| say that the bill, which | fear is
going to become law, represents no
contribution to mankind. 1t will go
down in history with some of the
edicts of the kings of old. 1t will go
! down with the alien and sedition
laws. 1t will go down in the annals
of American legislative history as the
great mistake of this generation
the political tragedy of a mature
people. | am confident that if the
American people know what was in
the bill they would not be for it. The
American people do not scare easily,
not when they have the facts. But it
is always easy to brighten people
when they are without the facts. That
is why jefferson said that the hope
of democracy depends upon the edu
cation of the people. That is why

slave the people never believed in

who would be a political dictator,

There are, of course, many people
who feel that way. Many of them be-

more dreary than a Union League
club. The only creatures in such
club who have any fun are the mice.

Howard Doggett

Sen. Doggett, Broadwater repre-
sentative in the upper house the past
two sessions, is seeking reelection
on batting average" of SO for the
people of his county and the state.
Here is his record:
1947 SESSION:
Supported: SB65, SB92, SB94, SD
1877, SD 149.
Opposed: SB105, SB159 and HJM3.
1s4s SESSION:
Supported: Sub. SB15, un-Ameri-
can Activities resolution, HB66, HB
BAT, HB138.
Opposed: SB34, SB36, HB145, HB

books, are shouting for more and
more repressive and drastic inter
nal-security legislation.
Most of these persons are sincere
although misguided Some have pure
ly partisan political motivations. Fin
ally, there are some persons in the
country who find it convenient in
period of international tensions to
disguise really sinister motivations
under the cloak of superpatriotism
We must beware of these superpa-
triots. AS wise old DR.. Sam Johnson
pointed out almost 200 years ago:
False patriotism is that the last refuge
of a s.coundrel; it has been used in
every country and in every age to
cloak self-interest.
Today we can agree that all good
Americans are anti-Comunist but we
must never assume that the degree
of a mans anti-communism is a test
of his American patriotism or his de-
votion to the things in which we be-
Eeve. Hitler was an about anti-Com-
munist; so was Mussolini; so are the
Ku KluX Khan, the Silver Shirts, and
the Christian Frontiers. The real test
of mans genuine Americanism to-
day is not merely that he is anti
Communist, but also that he is de-
voted to the ideals and traditions
which have made this country great
our concepts of democracy, of in
dividual rights, and of equal oppor-
tunity for all.

HELENA Especial Voice. = Sep
TENDER 9th has been set aside as Ma
tional Democratic Women's Day. So
on the evening Of that day the men,
bers of the Lewis and Clark Wom-
ems Democratic Club met at the gov
ernor's mansion to count their coups,
discuss campaign plans, and listen to
recordings of the messages of out
standing women of the party. Mary
Condor and Wesley w. Wertz were
guest speakers of the evening.
Mr.. Wertz traced the outstanding
progressive movements initiated for
all the people, such as rural free de-
livery, women's suffrage, parcel post,
guaranteed bank deposits, federal aid
to highways, social security, ETC., as
accomplishments of Democratic adj
ministrations; each move fought
strenuously by the political against
ers. Giving credit where credit is
due, he complimented Teddy Roose-
welt for instigating the Panama canal
project, attributing it to his Bull
Moose qualities rather than his Re-
publican affiliations.

He also spoke of the $19,000,000
openly allotted by the Medical profess
sion to the defeat of the current ma
tional health program, portion of
which is already enacted into law and

Senator Lehman

We already have on the statute
books more than 20 laws to control
and penalize subversive activities
such as espionage, sabotage, and fail
ure to register as a foreign agent.
We also have the Smith Act, recently
upheld by the court of appeals, which
makes membership in the Communist
party prima facie evidence of crimi-
nal intent. Hence, the only operative
provisions of the Mundt-F erguson
bill are completely unnecessary.
1t may well be, Mr.. President, that
the top Communist planners would
warmly welcome the passage of SEN
ate bill 2311 or Senate bill 4037.
Mr.. President, a few historical
facts are interesting. The first coun-
try in the world to outlaw the Com
munist Party was imperial Russia.
Seeking to repress revolutionaries,
agents of the Gear rounded up liber-
ais of every sort, and jailed them or
exiled them. Undoubtedly there were
many Communists among those so
jailed or eXlled. Among those who
were so jailed and exiled were three
men now known to history by the
names of Lenin, Trotsky, and Stain.
Jail and exile helped rather than
hindered them. Russia, the first ma
ton to outlaw the Communists, was
the first to be ruled by the Commu-
nists. A handful of prosecuted Com
munists, who had succeeded in fright
ening the Gar, led an army of men
and women who had been oppressed
and harassed and took over nation
of 180,000,000 people.
Czechoslovakia outlawed its Com
in 1910. That did not pre-
vent the Communists from taking
over Czechoslovakia in 1947.
In recent years a number of coun-
tries have attempted to stamp out
communism by outlawing, failing, or
otherwise depressing Communists. To
the best of my knowledge and belief
there is not single country in the
world where the outlawing of the
Communist Party has resulted in
decrease of Communist activity or

M. r. Henderson

NJ. NJ. Henderson, incumbent Gran
lite county senator, has not disting-
uished himself as one closely associ-
ated with the peoples interests. In

a "double zero" for the people, In
1949 he voted right on only one of
10 important measures roll called.

ting up of separate department of
labor.

Supported: SB127, establishing
special police districts, and making it !
possible to have deputized strike
breakers in readiness whenever a
labor dispute might come up.
Supported: SB156, prison made
goods BILL Bill had good points but
was too all-inclusive, making manda-
tory that all state subdivisions
towns, schools, etc, purchase what
ever supplies prison could furnish.
Bill was definitely discriminatory to-
ward Montana small business, labor,
farmer and all other segments of
which pays the taxes to
maintain state government.
Opposed: SB159, an excellent bill
by Burke, Yellowstone, designed to
ensure teachers of minimum salaries,

gress concerning income tax exemp-
tons. (See Blenkner record).
