gather at a local political rail-,
within the past Is years turned

election to the office of county
attorney, candidate for county
Commissioner, Oscar Kvaalen
and A. T. Peterson, candidate fol
State Representative, in Sidney
at the spacious Elks Hal
Thursday, September Is.
Governor Aronson spoke ex-
temporaneously for more than ar
hour as he discussed his admin
istration and the problems thai
Montana has been confronted
with. The response of his audi
ence was enthusiastic and people
who had never heard the Govern
or speak except from a prepared
script we're amazed to learn that
the "Galloping Swede," as he call
ed himself, was a most convincing
and effective public speaker IN
discussing the affairs of his adj
m~inistration.
Urges Support of
Republican Candidates
In regard to the coming cleo
ton and its Importance to the
state, the governor stressed the
fact that in the key jobs of lieu
tenant governor, secretary OF
state, attorney general, and super
intendent of public instruction, 1t
is vital that the governor be as
sisted by officers of his same
party. He urged everyone to sup
port all qualified Republicans,
from President Eisenhower on
down. Mrs. Edna Human is can
didate for Secretary of State and
is now serving the state ably as
State Treasurer. Michael ].
O'Connell, who resigned as as
sistant u. S. District Attorney of
Montana, in order to become a
candidate, is running for the Of
flee of Attorney General. He is
opposing Forrest Anderson who
has retained his position on the
Supreme Court of Montana, while
running as the Democratic cam
didate for this office. Harriet
Miller, who is at present on leave
without pay from her duties as
Associate Dean of Students at
Montana State University, Is the
Republican Candidate for State
Superintendent Of Public In
struction.
State Board of Examiners
Controls Expenditures
Governor Aronson pointed out
that the state board of examiners
have control of all state expen-
ditures and that this board is
made up of the governor, the
secretary of state, and the at
torney general. The state land
board, which has jurisdiction ov-
er all school lands, is made up
of the governor, secretary of state
attorney general, and state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
The governor, attorney general,
and state superintendent of pub
lie instruction r ex off1clo
members of the state board of
education. The lieutenant COVER
nor acts as governor whenever the
governor is out OF the state, and,
of course succeeds him in the
event the governor dies or re-
signs. He pointed out how 1t
thus becomes possible for a few
people to thwart the will of the
people as expressed by their rep
resentatives in the legislature by
refusing to carry into effect the
which the legislature has
passed.
Aronson Will Make
No False Promises
GAS a candidate for Governor
Of the State of Montana" Aron-
son said, 81 a and will make
no promise except that to the
pest of my ability 1 will in the
future, as l have done in the
past, faithfully serve all the peo-
Die of Montana, without favor
tism to any group" He said that
ne believed candidates for pub
ic office should make no prom
SEES which they cannot fulfill,
md that if his opponent for
Governor were, to carry out all
he promises he has been making,
lot only would he bankrupt the
tate, but he would have to do
with the legislature. /;
