The Pot Is Boiling
Sheridan county
The line-up of the political parties in
is becoming more and more perfect.
come to the primaries the more amusing becomes the situa
tion.
While last week's Herald has a streamer across the
front page "Fusion Ticket Endorsed Here Tuesday" the
Medicine Lake Wave, speaking for the Republican party in
as big a streamer pronounces Mr. Polk's statement a he,
stating that "Staunch Republicans Launch Primary Cam
paign.

The editor of the Herald is making himself quite ri
diculous by showing too obviously his efforts to control the
entire show. To be the political boss of a county needs a
bigger personality than Mr. Polk can muster.

His statements that at the "joint meeting
s^nting voice was raised in opposition to the plan that
everybody file on the Democratic ticket must be taken with
a ton of salt. The Medicine Lake Wave declares that no
efforts had been made to even contact the Republican orga
nization for this "joint" meeting.

It may be possible for Mr. Polk and his group, Demo
crats or whatever they call themselves, to dupe a number ot
Sheridan county voters, but it seems rather doubtful to us
that his methods will find very many adherents.
In the meantime the Communist party is launching its
ticket Headed by Melvin Evenson, the candidates form one
solid group that is ready to give battle in the interests of
the impoverished farmers and workers. Not all of the candi
dates are members of the Communist Party, but all are men
and women who have no other aim but to see that farmers
and workers, the producers of all things, are put in the po
sition where they belong—on top of the world.
This election campaign i» a fight against parasites and
find plenty of those blood suckers everywhere, people who
... the sweat of the farmers and workers.
Again it will be up to the people of Sheridan county to
decide whether they want to put into office creatures that
are worse than grasshoppers, people who—as the example
shows—have neither political nor any other principle, oi
whether they prefer officials who rather give up any office
than relinquish an iota of their principles.

♦ * ♦ ♦
In the following we give the floor to Hans Rasmussen
who has something more to say about the boiling political
pot in Sheridan county.
Again last week Harry Polk comes out and does all he
can to misrepresent the political situation in Sheridan coun
tv by stating in streaming headlines that the two old parties
are only going to run one ticket, the Democratic ticket.
That Harry Polk doesn't live in the county and is not
familiar with our local situation could perhaps be used as an
excuse for such misrepresenting statements. But Harry
Polk knows better, he is just playing another one of his
political tricks.
After having stolen the Democratic ticket from the
Democratic committee and having filled it with the court
house bunch and a few office seekers and political renegades
Polk and Oscar Collins are now doing their best to keep the
monopoly on that ticket without even consulting the leading
Republicans in the county.
The Republican party has always been the leading party
in the county, and there is no reason in the world why they
should not run their own ticket now and that is just what
they 3 X 6 going tof do. ThG Ropublic^n Conmuttoo is busy
right at this time getting ready for a full ticket to be filled
and run at the primary.
How well informed or how wilfully he is misrepresent
ing things, is shown by Harry Polk s statement, repeated
several times, that Hans Madsen was not going to run for
sheriff. We knew all the time that Madsen was not going
to give up his soft job voluntarily, and now he comes out
and files on the Polk-Collins ticket along with Niels P. Miller,
the blacksmith of Medicine Lake.
These two are not going to be the only ones fighting for
the job as sheriff. The one Harry Polk would like to see m
that office is Franc Murray,, But, Polk knows that Muiry
can not be elected. The one who gets the support of Polk
Collins and Mainstreet is the one who will agree to take
Franc Murray in as undersheriff and let him have full con
trol of the office, just as he has had it while Hans Madsen
had the official position. . tt i a r
The most amusing thing so far is that Andrew Ueland of
Outlook is coming out filing for State Senator on the Demo
cratic ticket. Like everybody else, who happens to be sent
to Helena for a term or two, Andrew Ueland thinks he has
great political ability. He is now looking for a promotion.
Being a good "Republican" all these years, he has now
made a political turn and joined the Democratic ranks, there
by doublecrossing his party and his political friend Lars
Àngvick. Of course, Andrew hasn't much show of being
elected, but, if anything like that should happen, he will just
lie laughed at in Helena and regarded as a renegade and a
doublecrosser.
At this time nobody knows yet the full perfect lineup of
the two tickets. Filing is open to anybody until June 16.
From the look* of things there will be plenty of candidates
to choose from on both tickets at the primary election

DILUNGER'S DILEMMA
BY ROBERT FORSYTHE #
The Dillinger case is a serious,
affair and should be handled in a 1 at

is particularly an error from the
radical point of view because What
ever Dillinger may have been, he '
is definitely a public menace now j
and any attempt to make him a
modem Robin Hood will only play i
into Ihe hands of those who are !
anxious to connect Communism
with rowdyism and general disre- >
spect for the law. But even the
geneial press with all its cries for
vengeance has not been able to j
keep a straight face. The spec
tack, for example, of the Ohio
State penitentiary barricading it
self lest Dillinger break in is ,
obviously something which Would
