Green's Approval



the 1914 presidential election. Wheel.
er's whole voting record is full of eX
amplcs like this. The common asser-
tion that "on domestic issues Wheel
votes right is a tragic common
tary on the sullibility of some of us
that such statements can be made
and believed.
You will not find Wheeler's policy
clearly stated anywhere in his own
speechcs This is because in common
with all d~cmoeogues his method to
ward his ends is the use Of double
talk. He spreads confusion, suspicion.
doubt ana hate wherever he goes.
Wheeler does not speak FOR anything
good. on the contrary his speeches are
filled with attacks upon the persons
and things that stand for the laborers
welfare. security, prosperity for the
people. for peace. The only hope for
world peace is the success of the Unit.
ed Nations organization. which is the
target of Whecler's favorite tactic the
Whispering campaign" He is tearing
down everything that the UNO stands
for.
Blk Follows Power Trust Line on
Valley Authorities
The greatest opportunity for a hap
nier and more abundant life for mil
lions OF people in Montana and nine
other states has come about in the
plan for the development of the Mis-
souri, Valley similar TO that of the
Tennessee Valley. Senator Wheeler
has written thousands Of letters. made
hundreds Of speeches and used all his
clever resources To sabotage and de-
feat the setting up OF Il Missouri Val
Icy Authority. An MNA is the most
serious threat that Montana's. and the
copper and the power trusts have
leen faced with. Therefore, Wheeler
feels he must try To bring about the
defeat Of an MNA. Still, if the MVA
gress Wheeler may vote for it. Yes.
he may put himself on record with
the single word aye" but only AFT
tR he has used every means. tried
every trick. every lie and half lie,
every threat and promise in his whole
bag of political demagogy to bring
about the defeat of an MVA. and then
Wheeler can boast and say. See,
there it Is. on the record voted for
MNA. Too bad il lost
Wheeler is anti-semetic. Wheeler is
today in the propaganda stage of his
attack against the Jews. What will
his next step be- He has been eau
iiols about his anti .semitism. but not
cautious enough He is on record with
il III black and white.
Quite a Combination-'B.k.' and

to set up a fascist committee of one

UNO, when Wheeler does these things
he is hooking every American boy

stamp out the barbaric face OF fascism
that the rest Of us might live as free
men. He is also mocking every la
boring man as. in every talk and ac
ton he reveals his cynical attitude
toward the people who elected hin
to office.
Many people believe that Wheeler
is the man he was in his younger day.
when he took the side Of the common
man. That man is dead. There is doc
umentary proof that since 1888, fol
at least the last 10 years. Wheeler ha.
been re%actionary. has talked and voted
