n Walsh shall be returned to tn
limited States Senate. Vigorou
i objection is made to his re-elet
: tion. not because of any lack G
Qualifications on his part, but be
/ cause Of his constant and %effectiy
F.. obstruction of President Hoover
and to the application OF Republi
, can principles and policies.
Judge Galen suggested tina
Montana voters, having giver
Hoover a large majority. would
strengthen the latter's hand /
they sent to his support Republi
can representatives in congress
He pledged himself TO stand witt
the president in his efforts to
solve the farmers problems, and
in all other matters that will pro-
mote the welfare Of the state and
nation.
In speaking of the Democratic
record of obstruction, Judge Galen
said: "In making your decision
as to how you will vote, you
should take into consideration the
desirability Of having representa-
tiYes in accord with u national
Republican administration, rather
than disposed to in every way OBJ
struct the application of the poll
cies of the Republican party. Scott
Leavitt the congressman from
the second congressional district,
is our only Representative giving
staunch support to the admins
tration; and although his congress
sional district is the largest in the
United States, all of the people Of
Montana have found it necessary
in recent years to call upon him
concerning our state problems,
and he has at all times responded
i%nterestedly and efficiently.
Would he not be in position to
with sympathetic support in the
United States senate; and with a
Republican senatorial representa-
tive, disposed to support the ad-
ministration, is it not reasonable
to expect that Montana and her
people would be given far greater
consideration by the national gov
eminent? The a~ll-absorbing ques-
ton confronting the electors is
whether it is to the best interests
of Montana, and Montana's PEG
pie, to elect Republicans as mem
bers Of congress, thereby giving
support to administration policies,
or TO elect democrats disposed to
obstruct accomplishments by the
administration. 1t would appear
on our part for us to re-
cord our votes in favor Of a Re-
publican president as chief execu-
tive of the nation by a very sub
stantial vote, and then immediate
ly about face, and instead of giving
him support, provide him with
congressional representatives dis
posed to defeat every constructive
advocated by the Republi-
party. It Is apparent that by
pursuing such a course we defeat
our own purposes" y
fIIt should be manifest to any
intelligent, clear thinking Ameri- I
IAN that a protective tariff Is the
