Total number of visitors at the
Museum of the Plains Indian dur.
ing the season, from May 30 to
October l, was 20, 815, according
to DR.. Claude Schaefer, curator.
This figure, he pointed out with
comparative figures of previous

visitations. The highest previous
record was last year with 1884.
A greater per centage of Mon
tana people visited the museum
than in other seasons, compila-
tons showing 40 per cent of
visitations as compared with "a
per cent in 1947. The proportion
of out-of-state visitors declined
in the same ratio, or from &c to
60 per cent. Visitations by those
in the various states were rela-
lively unchanged from previous
seasons, DR.. Schaeffer said.
California lead with 2, 100, with
Washington (l,975), Minnesota

Election Day
Not Far Away;
Who Will Win?

W uO Ill VIII
With next Tuesdays general
election drawing close enough to
be reckoned in terms of hours,
voters are growing more con-
scious of the big event. Nation
al and state campaigns are runn-
ing true to form, with blistering
charges and counter charges, f.
cry oratory and such.
Next Monday night, eve of
the election. effort of candi-
dates in their pleas for support.
will be at spectacular end. The
following day. beginning bright
and early, the great American
electorate, with a potential vot-
ing strength of over 60 million.
will have their Sweet say"
AS to the presidential contest,
there could be an upset" that
would continue President Truman
in office. The cock sure" atti-
tude that Governor Dewey will
win is wavering somewhat.
In the history of national cleo
tons. people in decisive multi
tudes have reversed their stand.
For instance, in the race be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley for
the presidency in 1896, so COM
pelling, so convincing and mag
netic was the Boy Orator of the
Platte that had the election
been held in October instead of
November, he would have swept
the country. As it finally devel-
oped. people got ''panicky" and
withdrew their support from
Bryan. Thus, Mckinley went
afiying into office.
In Montana the contest of Tom
Davis, republican, versus Senat-
or Murray, democrat. in which
Davis seeks his senatorial post.
and that of Bonner, democrat.
with the same aspirations for
Governor Ford's post, are the
two imposing battles.
The politically-minded have all
kinds of opinions as to how these
two contests will turn out.
A rumor has it that Ford's de-
feat will be so gratifying to for
mer republican national commit
eeman Dan Milestone of Cut
Bank that he may celebrate the
event by sponsoring as well as
financing a victory festival, with
every Ford opponent in north
west Montana a guest. Whet-
stone is publisher of the Cut
Bank Pioneer Press.
There are three contests in the
county, which may break into
a rampaging little fire before the
campaign is over.
State Senator Aronson, THE
Galloping Swede," republican.
who is opposed by George Nc
Cabe, is out with b O t h sleeves
rolled up in his campaign. 1t is a
comparatively clean battle, with
no blows below t h belt yet.
Aronson and McCabe contested
for state senatorship four years
ago when it was quite a nip and
tuck race.
Frederic C. Sherburne, in quest
of the Office of state representa-
tive, on the republican ticket, and
opposed by Ed Williams, demo-
crat, is making creditable bid
for support. Neither Of the can
didates are making any rash
promises of what they will do if
elected.

Dutch psychiatrist said.
Industry should be made more
democratic. The industrial
worker living in his democratic
society where he may vote and
where he has a responsible role
in groups outside industry gets
embarrassed about the situation
in his plant, where he has hardly
any responsible share in the or
ganiZation."
The best way to erase workers
emotional problems is to pay fair
wages, have decent working con-
ditions and give labor share in
responsible decisions, the scien-
lists declared. Labor unions have
forced industrial giants to modify
many past dictatorial practices
but much still remains to be
done.

Psychiotrists urge
factory democracy

LONDON - (ALM = More de-
mocracy is needed in the fac
tory.
This was the not surprising
conclusion of 1000 psychiatrists
and social scientists attending the
Init. Congress of Mental Health
here. The experts pointed out
that much emotional instability,
family and social tensions are
caused by the paradox whereby
men and women brought up to
believe in democratic institutions
find themselves working under
dictatorial bosses.
"Most current difficulties in in
dustrial human relations are

kept pace with rapidly chang

But, as Local 1149's strike con.
mittee puts it:
Last Monday. the compan-
tried TO use the injunction l..
start a back -to-work movement.
However. the companY's back
fo-work movement gave birth TO
a mouse. Only one Belmont
worker scabbed. His name is Phil
Stephens He must feel mighty
lonely"
Early in the strike, Belmont
tried to split picketlines with
scabS hired by employment agen-
cies such as Jacksons, Hitler, and
Shays. But, in the seventh week
OF the strike, only handful of
scabs has entered the plant.
In its court brief dated Aug.
18, Belmont said that since the
strike began, Belmont has "suf-
fered monetary loss in the sale
of its products in an amount in
excess of 100000"
Belmont workers think the
company is penny wise, pound
foolish. A 10-cent hourly wage
increase to each of its workers
would have cost Belmont only
100000.

which obviously had been at

capitulated speedily when Off

Although he withdrew an
earlier request that the union stop

he ordered the union to limit the
