D'Ewarl Montana needs this man because he is a practical, experienced stock* man, farmer and business man. These activities are not side lines with him. He is president of the Montana Reclamation Association; President of the Farmers Elevator (Director for 25 years), Wilsall, Montana; organized and served as first president of the Park County Cooperative Electric Associa tion, Member of Executive Committee, Montana Stockgrowers Association, Member Agricultural Advisory Committee, Montana State College. He served five sessions in Montana's legislature, two in the House and three in the Senate, four sessions on Welfare and Social Security Committee of the House and Senate, and has a record of helping to frame progressive wel fare and labor laws. Governor Sam C. Ford says of him: perience and past record of accomplishment, particularly in the Mon tana House and Senate and his wise and constructive leadership in Montana water development have demonstrated his ability to represent the people of Eastern Montana in the United States Congress. NOTE: Montana's two Senators and one Congressman are all lawyers! Both . of the opposition candidates are lawyers! Montana needs a Congressman whose experience has been out side of the legal profession. Post war devel opment and agricultural problems require the advice and counsel of men who have practical experience. D'Ewart is opposed to extending the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act which would place American Labor and American Agriculture in compe tition with foreign cheap workmanship and farm products. He believes American Labor and American Agriculture should have preference with American markets. Senator D'Ewarl's extensive ex ii i« s VOTE FOR D'EWART ON JUNE 5th!
