Charles M. Schwab president of the
United States Steel corporation, broke
the automobile record between Atlantic
City and Philadelphia last week.; The run
was made in two hours, which is half
hour better than any previous record.
At times the auto was running mile a
minute. Men. who: lead as strenuous a
life as Schwab evidently enjoy exciting
sports, but they really need something
like Golden Grain Belt beer to rest rather
than excite them. Every working man,
whether he be a millionaire, or day
laborer, needs this beer and will be bet
ter for using it regularly. If out, tele-

MINNESOTA POLITICS

The Nordy esten, the organ OF the Normanna
Republican League, In reply Ito T b 9 ou r.
n a Is query, What is the Normapna Repub
lican League up to-" quotes the constitution
of the new society as follows: !, 5. IS.
The Normanna League is organized to adj
vocate, maintain and promote the principles
of republicanism; to direct and interest in
politics those who have hitherto been more
or less Indifferent to their political duties;
to encourage attendance at primary meetings.,
In order that honest and capable men may be
nominated and elected; to guard and defend
the purities of the election. laws and to per
form such other work as may best promite
the interests Of the party. national, state and
locally, and the league believes this can best
be accomplished by restoring the lost pres
tige'. of the Norwegians in republican poll
+ The Northwestern continues in this fashion:
the backbone, sometimes the 9redeeming fea-
ture of repubicansms In this state; they have
practically, made the party and maintained it
in Minnesota. Eliminate them-or should
they, for some cause or other, Join the oppo-
sition-there would not be a political bone
left for the rest to quarrel about. In spite
Of this, however, and the fact that the Nor
wegians form one Of the most progressive,
intelligent, thrifty, enlightened, heaviest tax
paying and numerically strongest elements in
Minnesota, they have for years had no voice
the state. and have gradually been eliminated
from the appointiye Aofices until, under the
present administration, no representative once
is held by representative Norwegian,
h The Normanna League does not intend to
raise the nationality racket but it does
propose to see to it that Norwegians of capa-
blity, intelligence and fitness shall not on
account of their nationality, be barred from
being nominated, elected or appointed to pub
lie office in this state.
Evidently, from the tone taken by its
spokesman, the new league means business,
and will have to be reckoned with hereafter.

follows from Washington: .fgt5
The candidacy Of James A. Peterson fortthe
republican congressional. nomination in the
fifth district, against Representative Fletcher,
was not unexpected In Washington, 1t would
have surprised nobody had it come weeks or
months ago. Now that Mr.. Peterson lis ac-
lively in the field, it is a question down here
whether others will not enter Mr.. Fletcher S
chances, 1T is believed. would be better IN
large field of opponents. Both General
George P. Wilson and Eugene G: Hay are re-
garded here as likely candidates, and It is
said by those who are trying to keep track of
state events that both will more than likely
be in the race by the first Of May.
General Wilson's silence has been overcome,
but his friends say that he will ask another
term i'll the state senate. and will not enter
to complicate the congressional situation.

At three o'clock Sunday morning
last the hone Of Mrs. A. I. c. Sanders
on Range street extension was totally
destroyed by fire, together with allthe
household furniture, the inmates esca'
ping with only the clothes they wore'
At the time Of the alarm Steady rain
was falling and little while before a
very heavy rain had fallen which had
mnch to do with preventing the de-
struction Of several other homes IN the
vicinity.
Just how the fire originated is not
known, but it is supposed TO have been
caused by rats and matches. During
the are pointer pupp ran back INTO
the house, evidently 10 search OF some
one Of the family, and was consumed IN
the hames
Mrs. Sanders carried some insurance,
both on the building and the household
furniture, put we understand that II
was not sufficient TO cover the loss.
