Dt-nny Smith Here
In the first of several
Morrow County appearances,
Denny Smith, U.S. Congress
candidate, spoke in Heppner
Saturday to an enthusiastic
crowd from all over the
county.
Highlight of His Comments
"Basically. I'm for less
government. ..Mr. Ulman has
had 23 years in Congress to do
something about balancing
the budget, reducing inflation
and eliminating needless
government regulation. ..The
incumbent's proposed Value
Added Tax amounts to a
National Sales Tax, just
anolher complex scheme by
the mar; who admits being the
No. 1 tax writer in Congress."
One Denny Smith supporter
made the point that a large
campaign contribution would
be much cheaper than return
ing the incumbent to Congress
with his new tax plans.
