Rep. Larsen Answers
Questions of Farmerine
CONTINUED from Page Onel

Gu state: Representative Aage
Larsen was endorsed by Taylor for
the Legislature as a sop to the Dag
mar farmers to help defeat Farmer
Hans Dixon"
This is another lie of yours. Mr..
Taylor has never done anything or
sad one word against Hans Dixon,
and l haven't either during the whole
campaign as We all respected Hans
/ DIXON because I he is a gentleman.
/ II was different the time you were
out, Mr. March, and tried TO defeat
Farmer Hans Dixon. You made the
most dirty rotten campaign that any
one could make and Farmer Hans
DIXON beat you better than two to
one.
Then you said that l wanted to get
into politics. This is another lie
made oct of broad clolh. l have made
nv living in Montana for fifteen long
years without getting into politics and
l small assure you / could live here
nIteen years more without holding a
pubic Office. But | shall always take
part IN politics and especially as long
as men Of your kind are trying to
destroy honesty and decent citizen
snip by spreading your damnable lies.
You stated that 81 had followed
the dreamers for a long time" Yes.
| have dreamed q long time about
the time when the farmers and lab
orers could get together and put vorr
two old Tea Pot parties out of bust
ness as they are completely corrlInt
both of them.
NOW let me answer your so-called |
fair questions:
Question No /: "Now we would
ask, Mr.. Larsen, why he states. M
Taylor was absent from the Senate /
only two days. The records show tbat
ne answered roll call only three times,
IhaC the special session lasted eight /
days (Senator Taylor's pay check
also SHOW this). That Taylor never
Vo- ed once and there is no record of
ms wonderful speeches at this ses-
- Answer to Question No. 1. Mr..
Taylor was only absent the last two
Gays OF the session Saturday and
Monday: AND HE ASKED TO BE
EXCUSED. Don't you know there
are many senator's and congressman
as Wen as state senators and repre-
:seICaClVeS Who are not there Onlv once
u a While. Former Congressman Carl
n lddlck was absent $50 DAYS during
ms term but you have never knows
10 don't suppose, or else you would
nave sent Oscar Collins or Hack
Y Grady to Washington to- take
photo OF Carl Riddick's warrant.
l snail state for your information
Jhat Ii a legislator should hapnen ia
le one minute late in the Senate or
me house and not there to answer
NE fCdI call, he is marked absent. al
.n!ough ne may be there all day. At
INES you may work on different COM
hlOIees and happen to be marked alb !
sent When the roll is called. I know
mere were times in the House when
some OF the committees put in from |
" 70 TO hours a day in the different !
committee rooms.
