Helena - At this writing nc
statewide contest in the June 5
primary election seems In doubt
But IN analysis Of the balloting-
the why people voted as
they did - goes much deeper
than the mere election returns.
For the moment I shall not un-
dertake to 60 beyond the COVER
norship, which, on the Democrat
lie side, produced the most spirit
ed contest of all.
In this column / had repeatedly
said that Atty. Gen. Arnold H.
Olsen appeared to have the edge
over former Gov. John w. Bon
ner for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination. My most re-
cent comment was that Bonner
was narrowing the gap and that
the race would be close. 1t was
close. With a little more time
Bonner might have overcome his
opponents slender lead. Four had
filed for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket but only two of
them were in the running.
In a press release Olsen hailed
his sneak-through as a "won-
derful victory for people who be-
lieve as ! do In honest, decent,
progressive government" Isn't
this assuming a great deal?
First, let us consider statistic
ally what a wonderful victory
this was. The figures / am using

the Democratic candidates.
Heaviest vote in the 1854 pri.
mary was for United States sena.
tor, 1856 66 ballots being record
ed. The Democratic vote was 55-s
percent.
In the 1852 senatorial primary
a total of 150,432 votes represent
ed 4s.4 percent in the Democrat
ic list.
The Democratic senatorial nom-
inees narrowly won In the 1881
and 1854 finals, but in 1852 Els
enhower overwhelmingly carried
the state and Republican ]. Hugo
Aronson was elected governor,
This year Governor Aronson was
unopposed for the nomination.
The assumption that a heavy
Democratic vote in the primary
election enhances that party's
chances In the general election
has had notable contradictions in
Montana. For example, the sena-
torial campaign in 1916 was such
a contradiction.
That year the total Republic
an-Democratic primary vote for
United States senator was 1899,
of which 1874 percent was Demo-
cratic. This lopsided Democratic
vote resulted from many Repub-
licans going into the Democratic
primary, most of them apparent
ly to support Sen. B. X. Wheeler
in an unsuccessful effort to pre-
vent Left Erickson from getting
the nomination.
There is considerable to sug-
gest that the 1856 and 1916 pri-
mary election situations to which
l have referred were substantial
ly similar. In each instance there
was an important shift of Re-
into the Democratic pri-
the intent of most of these
cross-over voters seemingly to
dispose of a leftish Democrat.
In the 1916 Wheeler-Erickson
primary contest Judge Erickson
got 52.6 percent of the total votes
- which was better than Arnold
Olsen did against John Bonner.
! recall that in 1916 some per-
sons had the feeling that with
such a heavy Democratic primary
vote, the Republican outlook for
was all but hopeless.
But in the general election the
Republican nominee, Zales N. Ec-
ton, tailed 53.7 percent of the
Danny O'Neill of Havre and J.
Mickey of Gallatin county, the
other two ~aspirants to the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination in
the recent primary, never had a
chance, but they took votes away
the two front runners. / be-
ieve that O'Neill's 1925 votes
we're mostly taken from Bonner
and that, with O,NeiIl not on the
Bonner would have won.
Vickey's 1861 votes e hardly
factor.
Now that Arnold Olsen has won
lis wonderful victory" he is
rying to pull the vanquished and
heir supporters into the Olsen
old. But the wounds of a bitter
urinary fight do not heal quick
y, as was demonstrated in the
Vheeler-Erickson battle in 1916.
f history repeats itself, as it has
habit of doing, the pattern of
he 1916 senatorial campaign may
veil be the pattern of the 1856
.overnorship campaign.

When strawberries are red-ripe
all over, firm and slightly tart
that is the time to put them in
the freezer for shortcakes, sun
daes or other treats.
Freeze whole berries in syrup
to use on shortcake. Freeze
crushed or sliced berries mixed
with dry sugar or Filings, sauces
or for chilled fruit dessert.
Tests have shown the best
sweetening for the fullest flavor
in frozen strawberries is dry
(granulated) sugar that is mixed
thoroughly with the fruit. For
holding shape or texture of whole
berries, packing them in syrup is
best and is less likely to bruise
the fruit. Syrup contains water
and therefore dilutes strawberry
flavor nor than dry sugar.
In tests, / part sugar to 4 parts
by weight of halved strawberries
rated best flavor. Next best was
40 percent sugar syrup " a syr-
up mixture of 1 part light corn
syrup to 3 parts sugar syrup.
Here is a method for preparing
sliced berries in granulated SUI
gar: About 2/3 quart fresh firm,
ripe berries are needed for each
pint to be frozen. Wash berries a
few at a time in cold water. Lift
them gently out of the water and
drain. Then remove the caps and
slice the berries into a bowl or
shallow pan. Sprinkle sugar over
them, using about 3/4 cup to
each quart of berries. Turn the
berries over and over until thc
sugar is dissolved and juice forms.
Pack the berries in freezer con-
tanners leaving " inch head
space in wide-mouth pint boxes.
Press the berries down into the
juice and seal the freezer con-
tainer. Label the name of the
fruit and the date on freezing.
Freeze the berries and store them
at zero degrees Fahrenhit or be-
low.

FIRST LADY
RECEIVES
MAKINS

Lady Makins, wife Of the
departing British Ambas-
sador, received a rare honor
yesterday.
She was bid a personal
farewell by Mrs. Eisenhower.
Lady Makins arrived at the
White House at 2:15 pm.
for the meeting that was
originally scheduled to be
just before Mrs. Eisenhower
left with the President on
his trip to Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Eisenhower didn't
make the trip due to a cold
but was able to keep this APP
pointment.
Lady Makins said they
chatted for a few moments
about her coming departure.
She added that Mrs. Essen
hover looked very well
despite her cold.
There very probably will
be some gay young voices
ringing through the White
House rooms this week end.
AS plans stand now the
President will celebrate his
birthday on Sunday with his
family. 1t is a good bet that
his four grandchildren,
David, Barbara, Susan and
little Mary Jean will come
over for a piece of grand
fathers birthday cake. They
are the children of Mai. and
Mrs. John Eisenhower.

In the last "a hours Wash

You might even say there
were more candidates at the
United Givers Fund luncheon

than quota queens" Presi-
dent Eisenhower's good friend,
toy manufacturer Louis Marx,
sent over 200 little white
figures of the President and
Adlai Stevenson to Luncheon
Chairman Kay Halle for table
decorations. He also threw in
a model of the White House,
the Capitol, a tiny toy model
for each previous President,
and dozens Of trumpeting ele-
plants and jumping donkeys.
Now that politics have
entered toyland, children can
cry for candidates instead of
