This past week politics got off t.
a flying start heralding in a 1885,
campaign that promises to be long
vigorous, and at times bitter. AL
ready the rumor mills are swinging
into full production, whispering cam.
paign plans are being formulated
and wheelhorses of both parties are
sharpening up their axes for the IT,
tanic battle of words that will be
with us from now until next Novem-
Der 2.
Greatest inter est at the moment
centers on the races for U. S. Sen
ate and for the second congressional
district seat.
State Senator Leroy Anderson,
Pondera county Democrat, led off
the filing for state and federal of
fees a week ago Monday when he
paid the necessary $3.50 filing fee to
the Secretary of States office for
entering the eastern congressional dis
trict race. Anderson announced for
the post early in December and since
then has been campaigning vigorously
over the district, bringing to the
voters the able record he compiled in
his four sessions of the state legis-
lature.
Then, Saturday, Theodore J. John
son of Lindsay, filed for the Demo-
cratic second district nomination.
Johnson, longtime Dawson county
Democratic leader, homesteaded in
that county A years ago, and is
past president of Lindsay Farmers
Union local. He served in the state
House of Representatives in 1885 and
1887 and in the Senate in 1851.
Also on Saturday, following a year
of speculation, Cong. Wesley A.
D'Ewart, announced he will be a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for the U. S. Senate seat now
held by Senator James E. Murray. |
D'Ewart has served in the Congress
since 1915 when he was elected at a |
special election to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of James O'Con-
nor. Murray announced sometime
back that he would be a candidate
for reelection. Should the Democrats
regain control of the Senate, Muir
ray if reelected, will become chair
nan of the important Interior and
[nsular affairs committee. This COM
nittee has charge of legislation deal

Taking note of the desperate eff
forts of the Republican high COM
mand to divert attention "from their
failures in the economic field with
slogans and ballyhoo," Mitchell as
serted the people will not be fooled
by the COPS campaign ito plant in
the mind of every person the dark
suspicion that the Democratic party
is somehow the party of Commu-
nism."
Pointing to the cold hard fact
that the Republican recession is
deepening with each passing day
because of hard money" and
'trickle down from the top" poll
cies put into operation by the Ell
senhower Administration over Wig
orous ID e m a C opposition,
Mitchell asked what is the quick
est and surest way to put our ma
tion back on the road to economic
GROWTH"
He then proceeded to outline how
American farmers have lost billions
in purchasing power this last year;
how lover the country as a whole,
the men and women who work for
salaries and wages are making $3.5
billion less per year than they were
just four months ago." and what the
Administration is doing to meet this
economic decline. "The Republican
Administration" he said "has pro-
posed series of tax measures all
designed to be of aid to business
one is to allow depreciation to be de-
Quoted more rapidly for tax pur-
poses; another is to exempt large
share of dividend income from tax
alton, up to a total of SIP billion

Democrats consider it unjust to con-
centrate so large measure of tax

the economic slump and start us on
the way back up -.
I'VE learned in the 1905 that
IN order to have full employment
and high income people must have
enough money to buy the products
of our farms and factories" he
continued, but, in spite of that cost

which over a period of 20 years saw
American agriculture get on its feet
economically, Mitchell, told his au-
dience Everybody knows the farm
ers and ranchers are working hard
er now, for less money, than they did
when the Democrats were in office.
And, everybody knows, also, the re-
cession now spreading across the
country had its origin-more than
anywhere else-in the livestock in
dustry.
"The place to stop this recession
was at its source-in the livestock
industry. But all last year, the Re-
publicans came up with no sign of
any program to check the fall in live
stock prices Instead, all we got
from Secretary Benson" said Mitch
ell, twas Pollyanna talk about how
everything would be all right tomor-
row :" And, while waiting for "to-
morrow" to arrive the price of cattle
in the year since Eisenhower and
Benson took office, has slipped more
than 25 per cent.
MURRAY, AN IMPORTANT
COG IN WESTERN PROGRESS
Mitchell emphasized the import
ance of the forthcoming senatorial
election in Montana in stating eff
we win control of the Senate, Sena-
tor Murray will hold a post of great
importance and influence on be-
half of MontCna-as Chairman of
the Senate Interior Committee.
This is the committee with juris-
diction over reclaim alton, public
power, fish and wildlife, mines and
mining, oil and gas, Indian affairs,
public lands, and so on.
From your standpoint, this is
probably the most important COM
mittee in the entire Congress.

chairman from this state ever to
head that vital group"
