Truman Bradford, inviting Bradford
to attend the Fred Robinson bridge
dedication August 16.)
love you Harriet because by your
stand with the 'rebels" it is clear
that you understand the forces which
are driving to make Montana place
of pride in which to live. These forces
are available to the university system,

a sound position to take care of the
World War III baby boom, which is
now approaching the college age.
But the presidents say you would
be wasting your time with initiatives.
promotion of initiatives
is exhausting work, so, the coming
students must be the victims of the
big-time loan shark bonding houses.
Besides, the initiative route of rails

than the six-year bugaboo of the
method of waiting for
The legislature to act first, then the
voters to act, contracts to be let and
