during 1856 from out of state

Through the medium of Forms

mitted by Tenant farmers, Oil

required to file information re-

to locate some 5000 out of

tory, progress, problems, aspira-
tons and prospects for a great
future. He will be a stabilizing
influence on the court.
Wesley Castles made an i'm
preston in statewide political
circles while he was county at
torney of Missoula county. In
1852 he came within about 5000
votes of defeating Democratic
Attorney General Arnold H. Oh
sen in Mr.. Olsen's bid for a Sec
ond term. Governor Aronson,
who was elected for his first
term in 1852, appointed Mr..
Castles chairman of the state I'M
employment compensation COM
mission and when Fred J. Mar
tin resigned as the governors
executive secretary SO that he
might return to Livingston to re-
sumo direct operation of the Park
County News, Mr.. Castles sue
ceeded Mr.. Martin.
AS to what the exact situation
has been l prefer not to express
a personal opinion, but it was
greatly felt that Wesley Castles
has been Governor Aronson's
chief legal advisor, and has ex-
erted strong influence on the
governors official decisions.
1t is hardly to be expected
that Governor Aronson will not
continue a close liaison with the
man who is now to move up TO
the much better paying job of
justice of the supreme court, and
that the views that Governor
Aronson and Wesley Castles have
had in common will not be re-
Elected in his attitude as a judge.
If Arnold Olsen had been elect
ed governor the thinking of the
men he would have appointed to
the supreme court vacancies
would have been far different
from that of those Governor Ar
onson has chosen. So in effect the
battle for the governorship was
also a battle for control of the
supreme court.
AT this writing the governor
has not revealed whom he will
appoint to fill the vacancy on
the railroad and public service
commission caused by the death
on Christmas day of Lou c. Boz
decker, Deer Lodge democrat
elected last November, but as
there are already two democrats
this three-man board, the APP
pointment will not affect po-
litical control. Appointment of
Mrs. Edna j. Human, now state
treasurer as clerk of the supreme
court to fill the unexpired term
of Frank Murray, was generally
anticipated.
AS was the case during most
of Governor Aronson's first term,
he will serve with two democrats

/ ment and the Red Army have
excited almost universal horror.
1t showed, above all, that COM
munism contains the seeds of its
own destruction, and that its
very structure is crumbling. A
view that is held by all manner
of experts was thus expressed by
Kurt S. Lachmann, a journalist
of long experience in Eastern
Europe, in u. S. News & World
Report: What we are witnessing
now is the gradual decomposi-
ton of the entire communist
system the ideas of COM
muniSm are dead. What remains
is the numbering, armored body
of Soviet military might"
This does not meal that there
can be any relaxation in the
Western world - its governments
and forces must be more wary
and alert than ever. To quote
Mr.. Lachmann again, "DictatorS
are being cornered. 1t is well
to remember that cornered ami
mails often are dangerous" DeS-
perate fanatics are capable of the
most desperately fanatical acts.
There is always the possibility
that, seeing their own world col
lapsing under the weight of its
sins and excuses, they will al
tempt to bring all the rest of the
world down too.
This is speculation But there
is nothing speculative about the
fundamental lesson that has come
to us out of Hungary - a lesson
that is destined to be read to us
again and again, as communism
goes through its death agonies,
however long that may take.
Super-government, all-powerful
government, monolithic govern
ment, socialism, communism -
name you want to use
- is the implacable enemy of
human freedom. 1t reduces the
individual to the stature of a
cipher. 1t makes a mockery of
every concept of human dignity,
human rights, the preciousneSS

Communism is simply the
end of the line for that kind
of government. Socialism is a
way station. So are all other
systems of government that at

THE IDEAS OF
ARE DEAD
Industrial News ReyieW)

Only time can put events IN
their proper perspective. The
news that makes black head
lines today may be as dead as
the Pharaohs tomorrow. But it
seems as certain as anything can
be that history will record that
the most significant and far
reaching event of 1856, and per-
haps of many years, was the
revolt in Hungary.
This uprising was not success
full in the ordinary sense of the
word. Rifles and improvised gre
nades and fists, unfortunately,
are no match for tanks and ar
tillery. But in another, more fun
damental sense, this act on the
part of an oppressed people was
almost incredibly successful.
1t showed that courage, and
the willingness to risk death and
torture in the pursuit of freedom
exist in undiminished vigor in
this chaotic world.
1t showed peoples everywhere,
once and for all, the cruel true
face of communism. This is
enormously important. Reports
from country after country state
that membership in communist
parties has abruptly declined, and
that the calculations of COM
munist and communist = sympa-
thizing organs are shrinking. Well
known writers and other molders
of opinion, who out of a mis-
taken and stubborn idealism once
supported or tolerated commu-
nism, have openly proclaimed
their detection from the party
and from the Kremlin. The ruth

F. O'Connor of Livingston dur
ing the 1945 legislative session.
A vacancy in the U. S. house Of
representatives can be filled only
by vote of the people and not by
appointment.
Following Congressman O'Con-
nor's death the question was
whether in making nominations
to fill such a vacancy, the pri-
mary law or the party convention
would apply. The supreme court
held that the convention system
was applicable.
The conventions were held in
Lewistown in April, the demo-
Gratis nominating Leo c. Gray
bill of Great Falls and the Re-
publicans, Wesley A. D'Ewart of
Wilsall. Mr.. D'Ewart served con-
tinuously through 1854, when he
unsuccessfully opposed Democrat
ic Senator James E. Murray.

Helena - The special signifi-
canoe of some of the results of
the Montana elections last No
vember is now being brought
into focus. The biggest prize in
the contest of ballots was the
governorship. Perhaps second in
Importance was the control of
the legislature. The third, which
does not necessarily rank lowest
on the list, is the political COM
plexion of Montana's senators and
representatives in congress.
There are other inducements,
so many in fact that it would be
difficult to be specific. One, of
course, is that Republican Gov
ernor j. Hugo AronSon will be
confronted with a situation
where a democratic lieutenant
governor, Paul Cannon, will be
eligible to succeed him. This
means that when Governor Aron-
son is out of the state Mr.. Can
non will be acting governor with
all the powers of the governor,
even converting the legislature in
extraordinary session.
The Aronson-C Cannon situation
is causing republican politicians
considerable concern, for the
Butte merchant, Paul Cannon, has
demonstrated an almost puckish
inclination to stir up troubles for
the opposition party.
Never before in the history of
Montana state government has a
republican governor had the
shadow of a democratic lieu
tenant governor falling upon him.
This is Mr.. Cannon's second term
as lieutenant governor but the
other time was during the in
cumbency of democratic Cover
nor John w. Bonner.
What makes the governorship
particularly important at this
time is because the governor will
fill two vacancies on the supreme
court. The court has been the
subject of rather widespread con-
troversy for several years. The
issue here is not SO much the
members of the court as individ-
uals as the political and econom-
&c philosophy reflected in their
decisions. For quite some time
the balance of the court has lean
ed toward the left. Presumably
the appointments to be made by
Governor Aronson will shift this
balance to the right. This should
the blood pressure of large
interests.
The vacancies on the five men,
Der court will occur in a few
because, first, Chief Justice
Hugh r. Adair is relinquishing
the remainder of his term in that
position to step back into the post
Of Associate Justice, which will
presently pay him a higher SAL
airy and, secondly, because Asso-
ciate Justice Forrest H. Anderson
