Official County Paper Dillon, Beaverhead County, Mont., Wed., Nov. 1,1950 .^Awv olùme 60 Number 17 » y? I VOTERS WILL DECIDE ON SPECIAL ISSUES TUESDAY Three Amendments, Referendum and Hon orarium on Ballot at General Election GOSMAN SAYS REPUBLICANS TO WIN VOTE State G.O.P. Leader Predicts Sweeping Victory at Polls This Fall -<s> ¥ A sweeping Republican victory at the polls next Tuesday is pre dicted by Chairman George M. Gosman of the Republican State Central Committee. The trend toward a complete change in the political structure is of such pro portions that it is possible that the state may follow the national picture and gain control of both the house and senate. The same landslide will bring many new faces into Republican offices and close the present gap of minor offices, state, county and city wherein there are now 38,000 Democratic office holders as com pared with 12,000 Republicans. In the second district Congress man D’Ewart is a “shoo-in,” based on the following figures: In 1946, when John Holmes faced Con gressman D’Ewart, there were 39,678 Democratic votes in the primary as against 22,619 Repub licans. In the recent 1950 pri mary there were two thousand less Democratic votes cast and ten thousand more Republicans. Adding this big Republican in crease to the 10,000 by which D’Ewart beat Holmes in 1946 means that the present congress man will be returned by upward of 15,000. A brilliant, aggressive campaign staged by “Fighting , Mac” Mc Ginnis against the present incum bent, Mike Mansfield, has made the scrap in the first district the closest in recent years. Despite “dopesters” forecasts the Repub- |- - - —ican l candidate has a chance to unseat Mansfield' by a narrow margin. Every indication is that Jack Henry will be the new state treas urer,. and Leonard Young will again ¡be the only Republican member of the State Railroad and Public Service commission. Farmers are going to vote Re publican this year because they are afraid of the Brannan Plan 1 with its controlled production and quotas. They resent government inter ference in their business and want to be free to plant what they want, how much they want and where they want it. The housewife, caught in a spi ral of ¡rising prices, and facing potential rationing of foods and other commodities, is determined not to go through the mess again that she had to in World War II, and she is going to vote a Re publican ticket to defeat any such possible situation. The dealers Next Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1950, general elections will be held1 in Beaverhead county and through out the state for national, state and local offices, and on three amendments to the Montana con stitution, a referendum and a pe tition for initiative. A sample ballot appears inside this week’s Dillon Examiner. Subject matter for the special issues, in the order they appear on the ballot, follows: Electors will vote for or against the question of amending the state constitution by authorizing the state legislature to provide for a department of labor and in dustry which is separate from the department of agriculture. This new department would be under the direction of a commissioner appointed by the governor, would hold office for four years, and his duties would be prescribed by the legislature. At the present time one state department combines the three fields of agriculture, la bor and industry. The next proposed amendment on the ballot asks the voters to decide for or against changing the legal limit to which a county may borrow money and go into debt without a special election. At the present time no county in Mon tana may become indebted for an amount more than 5 per cent of the value of the taxable property therein. As an example, if the taxable value of Beaverhead county property is six million dollars, then the total indebted ness permitted would be $300,000. The present law also provides that no more than $10,000 may be spent for any one purpose with out a special election. The new law would maintain the 6 per cent maximum that a county may be in debt at any one time, but would allow the amount for any one purpose to he as high the total 5 per cent figure providing there were no previous debts . . . in other words, a county could spend as much as they needed to for any specific purpose as long as the total county debt did not (Continued on page 5) 8-YEAR OLD AGAIN BAGS HIS BIG GAME Brings Down Deer for Second Hunting Season in Row TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS Due to increased costs of la bor and materials, new rates for The Dillon Examiner will go into effect on January 1, 1951.

ARTHUR WARD S P E A K E R AT ROTARY CLUB Compares Early History of Church to Modern Theory On Communism ■ • ------ — ... - .. .. ........ — * t*o/4o — Attempt on Truman's Life is Thwarted -® By GEORGE R. BAKER For the second straight year 8- year-old .Kenneth Leland of Hel ena bagged a deer near the ranch of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Steinbrecher of Grant, in Beaverhead county, this season. - , , . . .Last year Kenny’s trophy was a and buyers alike are downright! 205 pound buck, this year a 141 hostile with the new maneuver of the Democrats that has imposed controls on credits in purchasing appliances, cars, building mate rials, etc. Merchants and small businessmen who have been more or less “New Dealish” are back ing away in the face of projected shortages and limited supplies on a rationed, price-fixing basis. The laborer feels that the in crease in the income tax was un necessary and he resents loss of the additional three per cent that is withheld from his pay. Prop erty owners and others with in comes are convinced that if the 80th congress, in 1947, could bal ance the budget and cut income taxes at that period, then there is no reason why it couldn’t he done again. And the mothers, wives and relatives of the men who have been called into the armed forces, with the 27,000 American casual ties in Korea, are not in sympathy with the useless and needless loss of money and blood that followed a badly bungled job by our state and defense departments.. . Espe cially is this true of the marines, who were dubbed “the police force of the navy” by President Truman. Their magnificent he roism and fighting which brought the glorious victory in Korea be lies the charge that they are noth ing but a police force. Naturally those upward of two million people on Federal pay rolls are voting Democratic. Like wise most of those who are riding the gravy train in agriculture and industry are going to keep on be ing New Dealers. There is a gen eral feeling that it is not yet time to shoot Santa Claus, but the voter as a whole is pretty well fed up with the bungling and confusion that is going on in Washington and Helena, and ev ery indication points toward a change that will restore the value of the American dollar, as well as the faith of the American people in a reborn type of Democratic government. pounder—w h i c h proves that things just don’t work out—for this year he is 14.3 per cent older and his deer weighed 31.2 per cent less. He was one of a trio of young hunters who accompanied his father, Warren- Leland of 1504 Walnut street, Helena, on a three day trip into the Bloody Dick country west of Grant. All mem bers of the party were successful -15-year-old Jerry Burkman of Grant was the “champ” with a 200-pound buck; Jimmy Backus of Armstead (16) got the smallest —125 pounds—while Leland, sen ior, shot a 180-pound animal—a lot more satisfactory than the 21- Chairman for the Rotary club Monday evening was Lawrence Walker. The only' guest present was “Dutch” Braunlich. Dr. S. E. Davis gave a highly humorous and entertaining in troduction to Richard Burns and Fred Grefig, who were both ac cepted as new members. Dr. Cur ry announced the Girl Scout drive for funds and appealed for a Ro tary donation. A motion was made and passed to refer the re quest to the board of directors. Guest speaker for the evening was Rev. Arthur B. Ward who chose as his topic “Communism in Relation tb Christianity.” He stated that there is an element of comparison between the common ownership advocated by the early church and Communism but that the comparison does not extend to present day Marxism as prac ticed in Russia. Marxism, he de clared, denies the existence of God, treats the individual as a means not an end, and glorifies warfare. The four chief points of com parison are, according to Rev. Ward: (1) An apocalyptic hope; (2) an appeal to the forgotten man; (3) a missionary zeal; (4) a common faith in an ultimate tri umph. The best antidote for Communism, he stated, is a true heroic Christianity. WYNES RITES C O N D U C T E D ONSATURDAY Long-Time Resident of Dillon and Bannack Succumbs Wednesday Night Mrs. Harriett Ann Clift Wynes passed away at her home on South Dakota street last Wednes day evening, Oct. 25, 1950, fol lowing a short period of rapidly failing health. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 28, 1864, moving to Corinne, Utah, at the age of nine, following the death of her parents, and there she lived with Mr. and Mrs. De- mars. Mr. Demars had lived in Dillon before becoming a freight er on the trail between Corinne and Virginia City. In 1874 the famity moved to Dillon, then to Butte where Mrs. Wynes received her schooling. In early 1880 she married George Contway. Later she and her two sons moved to Bannack, there marrying Finley R. Wynes. She is survived by two sons, Arthur E. Contway and Norman Wynes, Dillon, a daughter, Hazel Dunn, Camarilla, Calif., a broth er, Alfred Clift, Salt Lake City, two grandchildren, H. E. Cont way, Dillon, and Patty Dunn of Camarilla, Calif. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at the Brundage chap el with L.D.S. services. Burial was made in Mountain View cem etery. Pallbearers were Pete Eiden, Otto Sassman, Vivian Thomas, Harvey Sorenson, Louis Thomp son and Frank Ryburn. President Truman’s life was threatened at 2:15 p. m. E.S.T. this afternoon when two gunmen, identified by the Secret Service as members of the Puerto Rican National party, were shot down while charging Blair House, the President’s home, to shoot the chief executive, according to an Associated Press report obtained from the Montana Standard at press time this afternoon. Mr. Truman was taking a nap upstairs in his study at the time, just before preparing to leave Blair House to attend ceremonies at Arlington National cemetery. The assailants evidently knew of the plans, and were waiting for the President’s exit, became anx ious and charged the residence. One man, Cuisello Porresola of New York City, was killed in stantly in the exchange of shots with Blair House Guards. The other would-be assassin, Oscar Collazzo, of the Bronx, was serious ly wounded. Three of the President’s guards were wounded in the fray. Collazzo admitted that the pair had come with, the express pur pose of shooting the President. Papers found on the men indicat ed that they were members of the Pedro Albizu Campos, a Puerto Rican political party intensely hostile to the United States govern ment. FAT PRICE FREDERICK, Md., Oct. 30.— A Polled Hereford heifer was auctioned Monday for $11,000, said to have been the highest price ever paid for this type fe male. It was bid in by C. C.

Kenny, who is probably one of the youngest “veteran” hunters in the country, used his same cus tom built, ’scope equipped 257 Roberts caliber rifle that he used for the job last year, using as be fore special reduced handloaded ammunition. He practiced with enthusiasm during the year and when he dropped the ’scope on the' trimly antlered animal at 210 (paced yards), a clean chest shot brought it down.
