The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-06-29

eminent was divided into three part:
the Legislative, the administrative
and the courts. Those old fashioned
concepts have gone by the wayside
now that we have a Governor swing.

face about what law should ana
shouldn't do about airplanes, veterans
and who should be elected and yes
by lingo, we even know which way
the Pentagon should run the defense
of the nation.
Monday, Gov. Babcock asked me
why | wasn't at the Republican con-
vention. They had set up a placecard
and Chairman Mel Engles was en-
barrassed when Luke Wright of the
Great Falls TRIBUNE showed up
and no card for the TRIB had been
made.
Luke came out with a story that
all the cats in the Republican ranks
were lined up together just like they
claimed they were so loudly in the
Republican Lee press.
Luke is master of the political story
and maybe that is the only way that
kind of stuff should be written. Let
readers see the froth and frosting
just like the party would like to have
the public deluded into believing.
However, the way the convention
went, and l wasn't even there ard
can tell, left lot of people wonder
inf if maybe they should at least as
sumo an Independent attitude towards
the present carvings on.
Seems the Governor tapped his
jaw that the people should keep S. M.
Doyle on the high bench. Doyle was
appointed by Gov. Don Nutter, the
deceased half of the Republican team
of retrenchers we have had to en-
dure with makeshift solutions to the
very real problems in so many areas
of state government.
1t has been decided by the people
of this state that the Supreme Court
shall be a non-partisan group. Mem
bers of the group-the justices
may, because of their association with
the homo sapiens, be partisans, but
Justice Doyle is now placed in a posi-
ton in which he must admonish the
Governor to keep his voice box closed
on matters between the court and
the people. The people do not wish |
to have the Governors boy dispensing |
their justice.
If it were purely exurberance of
partisanism, why didn't AL Libra,
who was Nutter's campaign man
ager, running for the other spot on
the court also receive the guberna-
torial blessing?
Legislative, administrative and jul
parts, count them!!!

But then our trucking industry
Governor is an expert on lot of
law. Of course the Legislature in
tended for him to have an airplane
and the purchase without bids is just
an administrative shortcut of the
retrenchment policy he
has been entrusted with.
This streamlining carries over into
he Disabled American Veterans and
he Veterans of Foreign Wars who
will no longer need to have the as
