the magician, who say do not worry
about tomorrow but follow US" was
the declaration of F.. F. Haynes of
Forsyth, Republican candidate for
representative in congress in a NOV
ing, forceful talk at a meeting in
the Allen cafe Wednesday night.
Every move these demagogs make,
he declared, is based not On the

Sheriff Henry P. Lowe of wolf

Came From the People
Haynes opened with a brief sketch
Of his background and ancestry, de-
scribing himself as "a country law
yer from the Yellowstone valley"
He is also a World war veteran. He
sketched the history of u consti-
tuticn, ~stressing that it was not all
written by such men as Wash
jefferson and Franklin.
Even after they submitted it to the
"the call came from the ca
bins of the wilderness, you have
forgotten this and this" The point
was, he said, that our constitution
did not come from the seat of
the government; it came from the

house the most powerful arm of
government, on which the senate
was merely a check. 1t functioned
as such until, after the World war
and through an era of riotous pros
until 1.-The nation and the
Ycrld stumbled"
He paid tribute to the courage of
President Roosevelt, but said it was

Chaos Brings Demagogs
In every period Of economic
;haos, he continued, we have seen
he rise of the demagog and this
5 what happened to congress.
Its strong, virile striking arm
las become withered and it now
at the bidding of the bur-
a~ucratS."
He stressed that the lower house
as the power and duty, when it
ppropriates money, to set up the
Mechanics whereby the money is
o be spent, "to write a blueprine
nd not a blank check"
He called attention to how his OPP
onent, Congressman O'Connor, has
cndemned the workings of the sell
ctive service act, as to how it has
rained Montana of manpower. But
''Connor, he said, had done no

ght for amendments to that bill,
fight for his own people," he COM
congressman O'Connor says any
lch change is a function of the
yecutive department. But he IS
rong. That bill was enacted by
ongress, just as a small group OF
rain trusters drafted it. There was
planning, no intelligence, no go
lg back to the lessons we learned

In other words, he said, congress

atement.
Characterizing such men as those g
Who walk with the wind" he con- c
uded, LET us face the wind. Let
