FAITH IN THE COMMON MAN
One Of the finest things in America
is the confidence with which we turn
to the common man. Ordinary vot-
ers, holding the sovereign power OF
universal suffrage, select their public
servants from among many office
seekers. Amazingly well they exer-
else their responsibility, too, and right
now we are depending upon these
common men in next months general
elections to choose governor for
Montana.
The governorship is a highly i'm
portant position. In the troubled
state of affairs, we need very much
man of courage and kindness We
need man whose virtue is above
question, sober, thoughtful man
whose wisdom and practical expert
ence in public Affairs is such as to
assure careful attention to every de-
tail of government. The candidacy
of Sam Ford gives to the common
man an opportunity to vote for such
a governor.
| And how is the common man re-
spending in this emergency? Go into
meeting of the Farmers Union, and
see how those who till the soil are
working earnestly for Ford. Go
among workingmen, and discover for
yourself their genuine concern to
make Ford Montana's next governor.
Go down the street, and see for your
self that those whose suffrage is to.
determine the outcome of this cleo
are acquainted with the merits of
Sam Ford. They know his clear I'M
dersanding of law and his courage
to promote justice during the six
years he served on our states SUI
preme Court. They know his ability
and willingness, both as Supreme
Court Justice and as Attorney Gen
eral, to defend the rights of all, even
the humblest. Thye know, and they
are voting next November for Sam
Ford.
/, too, shall cast my vote for Sam
Ford. Among the many men whom
have known in public life, he is a
big man. He has many of the quail
tiles that made Joe Dixon an out
standing governor l have followed
for more than 20 years his behavior
as a public servant, and l know he
can be trusted. l myself am not big
enough for governor, but am enough
of a common man to know when / do |
have opportunity to vote for a man
with Sam Ford's superior ability.

riers in return for concessions
from other nations is the corner
stone of his foreign policy.
Two Views Taken
Some considered that the result
might enhance his chance for the
democratic presidential nomination,
although others thought that the
sharp divisions of opinion within
the democratic party on the trade
issue might have the opposite eff
feet.
Hull said:
1.-The passage through congress
of the act continuing the trade
agreements program in force fol-
the next three years will afford
profound satisfaction to all those
who have been observing and ap
praising the operation of the pro
gram from the standpoint of oul

resulting in a 46-to-34 administra'
ton victory. came on an amend
ment offered by Senator Walsh
(D-Mass) to limit extension of the
program to only one year.
Fourteen democrats and twenty
republicans voted for the proposal
while forty-three democrats were
joined by Senator Danaher (R
Comm, Lundeen (FL-Minn), ane
Norris (Ind-Neb) in opposing it.
Garner, only democratic presl
Dental aspirant avowedly opposed
to a third term for President
Roosevelt, was actively engaged in
acknowledgements efforts on behalf
of the limitation. The chief execu'
tive, on the other hand, opposed it.
At his press conference a few
hours before the amendment came
to a vote, the President told news
papermen he believed it's enact
ment would be very harmful te
the nation.
He said it was not good for the
country to have a congressional
scrap over tariffs every year, ano
that this would be true next year
regardless of what administration
came into power.
