The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1948-11-05

Montana's battle for control of the
state legislature was featured by a
complete reversal of control over the
House with the Democrats electing
54 members to the Republicans 36,
thereby affording comfortable
working majority in that body for
Gov.-elect John w. Bonner. While
the Republicans retained control of
the Senate, their top heavy majority
in the 1947 session of Al to Is, was
whitfield down to 81 to "a. The one
vacancy yet to be filled in the Sen
ate, the seat formerly held by the
late Sen. George Cooper, Mineral,
must be filled by the commissioners
of that county.
While most of the senate over
turns featured the defeat of long
time Republican members, notable
exception was the failure of J. B.
Bourassa, fighting liberal from Dan
iels, to gain reelection. Bourassa,
one of the very best senators in the
1947 assembly, was unable to over

Liberty county, replacing Sen. Leo
nard Plank who has moved to Cali
fornia. Also elevated to the senate
was Rep. Leroy Anderson, d., Pom
dera, who, in his first session of the
Legislature in AT, proved to be not
only an outstanding man on the
floor, but one of the brainiest mem
bers of the lower house. Replacing
Anderson for the House from Pom
dera, is Nick Peterson, former house
and senate member who during his
many years in the legislature, always
voted down the line" for Montana
farmers and workers.

higher state office included: Sen. w.

from the state, always, the
beauty of Montana's noun
tains and the open-hearted
friendship of Montana's peo-
pie, like a magnet, drew him
back to the Treasure state.
After spending a happy year in
the shadows of Americas most beau
tiful mountains, Cap" left the Rec
lamation Service to go to Roundup.
There he spent several years in the
newspaper and mercantile business,
organized a national guard company,
and, until called into service on the
Mexican border with the 163rd In
fantry in 1916, all signs indicated
that the Musselshell would be his
home.
The border troubles had no sooner
been quoted down in typically army
fashion when this nation entered
World War I, and within few
months Cap and his company
found themselves "up front" in
France. Returning from the war a
disabled vet, he spent "stretch" as
a colonel on the Lithuanian army
staff in this country-but-aft in
Vulnerable occasions of being taken
for a brass-buttoned doorman at one
of the swankier hotels in Washing
ton, DC, he gave it up for a bad
job and went to California.
Once in Los Angeles, he soon
found himself back in editors har-
ness, and during the immediate post
war l years he mixed freely with
Hollywood's great and near great
while editing a motion picture mag
azine.
From LA. he, Mrs. Bruce, and
sons went to Texas, and for several
years it was nothing but work" as
they carried out man-killing sched-
ule of operating three newspapers in
an equal number of Texas towns, re-
plete with boomer" printers, etc.
HEART HERE ALWAYS
But always-whether in France, in
California, or in Texas, cap" could
MT erase Montana from his mind,
and finally, just about the time the
great depression hit, cap" and fam
lily came back to the state.
In 1882 cap" was publicity d.
rector for the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee in the successful
to return Sen. Thomas J.
Walsh to the United States Senate.
A little later, as the depression deep
ened, he and a number of other
liberals began to realize the need for
an independent weekly in a state
whose dailies were to large extent
controlled by one corporation. The
result of their efforts was the birth |
of the old Western Progressive with
cap" as editor.
During the early thirties the Farm
ers Union was achieving real growth |
in the state. Montana farmers,
mortgage-ridden, drouth-striken, and |
bankrupt, began realizing only too
well the need for protecting them
selves in the future by owning their
own marketing services. cap"

when MFU finally launched its own

post held until 1916.

ost its status as truly independent

noon and was to 60 through a light

ton for tomorrow's intersectional
game with the University of Tulsa
Both teams will be seeking their
first win of the season and Tulsa Is
favored. The Golden Hurricane is
strong offensive outfit. and most
scores against it this season have
been caused by momentary defen-
sive lapses that let the opposition
through for long gains. Their set
backs have been from Baylor, Flor

were dropping heartbreakers to Holy

Helping to install the Hurricane

Will Reduce Roster
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A dozen major college football
teams risk all-victorious records
tomorrow and the list is certain to
be reduced by at least one by the
time the sun goes down.
That's because two of the select
circle, Northwestern and Michigan,
meet head on at Ann Arbor In q
Big Nine conference struggle that
rates a place as one of the top
games of the day.
Michigan comes up to this one
with victories already earned over
Michigan State, Oregon and Pur-

pearances.
Northwestern has turned back
