Warn Coop Members of
military Socialism

FOND DU LAC, Wis.-(CNS)-
James Patton, National Farmers I'm
ion president, warned members of
Pure Milk Products Cooperative
here of the power of big corporations
and what he called military social
ISM.
"While farm programs, such as
price supports, are branded as So
cialistic' a corporate and military
power structure has developed which
makes it's money from government
activities but is somehow regarded
as perfectly respectable and sound
business for those benefitting from
it, - Patton told the co-op's annual
meeting. He added:
Farmers and other people who
earn a living by labor can only off.
set this concentrated power by get
ting closer together in action pro-
grams" He said this will be "con-
tinuing job no matter who wins the

Criticism of the State Highway
Department will not rest just be-
cause the election is over. We will
continue to be critical until we are
satisfied the proper steps have been
taken to remedy existing condi-
tions.
eve sincerely hope that you will
give top priority to the task of clean
ing up the present inefficient, poorly
run department. If you do, am con-
fident you will have the full co-opera-
ton of all of us who have been criti-
CAL" Nees concluded.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1960-11-18

Within the general trend, of course
there were significant gains and
losses for farmers in specific offices.
For example, great friend of farm
ers in the Senate, Hubert Humphrey
(D-Minn.) was handily reelected,
whereas another good friend, George
McGovern (D-S.D.) lost in his bid
for the U. S. Senate to the veteran
Karl Mundt, Republican.
Secretary Benson, desperately at
tempting to salvage some prestige
from the past eight years, claimed
publicly that the western farm states
''were particularly strong in support
of the Nixon-Lodge ticket" which
indicated, he said, ''that the Ameri-
can farmer is generally in favor of
the sound principles of the Eisen-
hover Administration"
The claim was sharply denied by
National Farmers Union President
James G. Patton who noted strong
shift toward the Democrats in all
farm states. He said the shift would
have been much more dramatic had
it not been for the religious issue,
unfortunately, an important issue
in many areas.

brought about by Williams issuing
two press releases, one about the
abnormal increase in right-of-way
costs in the Glendive area and the
other about financial districts being
operated in the red-contrary to law.
Whether the releases were true or
false was of no concern to the coun-
Gil nor the manner in which they
were released. To quote the report
'On the contrary from an exami-
nation of the record it is the feeling
of the council that the Highway De-
partment and Commission genuinely
felt that Mr.. Williams had disobeyed
their directives and for that reason
he was discharged"
However the council had reasoned
earlier in the report, "The protec-
ton of the rights of an employee who
is called upon to testify before
legislative committee is of paramount
interest to sound government" and
that Sin viewing the employee employ
er relationship between an employee
who has testified before a 1egfsla-
tive investigating committee or other
legislative committee and the de-
partment by which he is employed
subsequent to such testimony, the
department should be held to the
highest standards of conduct"
The question comes to mind that
perhaps freedom of press and
speech may not be considered to
be among the highest standards of
conduct by certain departmental
thinking methods.
Two recommendations to the Leg
islature were struck from the re-
port. These were:

was taken against Williams in the
demotion no punitive action should

Highway Handed Mild Gliding
Over Firing Of Horace williams

A review of the Horace Williams
demotion and firing from the High
way Department in June 1859 be-
cause he testified before a Legisla-
tive committee was included Monday
in the Legislative Councils report
to the coming session.
Williams reported the reprisal ac-
ton of the department to the Council
July 20, 1859 and a hearing was
held October $3.50, 1859.
The review of the transcript of
that hearing by John Cavan and Pat
Gilfeather was revised and incorpor-
ated into the councils report.
Williams four charges against the
department were considered in the
light of the testimony presented at
the hearing. 1t was true that Will
liams' paycheck had been tempered
with twice after the legislative hear
ings but the department excuses
were considered valid by the council.
Adjustments were being made for
sick leave, according to the depart
ment.
The demotion, according to the
testimony of Chief Highway Engi-
neer Fred Ouinneil, was because
of the information Williams volun-
teered at the legislative committee
hearing.

Although Kennedy Lost In Big Ten
Farm Vote Shifted Heavily
towards Demos Last tuesday

WASHINGTON, d. (NFU)-
Although Senator Kennedy's loss OF
most western states Ted some COM.
mentators to conclude that the Demo.
cratic President-elect "lost the farm
VOTE" the fact is that farm states
shifted toward the Democratic col
umn more than others did.
1t will take quite a while to get
detailed comparisons of farm, small
town and urban precincts. How
ever. a statewide comparison shows
that big farm states shifted sub
stantially toward Kennedy in COM
parison, with their previous votes
for Adlai Stevenson.
1t is not generally remembered how
extremely Republican the farm vote
was in the 1852 and 1856 elections,
but starting from that position, farm
states shifted substantially.
Take North Dakota, for example.
1t is probably the most predominant
ly agricultural of any state, and it
gave Kennedy only 45@o of it's vote
this year. However, it gave Steven
son only 1870 in 1852 (when it was
the most Republican state in the
returns).
What's more, North Dakota elected
a liberal Democratic Senator, Quentin
Burdick, last summer and elected a
Democratic farmer, William l.. Guy,
to be it's Governor last Tuesday.
