Changed Virginia Bill
Would LET Wallace
Candidates on Ballot
By Alex R. Preston
S.og Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 27-A re-
vised version Of Gov. Tuck's
program to prohibit the names
of presidential and vice presi-
dental candidates from appear
ing on Virginia ballots in No
vember was reported to the
House of Delegates today.
Electors for Henry A. Wallace
and any other "insurgent" candi-
dates could be voted on under the
new plan.
Under Mr.. Tuck's proposals
designed to leave this States electors
free to vote for some one other than
President Truman If he seeks re-
election-only the names of the
electors In the Electoral College
would be printed on the ballot in the
fall election.
These developments came less
than "a hours after Gov. Tuck de-
livered a message to the General
Assembly which set the pattern for
other Southern States in their re-
volt against the President because
of his Federal civil rights program.
House Floor Leader E. Blackburn
Moore, a next-door neighbor of Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
and legislative spokesman for the
Tuck administration here, said he
would not press for immediate con-
sideration of the bill as amended
in the House today.
Contrary to some interpretations
OF the bill as introduced" he said
"the voters of Virginia would know
positively prior to the general elec-
ton exactly what instructions had
been issued by the State conventions
of the various parties to their can
didates for electors. If no instruc-
tions are issued, the electors of a
party would be obligated to vote fol
the nominees of the national con-
vention of the party for President
and Vice President.
Under this legislation, there
would be absolutely no infringement
on the rights of the voters"
Two amendments were proposed
to the Privileges and Elections
Committee Immediately before the
House convened today and they
were quickly adopted after a brie1
executive session.
Wallace Electors Allowed.
The amendment that would per.
NIT Wallace supporters to name
electors permits any president anc
vice presidential candidate who has
qualified in ten other States to ap.
pear on the Virginia ballot.
The bill, as previously drawn, pro-
hibited the names of electors of any
national candidates whose party had
not appeared on Virginia ballots
within the previous five years.
The second amendment woulo
change the bill as introduced, which
permitted any party committee tc
instruct the electors whom to sup
port for President and Vice Presi-
dent, to require this action to be
taken by State party convention
instead.
Earl Lutz, executive secretary Of
the Virginia Republican Committee
argued that the Governors legisla-
ton clearly violates the State con-
stitution which prohibits party desig-
nations appearing on the ballots
Mr.. Moore retorted that excellent
legal sources" had already checked
the legality of the bill.
The committee also denied a re-
quest of another member of the
audience that a public hearing be
held on the legislation

Tdrget Places Third
In Retriever
Triols ot Billings

Target, registered Golden Re
triever owned by Bill Christian
sen of Hardin, placed third in
the non-Winner stake of the
field trial held in Billings Oc-
tober 16 and II.
The event, sanctioned by the
American Kennel club, was the
second annual meet held by the
Montana Retrievers club and
attracted a large field of top
notch dogs. A sterling silver
trophy and a ribbon were pre-
Sented to Target.
Target was third in a field of
"a dogs which competed in the
stake. His excellent work on
both land and water double re-
trieveS earned him his high DO
sition among the many older
and more experienced dogs. Due
to the severity of the tests,
along with high winds and cold
weather, only five dogs com
pleted the series. Target, who
will be only two years old in
February competed with dogs
from Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
South Dakota and Canada, and
was the youngest dog to place
in the event. -
During the meet he was
handled by his owner. The win
marked the fourth time the dog
had run in the money when
handled by his owner.

Dernoc rdt Candidate
Campaigning In
Northern Montdnd

/" John w. Bonner'ss drive
against what he terms "eight
years of bewilderment" gained
impetus this week as the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor
prepared to take his fight into
the Highlands Of the state from
Havre to Sidney.
The candidates JWo-a-day
appearances at political rallies
were constant barrages against
the present adm j n is n
which Bonner said completely
beWildered the people of Mon
tana by deliberate reversals of
policies and broken campaign
promises"
His opponents political cam
paign was described as despera-
ton tactics and Bonner said the
third-term aSpirant'S present,
frantic f1agWaving proved him
to be- like a drowning man
grasping at straWs.
. Bonner hammered away also
at charges of corruption and
graft in the state liquor con-
troll system.
The democratic aspirant &C.
cused the state liquor board o1
deliberately sidetrac king Of
wholly evading the liquor issue
and renewed demands for {
complete report and a solution
to the hidden mysteries in TIT
| system.
Montana's highway condition
drew it's share of Bonner's firt
and was described in frequen
talks as the "Montana's roller
coaster" Stunned by tourist
and deplored by our citizens.
Bonner offered his years o
legal experience as an indie:
pendent lawyer, attorney TO.
the railroad commission ant
highway commission, and a.
attorney general as qualifira'
tions for the office. The candi.
date is a native of Montans
and his election would MAKE
him the only governor in STATE
history to be a veteran of either
world war and also the frs
governor to be a graduate Of
any Montana college or univer-
sity.

full this season, according to L.
r. Cool of the agricultural de-
partment of the Hardin factory.

veSting tools, beets have come

two 15-yard penalties.
Lloyd Saunders accurate
passing attack added to the
ground-gaining machine of the
Bulldogs, paced by Som Rag

eleven crossed the goal line
twice in the first quarter. They
tailed twice in the third quart
er, after having added a touch
down in the second frame, then
went over again in the final

The Dogies were handicapped
by the absence of Center Hugh
Hunter, who is hospitalized with
a broken leg received in a pre-

Cattle Feeding
Volume VIII
Increase This Year

Development in the cattle
feeding situation to the end OF
September point to a volume Of
cattle feeding this winter that
may not be greatly different
than the number fed last year,
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies reported today.
Abundant feed grain supplies
are available for feeding, due
chiefly to a record corn crop
of excellent quality. However,
the number Of cattle on feed
October l in several important
Corn Belt States was below the
number on October /, 1947, but
relatively not as much below
the corresponding period a year
earlier as it was in April or
during the summer months.
The feeder movement into the
Corn Belt since July l has been
about as large as a year ago,
but a smaller proportion of
these receipts were put on feed
before October l than last year.
In the West, the Pacific Coast
states will apparently feed more
cattle than last year, while in
the Mountain and Southern
Plains states. cattle feeding is
expected to be the same or ON
a smaller scale. In Colorado, a
reduction is expected from the
record number fed last season.
The most important factors in
the cattle feeding situation this
season are the record feed sup
plies and lower feed prices. On
the other hand, present high
prices Of feeder cattle and the
uncertainty of future prices
Of fed cattle have resulted in a
cautious attitude among feed
erS and financing agencies. The
sharp drop in grain prices and
the recent drop in livestock and
meat prices has intensified this
attitude. The available supply
of feeders is somewhat less this
season than last because of ne
duned inventories.
The 1913 corn crop establish
ed a new production record. The
crop is of excellent quality, and
there is no pressure to feed the.
crop rapidly as was the case
last year in areas where con-
siderable quantities of soft corn
had to be fed rather quickly to.
avoid deterioration. The 1913
oats crop. ALTHOUGH not a re-
cord, is exceeded in only 2 pre-
vious years and is laroer than
last year in all of the Corn Belt
States except Kansas.
