Discussing the proposed British
loan, Wheeler spoke 3 or 4 hours, and
showed himself so ignorant OF his
subject that freshman senator from
Arkansas took about 10 minutes to de-
molish his argument as plain nom
sense. Wheeler of course had to in
ject a lot of disunity propaganda into
his speech, referring in disparaging
manner to Russia about 20 times, and
speaking of rescuing Britain from
"Russia's clutches" Claws four
times. AS a preacher of International
disunity and discord, he is tops.
Wheeler has spent SO much time In
recent years meddling in international
affairs that he has almost completely
lost sight of domestic affairs. An ex-
ample of his ignorance, in a recent
speech in the senate on the then pend
ing coal strike he said about year
ago (this was May 7, 1946) a great
explosion occurred in a mine in my
state, in which 80 or 40 men were
killed and many badly MANNED" AS
matter of fact, the explosion occurred
more than three years before that and
70 odd men were killed, but very few
were manned. But why go on with de-
tails of this mans record as isolation
ist, as chronic obstructionist, as neg
lecter of the interest and welfare of
his country and his constituents.
Beside LABOR, Wheeler has the
endorsement of LIFE magazine and
other big business publications of it's
type; he has the support of the most
re-actionary press, such as the Chica-
go Tribune, the Washington Times
Herald and the best wishes of the
Hearst papers. If the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers and the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce are not sup
porting him, they certainly should.
Wheeler can now be rightly termed
a professional politician, having held

office for about 80 of the 80 years he
has lived in Montana. During that
time he has been aligned with any
group upon which he could rely to
win his detectives. Starting out as
flaming liberal, he has abandoned his
original supporters and aligned him
self with conservative and reaction
airy elements in both state and nation.
Claiming to be democrat, he has,
in subservience to his political mas
tiers double crossed two OF his party's
nominees for governor, (Roy Ayers
and Left Erickson) it's nominee for
u. S. senator, James e. Murray and
bas used all of his power and prestige
to elect republicans to congress from
Montana (the Infamous Thorkelson
and Jeanette Ranking. For years, he
has had first place publicity in the
corporation-owned daily papers of
Montana, and of the corporation in
fluenced weeklies, as we'll Under his
guidance and influence, every con-
sentative democrat in Montana has
been induced to support republican
candidates recommended by him. Not
only has he supported republicans for
the most important places in this
state; in both 1910 and 1914, he OPP
posed the reelection of Franklin d.
Roosevelt to the presidency (Not OPP
emily, of course).
Still falsely claiming to be demo-
crat and a liberal, in spite of his re-
cord to the contrary, he seeks fifth
term in the senate, and still thinks
liberals and democrats should support
him, although he has no just claim
upon either. Politics is too important
to be left to the professional politician,

voting in elections and which was eff
fective until recently in eight south
ern states. Twice the bill had passed
the House and gone to tie Senate,
and twice it has been killed in the
latter body with Wheelers help.
Wheeler could have helped pass both
bills by simply voting to close debate
on them, but he chose to aid the fill
busterers instead.
Is Wheeler Lazy, AS Has Been
Charged, Or Is He Just Negligent?
On Friday, June IA, at 600 p. m.
Wheeler called up bill prepared by
his Interstate Commerce committee,
amending the bankruptcy law as re-
lated to railroads, and ON Saturday he
made long, rambling speech on be-
half of his bill, weeping over the
plight of workingmen, widows and
orphans whose stocks and junior
bonds, equivalent to second mort
gages) had been wiped out under the
law he sought to amend. He told the
senate that the amount of two and one
half billion dollars worth of such
stocks and bonds had been made
yalueless by action of federal courts
under whose jurisdiction bankrupt
railroads had been handled. This law
had been in effect for IL years, during
which time Z or of the nations great
railroad systems had gone into bank
ruptcy, and all the wrongs (if any
had been committed upon stock and
bondholders had been going on, yet
Wheeler and his powerful committee,
whose duty it was to look after such
matters, only recently took action to
correct them. Incidentally, Wheeler
spoke in praise of the Great North
ern's Management, which he said had
