Gentlemen:
So that the people will know the
viewpoint of a non-partisan voter,
wish to give my impression of the
S. C. (Sham) Ford Republican rally
few days ago. First, the audience
consisted of large number of repub-
licans, but with about fifty percent
democrats and non-partisan voters
who were anxious to hear what the
candidates had to offer. We listened
to the governors speech, together
with those of Mr. Ecton and Mr.. d.
Ewart. Not one had any constructive
suggestions. Mud-slinging and name
calling was the order of the day. The
rally would have left better impress
sion if Ford had not attended. The
other two farm boys, about whom |
know little, but who, together with
Ford, consistently stressed the fact
that they represented Americanism
and called the democratic candidates
communists. The facts are, I consider
the democratic candidates real liberals
and not communists, while both Ecton
and D'Ewart are representatives of
the fascist group who would like to
control the nation and who have done
so for large period of our memorable
time. When l speak of fascism mean
a person who believes in monopolies,
is against the Sherman antitrust law,
for interlocking directorships, and for
26 Broadway which, through our Fed
eral Reserve Bank, controls our econo-
mic life; strong believers in cartels,
race prejudice and almost anything
that the fascists and nazis stood for,
and yet they contend that this is the
American way of life and represents
free enterprise.
Both on Roosevelt "Gravy Train"
These two republican congressional
annHfdofoc both ~
gravy train for the past ID
years, getting advantage of all farm
subsidies and farm prices which now
stand at $3.50 of parity. They have
grown rich through this liberal form
Of substituting, and are now willing to
bite the hand that fed them and gave
them this additional amount of assets |
at the expense of the white-collar
workers and consumers of the nation |
My viewpoint of the whole political |
picture is that over 500 of our re-
publicans are fascists, the balance |
being liberal minded individuals, |
while the democrats have about 1870 |
ascists mostly southern democrats), |
$50 liberals and 1870 communists. 1t
would be an ideal setup if the liberal
minded individuals in both the repub-
lean and democratic parties would
weed out the stand-pat fascists and
he communists who really have the
anne theology in that they favor die
and truly centralize govern
nent controlled by a minority group.
In my humble opinion, the voters of
Montana should support the present
by sending three demo-
ratio representatives to congress to
Import our democratic regime-at
east until 1948. For the last two years
he fascist republicans and southern
have INSTRUCTED all con-
tructive legislation and our chief
xecutive needs a really uniform con-
ress to accomplish results both in
omestic and foreign issues. If this is
ot done by 1948, l believe both
ouses of congress, together with our
resident, should be rejected and a
ew regime set up, headed by Warren
