Washington, d. Cone post
election fact that stands out in
this Capital is that Ike" has al
ready moved in on his second four
years, and by January 81. when he
is publicly sworn in, will be wei
out and leading strongly over the
l956-6O trail,
Not that the President has dis
carded or would be tempted to dis
card his innate sense of fitness,
evidenced during the past four
years, for any arrogant overriding
OF constitutionally defined limits
Of executive authority. Rather,
fully aware OF his personal
strength and the strength OF his
office, he has chosen TO lead with
respect for the divisions Of gov
ernmenta functions.

pie TO this conception Of the Presi-

weakness, is reflected in the land

Dulles spent his character forming

he wrecked the Democratic Admins

nancing the war in Korea. A corpora

Stevenson Backer Contends
Kefauver Can't Win
Dear Harry Billings,

Dear Harry Billings,
Please don't think 1 am trying to do
your thinking for you or to dictate
your behavior. / am writing because
/ know you and l have many things in
common and should work together.
l. We agree, l think, that we need
a Democrat in the White House follow
ing the coming election.
g The Democrats have several worthy
candidates for that high position; the
Republicans have but one, who has
much hope of winning, ie., Ike.
3. The two leading candidates for us
are Stevenson and Kefauver.
Here we may part, l fear, l prefer
Stevenson as the outstanding statesman
in the whole western world today. You
may prefer Kefauver as of now the
apparent better vote-getter.
Please note the following:
l. Having practically no support from
his colleagues in the Party, u. 5. Sena-
tors, Governors, etc, as well as top
officers in the Party, Kefauver and his
supporters should know that he mas
almost no chance of getting the nomi-
nation. He might win in every primary
he enters and still not be nominated
because thereby he would still not
have votes enough to win on the first
ballot and would go down from there
on. Surely the whole Democratic Party
is not corrupt or boss-ridden, as ke-
fauver seems to charge. If it were we
should find more leaders joining Ke-
fauver in attempts to put him at the
head of a new organization.
2. Even if KefauVer won the nomi-
nation and were elected, he would find
it very difficult, if not impossible, to
command the help of the kind of men
he would need for his Cabinet
g. We are therefore about to witness
major political tragedy. Two good
men may knock each other out and
leave the field open to less worthy
man. This is the heart of my conten-
ton: Kefauver can't win. He may de-
feat Stevenson. Thus a vote for Ne-
fauver now is vote against Steven
son or for Hartman or Symington. III
then those who support Kefauver want
to defeat Stevenson and push Harr1-
man or some one else, they are doing
well to vote now for Kefauver. other
wise they make the tragedy certain
by so doing.
4. Is there any likelihood that those
who voted for Kefauver in MINI. or
may do so in other places would vote
for Ike against Stevenson? If not,
then we should now support Stevenson
as / see it.
Thanks for reading what | have tried
to write. Please think it through and
prove me wrong or help prevent the
tragedy.-W. p. CLARK, Chairman,
Missoula County Stevenson for Presl-
dent Club.

Smile When You Say
That Pardner

1t is always easy to determine when
you have won an argument or debate
if your opponent has to resort to name
calling, villification and sarcastic wise
cracks to support his position. 1t means
that he is destitute of facts, logic or
reasoning, and name calling requires
neither brains or intelligence. This
applies to Senator Murray in his letter
to the Editor published March goth, in
which he accuses me of fragrant false
hood" and deceit" Being neither a
courteous officer or a gentleman, he
calls me liar because [ happen to
honestly disagree with him.
When I first arrived in Montana more
than a half a century ago, if anyone
called a man liar, he had to be ready
to either shoot or run. In this case
Mr.. Murray chose to start name calling
from a safe 2,000-mile distance, and
since both my eye, my legs, and also
my old as are getting a little rusty,
am compelled to resort to the pen,
that weapon that is mightier than
the sword
That Mr.. Murray possesses no monop-
oily on wisdom, intelligence, or facts,
and is grossly and inexcusably ignorant
on the subject of government power,
is well illustrated in his letter. He
questions my facts and figures but
does not refute single one of them.
Every statement he made is erroneous.
For instance he states that Hungry
Horse produces some 785,000,000 XVIII
of low cost energy annually for which
the Bonneville Power Administration
gladly pays s3,62S,602 annually This
makes a $3.50 rate per kilowatt year
possible" This alleged payment figures
out at 4.6 mills per XVIII Wholesale or
$4,000 per kilowatt year, not $3.50 as
Mr.. Murray states. His entire state
ment is without foundation.
May L point out for his information
that Hungry Horse Dam belongs to
the U. S. government. The Bonneville
Power Administration also belongs to
the government, and is merely the mar
keting and collection agency for all
government power produced in the
northwest, including that at Hungry
Horse. 1t buys no power from any
body. All funds collected are deposited
in the United States Treasury and can
be spent by no one except under the
of an appropriation by Con-
gress. This will probably be news to
Senator Murray. Not a dime is paid
to any Hungry Horse personnel be-
cause no one there is authorized to re-
ceive it, and the government doesn't
charge itself for it's own services any
way.-By E. j. PARKINSON, Graf Falls.
