Sam Ford Begins
Stote- Wide Tour

In an attempt TO meet WITH V6ters
in every part of Montana and to
discuss with them the issues of this
election, Sam c. Ford, outstanding
republican candidate for governor
has started on campaign trip that
will take him into almost every
county in Montana. Between now
and election day Ford, former SUI
preme court justice and Montana
attorney general, will speak at
gatherings arranged for him in
nearly every town and city in the
state.
Judge Ford plans to present to the
voters of Montana discussion OF
the present machine-controlled gov
eminent of this state, and to ex-
plain his remedies for many of these
existing abuses. Judge Ford has
maintained throughout his campaign
that the citizens of Montana are en-
titled to sound, economical and hon.
est state government, and that with
the elimination of political machines,
mismanagement, graft, duplication
of offices, boards and commissions,
this can be achieved, says the Ford
for Governor club. Judge Ford
plans to point out to the voters that
the cost of Montanas government
has increased steadily during the
past four years, and that in the
main, claims of balancing the bud
get and other sound fiscal policies
are mainly politicians talk"
The demands for appearance Of
Judge Ford have been SO great
that the Ford for Governor Club in
Helena has been unable to comply
with the many requests, but the
schedule of talks has been arranged
SO that Judge Ford can meet as
many of Montana's citizens as time
will allow Judge Ford's notable
career and his courageous stand on
the issues in this campaign has made
his candidacy popular with Mon
tana voters. More and more ex-
pressions of support for his forth
right utterances are being made,
and more and more people are real
izing that in Judge Ford Montana
has the chance to elect man whose
education, background, experience
and integrity make him the logical
choice for Governor of Montana.
Reports coming into the Repub-
lican State Headquarters, from all
parts of Montana indicate that there
is a tremendous swing of support,
among both democrats and repubI-
cans, to Judge Ford. These reports
have been interpreted to mean that
the voters of Montana are becoming
aware of the need for a change and
the necessity of ousting the present
administration. More and more,
these reports show, are the people
awakening to the fact that the
Ayers regimes primary accomplish
ment has been the creation of a
huge political machine, which has
been unequalled in the states his
tory The trend indicates a will
ingness on the part of the people to
demand state administration that
will be efficient in all its depart
ments, courteous to the public and
considerable to the state employees
The people are demanding Gov
ernor who will be in his office to
transact legitimate public business,
and one who will give a square deal
for all the people and not just to a
chosen few.
More and more Montanans are
convinced that Sam Ford will be
Montana'S next governor.

OYSTERS

Delaware waters produce relat-
lively no oysters at ALL This year
what little oysters are obtained are
very poor and watery. The grounds
are not as favorable for propaga-
ton as the Jersey waters. The
latter are more protected by nat
ure. The floor is more suitable
for the seed oyster, besides on ac-
count Of the peculiar features Of
the banks of the bay, the Della
ware side receives the full wash of
the volume of the river. In South
ern Delaware, along Seaford and in
the Nanticoke river, oyster pro-
duction has entirely given out. In
Tangier and Pocomoc a relative
condition of oyster poverty exists.
1t would be advantageous did an
enactment exist giving oysters a
years rest. This term, even,
would hardly make recognizable
difference. Something has to be
done to save the oyster product
and the business.
