! Dear Editor:
l note that you carried front page
story by E. B. Coolidge DIETER known
as Handbook" Coolidge) the Million
aire oil operator, who sets forth the
reasons why and how Governor Ayers
was defeated and Sam Ford elected.
very good as far as he went, believe
the main factor repudiating the Ayers
machine and electing Sam Ford to the
governorship was The People Voice,
which has for the past year called to
public attention the rotten manner in
which the state affairs have been, and
are at present being run by the would
be Hitler" of Montana.
1t is reasonable to believe a news
paper covering the state, weekly, as
The Peoples Voice is doing, and set
ting out facts concerning the corrupt
manner in which our whisky drink
ing governor has administered the
duties of his office has, and did influ-
ence the thinking voters of our state
to vote for change. This however
was done and | don't believe that too
much credit can be given to radio
talks. AS l recall, Mr.. Coolidge was
on the air four years ago asking for
votes to elect Roy Ayers and then
four years later he was again on the
air asking that Sam Ford be elected.
OF course maybe that is one of his |
hobbies ands fellow can't be con-
demned too much if he practices his |
hobby, if it does not interfere too |
much with other peoples happiness.
Mr.. Coolidges story reminds me of |
World War veteran who still thinks
that Pershing, himself and couple
of squads from Company K won the
World War. 1t would seem to me
that Mr.. Coolidge and a couple of re-
dictionary democrats thinks that they
won the election. The Peoples Voice
with their following elected Sam Ford
and don't forget that If The Peo-
pies Voice continues to publish dis
facts they will have the
factor in the next election
Yours very truly,
FRANK E. ELLSWORTH.
