ROUGHHOUSE IN WISCONSIN
"We're in politics, we're not max
ing love-
With these words Sen. Hubert
Humphrey, the Minnesota Democrat
proceeded to tear up the floorboards
and figuratively bang Sen. John F
i, Kennedy, the Massachusetts Demo
crat, over the head. In the next few
days the going is likely to get
even rougher in the April 5 Wis
consin primary.
The bitterness of this contest has
caused considerable dismay among
east coast liberals, and l have no
doubt voters of all viewpoints
dislike seeing two fine men engaged
in the process of destroying each
other.
Although Kennedy has called Wis
consin "make-or-break' contest,
imagine the stakes are even higher
for Humphrey. 1t he's beaten decis-
lively in the Badger State, he's
through, whereas Kennedy will still
have reservoir of strength on which
to draw If Humphrey loses all the
10 districts, he's probably finished
for either No. or No. 2 spot. If
Kennedy loses, or does not win by
a huge margin, he will still be sought
after as candidate for Vice Presi-
dent.
Kennedy has refrained from overt
attacks on his opponent, probably on
the time-tested theory that when you
are out front, it's inadvisable to re-
sort to such tactics. have no doubt
the Kennedy brothers can be just
as rough as anyone else if they feel
the situation requires it.
Nevertheless the Wisconsin primary
poses some important problems for
Democrats around the nation. Can
this party, or any party, afford the
luxury of holding isolated
of this sort in which the
candidates rip each other to pieces?
Although such thoughtful political
writer's as Eric Sevareid think not.
I'm inclined to disagree. The system

The other important bill to reach
him for decision via a tie vote was
Sub. HB 333 of the 1859 session

who made the official request to fed
eral authorities for surplus foods
early in 1858 that more adequate
diet would be available for hard
pressed unemployed and their fami-
lies and for thousands of Montana
Indians who were near starvation.
Surplus foods from the federal gov

in various mining and smelling towns

the Anaconda Company.

not the Highway consider the engi-

basic Highway engineering training?

learned to their regret. but what
other way is there to keep check
on the Darkroom shenanigans of the
political bosses?
Kefauver. who has had the most
experience, says that he doubts if
Kennedy will be the nominee even
if he wins big in Wisconsin. Steven
SON has said that he was worn out
physically and had trotted out many
of his best ideas in the 1856 cam
paign long before he ever reached
the crucial contest with Gen. Eisen-
hover. They were considered old hat
by the time of the main event.
Both men unquestionably know
whereof they speak.
THE ALTERNATIVES
But their arguments fall down. it
seems to me, ON two essential points.
Where would Kefauver be in politics
If he had not entered primary in
his home state to beat Boss Crump?
Can a political boss always be counted
upon to put forth the 'sbest mani
or does he do it only out of despera-
ton or when forced to by public opin-
ion?
So far as Stevenson is concerned,
he really did not have to shoot his
bolt, or comment on every issue or
question put to him by reporters dur
ing the primary. He let himself be
into that position be-
cause he had not thought out his
tactics in advance. This is mistake,
that Kennedy has not
made thus far.
There is no doubt that right now
Stevenson has tremendous popular
support But can he count on the
bosses to name him again as they
did in 1852? Not by long shot, if
ne does not somewhere along the line
show some concrete sign of this fol-
owing. Where better than in a pri-
nary?
The real difficulty, it seems to me.
S that there are only 16 important
primaries in SO states. What might

would really be the peoples choice.

Lieut.. Gov. Paul Cannon, Ga, q

Last Fridays belated an
nouncement by the Highway
Department that a firm of Chi
cage engineers was recently
awarded a $4,000 contract te
engineer the Interstate between
Whitehall and Butte has
brought from Horace B. Will
liams, ex-Highway program
engineer, an inquiry as to why
the necessity of spending high
way funds in such a manner
when the departments Inter
state division is already fully
stated.
Williams also wants to know why
competent Montana engineering firms
weren't invited to bid comparatively
for this major investigatory job,
since the commission resolved to have
the engineering work done by other
than Highway Department starters.
In prepared statement, the 81
year departmental veteran who was
fired last July l apparently because
he testified under oath after having
been subpeonaed by legislative
committee, asked 'why hire an engi-
neering firm at this late date, The
state has just recently let by con-,
tract the structures on the Interstate
in Butte thus 'spiking down one end
of the route. This leads to the as
sumption that they think they know
where they are but need outside
guidance to find out where they are
going.'
Continuing, Williams said: ~.
"This contract calls for a payment
of $40. 900 to an engineering firm,
after the state furnishes the aerial
photos and Typographical maps. This
firm also has full access to all High
way Commission facilities including
the IBM $50, the Relish plotter, aero
planes, cameras and developing and
printing equipment in the Highway
buildings in Butte and Helena. With
all this help and equipment furnished
why was not a call for bids adver-
tised and Montana engineering firms
allowed to bid and get in on this
type of work?
"A number of Montana engineer
ing organizations could of, and
would have been qualified bidders
when their need for aerial photos,
Typographical maps and other
equipment and quarters were not
included in the equipment that was
considered essential for the bid
der to have for completion of the
work programmed.
with this type of contracted engi-
eering the Highway says it will free
heir crews for other work.

are the main opponents.
Continuing, Murray's prepared
statement said: 4eYet the residents OF
ST. Regis, who will have to relocate
if Paradise Dam is built, are never
theless overwhelmingly for the dam.
An article about this support in the
area appeared in the GREAT FALLS
TRIBUNE for November Is, 1859.
The headline of the article. which !
shall place in the record, states that
Most ST. Regis Residents Favor Dam
That Would Mean Relocation of
Town. This information was obtained
through house-to-house poll. which
showed that supporters of the project
outnumber it's opponents in a ratio
of to 2.
Paradise Dam was an issue in the
1858 campaign in Montana. All
seven legislative candidates from
the area who had testified in favor
of Paradise Dam were elected. OF
the seven candidates who had testi-
fled against Paradise Dam-at the
Corps of Engineers hearing in Mis-
soula-only two were elected. Cam
didates who favored the dam car
ried the towns of Dixon, Perma
and Paradise, which would be
+ flooded out by the dam.
"All the businessmen in Dixon, and
a majority of the residents of this
town, signed petition in support of
