The "Smeor"
Compoign Is On!

Predictions of Sam Ford, Repub-
a smear" campaign would be used
against him have proven true. This
week, weekly paper. the Missoula
County Times, has been used as a
vehicle for the smear, and it is
reliably reported at Helena head
quarters that many Ayers support
ers are thoroughly disguised with
the smear" issue and are making
attempts to pick up all available
copies SO as to take them out of
circulation.
charges is that Mr.. Ford collected
legal fees, supposedly from tax
money, for services performed.
The work of liquidation of insolv-
ent banks for the protection of de-
positors was begun under Governor
Frank Cooney, continued under
Governor Elmer Holt, and contin-
ued until Mr. Ford resigned. So the
services performed by Mr.. Ford
were for, the insolvent banks and
checks were issued directly from
lI16Se UdIihS. lie SiiiedI state
ment is absolutely incorrect in that
no State warrants were issued for
this work.
No more positive endorsement of
Sam Fords ability and honesty could
be made than this by Governors
Cooney, Holt and Ayers-all Dem
ocrats
Governor Ayers stated in his
Havre speech on October "a that
he was proud of the fact that no
smear or dirt or villification had
been used nor would be used by his
administration in this campaign. In
part, he said. Il yield to them com
plete monopoly of that sort of po-
litical controversy"
The smear" sheet is the answer.
Water conservation was begun I'M
der Governor Cooney, and enlarged
under Governor Holt. Sam Ford
drew the first water conservation
law, at the request of Governor
Cooney Governor Ayers would
have the voters believe that he is
the father" of conservation.
The good roads program was
started long before Mr.. Ayers came
into office, and bringing Montana

How & Years Worked Out

Everybody pays for transportation just
those who hand the freight charges to the sta
ton agent.
Take the farmer. The cost of shipping his prod
ucts to the established markets is deducted from
the prices prevailing at those markets
Or yourself. The cost of transportation is incud-
ed inq the price of everything you buy.
Soperhaps you would like to see how much money
the Great Northern Railway Company made-or
lost-in recent years, how much the stockholders
got, and how this compares with what was paid
out for taxes.
The accompanying figures will give you rough
idea to whether you being treated fairly;
whether the 1868 persons, companies, banks and
other institutions who the Company are getting
fair wages" from their investments; and whether
the Great Northern's taxes bear reasonable rela-
ton to ability to pay

WASHINGTON. Censorship is
something wonderful in Chicago.
The lads know all the ropes. They
not only use censorship of movies
and neWsreels to suppress what they
do not want. but they can give that
famous old Boston board OF elders
cards and spades, because they
know how to use censorship to adj
vertise something they want boost
ed!
Everybody remembers what
grand deal the old Boston censors
Of few years back gave certain
salacious books, for one thing. and
the articles Of Henry L. Mencken
was then writing in his magazine.
for another.
Mencken worked the thing as
racket. He would call the attention
Of the censors, by some sort of pub
licity, to the audacity Of something
he had written in his magazine.
Then the censors would bar the sale
OF that issue in Boston. Whereupon
in every hamlet in the United States
folks would read about this article
that had caused the suppression OF
the magazine in the Hub" OF
course, everybody who read this was
curious to know just what it was
that had been suppressed, and some
of them would actually buy the mag
azine to find out.
CENSORS BOOSTED SALES
But the publicity did not stop
there. Mencken would thereupon in
duce some youngsters in Boston to
sell the magazine on the streets in
defiance of the censors' ruling.
They would be arrested, and there
would be another story. When you
consider that the magazine Henry
was then publishing was one OF COM
paratively small circulation, it is not
unlikely that several times he tripled
its circulation merely by getting the
censors to blacklist that particular
edition.
There is no evidence that any Of
the publishers of salacious books
used the same method, though 1t is
certain that they profted by it
whether Intentionally or not

. The point of all this 10 that the
Chicago censorx q few weeks back
suppressed for Chicago showing
movie in which close political friends
of the organization here are inter-
ested. After nine-day wonder, in
which every newspaper In chicago
joined in the clamor, the movie was
released-with more publicity than
any movie had received in this area
since "Gone With the Wind"
More recently the Chicago police
censors deleted from newsreel at
tacks on the Kelly-Nash machine
here by Dwight Green, Republican
candidate for senator, and by Wen
dell Willkie This time they mis-
fired little. The resulting publicity
caused an immediate restoration of
the cuts
WILLKIE SUPPORTED
II is rather interesting that the
New Deal attacks on Wendell Will
kie did not go to the merits OF gov
eminent versus private ownership OF
the electric industry, but confined
themselves almost exclusively to the
fact that Willkie companies fought
the IVA, and in particular that they
used questionable means and meth
DDS in fighting a public ownership
referendum in the city of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn.
1t is also interesting that most OF
the people who ought to know about
the details of these various fights did
not seem to take these criticisms of
Willkie very seriously.
In the state of Tennessee the eight
outstanding newspapers, according
to recent survey by Time maya
zine, are: Memphis Commercial APP
peal, Memphis Press-Scimitar. Chat
tanooga Times, Chattanooga Free
Press, Knoxville News Sentinel,
Knoxville Journal, Nashville Ban
ner, Nashville Tennessean.
OF these eight newspapers, all but
one, the Nashville Tennessean, adj
vocated the election of Willkie 1t
is interesting to note, also, that
the Tennessean, the only one of the
eight which is for Roosevelt, was in
trouble recently, was aided by fed
eral funds, and is now being run
by Silliman Evans
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
Evans is a fairly young news
paper man who came to Washington
from the Southwest shortly before
the New Deal came into power. He
was given place as fourth assist
ant postmaster general under James
A. Farley. Later, when the federal
government began to have some
thing to say about the operations of
the Maryland Casualty Co., he was
put in virtual charge of that Balti-
more concern. Still later he became
head of the Tennessean.
The whole point of this is that all
the outstanding newspapers in Ten
nessee, which by any stretch Of the
j imagination could be said to be I'M
controlled by the federal govern
/ ment, were for Willkie, although this
is the state In which most of Will
kie's spectacular opposition to the
! IVA and government operation CEN
tered.
