk's
candidates or Mr. Dolin's candidates—for we know that they are not
°f men . a }. all—they are good men and are only unfortunate
Mr t p«iL aVIT li g M f t Ä e , Ir cJaadldac î es fostered by men of the brand of
Mr. Polk and Mr. Dolin. They deserve better things.
Now when Mr. Polk arrived in Plentywcdl, he surrounded him
self with whom? Why with such fine, upright citizens as Oscar Col
lins, Jack O'Grady, L. S. Olson and others of that sort. Mr. Polk
surrounded himself at once with other men who want a change^—men
of fine moral fibre and an inspiration to anyone. Of course if a per
son calls attention to these people who want a change, that is what
Mr. Polk calls personality.
It seems to us that when any person makes the pretenses made
by Mr. Polk, or those who surround him, or prints the insinuations
about others that Mr. Polk has printed, it is no more than right or
proper, that the history, the character, the motives of the men mak
ing the insinuations!, should be looked into in odder to see if they
are the sort of men deserving of public confidence—the sort of _
who by their lives and examples are qualified to criticize others,
to lead better government crusades.
We have referred to the activities of Mr. Polk: we do not need
-to mention the life of Oscar Collins. Everybody knows the sort of
man that Oscar is. Every person knows just how clean and moral he
is—if there is a bigger booze guzzler in the whole county we don't
know him—if there is a man lower we don't know of him. But ev
eryone knows about Oscar. The lowest, meanest man in Plentywood
stands head and shoulders above Oscar Oollins. Then there is Jack
O'Grady—considerable better type than Oscar, but a man who con
fessed to stealing $2100 of the money paid to him on county seed
notes—and finally there is L. S. Olsen, who, when about to be caught,
returned a lot of the money to the county treasurer which he had
collected from liquor violators who were tried before him when he
justice—there was other money that was not turned in. This
L. S. Olsen and Oscar Collins prarfically make their home over in
the Herald office: in fact it is said by many that L, S. Olsen is act
ing as editor and publicity man over in the Herald office. Associated
with these men are L. J. Onstad, who was once county attorney, and
who was mixed up with his brother George in doing Sheridan county
out of a carload of flax, and only turned the draft over to the coun
ty treasurer when they were caught with it in their possession.
These are the jnen Mr. Polk has associated with him in his efforts
to bring about a change in Sheridan county—what a change we will
have with Mr* Polk.
Now, to commence with. The Herald says the Independent Ticket
is the Producers News ticket. It is, in that the Producers News is
supporting it,, but that is all. ..The Producers News did not have a
thing to do with the selection of the ticfcet. ..The farmers, the organ
ized farmers, by their delegates duly selected, picked out and en
dorsed this ticket. The Producers News, the fanners' paper, is sup
porting that ticket. ..The Herald boldly insinuates that all of these
men are bad men because the farmers nominated them and the Pro*
ducers News is supporting them.
We ask the Herald what is bad about Robert Larson, and what
with Nels Sundsted. We ask Mr, Polk what he knows
