CORPORATION
PRESS PREFERS
STAND ON LIES

Three advertisements rendered by
the Democratic State Central Com.
mittee with checks in payment accom-.
panying copy for their insertion in
the observation-disclosures of Helena,
one of the Anaconda Copper Company
and Montana Power Company news
papers, have been refused this week.
The advertisements which the com
mittee tried vainly to get into this
particular propaganda sheet, con-
tanned definite statements disproving
the lies, direct and implied, concern
ing Left Erickson, broadcast in the
columns of the corporation owned
daily publications in the state during
the past several weeks.
1t is said that the editor gave as
his reasons for refusing this class of
paid advertising was that it contra
yened the policy of the paper. We
believe that the editor gave the cor
rect reason. Its policy during this
has apparently been to con-
distort truths and to print
what 1t must have known to be out
right lies And it seemingly prefers
to remain consistent in carrying out
this program to the end of the cam
paign.
Perhaps it is serving. a good pur-
pose by so doing. Perhaps the people
of the state may take measure as a
result of this policy, to secure daily
which tell the truth.

A DEWEY TO SUIT ANYONE

they hate. It's not a pretty scene for
this important year in our history :. :.
it's not very dignified or very nice.
For my friends who still insist
they're going to vote for Dewey, |
have just this question Which Dewey
are you going to vote for?-The Cali
fornia Dewey, the Montana Dewey, the
ginia Dewey, the Oklahoma Dewey?
Make up your mind, please. What
Dewey do you want? The isolationist
Dewey or the internationalist Dewey?
The conservative or the liberal Dew
ey? You can take your pick and
there's wide selection. Dewey, the
defender of the foreign born, or Dew
ey the denouncer of the foreign born.
Dewey, labor's friend, or Dewey, la
boris foe. Do you want the Dewey
who, in Portland, Ore, said that our
president can't control the congress,
or do you want the Chicago Dewey
who called Roosevelt a dictator? Do
you want the Dewey who announced:
81 want to see peoples peace" or
the Dewey who appointed ]. F. Dulles,
lawyer for the worlds strangling Ger
man cartels, as his mentor on inter-
national cooperation. Name your
Dewey. Take your pick.
Up to now it's always worked out
that the man who tries to please
everybody, pleases nobody. The man
who promises everything, accom-
plishes nothing. You can't have the
Dewey who believes in world coop
GRAFTON and in Colonel Mccormick, of
the Chicago Tribune. You can't have
the Dewey who's for the farmer and
against the farm security administra-
ton. You can't have an executive |
who stands for high social security |
benefits and against taxation for that
purpose. You can't have all these
men at once. You'll have to pick one
of them.-Great Falls Tribune.

Here is a short, effective speech
given by the famous author and
actor of radio and screen, Orson
WelIes.
What | have to say is meant for
you who still insist you're going to
vote for Dewey A lot of you are be-
ginning to change your minds-maybe
not so much because of anything
we've said-we who are campaigning
for Roosevelt = maybe = maybe more
on account of something Mr.. Dewey's
had to say-he's said so many differ
ent things.
Instead of trying to persuade you
that what he stands for deserves your
vote, his energies, and all the best
professional efforts Of hat super-staff
Of his go into persuading you-wher-
ever you are-whatever you believe,
that if you vote for Dewey, Dewey
agrees with you. You're an isolation
list, says the governor well, so am
I, says he. Beg pardon you said you
were for strong international organi-
cation, you want vigorous peace en-
forcement? Says Mr.. Dewey, SO do |.
You think tn enew deal wrecked the
country? So do l, says Mr.. Dewey.
What? You want to keep the new
deal legislation? So do I, of course,
of course, of course, of course.
Here comes the Dewey medicine
show, folks. The caravan is approach
ing new territory. Inside the cam
paign wagons you'll find a frantic
scuttling, hustling and bustling The

for their permission to become
a candidate" Justice Erickson,
democratic candidate for gov
ernor in an address to a large
attendance at a rally in Billings
yesterday, deplored the fact
that the smear attacks by his opposi-
ton has made it necessary in the
interests of truth, to take time to an
swer some of them, when the time
should have been devoted to what he
and his party has to offer in the way
of good government for the people.
II am forced" said Erickson, ito
take some of my time in telling the
people of my program for Montana,
to answer some of the most vicious
of these villifications. This opposi-
ton which is trying so desperately to
elect Governor Ford, tell the bald
faced lie that came to Montana only
10 years ago. The fact is that | came
to Montana with my parents % years
ago when I was but 10 years old
Another is" continued Erickson, that

too is a falsehood. I was older at
the beginning of this war than was
Governor Ford at the beginning of the
last war. Mr.. Ford is not a veteran
of any war"
Referring to statements made that
he is an endorsed candidate of the
clio Political Action Committee, he
branded that another falsehood. He
declared: 81 am not dictated to nor
shall | be dictated to by any organi-
cation, corporation or Northumberland
that is why my opposition is so deter
mined to defeat me. | do have the
endorsement of the Montana Progress
sive Council which is composed of
representatives from the AFL, the

endorsement as was my opponent four
yaers ago when he solicited and re-
ceived the endorsement of the Mon

Albert H. Angstman, "the pioneer
of liberal court decisions in Montana"
we confidently believe will get the
largest vote of any of the candidates
on the non-partisan, judicial ballot, as
associate justice of the Montana SUI
preme court. The people of the state
have always felt that they had a
friend in court when he was on the
bench and will return him there. An
outstanding jurist, he commands the
respect of all the members of his pro-
fession and yet is able to give human
Justice the highest consideration in
his Interpretation of the law.
