regardless of his primary victories,
will walk into the convention an I'M
challenged candidate.
His cross will be his independence.
1t is hardly likely the Stevenson
forces will feel kindly toward the
tenacious attitude that lead to their
defeat in several places already, so
where will they go? They will have
powerful bargaining position. After
all they have been out trying to Stay
the dragon while the rest of the
Knights stayed home and waited.
The party leaders who spoke out
against Kefauver and have been
slapped on the wrist will be doing
some planning while they are licking
their wounds.
1t is anybody's guess what will
happen, but it will be fight for con-
troll of the party at the National
Convention. An urgent necessity for
face-saving among other things will
be a cause for regrouping against
Kefauver.
There is no other logical reason

This Editor spent last week il
Minnesota. Having relatively little tt
do he spent much of his time con
Quoting a one-man public opinion
poll among people from all parts Of
the nation, with particular emphasis
on Minnesota and the neighboring
farm belt states of Wisconsin, Iowa
the Dakotas and Nebraska.
That Kefauver should be the vot-
ers' choice came as only mildly sur
prising. That he should win by ma
jority of more than $1,000 was a
horse of an entirely different color.
Why did the Tennessee senator,
with one blow, score almost a knock
out punch to the presidential aspira-
tions of Adlai Stevenson? To find
the answers, more people were inter
viewed, more questions asked, at
least three major conclusions drawn.
1. Minnesota people objected most
strenuously to attempts by the lead
erships of the Democrat-Farmer-
Dor party and the AFL-CIO to tell

conclusioa-Senator Humphrey and
Governor Freeman, although well
thought of in their respective offices,
were given thorough-going drub-
bling when they attempted to set
themselves up as "king-makers."
Montana political and labor leaders
might well cogitate on the comment
of one Minnesota political leader who
stayed out of the fray, "there but
for the grace of God go | :. :"
2. NominalIy Republican voters in
the great majority, did not cross over
into the Democrat primary for the
purpose of mischief making" as
first claimed by Senator Humphrey.
Farm people who did give Kefauver
majorities in usually Re-
publican strongholds, did so, in part,
because of the Eisenhower-Benson
administrations policy of clicking"

EISENHOWER DID NOT
HAVE EDGE IN Regent
minnesota PRIMARY

An editorial from the MINNIE
APOLIS TRIBUNE, reprinted in
the Great Falls TRIBUNE, leaves
the impression that President Ell
senhower had the edge over both
Senator Kefauver and Adlai Stew
enson in last weeks Minnesota pri-
mary. This was not the case. Presi-
dent Eisenhower received only
192,482 votes in the primary while
Senator Kefauver received $4,000.
Altogether, the Eisenhower and
Knowland tailed less than 100000
votes out of the more than Gil 5000
votes cast in the primary. Steven
son trailed Eisenhower by a little
over eleven thousand votes with a
total of a little over 181, 200.

for a fight developing against him,
at the. moment. The people like shirn,
he has proven his vote getting ability,
his program is no more radical nor
conservative than the Democrats have
been working on for many years. He
merely moved forward before he was
anointed- such Indifference will
not be tolerated by those who figure
they should do the amounting.

80 did not indicate their 1852

The most talked about man in poll
tics at the moment is Tennessee Sen

The big question seems to be, how
much support from the people would
Kefauver need to overthrow the poll

Well, there's one thing you can
say about the farm bill finally passed
by the Senate last week and now be-
fore Senate-House conferees. The de-
bate generated droll suggestions,
some of which did not get into the
Congressional Record or the news
papers.
One fellow suggested that, to boost
pork prices, a law be passed requir-
ing packers actually to put some
pork in "pork and BEANS"
Another, taking note of the price
war in the super-markets over price
of meat pies with resulting de-
crease in the meat content) suggest
ed the proposed law cover meat pies
too.
A third said Agriculture Secretary
Benson's salary ought to be pegged
to parity. He'd only be allowed to
draw 500 of his salary, or what
ever percentage the farmers are get
ting of parity.
And there was the bill one con-
gresham said he was thinking about
introducing, which would give rigid
price supports to members of the
Farmers Union, flexible price sup
ports to members of the Farm Blu
reau, and so days-in which to de-
eide which of those two organizations
to join-to members of the Grange.
Most drastic was the tongue-in-
cheek proposal of an agricultural
statistician to decrease the cattle

MONTANA ARMY PROBLEMS
Last week members of the 3-M
staff discussed the Goth Infantry Re-
serve Division, Fort Missoula, The
Reserve, National Guard and armory
situation in Montana with Assistant
Defense Secretary Orth, Brig. Gen.
Lindeman and other army officers.
The Montanans have been particularly
concerned by the proposal (now be-
ing "restudied') to reduce the Goth
Division, which includes many Mon
tanans, to maneuver area command.
Senator Mansfield quoted Secretary
Ortiz figures which show that enlist
ment in the 96th is running much
higher than that in similar western
divisions in larger population areas.
Army said it and the Missoula county
commissioners had finally negotiated
settlement whereby army will use
500 acres of Fort Missoula lands, and
the county 800.
There are two big IFS regarding
prospective armories in Montana. If
Congress appropriates the funds, and
IF local reserve units meet strength
requirements, armories will probably
be built in several Montana towns.
MONTANANS TESTIFY
Hank Ruegamer, Hardin, and Cart
er Johnson, Billings, testified last
week before House appropriations
subcommittee on behalf of the $780,
$4,000 requested by the President
for Big Horn Dam. E. w. Rising, rep
resenting the Montana Water Con
servation Board, spoke for the Helena
Valley Irrigation District. A state
ment by w. A. Rossiter, president of
the Helena Valley Irrigation Dis
trlct, was submitted. Representative
asked the subcommittee to
approve loan to the Bitterroot Val
ley irrigation District as we'll as the
'thef hohtdnd requests.
ARMY ENGINEERS PREPARED
The 3-Ms were assured by the
army Engineers that they had funds
ana plans available to cope with pos
'lble Montana flood emergencies this
Iear. The Montanans had told the
engineers of their concern over the
anticipated heavy spring runoff in
ne kootenai, Clark, Flathead and
south Fork Rivers, and requested
hat action be taken in advance to
'rovide facilities to meet possible
Iamage from floods.
