ment made few days ago by Presi-
dent w. A. Selvidge.
'It was the wish of the directors
of the association and many of its
members that it's activities be kept
non-political,V said Mr.. Selvidge,
"but in view of the great Importance
of the issue before Montana people
this year.. the association could not
consistently refrain from taking an
active part in the campaign.
"The good sense of the people of
Montana has again asserted itself in
this crisis and every true citizen who
is loyal to his state can view the
outcome of the election with a great
deal of satisfaction. The Montana
Development association has pledged
its best efforts to the farmers of
the state to aid them as much as
possible in the formulation of such
constructive, remedial legislation as
they find themselves in need of and
that pledge will be faithfully kept"
Mr.. Selvidge explained that the
association will now embark on an
important program of development
