| ciples, if the democratic party of thai
| time can be said to have possessed
| any of that commodity, and partly BY
a lucky chance that made Joe the
least undesirable (for the corporate in
terests) of the two gubernatoriaI can
didates. (The corporate interests that
year supported Joe for fear of getting
something a great deal worse,-for
them.) They got a lot of things they
didn't want and since that time they
have taken, and will continue to take
particular pains to see that nominees
of both parties are acceptable to them.
Things like that don't happen the Sec

If / may be pardoned a few personal
"reminiscences in my forty years of
close observation of Montana politics,
would like to show why Montana
politics will not be revitalized, or at
any rate reformed by either of the two
old parties.
1 came to Montana in 1912, thereby
losing my first opportunity to vote for
a president, which had been privileged
to vote, would have been cast for the
Socialist candidate which l think at
that time was Gene V. Debs. / was a
keen student and close observer of
political action altho not taking a very
active part personally.
/ became active in the Non-Partisan
League movement when that program
offered the nearest approach to social
reform then visible in the politi-
cal field and was taken by the League
into the Democratic party (and then
Townley blew up and left me stranded
there) Being, nominally at least, a
Democrat, l was privileged for a short
time Ga very, very short time) to get
my head far enough inside the party
door to get a whiff of the powerful
odor emanating from that quarter and
to watch the political wheels make
revolution or two.
Since there was at that time a size
able group of liberals to which 1 be-
longed, party leaders, in order to get
the votes of that group urged me to
get a place on the ticket. don't flatter
myself that the party leaders were hop
ing for my election, in fact | had con-
crete evidence to the contrary later
on but the expectation was to swing
this liberal group onto the Democratic
ticket with the expectation that they
would Ego right down the line" for the
entire ticket and if Hamilton was elect
ed, well, they could probably put up
with it for one term in order to secure
the votes of that group for the party.
Probably it was quite risk they took
for by one of those peculiar quirks
Of politics the miracle happend and a
Socialist, running on the Democratic
ticket was elected - by Republican
votes.
What impressed me most, however,
during the campaign was that at the
many rallies | felt that a candidate to
be strictly honest with the voter should
speak frankly what was in his mind and
let the voters take it or leave ii"
and this idea I proceeded to put into
practice. To my Surprise (not very
great surprise however) after one or
.wo campaign speeches party leaders
sndeavored to "shush- shush" me on
several subjects, l shouldn't say this,
IT. shouldn't mention that topic" My
'eply to that effort was, We'll it's the
ruth isn't it?" "Oh, but it might injure
he party's chance for success" From

My "Two-Bits' Worth"
BY LEVERNE HAMILTON,
Thompson Falls

The article in the Voice of oct. II,
by c. g. b. prompts me to make a
few more nasty (but truthfuD remarks
about politics and this (alleged) human
race.
If G. G. b. believes, as the headline
states, that the COP could revitalize
the states politics, then he, or she, as
the case may be, is certainly the prize
winning optimist of 1851. From forty
years close observation Of Montana pol
tiles / have been forced to the con-
clusion that any reformation of Mon
tana politics will never come from
either the Republican or Democratic
parties Possible, yes but highly i'm
probable. What Joe Dixon did in the
twenties was accomplished by little
shrewd adoption Of opposition prin-

This new turning point
in communications history
comedies with the 18th an
niversary of the telephone.
The American Telephone
and Telegram company is
mighty proud of it. Old
grandfather AT. and 7. has
only one complaint; people
keep saying the company is
just trying to eliminate
operators chronological
unemployment an a IL
that. The phone company
says that is. na1 the case at
ut.
The fact is, manual switch
boards could NOD possibly handle
the present volume of telephone
traffic; present metropolitan
telephone systems could not be
managed by gals at switchboardS.
And the phone company forcsecs
"a similar situation in long dis
lance traffic--which has been in
creasing rapidly.
So--the first long distance dial
ing system is now being installed
in Englcwood. New Jersey, which
is near New York City. 1t has
been selected as guinea pig for
this experiment because it is an
average community for traffic,
and has the latest equipment.
When the system goes into
operation toward the end of the
year. any subscriber in Englc-
wood will be able to pick up his
phone and dial any Of several cit
les across the land. The POSSIBLE
ties arc New York, Boston, Provi-

cities which will be equipped to
receive calls under the new sub
scriber-dialing system While the
system is being given its trial
runs, it will work only one way
only EngIewood, New Jersey, will
be able to originate such calls.
But of course calls can be made to
Englewood from other places by
the usual means.
Actually, long distance calls
have been dial-controlled in many
areas for a long time. But the

That's the present system.
Even so. it is a vast improve
