IS Mere we engaged in some business that could be con ducted only by corrupting officials, we would support the ticket spin sored by the Producers News. Every man. when casting his vote, gives more or less consideration to his own economic interest." wails the Herald. Well do Polk. Collins and L. S. Olson know this, further from Mr. Polk's Herald: "Were w>? engaged in running a honkey-tonk, gambling den or 'other illegitimate business we would support the Pro ducers News and its candidates. Mr. Polk, and Mr. Collins, anti Joe Dolin, are net interested in running "honky-tonks"—they are only interested in patronizing them, or making a "honky-tonk", whatever that is, out of the school room—if they were only interested in running one they would sup port the Producers News or the Producers News ticket. We don't know much about "honky-tonks," bat w p o. guess that Mr. Polk does from what we- can learn of him—rind Joe Dolin is said to know where everyone in this end of the state is locate*.!. We doubt if a candidate on the Independent ticket knows mut'h about Honky-Tonks" nor the candidates of the republican ticket either for that matter—not one-tenth as much as Mr. Po'k does. The editor of the Producers News neither patronizes "honky tonks" nor visits them. There may be such a thing in the.county— if there is Mr. Polk arid his outfit no doubt know all about it—and if there is, it mo doubt is nearly as respectable as some of the activities that Mr. Polk has been engaged in from what wc can !c »n. "Were we toting a gun inside our shirt or in our hip pockets we would support that newspaper and candidates— we d>o not blame that element for supporting the candidates sponsored by Editor Taylor and the Producers News. It coddled them and protected them and gave them every aid and comfort and is entitled to their support. AnH they will respond on election day and cast their votes solidly for these Candidates." An',1 quoting (i The above is also from the Herald. This is a sample of the har angue in that paper untler the title of "Keep the issue clear." Now Mr. Polk says, "It coddled and protected them and gave" them every aid and comfort." We do wish Mr. Polk would be mare specific if he does not consiUer it too personal,. We have lived in Plentywood ten years. We never carried a gun ourself in shirts or i.i pants. None of our frientls carry guns. We don't know who carries guns—Mr. Polk and Mr. Collins, ho doubt, knows all tof these men if there are any such men about. Mr. Polk ought to name the time, place, person, gun toter that the Producers News coddles. We don't believe statements of this sort are very convincing to any one, even though made in the Plentywood Herald by a character like Mr. Polk. It may be that there are men carrying concealed weapons about Plentywood. If there are, there are plenty of police on the city pay roll to take care of them, and if there is a law aigainst such things, it is available to these officers. We believe that all of the storm of the Herald about concealed weapons is the product of the prolific imagination of the editors of the Herald—no citizen has ever complained to the editor of the Pro ducers News about anybody carrying weapons, avid we don't believe v anybody on the streets of Plentywood is going about armed to the teeth. It is time for change. It is long time for that ». change but during the past few years the people have ha'J no means of securing any publicity on the necessity of that change. Its only avenue of news was clogged with a smoke screen of filth and a tirade of abuse in the columns of the Producers News." Wow, what a slap at the Medicine Lake Wave, the Redstone Res view, and Editor Nelson, for the Herald has been published ever since the Producers News was founded. Now things are going to be different, there is going to be some real publicity, some powerful arguments, right hot from the pen of Harry Polk and L. S. Olsen— ** Harry fresh fro mhis exploits Aver at Bowbells is now prepared for any and all, and Harry will keep the issue clear. This paper goes on to say: WT have seen the most vicious propaganda imaginable spread against the local business men and farmers who dif fer with the gang controlling the county administration. We have seen attempts at highpacking and blackmailing of men who try to conUuct a legitimate business, all because they could not see fit to support such policies. Again the Herald tells what they have seen generally but it does not name one person, one time or one place. Now there is no issue involved in all of this stuff. The Herald continues further; - Then to consiMer your pocketbook, we have, since the organized gang got full control, had the most expensive county government in the state—the most extravagant, the most inefficient and the most corrupt. This statement we absolutely challenge—we ask the Herald edi tor and any of his associates to go to the platform an|d prove the above, or one word of it. Nobody knows better than the editor of the Herald that the farm ers administration of Sheridan County has not had control of th« board of county commissioners for the past two years, and that that administration only hold what might be called a control of that board for less than two years—from 1924 until 1926—and even before that time Mr. Iverson left the farmers' organization and moved over to Mr. French. Mr. Polk doesn't know much about officers in Sheridan County yet—he has not been here very long, but if he knows any thing he knows that Sheridan is the best administered county in the, state, bar none. In the above statement, again the Herald makes general statement but does not name a specific instance of non-effi ciency, or extravagance. Again we ask, wouIU it not be better to state specific things and instances? And, finally, the Herald says; Since the people rescued a few of the offices from the gang there has been some improvement. Our commissioners are doing everything possible to get the county back on its feet. When the county board began to make it harder for the gang, the county treasurer was robbed by another Toute, but just as honorably as it was being robbed by the gang from the inside. This parting shot says nothing. The county commissioners have tried to reHeem the county, so the Herald says, but it does not say how. It does not mention a specific thing the commissioners have done or what designs of the former administration they have defeat ed. It only speaks generally and what is said is meant for the minds of tools. And at the en'd of the paragraph it makes remarks about the-^unty robbery, saying that the hold up of the treasury was more honorable than the robbery that had been going on before. Yes let the Plentywood Herald keep the issues clear, whatever thev are. It seems that the issues are that the farmers candidates should be defeated because Mr. Polk and his fnen s think, It is timC Of course, we expect the Herald will discharge double.barrels of iust such stuff each week until election is over, hut agam we say, think a better man than Mr. Polk should handle the shot gun. u (V .. •• we ordered it returned farl West, proprietor of the West, farmers business trip to Opheim j Opheim, whf s "P™ a J a ™"?'>o" was found to be caked, and had be picked out.

He is | the candidate on the Independent ticket for Clerk of Court, which has the endorsement of the Progressive Farmers' forces in Sheridan county. Mr. Bye came to Sheridan county and squatted on his homestead north- ! east of Dooley, next to the Canadian 1 boundary in 19C9, and in 1910 moved his family here from Conway, N. D. and has resided here continuously since. Despite the fact that Mr. Bye had no farming experience before filing on his homestead he has made his farming venture a success. His success is due to his natural en ergy and industry and more than or- B dinary ability and the splendid asisst- H ance of his family, and the every day n co-operation of his neighbors due to H the good feelings they all entertained p for Walter Bye. *| Mr. Bye has a family of six chil- | dren, three boys and three girls. He r is an old timer in theis county and I has a large acquaintance and is well I and favorably known. Hr was deputy ;l j assessor under Oie Aspelund two P 1 years before the "honor system" was jtf put into vogue. Mr. Bye is well qualified tovfill the R office of Clerk of Cmr.t. He has not | aspired for any public office previ- ' g ously but has always unselifshly giv- ; en his services to the farmers' organ- ; izations. His friends are working hard for him.
