WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

ignore the fact the ACM, the Mon
tana Power, the Oil Companies, the
Telephone Company, the Truckers,
the Bankers, are the ones who are
behind the downgrading of Cannon.
They want people to forget the
fact one of Nutter's campaign man
ayers is a telephone company en-
ploye on leave of absence.
The people should look ahead and
realize that if they get an antagonistic
administration in a man the age of
Nutter they may not have him four
years but possibly eight years.
The people should stop and compare
the advertising that is being done by
the Republican team and wonder
where the money comes from, and to
whom the Republicans will owe allegi-
ance.
More than likely they haven't al
lowed themselves to think about it
because they are too busy listening
to the undercover boys who are down.
grading the candidate who has proved
he will work in the best interest of the
people of Montana.
They don't stop and think that the
supporters of the Republican candi-
dates are trying to make the people
forget who their friends are.
In the past two campaigns the peo-
pie of Montana allowed themselves
to be victimized by campaigns of per-
sonal downgrading to the point they
voted for political primitive, man
who at times was considerable
source of embarrassment to the peo-
pie, man whose appointments were
guided by the corporate interests,
man whose political actions have more
often than not rebounded against the
best interests of the people, a man
who has put reaction in control of
every political segment of the state.
Republicans are trying to do it
again.
The Republican ticket at the top
this time is only more dangerous than
it has been the past years because
the standard bearers have the ability
to do it to us without having to be
told.
1t is time the people of Montana
woke up to what is happening TO them.
1t is time to stop repeating our
own political obituary and get in
here and fight this thing for what
t is
1t is time to fight for Paul Cannon
against the tremendous financial and
forces that don't want him
elected.
1t is time to remind ourselves that
are trying to cover up
| highway mess; divert attention from
heir lush financial backing; keep
people from remembering Republi-
ans refused to bring in surplus food
hat fed over $4,000 people in the
tate; that Republicans are trying to
mother the growing knowledge of
he people that they want to further
urtail unemployment compensation
that Republicans want to
Eliminate co-operatives; that Republi-
ans will use every legislative con-

'eople, and an additional gas tax;
hat Republicans made a disgraceful
arce out of the legislative process
uring the 1859 session, and dozen
ther things that should be being dis
used in this campaign.
The Republicans are using tactics
hat have proven successful in the
asst, but if the people stop one min
tie to think, when they step in the
allot box, they will reject these tao
les and vote for Paul Cannon and
or themselves.
1t will be too late to be sorry on
November 9 the morning after,
hen we realize we have been given
Mickey Finn and a hangover that
ould last years.
The time to fight is between now
nd November 8, and WIN.
The corporate interests and all the
oney in the state, will be of no avail
the people of Montana stop one
mute and consider why Cannon is
sing attacked and downgraded, and
