Fort Benton FLU.
Commends Farm
Bureau Man

Fort Benton Farmers Union Local
zoo has expressed strong commenda-
ton for Wayne Neil, president of the
Lewis & Clark County Farm Bureau,
for his courageous stand" in oppos-
ing Eisenhower's veto of HR IL, the
farm bill which carried about 49,
000,000,000 of new money a year
for American agriculture.
This action was taken in a unani-
nous vote by the Fort Benton local,
according to Wayne Allen, secretary
treasurer.
Neil had declared recently that
"The veto of the farm bill by Presi-
dent Eisenhower was most unwise."
In doing this he had defied the lead
ership of both the state and national
Farm Bureau declarations, an action
interpreted by Fort Benton farmers
as evidence of grassroots disapproval
of the FB top brass position on farm
policy.
Farmers Union members were es-
pecially pleased, Allen explained,
when Neil said, "Most farmers realize
that they cannot produce and sell in
so-called free market when most
of the things they need are bought in
a controlled market"

Based on totals from / ,001 of the
states 1,081 precincts, 1853, 500 Mon
tanans voted Tuesday. This amounted
to approximately 60 per cent of the
total registration of 1926, and was
a record for primary election. I
1852, also a Presidential year, only
146,252 or 53.5 per cent of the total
registered voters (274,929) voted in
the primary campaign. More than 70
per cent of all votes cast were in the
Democratic primary. In 1854 only
55.5 per cent of the total primary
vote was Democratic.
CANNON WINS BY 5000
Paul Cannon, Butte, former Lieu
tenant Governor who left that office
to seek the Democratic Congressional
nomination in 1852, won re-nomina-
ton on his party's ticket, over six
other aspirants. His closest rival was
Sen. Henry H. Anderson, Libby, who,
although Comparatively unknown at
the beginning of the campaign,
proved himself a formidable cam
paigner and one who will likely fig
ure prominently in future statewide
contests. Cannon won nomination by
slightly over 5000 votes over Ander-
son.

ophy at Montana State University,

Returns of surveys in eleven west
ern states and Alaska were made pub
lie at the three-day sessions that be-
gan June 1. Atkinson stressed that
his presentation was an abstract of
the Montana survey findings. A full
Montana report will be completed
and released about August /, he said.

ernor's Committee on Mental Health

About 100 survey workers, state of |
ficials, medical men, and representa-

SERIOUS LACK OF FACILITIES
Atkinson said that the Montana
points up the serious lack in
this state of adequate mental health
facilities. The Montana report rec
that a study be made to
find ways of meeting mental health
needs in the state, especially methods
Of getting funds for recruiting and
personnel and for providing
treatment and preventive facilities.
The committee also recommends
hat provision be made for basic men

Based on 1854 primary balloting
and the total percentages of Republi-
can votes cast in other recent cleo
ton years, it is estimated that APP
proximately $4,000 nominally Repub-
lican voters crossed over into the
Democratic column Tuesday. 1t is
further estimated that upwards Of
10000 of these ballots were cast
against Olsen and Condor.
For all the effort put forth by
members of the opposition party, by
corporate groups, the liquor-gambling
fraternity, Olsen won out by approx
mately $500 votes, and Condor by
10000. Returns from 1,001 Of the
states 1,081 precincts gave Olsen
52,256 to ex-Gov. John Bonner's

Der of precincts gave a vote total of

The limiting factor on the
number of members which can
participate in Club Congress is
the total enrolment in Al with
in the county. For this reason
many Of the young people in
the county who are fully de-
serving of this award cannot be
given the advantage of 1t. Each
year, with more of the older
members remaining in Club
work it becomes increasingly
difficult to select those people
who will be going to the Con-
gresS.
1t is particularly gratifying to
see that SO many of our So
called '"Teen-agers" are re-
naming in club work after they
have reached the age of sixteen
or seventeen. This is one of the
things we have been hoping to
see.
