W
for Representative in the Legislature
Paul M. Kay, Albert Leistiko and Ben
Pagan. Imagine the character of
laws this triumvirate will prepare for
presentation to the Legislature. For
what do they stand? What qualifica-
tions do they possess for the impor-
tant work of legislating for this great
State. Opposing them the Republican
party presents E. T. Phelps, Knud H.
Knudsvig, and Fred B. Gillette. These
are men of broad experience, wide
awake, and alert for the advancement
of this state. They know the conditions
in Montana and the legislation neces-
sary to advance those interests.
The stockhclder candidate gang are
not only soliciting votes for themsel-
yes, but they in effect ask you to vote
for their families. Give one of them
an office and Immediately he takes in
the other members Of the family as
deputies. Take the office of Clerk Of
the District Court. 1t has furnished
jobs for the Cutting family for sia
/ years. Daddy Cutting s4as stepped
this time, but Son Cutting came up to
the plate. If son Cutting is elected to
the office Daddy Cutting blossoms out
as deputy. Does the League existsapA
for the purpose of perpetuating. the
family job? = :,
The Republican candidates are
against that program. They request
your support for themselves. No mem
bers of their families will be appointed
as their deputies. No family mistakes
will have to be covered up. They will
be free to select from the voters of
this county the most competent and
best qualified persons to fill these po-
sitions. More efficient service at much
less cost to the taxpayers will be the
result.
The individual or group of individ-
uals who foment distlust of their fel-
low beings is an enemy of good citizen
ship. A newspaper which breaches
to it's readers that they should not read
anything except what it publishes mis-
takes the public for fools. That group
of politicians which presents to the
public candidates who are not qualified
for office and tries to elect them by
buster, abuse and noise is detrimental
to it's own cause and destructive of
political honesty. Anybody who tries
to stifle inquiry into the subjects of
vital interest to the people is mentally
dishonest. Men whose records will not
bear investigation should not become
candidates for office.
To force its stockholder-candidate<
into office the News demands that free
men and women take a list of candi-
dates it picked from the derelicts Of
past political campaigns into the vot.
ing places and mark their ballots as
the stockholder-candidate gang directs
When the News, for its own benefit
put up it's Dignans, Leistikos, Durells
Foxes, Kays, Turner's, Fagans, and
other job hunters it thought it coulG
elect them by yelling political hireling
bootlegger, gambler and the usua
thug epithets in which it's vocabulary
abounds. Remember that paper be-
longs to the ckholder-candidates II
is they who are conducting a campaign
of misrepresentation with no higher
purpose than to get job. They are
lending their support to assassinate
the regulations of the women and mer
of this county.
Do not be deceived Meet the issue
squarely. Do YOUR own thinking and
vote YOUR own convictions.
