the pork barrel, blackout obscurant-
lists find comfort in these constitu-
ton references.
Ignorance and secrecy are relied

should encourage the holding of open
meetings for the discussion of mat
tiers of public concern. Such proce
dure would of course, be resisted by
the half-truth liars.
Left Erickson
Instead of making an issue of the
timidity of the young law student,
Left Erickson, Judge Lieper should
know that Montanans are interested
in the Left Erickson of today. They
want to be dependably informed in
matters appertaining to the integrity
and competency of Judge Left Erick-
son, and the associated facts that
have established his record as a con-
scientious jurist, while serving on the
supreme court during the past six
years. When in the presence of Left
Erickson, one cannot be impressed
otherwise than that he Is in the pres
ence of real man.

TRAGEDY AND COMEDY

doubt as to the difference between
Montana justice and California JUS
tice.
This letter is written primarily, to
introduce Sam G. Ford as the cham
pion half-truth liar now operating in
this state. Also, to serve the purpose
of my challenge to him to join me in
an open discussion of his stewardship
of Montanas public affairs.
The well-known set-up and the pro-
cedure adopted for the first test of
the usurper's attitude in the contem-
plated Missouri river grab was suffi-
cient in Importance, to justify a Mon
ana governor to abandon all duties,
and to devote his time and effort ex-
clusively to the preservation of this
states interests when VIGOROUSLY, in
jeopardy. In this particular the whole
truth is, that the federal government
was behind Montana's defense.
While Montanans only were direct
ly interested in the watered stock
issues of the Montana Power Com
pany, the federal government also as
oCi tCO itoCll, anu COuiu iOI w dio
suaded by the Indifference or oppo
site views of the pretended represen-
tatives of our state. The federal gov
eminent instituted an inquiry at
Butte, which lasted seven weeks, and
our pork-barrel governor, during the
entire period was conspicuous by his
absence. The brief of the investi-
on in this 1icoIncnc that
items agregating forty-seven millions
were classed as "write-ups." Lower
light and power rates are now in the |
making. Our appreciation should be |
made known to the federal govern
ment.
The recent exposure of Montana
justice, as distinguished from Califor
mia justice, has not dissuaded the
pork-barrel candidate for governor
from the theory of state control of
the water resources. We may there
fore, indulge the hope that the views
of Tin-Cup Erickson may be opposite
to those of the Montana Power Com
pany.
Ford Altered Records
Important at this particular time, is
the fact that Sam G. Ford was held
in contempt of the United States court
on August 10, 1925 on charge of |
classification of judicial record and
was, by Judge Bourquin fined $500.
Judge Leiper could have mentioned {
this.

BY FRANK ]. EDWARDS

The tragedy of Montana's jeopardy
during the past dozen years, may, in
some particulars, be recalled by the
drama now being enacted by way of
black-out films, in which Pork-Barrel
Ford and Tin-Cup Erickson are the
featured actors. This tragedy should
be christened,
MONTANA POWER vs.. STATE
OF MONTANA
The initial step of the tragedy was
taken in 1882 when U. S. Senator T..
j. Walsh publicly advocated a gift
by the congress to Montana, of all
property within the State belonging
to the U. S. government. This govern
ment property was to be added to the
feesimple title to all Montana when
the Montana Power Company had per-
fected it's title to the Missouri river.
Delay in the contemplated acquisi-
lions may have been caused by the
death of Senator Walsh Walsh died
in March, 1888. Following his demise
conformable procedure to suit the
changed condition was directed.
Flathead John Erickson vacated the
governors seat, which was a four
year job at $500 a year, and accept
ed a certificate of appointment to the
U. S. senate, two-year job at $4,000
a year. This transferred the state
government to the Catholic church
which was the only time of such
transfer in Montana's history. AS
an additional precaution, the North
ern Pacific was made the probable
successor. The Montana state senate
elected Elmer Holt, the Northern Pa
cific land man to the position of hold
over president of the senate. Holt
succeeded Cooney.
With n csc established safety
valves, the appointed senator, former
Governor Erickson, became an occu-
pant of U. S. senate seat, and dur
ing the following January 1934) he
introduced his senate bill which pro-
vided for the gift by the congress, of |
all government holdings within the
state of Montana. Here the bill tenn
porarily languished.
During the following year the peo
pie of Montana were invited to va
cate-to get out, because of the new
proprietorship that had asserted itself
and it's ownership of the Missouri
river.
The usurper launched it's action and
the first test, Montana test, resulted
in complete victory for the Montana
Power Company. However, this was
not final. On appeal to court sit
ting thousand miles away, this Mon
tana disaster was given kick square
ly in the Stats. This left no room for

The people of Montana should vote
for Left Erickson and a straight dem
ocratic ticket. They have been picked
by the farmers, laborers, and small
business as the most liberal progress

son, have worked with him, talked
with him on better liberal progress
sive government for years. The
closer we have lived to him, the
stronger we are for him. He has
been taught from childhood by his
parents, that government should be
for the majority of the people instead
of the privileged few.
The Anaconda Copper Company or
ACM and the power companies are
working hard against him, that is why
it should be easy for the common
man to vote opposite these powers.

nothing for the state as long as they
make their big profits.

Russia after this war, If Governor
Dewey is elected, the republicans will
see to it that we lose Russia's friend
ship, as she has not the private cap
italist system that Is wrecking our
nation, and we will have Russia as
our enemy. Republicans are trying
hard to make people believe the CLIO
was responsible for all the strikes
we had, that is false, as the Industrial
lists brought on most of the strikes.
In some factories they deliberately
raised the wages which caused others
to strike. Before the railroad strike
about two years ago even got into the
papers | was told the officials of a
railroad were trying to get the men
to strike, so they could demand a
raise in freight and passenger rates,
and the strike did not come off only
a lot of headlines in the newspapers

got their raise and big slice of vel
vet" after the men got their amount,
so the public were "milked" as the
people have to pay the increase in
rates. The corporations did a lot of
things that bordered on treason, seem
ing to work to hamper Roosevelt and
the war effort.
We should vote for Congressman
O'Connor, as his republican opponent
is charged with record in the state
senate of 100 per cent for the cor
porations.
