Dear Sir:
! When we Democrats over here in
Missoula county found out that all the
prominent Republicans in this county
were out for Ayers and Willkie, why
we just switched over to Ford.
wanted to do little work for Ford
and when visited headquarters here
why everybody wanted me to work for
Willkie, I was told that they had very
little material of Ford's and that I had
better visit Ford's headquarters, wher-
ever that was. l saw Willkie buttons
| galore but not a Ford button in sight.
! understand that Yellowstone county
/ the biggest Republican county in this
state went for Governor Ayers. That
proves to me that the Democrats
elected Ford to the Governorship.
Yours for better government,
