Let's Not Be Fooled

For the past week. appeared the front
corporation press the state Stories damning the CLIO
Political Action Committee by implication and nnuendo Pre-
eed has been given repeated stories OF Dies rantngs
and his reference to Sarnes already repudated by
torate of the ridiculous and unounded claims he has made
regarding the political organization
We NAV look for continuation of these tactics by the
corporation organs These merely curtain raes for
direct attacks of the kind staged by the Anaconda daies
ward the end of the primary campaign when they made every
confuse the of the voters of Montana STOPPING
plain lying connection with the Montana Council
for Progressive Political Action Even the Associated Press
and the United Press supposed to be uneudced and indie
pendent newsgatherg and distributing agencies showed that
they influenced by the corporations in stories
leased to the press of the state
The CLIO Political Action needs defense. 1t is
ganzaon of working people organized for political action
It composed of people of whose and brothers
today fighting and dying in France in Italy and in the islands
of the South Pacfc fighting to the freedoms ncd
that of the exercise of the right organize for lawful
purpose and who will deny that the right to organize for
litica action is of those.
The corporations fear Council for Progress
Political Action because they know it peoples organ
zaon and because of the avowed of the
izaton to political domination of the state by the
foreign corporations exploiting its resources and It's people
1t fears organization which it does not feel sure 1t can
control
In the primary campaign press lied by saying that
the organization promoted and controlled by jerry j.
OConne Those who wrote the stories know that they lied
they knew at the time They knew that the Montana Coun
Gil for Political Action CLIO organization, Montana
Federation of Labor organization, Railroad Brotherhood
ganization or Farmers Union organization They it
was peoples organization their feared they
prosued their talents and ignored all ethical considerations
and traditions of their profession and wrote the lies
credit the of Montana the candidate
whom they particularly sought to defeat with their
paign nominated by vote which decisive enough to
show that the efforts of the ooge and its bosses made
impression.
The present campaign of vfcation of the CLIO Political
Action Committee which is not organized in this state is
of another campaign by the rotten
ganda corporations which call themselves daily
newspapers These will probably take the form of
again making effort make the voters of the state believe
Council for Progressive Political Action
the CLIO Political Action Committee that the
candidates of the heads of that organ
izaton in New York
Even if this lie, should still be willing
accept decisions of of workers such make
up the leadership of the CLIO Political Action Committee than
approval of the New York offices of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company announced indicated
through their publicity organs in the state.
We know that the Montana voters will not be fooled
