Former Senator Lenroot of Wis

the judgeship of the United States
Custom court of appeals confirme« by
the Senate. But the Senate is not
proud of it. It voted secretly. Len
root was tarnished just a little in the
early stages of the Teapot Dome deal
and later appeared at Washington
as lobbyist fior the public utility in
terests. It is only fair to Lenroot to
say he earned being put on the
bench, if fighting the Progressives
could earn him anything from the re
actionary Republicans. As a judge
on questions relative to customs and
patents, which is to be his work, it
is hard to see how he can help the
public utilities or the oil crowd. Len
root is not important. He is through

is a symptom of the times.

DAGMAR FARMER
PUNISHED FOR CON
TEMPT OF COURT
Victor Rydeen, w' l\ known Dagmar
farmer, was cited into court last week
for contempt for refusing to comply
with a court order ejecting him from
his farm which he had lost on execu
tion issued to satisfy a judgment se
cured against him by Minnesota par
ties on default of a note which he had
endorsed four or five years ago, found
guilty by Judge Hurley of - Glasgow
who came over last week to hear the
case for Judge Paul who disqualified
himself in the case, and sentenced to
serve five days in the county jail and
pay a fine of fifty dollars. The fine
was paid and the time served.
It seems that Rydeen when ordered
to leave the property last year refused
and farmed it and sold the crop and
that this year he again came hack to
the farm after being formerly ejected
by court order and started to farm
the place again, when the person who
bought the place at sheriff's sale was
notified by one of Rydeen's neighbors
and he took action to have Rydeen
cited.

the entire county, Judge J. J. Lynch
declared recently in a statement of
opinion given to clarify confusion
which has existed since the division
0 f the county into commissioner dis
tricts. It has been discovered that the
amendment does not specifically pro
vide for the manner of nominating a.
candidate fior the position of commis^
sioner.
In the absence of specific provision
for nomination, Judge Lynch said, the
general election laws of Montana ap
ply. Therefore he said, it is the in
tent of the amendment to require a
candidate for county commissioner,
although he must be a resident of a
particular district, to go before th«
entire county at a primary election.
