Dear Editor:
From the National Union Farmer
quote: "The power companies in
the United States have employed
through large Philadelphia advertis-
ing agency $1,000 a month men to
battle the MVA in each of the states
in the basin. Their pay, plus a lib.
eral expense allowance is to be raised
through kick-backs from concerns
which sell supplies to the power COM
panies, the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
said in an article published May ~.
In other words suppliers will add the
cost Of the propagandists to their bids
on supplies, so the cost of the anti
MVA propaganda campaign will not
show up in the power company &C
counts" End of quote. William Jen-
nings Bryan told the people years ago
the danger of this accumulation of
money in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
men. This fight of the power COM
panies of the whole United States is
to elect Wesley A. D'Ewart to con-
gress and to defeat the Missouri Val
ley Authority. If the people will elect
Leo C. Graybill to congress then he
will fight for the MVA against the
power trust Who wants the power
companies to deprive the farm woman
and men of better life with less
drudgery by the use of cheaper cleo
tricity? Have we enough Christians
who will for the sake of humanity
break the grip of this corporation
greed. When Christians vote for the
candidates of the corporations and
chambers of commerce they simply
give them the power to exploit the
consumer. Is that Christianity snob-
or what? Hypocracy is ram
pant everywhere. Why is it this. re-
publican machine bucks everything
the people must have, or need. Why
do our church people, farmers, wage
sarners and consumers vote against
themselves so much.
The people must stand behind the
MVA with full force. The way Gov
srnor Ford set the election there was
IN time for people to register that
was deliberately done. The
people are to blame for this dirty
politics in Montana
This is a democracy and to preserve
t we must work for the benefit of
he people to vote right. When the
,ower trust and all selfish groups,
rain absolute control of our nation,
democracy will be destroyed. People
10 not seem to understand that what
lind of government will, they give
is in place of a democracy, nazism
II fascism, dictator They are very
already some selfish groups
AVE been trying to disfranchise a
OF of the people. Did not the re-
ublicans when the depression was so
ad, millions of men had to take gov
rnment jobs to eat. Then these re-
ublicans who were to blame for the
epression wanted to take the right
0 vote away from the millions, have
eople forgotten that? Have we for
often what Lincoln said at Gettys-
urg, "That this nation under God,
hall have a new birth of freedom,
nd that government of the people, by
he people, and for the people, shall
OF perish from the earth.''
And we vote to help these selfish
roups to destroy democracy, who in
evious ways seek to destroy the
over of the ballot of the people
OPTICIANS get millions so they get
ut to fool the people to vote for
leir candidates. When Christians
ote against the MVA they sin
