WHY DID B. X. WHEELER KEEP MUM ON
ACM'S SUPPL YING Defective WAR
MATERIEL TO OUR SOLDIERS?
Many Young American Lives We're Snuffed Out by Faulty
Anaconda Cable & Wire Products? Why Didn't Blk Air
This Traitorous Activity in the Congress?

What we will call the screening
test" (the primaries) will take place
July 16.
Solely for the purpose of bringing to
an end the agreement cordial between
Senator Wheeler and the Anaconda
casting off the sinister shackles of
the A. c.. M.-Wheeler brand of fascism
we record few of the more convin-
cling proofs of the unholy alliance
an alliance which perpetrates and
condones acts of sabotage against the
United States government
You do not know, we do not know,
and no one will ever know how many
young American lives were crushed
out in the scores on unexplainable
airplane accidents which might have
been caused by the faulty war mate
rial manufactured by the Anaconda
Wire and Gable Company.
The fact that fine of well over
one million dollars was paid by the
Anaconda indicates conclusive ly
that a vast amount of defective war
material was supplied for the use of
the armed forces of the United States.
Never by printed word, in news
papers or congressional record, did
Senator Wheeler record condemna
ton or criticism of this act of sabot-
age by the Anaconda company.
Never by so much as whispered
word, in the halls of congress or on
public rostrum, did Senator Wheeler
express disapproval.
In the weeks and months preceding
the outbreak of World war II, Sena-
tor Wheeler, as paid speaker for the
America First Committee" toured
the country, delivering Buckingham
speeches which gave encouragement
to Hitler and received the plaudits
of the Bundists in the United States,
and in Central and South America.
After the declaration of war, Sena-
tor Wheeler desisted in his cross
country TRADES against the Roosevelt |
administration, but took another tack |
in the United States cenate, and |
ton of his and your country at war,
thereby contributing further to en-
of Hitler and the con-
tinued approval of the Bundists.
On the floor of the United States
senate, Senator Wheeler continued his
in which he indicated
to the Hitler U-boat commanders that
our American boys were on the high
seas en- route to Iceland, to be targets
Of Hitler's murderous aggressors.
When the Hitler legions invaded
Norway and put under the iron heel
Of nazism the inhabitants of that
and sturdy little nation,
many of whose descendants and re-
atives operate farms in Montana,
never by spoken or penned word did
Senator Wheeler enter protest.
The rape of Poland, France, the
horrors of Lidice, the wholesale muir
lers and destruction in the Ukraine,
he slaughter of 200 unarmed Ameri-
an prisoners of war by the nazis in
he Battle of the Bulge, and countless
Their unspeakable atrocities, none of
hese evoked the outward emotions of
Iontana's senior senator nor stirred
is vocal cords back into action.
The senior senator's record is clear.
onclusive and decisive as a public
ervant who failed to perform his
uty in accord with announced prin-
piles of mankind and American tradi-
ons.
Whether you be business or profess
onal man, whether you be farmer,
orker or white collar man, whether
ou be democrat, republican or indie
endent, it is your duty as American 1
tizens to go to the polls on July 16 I
Id register disapproval of the public
cord of Senator Wheeler.
1t is your duty and obligation as
val Montanans, to remember and
we're the memory and deeds of the
ms and daughters of Montana who
rived in the armed forces.
The elimination of Senator Wheeler
