ERICKSON OUT
FOR GOVERNOR
WILL SEEK NOMINATION OF
Observation-Disclosures
''BIG INTERESTS" SUP
PORT AS DANGEROUS N

J. E. Erickson, who has been cred
tied in political circles as having the
support of certain "big interests" of
the state Wednesday at his home in
Kalispell announced his candidacy for
nomination for governor upon the
Democratic ticket. Judge Erickson is
the chairman of the Democratic state
central committee and has been prom
inently identified with political activi-
ties In Montana fer number of years
While rumors among politicians
connect Judge Erickson with being
likely to receive the support of the
"big interests" in his candidacy, the
statement he issued in announcing his
purpose to seek the nomination de-
clares:
Il have no entangling alliance with
the big interests of the state. They
owe me nothing and l am under no
obligations to them"
This statement Of Judge Erickson
shows the Democratic party recogniz-
es the "big interests" as furnishing a
menacing influence in the state and
his haste to disclaim connection with
them indicates a further belief that
their public support will tend to work
to the disadvantage of a candidate.

The party was a democratic af-
