Bermann | The Hart machine —whteh, | whatever else one may think | was for a time as efft 1 smoothly:ra organization a» was the German army that ran roughshod over Bolgium — is cracked straight thru the center and is likely to fall apart at any moment, | ‘This is the word being passed about In so-called “confidenttal” | republican circles—and, for once at least, there seems be more truth than poetry to a political rumor, It's & well known fact that practt cally all of the elective officers of | the state administration are up In Jarms against Gov, Louis F. Hart be | cause of hia betrayal of trust in rob bing them of what they consider thelr rightful powers, thru passage of the administrative code, And poll ticlans who are in a position to know | expect open revolt to break out with in the next few weeks-—before the/ legigiature adjournas, in any event As matters stand now, according to goaaip, all the elective officers are about at the end of thelr patience. | Under the Hart code, tho they were | supposedly elected by the people to} positions of high trust and responsi: | bility, they can’t so much as buy @ }lead pencil without running to the department of efficiency or some! similar bureau to ask for permis sion. And if any of their few re/ maining powers are taken away from | them by the governor, they're going | to kick over the traces, singly or col lectively, just as surely aa the sun will rise tomorrow, | fven if Hart makes his peace | with them—which, according to all the dope, is highly untikely— ft Is more than probable that at least one of them will bolt from the machine anyway. And that would mean total disruption—for, after the recent Poindexter flas- co, the Hart organization couldn't survive even a single important | defection. |} Such a defection would take differ jent forms, according to who happen: | ed to be the bolter. At least two of the present supposedly Hart lieutenants are potential candidates for governor themselves—Land Commissioner Clark Savidge and Auditor C. W. Clausen. It ts doubtful whether 3. Grant Hinkle, secretary of , state, would consider guberna- torial honors, and Mrs. Jose phine Corliss Preston, state su- perintendent of schools, certainty will not run. But they could make it extremely unpleasant for Hart, even without becoming candidates. But the potential can@idactes pre- sent most interesting possthilittes. Suppose, for instance, that Auditor | Clausen decides to throw his hat into the ring. One can imagine him tak ling the stump and saying something like this: “T've been auditor for a good many years, and I could probably continue to be for # good many years more—- because I've always received a pretty flattering vote at the polls. And that’s what I'd like to do—be- cause I like the job. But I've decided that the time has come for me to| sacrifice my personal inclinations In | the Interest of the common people. | I've seen as much Hart mismanage ment as I can stand—and I bellew) it's my duty to point out the error of | his ways.” | And then, being In a position where he Is legally entitled to examine into all the actions of the Hart adminis tration, how he could go after the governor! Savidge would make no less inter. esting a candidate. He may not have all the statistical dope that Clausen has collected, but he's kept his eyes | open tn Olympta and he undoubtedly | has enough ammunition to make it mighty warm for Hart. Also, in- cidentally, he’s a much stronger man Personally than is Clausen and would | probably prov better vote-getter. All of the potential republican can- didates for governor, however, aren't by any means to be found in Olympia. Altho the gubernatorial campaign is nearly two years away, no leas than half a dozen names, in addi tion to those of Savidge and Clausen, are already being mentioned, and the prospects are that a baker's dozen or more will eventually appear in the field. Only two candidates have defi nitely announced themselves so far— Governor Hart and Lieut. Gov. W. J. Coyle. But several more are consid. ered almost certain aspirants—Frank Hull, retiring county assessor and secretary of the republican state cen- tral committee; Col. Roland H. Hart- jez, veteran of former gubernatorial campaigns; J. Stanley Webster, oon- | gressman from the Fifth district; Port Commissioner George Lamping, jand Mark Reed, candidate for speak- jer of the lower house of the coming legislature. | The probable piatforms of these! candidates are as highly varied aa their owners. Reed, as a former leader of the | Hart machine, would probably | | make a bid for all of the old Hart forces that have become dissat- isfied with the present regime. It is understood that he Is mak ing the race for speaker, Instead of returning to his old job of | floor leader, because he desires | the additional prominence that the office would bring him as | precampaign publicity. | Savidge or Clausen—it would be| one or the other, because they, wouldn’t run against each other—| would be in the race simply because | of the pressure brought to bear by | other elective state officials, incensed by Hart's infringement on their rights. Hull isn’t Ukely to run unless tax ation is made the main issue, in |which event his record as having been the first public official to fight the poll tax—and first to predict its | now accomplished downfalli—would undoubtedly make him a strong can: | didate. Gle’d be a strong candidate, | anyway, for he stands high in the| councils of the organization and is a |good personal vote-getter to boot), | Hartley would run simply because |he’s always wanted to be a gov- ernor and on the strength of his by no means inconsiderable support in certain sectiong of the state, Lam; ing’s candidacy would have much the | accepted and a fresh |Montana Admitted onents Subscribe | same basie—the colonel has the run-| &.
