VOTERS LEARN TRUTH
ABOUT SITUATION

DR.. F. E. Townsend, father of the
$200-a-month old age pension plan.
spoke to Montana voters over the
air from Helena Friday night He
concluded discussion of the Town
send plan with a reference to the
congressional campaign in this
state. He vigorously denounced
Jerry O'Connell and supported DIR.

DR. Townsend said, you are to Sc
lect two congressman this fall. The
1lncumbents have not proven salts
factory to the voters who have given
their allegiance to the Townsend
movement"
have read in the newspapers
where Representative Jerry O'Con-
nell has expressed amazement at
what he terms my sudden reversal
in refusing to endorse him for re-
election.
No Reversal
I have made no reversal of my
attitude toward this man who tried
to destroy the Townsend movement.
My opposition to his reelection has
been consistent and | did not APP
prove. of the Endorsement of Mr..
O'ConneIl which appeared in the
Townsend Weekly nor a letter sent
from Chicago Townsend headquar-
ters to be read before Townsend
clubs in Montana.
| want the people of Mon
tana to know that Congressman
OConnell, Crosby of Pennsylvania,
Shepard of California and others
did form a rump organization which
started out definitely to destroy the
Townsend plan.
They promoted substitute" Dr.
Townsend said, which would have
utterly destroyed the entire purpose
of our organization and all it stood
for.
Says O'Connen Switched
MIR. O'ConnelI pursued this
course until il become apparent to
him that his personal efforts would
be futile. Then he deserted the
rump organization and began advo-
eating the original Townsend plan.
Congressman O'Connell was the
first person to help organize against
us in Congress When this man
is able to obtain the endorsement
of an individual in the Townsend or
ganization and attempts to make the
people of Montana believe that he
has my support, it is evidence of
how dangerous this man is.
Mr.. O'Connell is good at trim
ming sails whenever it seems to ia
vor his political ends and it seems
that there is nothing this man will
not do in an attempt to attain his
ends, and | am hopeful that he will
be retired to private life.
This man should take no credit
to himself for asking the President
to pardon me for an offense | never
committed. Many administration
supporters have taken the same at
titude in the hope of currying favor
of the Townsend voters.
"A much more manly course for
them would have been to condemn
the investigation vigorously as soon
as they saw the trend it was
taking"
