Weller Objects TO
Comparing Wage Farmers
With fNoxious Weeds

"Don Nutter is guilty of de-
ception and political demagoguery in
his attempt to woo the working man
and woman of Montana" said Robert
C. Weller, Kalispell, chairman of the
Montana Democratic Advisory Com
mittee on Labor in Missoula, Tuesday.
Weller pointed to remarks made
by A. l.. Libra, Helena attorney and
state campaign manager for Nutter,
before the Helena Rotary Club on
August 10. Libra, Weller said, "com-
pared the working men and women
of this state to noxious weeds, in
these words: Labor unions are here
to stay, and if you can't lick some
thing, you must learn to love it
like the weeds and crab grass.
"Nutter," Weller said, ''has been a
consistent foe of the working people.
His campaign promises now to liber-
alize unemployment compensation
and workmen's compensation must
be hypocritical. They are palpable
mockery. His position of being
squarely behind all things and all
people insults the intelligence of
Montanans.'

On the national level, polltakers
and oddsmakers now show Sen. John
F. Kennedy as a slight favorite over
Vice President Richard Nixon for
the Presidency. Six weeks ago, Nixon
was two-to-one betting favorite to
perpetuate the Republicans in power
another four years.
Here in Montana the trend does
not seem to follow the Presidential
pattern. Six weeks ago, with the ex-
ception of possibly two top posts,
Democrats were conceded to have the
election going away. While Demo-
cratic candidates by and large con-
tinue to have the edge, since mid
September feverish campaign efforts
by the Republicans appear to have
narrowed the margin except in the
race for Congressman in the Second
District.

Nutter, Monday night, spoke at
some length on his high regard for

of claims concerning his efforts to

TIMBER said "Nutter is getting

Former Attorney General Arnold
Olsen still draws the nod to take the
First District Congressional berth
against COP newcomer George Sars-
field, but not by the overwhelming
margin political experts were &C
cording him in mid-Septeanber.
A HORSE RACE
Biggest fight of all centers on
the contest between Lieut.. Gov. Paul
Cannon and former Richland Senator
Don Nutter for the Governorship.
This race looks like one which
could be won by a nose by either
candidate. Cannon has tremendous
vote-getting power in rural areas
and is expected to gain the lions
share of the vote of members or or
ganized labor and their families but
he is woefully under-financed by
comparison with his COP opponent.
Big money in Montana is def
nitely behind Nutter, and, although
the Republican candidate disclaims
any affinity for so-called fright
to-work" legislation. the hackers
of such legislation are almost solid
ly in his corner.
Nutter says he is opposed to a state
sales tax, however, much of his sup
port is coming from top brass of the
Montana Chamber of Commerce
who's number one objective is the
enactment of a two per cent sales tax.
Cannon, majority leader of the
1913 House of Representatives and
for eight years president of the Sem
ate by virtue of his being Lieutenant
Governor, built a solid record in sup
port of humanitarian legislation and |
proved himself to be a real friend |

GAVE EGO" SIGN FOR
SURPLUS FOODS

AS Acting Governor Cannon early
began warning the people that a
major mess was developing in the
Aronson Administration Highway
Department. Also, as Acting Gov
ernor, Cannon made the request for
federal surplus foods for hungry
Montanans after Aronson had stead
tasty refused to ask for such foods.
In the two and one half years since
this effective action by Cannon, sur
plus foods with wholesale value
of more than $750,0OO have been dis
tributed to $4,000 needy Montana
people.
Nutter, on the other hand, floor
managed the Senate fight to pass
the anti-farmer coop tax bill. Nut
ter, too, as an able advocate of
arch-conservatism, consistently OPP
posed important legislation needed
to improve public school standards
in Montana. He also supported oil
interests in every major thrust by
their lobby to weaken the financial
return to the schools from state
oil land leases.

Speaking of Paar, a letter
from C.P.R. raises an inter-
esting point:
When I was in college, I
took a course in contract law;
and as I remember, there are
two sides to a contract each
of which has to be fulfilled.
Do TV artists have a law unto
themselves; and if they don't
wish to work, collect nonethe-
less?"
For one thing, each con-
tract varies-and a contract
giving the artist the right to
reject a script, for instance,
could result in a long absence
from the screen. The network
might still pay him for not
appearing for another network.
In Paar'S case; yes, he has a
contract and yes, if he wants
to get paid he'll have to live
up to it. OF course, NBC
doesn't want an unhappy Paar
grousing over the nightly
cable and having admitted it's
goof in not notifying him of
the deletion, will undoubtedly
make some concessions to
salve his easily bruised pride.
Sample: BY paying his salary
while he's away; giving him
Monday off in addition to Fri
day, etc. AS for Hugh Downs,

the producers of his shows,
not the networks0
