ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY

James O'Connor, congressman from
the second Montana district has an
nounced that he intends to make the
race for reelection thus setting at
rest widely circulated rumors that he
had ambitions to make the race
against Senator Murray this year
Some time ago, an article appeared
in 1.-THE Yellowstone, purporting to
be an interview with O'Connor, and
kidding" him with "takeoff" on
his pomposity, drew the congress
mans ire. Presumably all papers in
the state which found the article clev-
erly amusing and reprinted it, were
threatened with libel suits by O'Con-
nor if they did not appease his vanity
and dignity by printed apologize dec
larations. The Peoples Voice which
reprinted the article received one of
these demands, but failed to comply
with it, despite the threats of dire
consequences for failure to do so. A
reader of The Voice who had also re-
ceived similar letter, covered the at
titude of The Voice on the issue, quite
completely and his reply to O'Connor
was printed. At the last account, this
reader was still not in jail for disre-
spect to the dignity of O'Connor
