If you don't think the 1854 polit.
zeal campaign is in full swing l just
dare you to spend two days in this
office! At times Pm not too sure
that we aren't in the 1856 campaign
too. For instance:
RUMOR: For U. Senate race

not important.
RUMOR: There will be at least
five candidates for office in the race
for seat on the embattled Railroad
Commission, as follows: William Pill
geram, Paul Smith, Lou Boedecker,
Horace Casey and Austin Middleton.
RUMOR: The Governor stated in
his press conference that he is pleas
ed with the job being done by the
Board of Equalization as working
unit for the good of state finances,
BUT the members of the Board as
well as other political forces are
presently tossing around a potato
so HOT somebody HAS to get burn
ed.
RUMOR: Capitol wags are now
calling the Railroad Commission the
Montana Boxing Commission"
RUMOR: Offers up to and includ-
ing 10000 dollars have been made
to interested parties with political
potential to get into the us. Senate
race, and though there has been a lot
OF drooling there has been no rush to
pick up the offer.
RUMOR: The reason Wesley D.
Ewart is making a number of fed
eral appointments from Deer Lodge
might be to give his supporter State
Repr. Joe McElwain boost for what
ever race he gets into in ga but also
to consolidate some of his own sup
port in the Republican party which
slips daily via the ethiopian hand of
D'Ewart's arch enemy Wellington D.
Rankin.
RUMOR: Leonard Young main

much of the legislation of the 1858

He said he felt very good about
the outlook for state government for
1854. Monthly meetings with depart

with the intent to expand them, will
tend toward better coordination and
cooperation by the departments.

the press that the number of beef"

He believes the prison is operating
on a more "business-like" basis and
stated that they were looking for
ward to and working on the problem
OF rehabilitation of prisoners.
Would he have, at this time, any
ideas about what recommendations
he would be making to the legisla-
ture? The Governor said he would
make some on highways, but on 9TH
err issues he didn't at this time have
any statement on the matter.
There will definitely be an Advis-
DRY Committee on Highways appoint

emphatically on his concern over
safety and means of getting
people more conscious of "highway
