Left Erickson
Spoke Thurs.

Stating that "bureaucrat is a
democrat holding an office desired
by some republican" Left Erickson,
democratic candidate for the u. S.
Senate to succeed Senator Burton
Wheeler from Montana, captured
the attention of his audience in his
opening remarks Thursday evening
OF last week when he spoke at the
nigh school auditorium in Libby
The speaker challenged the re-
publicans to define what they mean
when they state they are "the cham
pions of free enterprise" The demo-
cratic party, he asserted, saved free
enterprise following the period of
our greatest and most severe de-
preston, depression which he
stated, we inherited from the ad-
ministrations of Harding. Coolidge
and Hoover. The democratic adj
ministration under the leadership of |
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, took |
direct action to save the business
structure of our country during
time when business institutions |
were going bankrupt every day.
In discussing the national debt, |
the speaker remarked this need be
no reason for despair, and stated .
that the country is much better
off financially than it was in 1892.
The great debt incurred by the war
will be met, he said by the income
from the great expansion in all
methods of business. He stated that
his party will support labor and
made the claim that labor's average
wage throughout the nation has /
doubled since 1892
The Candidate complimented the 7
republican party on its Catchy t
phrase" of Had Enough?" He then
asked: do they mean have you a
lad enough of Social Security, I'M i
compensation, bank il
deposit security and the right to or v
,anize and bargain collective1y-is S
his what they mean by Had I
Returning to the sub h
ect of burocracy, Erickson adj r.
led: "The republican candidate for e
ongress from this district states y
hat his major objective is the abol- &
shment of Bureaucrats from the t
government. However, this can e
idate's record of employment since 2;
ecOmlng resident or Montana, l.
hoWs' he has never worked for bI
rivate employer, but only for the te
orest or park services, bureau of SC
ne government. &;
In conclusion, the speaker re- W
larked that this area should have tn
lore industries, and suggested a te
aper mill which he stated will be st
tactical as soon as more and ~
reaper power is available in the az
immunity TO
The gathering was presided over sh
Y Irwin B. Flesher, who introduced IN
lie various democratic candidates CT
r county offices. Following the III
Getting, Mr. Erickson and his 1e
aveling companion, Capt Lukki- OF
n of Poison were entertained at IN
