! record on those issues
Take the example, the several Republican
aspirants for major office. Does their sienc,
indicate thunderous approval of the mis-
deeds of the 8Oth Congress?
Do they endorse Republican high prices
Do they sanction the shoddy treatment &C
corded World War ii veterans and their fam
lilies in regards to homes, by the 80th Con
gress?
Will they dare to condemn the TaftHartley act fo
what it is-a diabocal scheme concocted by the Ma
tiona Association Manufacturers to the labor
unions of America?
Do they concur in the S0th Congress- action in ex
empting the railroads from prosecution under the anti
trust laws in overriding the Presidential veto of the
Reed Bulwinkle bill?
Do they approve of the slashes of funds western
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS forest service rural electr
fcaton etc. of signing the construction of REA lines
such those proposed in Havre-Shelby area?
These are some of the issues and questions of the
day on which Republican asprants for the congress
take stand. Mssrs. Davis and Rankin in their
pursuit of the senate. and congressional candidates
Angstman and McGinnis cannot "duck" these DOM
este issues if they would receive the votes neces-
sary to send them to Washington in this years
elections.
Similarly with Democratic asprants for federal
posts the issues must be met and stand taken. The
voting records of Senator Murray and Congressman
Mansfield and DEwart available to all who would
read
Senator Murray's primary opponent, Dr. McGregor
seems thus far studiously avoided taking
definite stand on anything himself instead
with attempting to promote cheap 'red smear
of the ablest in the United States senate For
his efforts he deserves sound trouncng July 2Oand
with all probability that's what he'll get.
Second district congressional aspirant the Demo
cratic ticket Willard Fraser unlike most politicians,
has made himself very plain where he stands on
issues He has repeatedly expressed his opposition to
the increasing trend mtarisng of civilian
TaftHartleyism the encroachment civil liberties,
Republican high prices has advocated greater and more
ntegrated development of natural resources etc.
ETC. To date have knowledge that his opponent
Mrs Kngsbury has expressed herself, for against
on any major ISSUE outside of general statement of
support for the policies of Harry Truman.
On the State Level -.
On the state level there are also issues which will
permit equvocaton the parts of the half hundred
odd candidates who busy scurrying around the
state seeking favor with the electorate
We know where Governor Ford stands-he has a
record He's for PckSloan because, according to the
governor, it permits minimum of that monster public
ownership, while at the same time he's for the con-
tinued public (communistc) ownership of the state
liquor set up because it an extremely handsome
profit back to the general fund yearly. Likewise
have the governor constantly in mind every time we
take ride state highway, look at the dread
fu overcrowding and generally lowered standards sur
rounding public school system.
But-for what does his principal COP opponent
'our Lenny' Young stand besides mo third term for
the incumbent GOVERNOR for chasing the Democrats
out of the state house? Surely, he must have at least
sound plank in his patfrom but thus far it has
escaped this writer's attention
over on the Democratic side things aren't quite
SO confused.
Candidate George Melton has grand solution to
all the ails and problems facing the stateust egaze
gambling, and every thing will be hunky-dory. For
every "curbstone bandit parking meter let there be
1t least one "onearmed bandit
Candidate Art Lamey has also taken firm stand
advising that if he is elected Il will do my best to
serve you WELL.
Candidate Vernon Hoven has put himself on record
favorng greater industrial development of the state
Candidate John Bonner has come out against sales
and all anti-abor legislation, and his indicated dis
with the Pick Sloan plan and the need for
