AND THE LITTLE BUSINESS
MAN

Just one thing more. At the very
moment Senator Murray was telling
the wonderful things he and the
Democratic administration were do
ing for the little business man, a
sign hung in the door of the Libby
Bakery-"Closed: No Shortening"
Twice before similar signs had hung
there. One read: Closed; No Sugar"
The other closure was for another
shortage. At the very time the Lib
by Bakery was forced to close, the
big city bakeries were flooding
Libby with bread and pastry. Does
that look like helping the little fell
low?
No, the drawing of herrings across
the trail the erecting of bogey-men
to mislead and confuse the people,
are not going to fool the people.

gust is setting in all over the nation.

AND HOW ABOUT COMMUNISM?

The good Senator urged his
audience to keep the Democrats in
power and save the nation from
Communism. Surely, he slipped
badly there.
Let's go into the record. It's a
matter of simple historical record
that the Communist party of the
United States, in the presidential
campaign of 1914, refused to put a
presidential candidate in the field
but instead urged its Communistic
followers to vote for Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt. We don't say for
a minute that President Roosevelt
was a Communist but very evil
IDENTIFY the Communists liked his
policies and principles.
And take a recent series of ar
ticles in the Saturday Evening Post,
written by Michael F. REILLY, the
head of the Secret Service detail
named to protect the life of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. REILLY held that
post for years and came, of course,
in closest contact with the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. In one
article REILLY tells how Mrs. Roose-
welt was in the habit of inviting
Communists into the White House
as her guests, and the Secret Ser
vice was afraid to have these Com
munists so close to the President
So they protested to Mrs. R. And
her reply was, in effect, that II
was no ones business whom she
invited into her home and she would
do as she pleased. Whereupon
writes REILLY, whenever the Secret
Service learned that Mrs R. had
invited another Communist to the
White House, they would type out
on a sheet of paper the Communists
record and see that it got into Mrs
RS hands. And that put a stop tC

Here we have condition OF on and
off, and again on and off, all in the
short space of about six months.
How, may we ask, could anyone
know what to do? The farmer
didn't know whether to hold or sell
his livestock, the packer was short
Of animals and couldn't supply his
retail customers, and he couldn't
tell what the price would be from
one week to another The retail
man couldn't get meat to sell much
of the time And even when he
could get meat, he sometimes
wouldn't be allowed to sell it. AS
witness the article published in a
recent Sunday Spokesman-Review,
in which two meatmarket men,
names given, in the Spokane valley,
were permitted to operate their
meatmarket only about 10 to IL
days month. Why? Because they
were held down to a certain quota
and when they had sold that quota,
they had to close their doors. And
these men had livestock of their
own and were not permitted to
sell it at a time when their COM
munity was crying for meat.
Well that merely is one example
of the bungling and confusion that
has plagued this nation for months.
And who is to blame? It's the Demo
cratic congress and a Democratic
president.
The Democratic party has had
complete and absolute control of the
congress ever snee- 1888. Ever since
then, the Democrats have had an
ample majority in the Congress. If
errors have resulted in scarcity,
confusion and waste, the blame lies
upon those who had control of the
law-making powers of our govern
ment. And their control has re-
suited in unheard of confusion
waste, extravaganza, and high prices
Now, the President would like to
lay the blame onto the Republicans
But the nation will not be fooled
by this attempt to pass the buck
it's the Democratic party that has

had unquestioned control of cong
ress for every moment since 1888
And this Democratic inefficiency
and confusion have left a nation
that has been and should be land
of superlative profusiOn deprived OF
nearly everything the people need
in their daily living-there's a scar
city of meat, sugar, nylons, shorten
ing, shoes, underwear, suits, dresses,
automobiles, trucks, building ma
terials, pepper, pajamas, overalls,
gloves, shirts, etc. etc, etc. Yes,
they even reduced us to short shirt
tails.
And the public is sick and tired
of this mess. Reports from all over
the nation are unanimous to the
effect that a Republican sweep is
under way. An angered and aroused
people are convinced that IT'S
TIME FOR A CHANGE.

And the Democrats are hard put
to stem this swelling tide of anger
Consider the recent address of Sena-
tor Murray in Libby. Did he touch
upon the highly important issues
of the day? Hardly, not by a To-
foot pole. Instead he employed the
usual tactics of a crafty politician
in face of a difficult situation and
dragged a hearing across the trail
to lead the minds of the people
away from their troubles into other
channels. He placed before them

was Lincoln, the first Republican
president, who put an end to human
slavery.
Now, we hold no brief for the
wicked corporations Many of
them deserved prosecution for their
acts, and some of them undoubtedly
will still be prosecuted. But why
didn't the Senator, in his discussion
of ancient history, state that the

president? And the first big fight
against the "malefactors of great

founding thing? Here we have the

States inviting into the White
House Communists the Secret Ser
vice was afraid to have near the

And then there is the Youth
Movement Senator Murray spoke of
as fine accomplishment of the
Democratic administration. He didn t
state that serious charges were
launched against the character of
this youth movement, that it was
claimed it had become impregna-
ted with Communists and Com
munist teachings to such an extent
that the Congress finally refused
further appropriations for it.
Is the Democratic party saving
the nation from Communism? Read
an excerpt from a speech delivered
by J. Edgar Hoover, head of the
famous FBI, while speaking before
the national convention of the
American Legion at San Francisco
on September 30, 1896 Said the
head of the FBI:
past AAfC
American Communists have made
their deepest inroads upon our
national life. In our Wanted toler-
ance for all peoples the Com
munists have found our Achilles
heel The American Legion repre-
sents a force which holds within
its power the ability to expose the
hypocrisy and ruthlessness of this
foreign ism which has crept into
our national life-an ism built and
supported by dishonor, deceit, ty-
ranny and q deliberate policy of
falsehood."
Who was in control of the gov
eminent while these deepest in
roads" were being made into our
nation life?" The Democratic
administration, of course.
THE OLD, OLD TARIFF
In a further attempt to mislead
the people, Senator Murray blamed
the Republicans for the wicked
tariff. He didn't say that it is a
mere fact of record that whenever
legislation has been proposed to
lower the tariff on Montana's pro-
ducts, invariably Democratic con-
gressmen have fought for the pro
tective tariff just as ardently as
the Republicans. And this is true
all over the nation It's all right
to take the tariff off the other fell
lows products but not off mine. So,
of late years, that CAM hardly be
called a party issue.

Twenty Persons Hurt

Twenty persons were injured
two OF them suffering broken
backs-in a train wreck on the

A spokesman for the Mount

oprates the scenic COG line, said
that a flat car broke loose at the
summit of the mountain and sped
down the track into an up-bound
passenger tram.
"1r is believed by the manage

prank or through curiosity releas-
ed both safety devices on the flat
car, although it is not definitely
known" said railway manager
Arthur F. Peague.
All available ambulances, station
wagons and private automobiles
were pressed into service to ar

hospital in nearby Berlin.
Hospital authorities said that two
of the patients received there were
suffering broken backs.
