$50 long as am in the senate al
going to fight for American policie
and | am not going to be a rubbe
stamp for any person, group or clas
least OF all for a crowd of New Yor
Communists who know nothing {
Montana problems and care less.
"These New York Pinks and tn
PAC are mot financing my campaig
and they won't ever be able to tell m
how to vote" Senator Wheeler q
Westby Montana.
Adolph Hitler, dead or alive, left
heritage for INSCRIPTIONS politicians
He left them, not only an axiom, blu
proof that the axiom worked. This wa
the theory that the more audaciou
the lie the more chance of it beins
believed. Senator Wheeler is nov
testing this principle on the Montana
electorate.
Senator Wheeler says that the PEG
pie of New York State know nothing
Of Montana problems and care less
That is lie The people of New York
know that the MVA would be the
finest thing that ever happened to the
people of Montana because they know
how the IVA has enriched the lives
of the people of the Tennessee Val
lev. The people of New York as we'll
as the people of forty-seven other
states know that Senator Wheeler has
done more than any other man in this
country to keep the people of Mon
tana from reaping the great benefits
and prosperity from the MVA that the
people of the Tennessee Valley are
reaping from the IVA.
Why should the people of New York
care more for Montana and its prob
lens than Montana's senior senator?
Because the Montana Power company
of New Jersey does not contribute to
national prosperity and the people of
New York know how much the IVA
has contributed to national prosper
ity. No measure which contributes to
national prosperity fails to benefit,
not only the people Immediately eff
fected, but spreads it's benefits to
everyone in the country wherever they
may live. Such measures are like rip
pies in still water when one drops a
stone: the motion of the water is
spread in ever widening circles. Pros
perity in any section of the country
means more prosperity for all Ameri-
cans. Senator Wheeler knows this,
but unlike the people of New York, he
is concerned with prosperity for him
self and his hackers. His concern is
not for the people or the country.
Senator Wheeler's job is to assist
in the wise government, not only of
Montana, but of the United States His
burden in office is the welfare of all
Americans. Apparently this is not his
notion of his job. But since his actions
in the senate vitality effect every per-
son in the United States, the residents |
the Montana congressional elections |
They are minding their own business
as citizens when they ask the Mon
tana electorate to throw out a bad |
egg.
Senator Wheeler's biggest lie in
this campaign is his running as a
democrat He is not democrat, he is
! republican. He is campaigning on
The current republican platform deter
mined by Senator Taft and Represen-
,ative Reese that the choice now for
he American people is between re-
action and communism. He hopes to
ntimidate the voters with his red
scare. He is blowing up the red
spectre on the streets of every town
n the state, of every rural community.
