'.MOntHu0 This Week

But, naturally, candidates pu
their best foot forward, as tn,
saying goes, and in doing thii
they are apt to become overly en-
thusiastic about their qualifica-
tons or as to what they will dc
if elected.
A candidate inexperienced ir
public affairs is prone to make
promises which later on he finds
he cannot fulfill. Promises made
in good faith may turn out to
be rash and haunting promises
when the day of diSillusion frus-
tration comes, as not infrequently
happens to novice legislators.
To return to the Montana cam
paign, with special reference to
the governorShip, it seems to me
that some of the claims and coun-
terclaims, some of the charges and
countercharges, are extravagant
and untenable.
In my opinion, the Republican
nominee, Governor AronSon, has
given the state a good administra-
ton, but it cannot quite be COM
pared to the perfect game that
young Don Larson pitched for the
Yankees in the recent world
series. In all respects Governor
Aronson's administration has not
been as faultless as some of his
supporters now present it as be-
ing, but, on the other hand, some
of the criticism leveled at the
governor is Incorporate.
To characterize Governor Aron-
son, even by inference, as a
miracle man is a palpable excess
which I am sure he would never
sanction, but to call him a do
nothing" governor is merely one
of those inordinate Trumanisms.
Governor Aronson cannot be- jus
tifiably be credited with all the
good things that have come about
in the state government or in
Montana's economic life since he
took office, nor would the Utop-
ian promises of his opponent, At
torney General Olsen, materialize
if that candidate were elected.
What l would like to see in
the forum of political discussion
is more moderation, mor re-
straint, more demonstrated fact,
more precision in the defining of
and at least something APP
preaching exactneSS as to how
pledges and promises are to be
translated into specific accom-
olishment.
What l fear is widespread
,yniscism toward politics and pol
ticians engenders distrust of
government. Weakened confidence
n government is perhaps the
most potent ally of those who
you'd destroy the traditional
american system and substitute
Communism. Public cynicism to-
ard politics as an institution
nd of politicians as the exempt
lrs of that institution is blam-
ole to those political practition-
IS who have a cynical concept
: the intelligence of the rank
nd file of the electorate.
Webster's dictionary, in defin-
e politician, gives statesman as
synonym - with this distinc-
on:
Politician now commonly i'm
les activity in party politics, es-
with a suggestion of ar
ice and intrigue; statesman now
ually suggests broad-minded
ID ~far-seeing sagacity in affairs
state"
Thank God that we still have
liticians who are statesmen. But
ere are not nearly enough.
The Sidney herald., 1956-10-18

Helena - Having observed the
current Montana political cam
paign up to this point. | wonder
how everything could be so righi
and so wrong all at the same
time. In the governmental realm
this state is either a heaven OF
a hades, depending on who is
telling it. And depending on who
is telling it, one political party
is the haven of the blessed and
the other the dominion of the
wicked.
With only a little more than
two weeks until the election, per-
haps many voters are bewildered
by what this is all about. To
hear the fulminationS of some of
the candidates, one would think
ii is all about to explode and
that the civilian defense organ
ization should be getting set to
cope with impending disaster. l
personally feel that regardless of
how the election goes this nation
and this state will somehow man
age TO keep on.
For quite a while it has been
my job, more or less, to keep
tab on politicians and undertake
to anticipate their actions. In
baseball parlance, this is easier
than trying to guess whether the
batter is going to bunt or, in a
pigSkin contest whether a pass
is to be attempted. In the main,
standard political strategy is
more practicable than that of
the Yankees and Dodgers in the
battle of bats or of the Missoula
Grizzlies and Bozeman Bobcats in
the battle of Drawn.
In its essence this campaign
here in Montana is little differ
ent than most of the others /
have observed, but to date it has
been more gentlemanly than some
l have seen. So far as / am
aware, no candidate has been
publicly accused of poisoning his
grandmother, burning an orphan
age or footing a bank, and / have
encountered no characteristics
sination whispering. I hope it will
continue that way, but that is
too much to expect.
Stigmatizing all politicians be-
cause of the unsavory practices
of some is obviously unjust, but
there is little wonder that the
in general is cynical to-
ward politicians in general. The
of all too many politicians
appears to be that the voters are ]
and hence can be victimiz- 6
I'd by deceit and demagoguery. j
Although the average citizen may
lot be as well informed on politi- '
al issues and mechanics as he 4
hould be, | believe the average C
without being able to v
make much of an argument in a
Import of his position, has a ma |;
i've faculty for figuring things a
ut pretty accurately in the long e
I'm. But it is on the short run o.
nat politicians rely. a
If politicians are really sincere
1 their professed desire to i'm IL
rove government and promote a
ne public welfare, they will ap- ii
cal to the intelligence of the
instead of to their preju- %
ices and emotions. The making o,

The report said an exodus

other factors, too, such as great
