"RIG SHOT" STRATEGY

The politically ambitious legislator
is approached by the Company" boys
who say "You're smart legislator.
You are going places. String along
with us and when you mature politi-
eally we will make you big shot
We will elect you governor. We might
even elect you U. S. senator" Some
how the poor legislator never natures
politically. After about six sessions in.

tors sense that they are getting the
run around.

Every state legislature has domi-
nant lobby. In Montana it is the Com
pany" lobby. Every two years when
the legislators go home the people
wonder: Why can the Company
boys so completely dominate the leg
islature? What is their strategy? This
is how it is done.

THE LEGISLATIVE LOBBY

pour water on them if they were on
fire.
"FLATTER-THE-WIvE
STRATEGY
Most women are born social climb
ers. The Company" boys wives are
on the job too. They take out the
legislators wives to socials. dinners.
and teas. After several days of float
ing around in high society the wives
are hooked. Very few legislators have
the courage to ignore their wives
pleadings.
BUTTER THE PALM" STRATEGY
The Company" boys spread the
word around to the lawyers, business
men, real estate agents and insurance
agents that if they vote right little
business might float their way. And
1T does. But strangely this business
goes elsewhere upon the first defeat
of the legislator. The moral of this
story is to be sure to elect only law
yers, business men, real estate agents
and insurance agents to the legisla-
ture.

"CATCH-EM-I -THE-ACT"
STRATEGY

A luscious, curry baby accidentally
meets lonely married legislator al
the bar. Of course the baby has been
well paid by the Company" boys
After many rounds of drinks, about
2 a. M, the baby invites the happy
legislator to her hotel room. After
several more rounds of drinks in the
baby's hotel room at an opportune
moment a flash bulb photographer
steps out of the closet, clicks the
camera shutter, and runs out the
door. The Company" boys don't have
to tell this legislator how to vote. He
runs to the Company" boys and
asks them how to vote. (This method,
repeatedly, hasn't been used in re-
cent sessions.)
POKER GAME" STRATEGY
The big vote is to come the next
day. The Company" boys need leg
islator Jones vote. Then comes the
big poker game. Jones is assured if
he votes right he might win quite
sum of money in the big game. The
Company" boys are the worst poker
players in the world. They never win.
But they always lose to the right peo-
pie at the right time.
WINE EM-DINE EN-"
The poor starved and thirsty legis-
lators need financial help. So you
hear the Company" boys run around
and cry LET me have the check. Let
me have the check-Let me have the
check" And so on and on it goes.
If the poor legislator only knew.
When the Company" boys are
through using them they wouldn't

MORTGAGE PURCHASE"
STRATEGY

Poor debt-ridden Farmer Jones
goes to the legislature. Much to Farm
er Jones' surprise the Company"
boys have made arrangements to make
all the mortgage payments if he votes
right. The Company" boys are al
ways thinking of poor Farmer Jones'
welfare. The Company" boys will
always take care of you if you vote
right. (Reportedly, seldom used since
end of WV ~.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-03-25
divide AND RULE" STRATEGY

In every legislative session the
Company" boys whisper brigade is
at work circulating fake rumors, false
information, tall tales and other
choice bits of secret news. The pur-
pose is to get the opposition fighting
among themselves. They often sue
coed.
"SLUSH FUND" STRATEGY
Political campaigns need slush
funds. The Company boys are BIZ
partisan. They give money to both
sides.
"BIG TRADE" STRATEGY
The oil lobby, railroad lobby, bust
ness lobby, truckers lobby, and Com
pany" lobby get together and sing
this happy tune.
You scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours.
You scratch my back, and I'll
scratch yours.
You scratch my back, and I'll
scratch yours.
And SO, on and on it goes for go
