10, MONTANA TT
no time in our history have they been complex
and intricate or of greater import The unity OF
our national affairs not only makes those problems
nationwide in their application and effect, but the
growing Importance of our nation and the unver-
ISty OF trade and commerce makes them internatlOn
al IN scope.
Today, if ever in our history America needs a
man who understands and correctly apprases the
tange of moral social political and economic forces
and interests which struggle for mastery man
trained in administration; man who knows SYM
patheticay the needs of both the individual and of
industry; a man who sees through and beyond the
immediate travail to the ultimate good of the indvi
dual. Today America is fortunate to have the lead
ership of Herbert Hoover.
"He knows the subjects with which he must DEAL
or he sets about getting the facts Systematically Ii
necessary, he does not hesitate to appoint fact
finding commission to ferret out and report the facts
For this he is criticizd. 1t apparently has never
dawned the critics that all seagoing boats carry
compasses and all competent navgators frequently
consult them. Steering by the North Star is both
Anticipated and nconvenient. In statecraft, where
CLOUDY weather is frequent it is fatal.
He is the wistest of leaders. He relies upon the
strength and the righteousness of his own program
He hurls no bricks, makes no gas attacks. He pur
sues his course with the reasoned determination and
informal persistence which reaches its objective with
the drectness, if not the swiftness, of an arrow.
mo greater triumph has ever been scored in
peace time than the victory which Herbert Hoover has
won against panic. 1t is impossible to gage events
which have been averted. Our country will never
know all of the conditions against which he batted
nor all the evils which threatened us when the stock
market long overinflated, collapsed; which induced
thereby, commodity values Sagged; when business
and industry, gripped by fear of panic threatened
retrenchment; when great financial institutions were
precariousy balancing themselves upon the rim oil
ruin, and labor, always haunted by the dread of UNI
employment felt the touch of the grim spector upon
its elbow.
"Let us not forget this: Industry and commerce!
in America meet domestic competition; any call
ling occupation IN our expanding economic life
must at all times be prepared for readjusments; curl
national wealth is great enough to enable us to abso
LOSSES but the nation can not afford to tolerate in
Justice to permit inequality to become embedded
in our economic structure. II
"Hurtful and false is the idea that there exists
chasm between the industrial East and the ag11cul-
tuna West and South The East has corner i'll
dustry. The West and South are not the excuslveI
possessors of agriculture We take pride in the fact
that the founders of the Republican party saw the|
ination and saw it whole. That faith too, has BEEN
ours We would not, if we could, weaken or Destroy
one single power reserved by the Constitution to the
several states We, each of us, acknowledge our al
egance and pride in the state of our birth or OIL
our choice But, first of all, pride and our af
lection and patriotism is for that larger entity
the United States of America.
just as natlOnallS1n was the fundamental primo
ple of the policy Of Washington; of the consllmmate
craftsmanship of Hamilton; of the constructive legal
mind of Marshall; of the burning eloquence of Web
ster Of the inspiring patience of Lincoln; 50 is ma
tionalism the principle of the Republican party and
so is nationasm, reconcelved as the unity and the
coordination Of the moral, social economic and pol
itical forces of the whole people, the fundamental
faith of Herbert Hoover"
The foregoing clearly illustrates why such men
as Mr.. Shelley should be sent to the United States
Senate to represent the people of Montana man
who clearly understands and knows of the present
day conditions; man who is willing to cooperate
and work for the solution of these conditions which
mean so much to the people Of the United States.
When you vote for Mr.. Shelley you are making
your own choice Of man highly qualified by eXper
fence in political leadership and cooperation with
others in public life to serve your interests You are
not following the dictates Of handful of politicians
who drafted" candidate to defeat the purpose of
! the DIRECT PRIMARY LAW, and to serve their
own selfish ends.
