SENATOR WALSH'S
LAST DITCH FIGHT
FINE LECTIJRE

thought on the part of both

Montana politics r ejvjej lr

tional importance is atticed
to the Montana situation
through the fact that it may
lead to the retirement of li
nked States Senator Thomas
J. Walsh, who is fighting a
strenuous last ditch fight a-
gainst a determined and a
roused opposition.
Senator Walsh is an ardent
dry, running on the Democrat
ic ticket. His opponent at
home is Judge Albert Galen,
Republican, who is fully as wet
as Walsh is dry.
Maladministration of en
forcement laws in Montana
has brought such a violent
public reaction that Mr. Shep
herd sums up the situation as
follows: "The booze issue has
swelled up until it crowds ev
ery other issue off the plat
form. In fact, we are rapid-
ernment, when a man to gain
or retain office must depend
not so much upon his record
for decency, honesty and good
service to his country, as upon
whether or not he believes in
one great over-shadowing na
tional issue, prohibition. Mon
tana among all our States is
the most gflaring instance of
this plight into which we have
fallen."
Montana killed its State pro
hibition law in 1925 by a wet
vote of 53 per cent. In a 1928
referendum this percentage
was increased. It is anybody's
guess as to how much further
the voters will go this year to
show that being wet or dry is
more important to. them than
being Republican .or .. Demo
crats. . . .
Mr. Shepherd explains the
background of the Montana
situation as follows: "It re
quires a desperate -experience
with prohibition to put . the
people of the State in this
frame of mind. There are
"Kls'of citizens who would still

THE FARMER'S
CREED
I believe in a permanent agri
culture; a soil that will grow
richer rather than poorer from
year to year.
I believe in a 100-bushel corn
and in 50-bushel wheat, and a
bale to the acre cotton, and I
shall not be satisfied with any
thing less.
I believe that the only good
weed is a dead weed, and that
a clean farm is as important as
a clean conscience.
I believe in the farm boy and
in the farm girl the farmer's
best crops, the future's best
hope.
I believe in the farm. wdman.
and will do all in my-'powW to
make her. life easier and happi
er. I helieve in the country school
that prepares , for 'country life,
and a country Church that
teaches its people to love' deeply
and live honorably.
I believe , in. a : community
spirit, a pride in home and
'neighbor, and I will do my part
t& make my community the best
in the State. ; r, . ,

LOBBYING IS
NOTCRDflNAL
Lobbying, even in the "wick
ed sense of the word, says.
Walter Lippman, veteran
Washington correspondent,
will n e v e r be abolished.
"Common sense," he say, in
Woman's Home Companion,
"is teaching that lobbies are
not always criminal. It is as
indispensable a part of a de
mocracy as are political par
ties. The right to influence
officials is nothing but the an
cient ripht of petition, which
had its origin in the Magna
Charta. It is a right of the
selfish and the unselfish, wets
or drys. reactionaries or rad
icals. It is not only legally
ininossiblp to deny this right,
but practically impossible un
less Congress is Hocked up in
solitary confinement."
Lipruna points out that the
passing of actual cash by lob
byists is rare. Coercion by
leaders of blocs, labor, farm
ers, capital, those religious or
racial, are the most terroriz
ing, he says. The so-called
leaders seldom deliver or with
hold boasterl support, but thd,
threat, like the sword of
Daocles, is always there. So
cial, as well as business favor3
are other forms of bribe, more
powerful than money, says the
writer.
The actual definition of
lobbying as defined in the
Caraway bill," continues Lipp
man, "woulld prevent even a
constituent from appealing to
his representatives. Thus,
clear cases of violation cannot
be cited, whether in mild or
flagrant cases."
