Both Lee, Tim Using Music to Liven Up Campaigns George Remington when some university students who entertained at their platform convention banquet two nights later in Missoula sang the march. Until the Metcalf March made Its spontaneous appearance, the senator's campaign chieftains hadn't given much thought to the role of music in politics. Now they are giving it some serious consideration. Who knows? Before Nov. 8 Montanans may be swinging to the Metcalf Schottische or the Tim Tango or the Lee "Why not?" Englcs laughed, recalling that a polka band enhanced the Billings furniture dealer's vote-getting prowess on his several, though unsuccessful, campaigns for public office.

Words to the "Tim Babcock Fan March" can be found on a post card faced with a color photograph of the governor. It goes like this: Vote vote for Tim Tim Babcock Boost our Treasure State! For senator, it's Babcock Vote November' eight. Tim's words spring into action background music for Babcock's radio and television spots as well as played on the campaign trail. The Babcock caravan touring the state also will feature a troupe of troubadors known as the "Caravan Band." It is a three-piece combo led by Tracy featuring an accordion, banjo and drums.

Each guest was handed a mimeo Metcalf camp of the importance of music in swaying the electorate. The first refrain in the governor's swingin' campaign is the "Tim Babcock Fan March." It is an original composition. The music was written by the music director of the Babcock campaign Al Tracy of Ellis-ton, who once played with some of the nation's leading dance bands.

The lyrics were written mainly by Fred Nelson, Bab-cock's campaign manager. The march has been recorded in California by a 20-piece orchestra and will be used as graphed slip containing these lyrics: Montanans for Metcalf, steadfast and true, For Mr. Metcalf, we're proud of you. From each corner of the state Montanans for Metcalf congregate. We'll work together in harmony, To this great leader, we'll faithful be.
