M ISSION ER ; It has been a well recognized principle in the past that in th e 1portant, ' selection of ■ County Commis. \ sioners each section of the coun ty should be considered, to the end that all may be served alike. Fairfield is the largest single voting precince in this county and the spirit of fair dealing ,i suggests that it be represented on the board, considering that the north end is rpresented by Commissioner Jones and the eastfend has now two m'embers, M r. Kerr, who - holds over, and M r. Crane, a candidate for re- election. Under the present ' condition Fairfield and vicinity is distinctly left out, but they are entitled to a vote in the conduct of the business affairs of the county cannot be disput ed. Fortunately, Fairfield has brought forward a , candidate fills the bill in all particulars, for its own good and for the good of the county. Algon U d - is the candidate so selected, having been a practical farmer in that community for the last 16 years, it goes without saying ( that he has acquired the know ledge of what is to the farm ers' interest in county affairs, and anyone who knows him can tell you that i f he is elected he will be on the job for, progressive ness,. efficiency and economy in all matters. H is name will be found in the democratic column. He never dodges an issue and will be an able assistant to Com missioners Jones and Kerr in transacting the county business with ability and dispatch. A great deal of interest is being taken in M r. Udin's candidacy, and if he is understood by the county at large as he is' amongst his neighbors there can .be no doubt as to the result. A vote for Udin is a Vote for the-right man . in the right place. . - A large and appreciative > audience enjoyed the piano recital given by Mr. Carl Wengart at the high school auditorium Tuesday night. Born, Thursday, October 30-, to Mr. anti Mrs. Edwin Anderson of Farm ington, a son. Mr. and Mrs. Lem Boss of Great Falls, visited Mrs. Ross’ mother, Mrs. Brant, last Sunday. A H EAD OR A FOOT? The matter of the election of an attorney general is an im almost, as any other issue in the present campaign. By the active use of “ Foot* work our former perennial candidate finds himself at last on the bal lot for an important office. This is not, exactly, a case where the office sought the man, as every body knows. The attorney gen eral of this state has something to do and we feel that Foot .is not the man to do it. As ex pressed by one competent to judge, not so long ago, “ Foot’s idea of heaven is “Nothing to do and an easy chair in which to do it.” On the other hand, M r. Carlson, the democratic tan didate, has a long line of legal victories to his credit, as a practitiner and as a county at torney in Gallatin county, as, also, a legislative record that redounds to his honor. In the notorious Danner murder case, although Attorney General Ran kin (not Assistant Foot) took part, the commissioners of Gal latin county found it necessary to employ M r. Carlson as a spec ial prosecutor. Everybody knows the result and that the most in human murderer ever heard of in Montana paid the supreme penalty for his crime, in spite of a mountain of legal quibbles and thanks to Mr. Carlson. A s a lawyer, M r. Carlson is a live wire and when he takes office the darkened windows will fur nish light, the lethargy of som nolence w ill disappear— and breakfast will be ready. Would you have as was aptly, suggest ed at Farmington the other night, a Head, or a Foot, in tfct office off the attorney genral? No matter i f there are TW O F E E T , the bead would still be lacking,, and a head has its pur poses.:,.- Db jO u w a h t a “M ajor” General, bY'an Attorney Genftr. al? -T h e answer i s obyious. r the ràdio àt » VviV V* v . * / \Flection over Ghoteaü--,Drug.

TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE THE SHERIFF “AL”,'o f tlie singled'track -mind, whangs away on thè- only discovery he claims to have made, and still in sists - that Reiquam has ‘‘saved’’ ?2,449’’ for the county- in his 21 months of ‘‘sei-vice.:’ He don’t deny that Martine- since prohibition went intb effect, gathered in arouhd $4000 mi' lines and forfeitures for the county, ahd don’t deny that, Reiquam' during his term has gathered in but $194.00, although he put the County to the ex pense of a $4000.00 term of Court last opmxg. and gathered in only $64.00 of the $194.00. Admit, for' the sake ui «.iguiucnt, tnai iveiquam “saved” the $2,449.00 for the county since he became the “Pooh Bah’’ , and figure out the difference between a sure enough sheriff and the joke who will continue in offiede until - the first Monday in January. Reiquam claims to nave Baved for the county by ason of the fact that he had no eputy, but he don’t give the reason why he didn’t ave the deputy. The reason was and is that Reiquam wants to HOG all the mileage him* •self and not divide with a deputy. A large part of Martine’s expense was mileage “earned’’ by Reiquam in ad dition to his salary as a deputy. If there was a useless expense ¡under Marline Reiquam gathered it in, for, if you cut out his salary and mileage, the figures would show that Martine’s administration was less iu expense than the present saturnalia ot ignor ance and greed. Martine got results —Reiquam got • results—not, but did get illegal mileage. The Acantha claims that Martine’s expenses were $2,449 more than Reiquam’s, but, to look over the record, it appears that Reiquam, as Martine’s deputy, got every d ----- cent of it. Reiquam was the fifth wheel iu the Martine admin istration and the Belf-operatlng merry go round in the present one. This is giving him all that imagination will allow, for everyone, knowB that from time.to time either Walt 'or - Al twists the tail off the wobbling'' jitney— what ¿Idly'don’t know-thee©' oBtbpoable Klaìraer» claim, to know,- and, so .fqjth.

EDYTHE SAYLOR Is Our County Superintendent, and a candidate for re-election. The time was when this office was quite a bone of contention, but thanks to the good sense of the people, the matter of of education is for the children, only, and is not now a political issue. In Mrs. Saylor’s hands the office of county superintendent has,been what ia was intended to be, and her re- election will be all to the good for the education of the coming genera tion. OBERT PETERSON is our county surveyor, and a good one. He has no opposition, and the only reason we mention his name is that he is too bashful to even hint at it himself. CARL' HANSON We don’t have to introduce Carl Hanson —everybody knows him. Carl knows what we want and his vote in the house is just as big as that Of Rboars who was elected to the senate and still hangs on to the job, al though an alien, so far as Montana* is concerned.
