POLITICAL COUNCIL
CONS0LIDATES WORK

Official returns in Montana show that
candidates endorsed by the Montana
Council for Progressive Political Action
won sweeping victories in the primary
election. Winning candidates pledged
to a progressive program and support
for President Roosevelt include two con-
gressmen and nominees for governor,
lieutenant governor. secretary of state,
attorney general state treasurer, state
auditor, state superintendent Of public
instruction, associate justice of the SUI
preme court, several state senators, many
state representatives and many county
officers.
When we remember that the daily
press in Montana is controlled by the
Anaconda Copper Company, is extremely
isolationist and Roosevelt, and that
since 1904 the Anaconda Company has
controlled state politics with an iron
"copper" hand, we Immediately wonder
what new magic formula was used. Here
is the secret:
The first step was the appointment Of
Jerry j. O'Connel. former Montana con-
gresham who knows state politics in
side out. has an outstanding record as
a fighting liberal and the complete con-
fidence of progressive groups in the
state, as state CIO political action direc-
tor. The next step was the organiza-
ton of the Montana Council for Pro
gressive Political Action to include not
only CIO members. but members of the
Farmers Union, AFL, Railroad Brother
hoods pension clubs, and independent
business and professional men and wOm-
en-. This gave the political action pro-
gram broad base representative Of all
progressive people in the state The
state council elected Don Chapman
state president of the Farmers Union
as chairman; Jerry O'Connell of the
CIO as vice chairman; Ed C. Vawter
of the AFL, as secretary. The board
of directors includes women, farmers
laborers, professionals and representa-
tives of the public at large.
In order to unite all progressive ele-
ments behind the council campaign, q
broad program of fundamental principles
and progressive legislation was adopted
at the state convention in Great Fails
on June II. This program includes the
following points
Speedy final and complete victory ii
the war.
Unalterable opposition to negotiated
peace.
A lasting peace based upon the prom
Use of Teheran.
Insistence that all men belong to 6
single human race and are entitled tC
certain inalienable rights, regardless o.
color, race or creed.
The continuation Of full production
and full employment in a peacetim'
economy of abundance.
Maintenance of the huge industria

AffdSW auxiliary members Stella Zorn,
Helen Cook, Mary Geicek, Catherine
Penney and others popularized the po-
litical action council through the work
Of the social committee and raised the
funds necessary for a successful cam
paign These women workers, particu-
larly in Butte, carried out their work in
the face Of bitter opposition and in spite
of all the SANDER and attempts at in
limitation. During the heat of the CAM
paign every conceivable pressure was
used to force them to drop out Of the
work, but they held their ground and
did a splendid job.
Between now and the general election
in November the political action eoun-
ellis will consolidate their forces, expand
their membership, conduct a broad edu-
cational program and registration drive
to insure the election Of the entire slate
Of progressive candidates. They expect
to become permanent organizations and
will continue to work for progressive
legislation after the elections.

Quoting from Labor Looks Ahead" by
DR.. VIM. Withers for the Workers Edu-
cation Bureau of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, IF organized labor is to
have the kind of postwar economic
world it wants it must act forcefully and
quickly and in cooperation with liberal
farm and middle class elements which
today have many interests in common
with labor. To achieve these joint in
terests we must % insure the election
Of liberal congressman and defeat those
unsympathetic to organized labor; (2-)
we must elect liberal president; 80 we
must plan a counter-economic program
to match that of business; and "a we
must take steps to implement labors
program. To achieve these four goals,
more than collective bargain and legis-
lative action will be needed. Labor must
constitute itself as the liberal school
master of the nation. Widespread edu-
cation on economic matters was never
more needed in our entire national MS
tory. Motion that this bulletin be turned

A real "GI bill of rights" for our re-
turning veterans.

of all working people.
A decent old age pension system.
Development of the Missouri river
along the lines of the IVA for the bene-
fit Of the people rather than the Mon
tana Power Company.
This brief sketch barely touches upon
the highlights of the legislative program
but even this is enough to show that
the council knows what it wants and
means business.
In getting this program before the
public and in carrying out the election
campaign, the most important develop
ment was the establishment of county
political action councils in some fifty
Of Montana's Sc counties. Typical OF
how these county organizations work is
the campaign of the Silver Bow Coun-
Gil for Progressive Political Action with
headquarters in Butte, which is organ
lied on the same representative basis as
the state council.
The Butte council established a cam
ptign committee which is headed by
Glen Zorn, Butte Miners Union No. /
NINISW Zorn. who is also secretary OF
the Butte council. started the campaign
by launching an educational and regis
tration drive among all of the people
of the county Thousands Of copies ol
leaflets, pamphlets, cards bulletins anC
other literature We're given the wides
possible distribution. All labor and farm
organizations were contacted and thei
support solicited.
Teams We're organized and each can
didate campaigned on an organized ba
sis and supported every other candi
date. Every piece of literature including
candidates cards, listed all Of the othe
candidates on the same level. This, anC
the fact that the campaign COMMITTEE
headed by zorn was able to carry ou
its work in an orderly manner, uniteC
all Of the candidates and all Of the pro
gressive forces to guarantee against tn
rise of factionalism.
Another important factor in the pro
gram was and is the splendid work anC
Leadership of the women members, many
of whom are members of AINGSW auXil
iaries. Outstanding work in providing
state leadership was done by Mrs. Cath
crime Penny of the NfNISW auxiliary anC
the state CWA-CIO board, Mrs. Eleano
Smole of the NIlASW auxiliary and can
didate for state legislature, and Margare
Enyart who is legislative chairman o
the CWA-CIO. In the Butte counci

fit Of shade from the sun, shelter from
storms and cold weather, water TO drink
and a sufficient supply Of food at all
times. With the aforesaid understand
ing and promises, the Society agreed to
the dismissal Of the prior complaint
which was based on the defendants pre-
vious violations of law.
Society's Purposes
A spokesman for the Society explained
to the Court at the time of the afore-
said agreement and court decision, that
it was the policy Of the Society to pre-
vent cruelties to dumb animals wherver
they find them and that it was not in
terested in any other matters, but as to
the humane laws Of the state, it is the
Society's endeavor to enforce them re-
gardless of the individual involved.

to loyalty TO the party as whole. The
practice Of Butte people following Gus
tom and tradition in voting was con-
demned.
After the nominations, Mr.. Spiegel
announced that campaign, finance and
other committees will be announced in
the near future. The four men nomi-
mated are presented to the voters with
the highest recommendation, all of them
deserving and anticipating the support
Of organized labor at the general elec-
ton.
The labor unions Of Butte by this
action have branched out on new road.
Victory for these men will mean a great
deal to the political effort of organized
labor here.

political offices by the Central Labor
body. Some seem to feel that regardless
of whether the Democratic party is the
dominant party or not, that it would
help to bring more harmony into the
labor political effort, if more reeogni-
ton were given to adherents Of other
parties. This line Of reasoning was
countered by a statement that through
out the whole country there is evidence
Of the breaking down of party loyalties
and that more attention is being given
to the individual candidate, rather than

in the spring of 1910 we still had
10 million unemployed. They re-
member that under the New Deal
we had to have a war to get jobs.
That's why they want fourth
term and 16 years of the New
Deal. That is one of the very
good reasons why it's time for a
change.
Just for moment let's look
at the way this tired administra-
ton bungled its way into con-
version for war production. Then
We will know how we'll they can
convert for peace and for jobs
after the war. In August,
1889, more than six years after
Hitler came to power, Mr..
Roosevelt finally created a
War Resources Board under
Edward r. Stettinius. It worked
for three months and brought in
report, but the report was
buried and the board quietly died.
The report Is still a secret after
five years. Like so many other
things, we will never know about
1t until a new administration
opens the record of these past IL
years. 3
With Poland conquered, Hitler
took Norway and invaded the
Lowlands. At last, in response to
public pressure, on May Is, 1910,
Mr.. Roosevelt acted. He created
the Office for Emergency Man

No. 8,248.

daily papers carried stories u
internal diss0nsions within the
board. After It finally blew up,
Mr.. RooeeveltB only comment
Was that he had, 81 course, been
aware Of dissension but he had
hoped It would disappear"
Administrators TOO Tired"
Judging by the words Of my
opponent It has become dread
fully clear that his administra-
tion Is too tired even to do the
job at hand. It Is obviously too
tired for the job ahead.
We need q house cleaning in
Washington. We need clear lines
Of authority with competent men
to carry out their jobs. We need
team work In our Government.
That's why It's time for 4 change.
The American people have sue
ceeded In the face Of every DIFF
ficulty In sending overwhelming
supplies to our armed forces.
Within Z new administration we
can speed victory and also Be
ready for reconversion to peace
time jobs.
Is there any chance the New
Deal can ever do this job ahead?
Not according to its own best
friends. Even Henry Wallace
last year described the who pic
ture as bureaucracy at its
worst" and he added. 1T is utterly
1nexcusable In nation at war"
Now listen to Richard r.
Frankenstein, vice president of
the CLIO Auto Workers Union
and delegate to the national con-
vention In which the great Demo-
cratic party was taken over by
Earl Browder and Sidney HILL
man. Here's what he said: 1.-THE
trouble Is that no adequate over
all planning is being done to
insure orderly reconversion
which will lead into a postwar
period Of full employment"
Raps Feeble Hopes
How in the name OF the future
Of our country can such an adj
ministration be intrusted with
the vital task Of creating peace
time jobs? How can we move
ahead to peacetime jobs and
opportunity under an administra-
ton that has no cure for dis
sension within Its own ranks ex-
cept for the, feeble hope that
ut would disappear?"
How can we trust our future
to an administration which
talks out Of one side of its mouth
about Government ownership of
all factories, while out Of the
other side of its mouth 1t softly
disavows Its Communist sup
porters?
On January 20 Of next year
we shall restore honesty to our
Government SO that it's spoken
word can be trusted. We shall
proceed to put into effect a pro-
gram to recover those things we
have lost and to make them
secure.
This program I have already
outlined in part.

BY CASPAR NAMES.

One Sunday after Theodore
Roosevelt became President he was
leaving the chapel of the Grace
Evangelical and Reformed Church
with his young son Archie. Sud-
denly the boy looked up at T. R. in
CONSERVATION.
"Oh, father" he said, II have the
wrong hat"
T.R. kept walking IF it is better
than yours, my son." he replied
keep it."
The humor and humanity in the
incident illustrates the personality
which endeared Theodore Roosevelt
to the congregation of which he was
so much a part. The President was
always early in his pew, so much
so people used to set their watches
by his entrance. One day he was
late. Heads turned, people whis-
pered. newcomers stared After the
service, Roosevelt sought out D. O.
Thomas, deacon and head usher,
and apologized for being late, prom
ising never to let 1t happen again
1t never did.
Rememberances of T. r. are still
present in the church. The pew
he used in the present church,
marked with his name plate, is in
the third row, left, from the front
The pew he occupied in the old
chapel is in the social room. Above
it in a small glass case are his
hymn book and other mementos
At the other end of the room is his
portrait. painted by j. Redding
Kelly, who met him at an art GAL
lery in New York, made pencil
sketches OF him after securing per-

with the aid of photographs.
Grace congregation came into
being on October Z, 1877, when IA
persons organized the "St. Stephen s

ington" in the YMCA Hall at Ninth

the name was changed to Grace
Mission of the Reformed Church in

The congregation met at the

that will harm you, if We be fol-
lowers of that which is good?
This promise is made to us from
our God No Baptist preacher,
Jewish rabbi. or Catholic priest has
the authority to promise these
things.
The scripture herein declares that
the eyes of the Lord are over the
righteous and his ears are opened
to their prayers.
That should be enouh to make
every mother shout If she is a
Christian.
This should be enough to make
every soldier. sailor and girl away
from home say Glory to God" If
they are Christians.
Verse 13 says who is he that will
harm you, if We be followers of that
which is good.
Will you believe these promises to-
day?
When God declares who is he who
can harm you, this means the bull
lets that fly, the enemies that are
now trying to take from us the
freedom Of worship, and the things
we love and enjoy.
This also should teach us that If
the eyes of the Lord are watching
us, we should be careful where we
go and what we do, knowing that
the eyes of the Lord are upon us.
